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.
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?
Developing habit of repeatative checking out things, doors ,switches ,numbers before final submission or execution out of fear that it might be missed or if it gets wrong. Due to this ,time gets waste and cycle of rechecking /sureity never ends. Solution please.
I started having this problem in 2021 after the death of my grandfather. After a while, I started feeling like I was getting sick.Even while sitting in class, I used to think the whole day felt unwell and dizzy, although till date I had never fallen due to dizziness.I got very nervous and would keep thinking something throughout the day.Then I thought I was very sick and wouldn't survive long.After that I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.This problem of mine got better for some time but the overthinking never reduced.I recently had gallbladder removal surgery.A few days later, a girl in my class died.She died due to jaundice and hepatitis.After that I started overthinking more and thought I too had been diagnosed with fatty liver and that I might end up like her .I felt these things for at least 5 to 6 days.Since then, whatever symptoms I have had, I feel that my health is not good Whatever happens, my anxiety increases.
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.
