Do I hide stress and addiction habits?

Patient's Query

I have a secret habit of stress and addiction

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

It's not easy dealing with stress and addiction. Sometimes, when we're under a lot of stress, we might turn to certain habits, like addiction, as a way to cope. It's our brain's way of seeking relief. But there are healthier ways to manage stress. First things first, it's important to reach out for support. Whether it's talking to a psychiatrist, joining a support group, or even confiding in a trusted friend or family member, having someone to lean on can make a big difference.

Hi, i usually take latuda 40 mg and benztropine 0.5 mg specifically at nighttime. However, this morning i took them on accident instead of just taking my morning dose of 0.5 mg benztropine. I was able to induce vomiting to try to get the medication out of my system. Can i still take my regular nightime medications(40 mg latuda, 0.5 mg benztropine? Or do i need to wait until tomorrow night to start taking them again?

It's positive you made yourself vomit to re­move meds from your body. Since you took the­m earlier today, you can still have your usual dose­ tonight. Just watch for odd signs like feeling dizzy, ve­ry sleepy, or heart be­ating differently. If anything see­ms bad, talk to a doctor.

It is my honest opinion that you should see a qualified psychiatrist who has an OCD specialization. They will be able to give you a proper diagnosis and suggest treatment that will enable you to maintain your symptoms level.

I visited a psychiatrist and he prescribed me these meds. Daxtin 20mg Daxtin 40mg Fluvoxamine 50mg Etilaam .25mg Explain these medicines from all perspective and help me get a pros and cons list

Male | 21

Here's some brief information about the medicines that your psychiatrist has recommended: 1. Daxtin 20mg and Daxtin 40mg: These are prescribed for depression. These drugs can help increase the serotonin and norepinephrine levels, improving your mood and energy. 2. Fluvoxamine 50mg: It's also great for depression and anxiety. It works better for sleep and decreases the level of anxiety. 3. Etilaam 0.25mg: It cures anxiety and panic attacks. Positive: Such products have the potential to alleviate depression, give you a good night's sleep, and anxiety at a manageable level. 

Negative: It might bring alongside other effects such as vomiting, giddiness, and drowsiness. In other words, these medications are intended to make you feel better, but they can also cause other health problems. Do not stop taking them on your own – always take them as your doctor has prescribed and notify them of any discrepancies in your condition!

Anxiety issue, dizzineaa, palpitation, depression

Female | 28

Anxiety, dizziness, palpitations, and depression can be tough to deal with. You often feel anxious, which makes you worry a lot. Dizziness may feel like you're about to collapse, and palpitations are when your heart beats faster than usual. Depression causes you to feel sad frequently. These feelings can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, or health issues. To get support, try to calm your mind, maintain a regular sleep schedule, share your feelings with someone you trust, and consider therapy or counseling. These steps can help you manage your emotions better.
