Hello, i have been diagnosed as bipolar iii+ GAD, and i am on escitalopram, lithium, lamotrigine and propranolol since 6 months, i am an mbbs doctor and i had taken escitalopram 20 mg for social anxiety issues in 2020 but then after three months i slowly quit those meds, after quitting i have developed sexual issues, physical symptoms and mood issues. Now that i am on these meds i have seen improvement in mood and social anxiety, but i still have sexual issues like low libido and possibly erectile dysfunction, also physical symptoms like fibromyalgia random muscle pain, pins and needle sensation and some ibs like symptoms. Unfortunately I cannot increase escitalopram bcz it causes me to switch and benzos like etizolam makes me drowsy. I also tried agents like tofisopam and buspirone but they didn't help. Now what should i do in such cases. Also i had really like really high Libido, also due to these meds currently i have lost that rage and motivation, is PSSD real? EMA is saying yes.

It's one of the most common questions I'm asked about TMS, and often the one people feel most awkward raising. Patients will ask how it works, whether it hurts, whether it's safe — and then, a little hesitantly, "…and what does it actually cost?"It's a fair question and it deserves a ...
Here's something that surprises a lot of my patients: one of the most evidence-backed, side-effect-free tools we have for stress and anxiety is also one of the least used. It doesn't involve a single tablet. It has no dependency, no withdrawal, and no daily prescription to remember. Instead, it ...
When depression hasn't lifted with the first treatment — or the second — the questions change. People stop asking "will anything work?" and start asking "what are my actual options, and how do I choose between them?" Three of the most talked-about are antidepressant medication, TMS ...
