Big Problem

Doctor, I was taking Flunil 40 mg for ocd under a psychiatrist for about 1.2 years. Later, I was also taking Escitalopram 5 mg under a psychiatrist, and my symptoms reduced but were not completely controlled. So I started taking Fludac 60 mg on my own because Flunil 60 mg was not available. After switching from Escitalopram 5 mg to Fludac 60 mg, I am not experiencing any noticeable side effects and I am feeling better. Please guide me whether it is okay to continue this dose or if any adjustment is needed. I currently do not have money for a consultation, so I would be very grateful if you could please advise me out of humanity.

Big Problem

The doctor has written 1-0-1 for taking Fludac 60 mg for OCD, but I feel lazy during the daytime because of the medicine’s side effects. Will there be any problem if I take it after 9 PM at night?

Big Problem

Sir, in  ocd I get obscene image thoughts about my mother in my mind, and I was taking Fluni 60 mg for it. Now it is not available, so I am taking Fludac 60 mg. Is this the right medicine?

Is it available or not

I posted once asking about Guanfacine availability in India, and many doctors commented that it is available in India. So I went to my psychiatrist at Sion Government Hospital, Mumbai, but my psychiatrist said Guanfacine ER is not available in India. Now I am confused: Is Guanfacine ER actually available in India or not? Is it unavailable only in government hospitals? Can government hospital psychiatrists prescribe it? Do I need to visit a private psychiatrist/private clinic to get it prescribed? Would appreciate guidance from psychiatrists or anyone who has personally used/prescribed Guanfacine ER in India.
