If a 13 yo who had acute anxiety episode with distressing thoughts like what if some negative creature existed, what if someone did harm to me, for 4 days, first time in life, taken to psychiatrist on 5th day, who counselled and gave etilaam 0.25 for 7 days and sos and ssri flunil 10 for 45 days... he has taken 30 days of ssri till date in morning 10am. His anxiety went off immediately after a day of etilaam although he had drowsiness and slightly low bp from it. He is taking ssri now but he has been having disturbed sleep and daytime yawning and light fatigue especially in evening... he's unable to focus and study for more than 8 to 10 minutes in a stretch, he starts yawning and takes break. So focus seems to have reduced... also slightly hyperactive behavior at times. He used to study till late night before but now seems fatigue and focus less but he is enjoying watching shows, searching online different things etc. Is this long term ssri unnecessary for him as he has no anxiety now
Hello Doctor,
.
I have severe anxiety with frequent panic attacks. I also have significant mood swings and several other symptoms that make me concerned about bipolar disorder, not just mood swings alone. I have never been formally diagnosed, but I would like to be properly evaluated for bipolar disorder or any other psychiatric condition. I have also experienced obsessive thoughts/behaviors and have had suicidal thoughts in the past.
Whenever I cry intensely, become very anxious, or get angry, I sometimes become unconscious for about 3-5 minutes. During these episodes I can hear everything happening around me but cannot open my eyes or move my body. I breathe normally.
I also have persistent diplopia (double vision). I underwent eye surgery, but it did not improve. My ophthalmologist told me the cause is likely neurological rather than an eye problem.
Recently, I accidentally overdosed on 200 mg amitriptyline.
Hello Doctor, I am 33 years old male. For the last few months I have been having memory problems. I forget passwords, names and sometimes have difficulty recognizing familiar faces. I also feel confused and find it hard to concentrate. These symptoms are affecting my daily life. Please guide me about the possible cause and whether I need any tests or treatment.
Doctor, does Inderal 20 mg or Inderal 40 mg work for performance anxiety? Please help me. I have no money for a medical consultation. I'm asking for your guidance on humanitarian grounds. Thank you.
Husband and I were facing some mental health issues. So I consulted the doc for myself as he is not comfortable with psychiatry. The doctor suggested Tryptomer 25mg. Husband too started as he got better with the medicine..after 2 weeks he tapered down to 17.5mg then after 10 days to 10mg. Now, he is again facing issues in his health and lost interest in talking, walking, running etc. He is not ready to go to the doctor for the same. So, can I get the advice for him. What should I do with his medicine. Should I tell him to continue with 10mg or should he increase the mg? Please help.
