Hii sir I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet.I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problems in sexual hormones change.
Male | 19
Daxid 50 mg could influence sexual hormones in certain individuals. They may experience symptoms such as changes in libido or trouble getting aroused. This could be because some drugs interfere with the body’s hormone levels. If you notice these changes, discuss them with your doctor. They can find a remedy for this issue or change your medication if necessary. Pay attention to how you feel and if anything seems wrong, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.

You might have acid reflux making your chest feel weird after eating. It could also be anxiety. Dry, scratchy eyes are another sign of being anxious. You should try eating more slowly and staying away from spicy foods as well as doing relaxation exercises or talking with someone you trust about what's on your mind Managing your anxiousness can also help with relieving dryness so if needed use some artificial tears.

How can you quit smoking permanently with the help of medicine
Female | 22
Smoking cigarettes has negative effects. You can stop with assistance and commitment. Medicines help make quitting manageable. Smoking harms your lungs, heart, and raises cancer risk. Nicotine patches or gum reduce cravings, fight withdrawal. Stick with prescribed dosages. Support from loved ones strengthens determination. It's difficult, but achievable with perseverance and help.

I take Sertraline for anxiety and depression and I am going to have my first tattoo done and don't no if the Sertraline has blood thinners in it. Many Thanks.
Male | 47
Sertraline is a medicine often used for anxiety and depression. Tattooing does not contain blood thinners but may result in minor bleeding. Thus it’s important to inform the tattoo artist about your intake of Sertraline so that they can take necessary precautions. To prevent any complications ensure you adhere to their aftercare advice.

I m 14 year having no interest in studies forgot what learned
Male | 14
Teenagers often may not like some kinds of studying because it seems they have no interest in some subjects. It's similar to our emotions can be weakened or lost by outside forces such as being overwhelmed, demotivated, or distracted. Forgetting what you have learned can indicate that you are stressed or overwhelmed with many things in your head. You need to find time to unwind, practice self-discipline, and communicate your needs to someone if this happens to you. Appreciate that being involved in your studies is important but take time to relax and take care of yourself by knowing that it's okay to need help from others whenever you are in trouble.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.
Male | 21
Often, a constant feeling of tiredness yet not wanting to sleep signals sleep issues or irregular routine. Perhaps insufficient rest or poor sleep patterns occur. Stress, excessive screen time, or inadequate exercise contribute. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Limit caffeine and sugar intake and wind down before bed.

It seems you have already been dealing with anxiety for a while, it definitely can be a hard thing to do. Anxiety can make you feel nervous, scared, etc. It could occur due to stressful situations, genetics, or the imbalances of your brain chemicals.

I have short term memory issues..I forgot what I have studied..I am a student.. currently preparing for competitive exam ..does it safe to take ritalin like addwize 18mg for memory and concentration
Male | 30
Short-term memory problems happen because of stress, chronic sleep deprivation, or low concentration. Instead of taking medication like Ritalin or Addwize, it's better to focus on healthy habits like getting enough sleep, eating well, and practicing relaxation techniques. Besides that, you can try memory techniques such as list-making or flashcards to remember information effectively.

Male | 23
Addressing issues related to neurotransmitter levels requires consultation with a psychiatrist or neurologist. Discontinuing medications such as risperidone and haloperidol can lead to a drop in serotonin and dopamine levels. Additionally, the use of supplements like tryptophan, tyrosine, 5-HTP, and mucuna pruriens may also affect neurotransmitter levels. It's essential to consult a specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment of any potential imbalances beforehand.

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!

I am an 18 year old female and have recently been prescribed 25mg of setraline. However i haven't started taking it yet as i didn't feel i got to ask the questions that concerned me about starting this medication and talk about the side effects before committing to this medication.
Female | 18
Sertraline is often a drug to treat feelings of anxiety or depression. Undoubtedly, nausea, headaches, or tiredness can be among the common side effects. But these typically go away by themselves after a short period. If you notice anything that concerns you or if you have any unusual symptoms, speaking with your psychiatrist is a helpful thing to do.

The effects of a birth control injection can't be washed out as it stays in your body for a specific duration, typically around three months. If you're facing problems, it's important to consult a gynecologist who can guide you on the best course of action for your situation. They can also discuss alternative contraceptive methods that might suit you better.

Can i take ibuprofen with clonazepam together
Female | 26
Taking ibuprofen and clonazepam together isn't recommended unless your doctor approves it. If combined without medical advice, there's an elevated risk of undesirable effects: drowsiness, dizziness, breathing difficulties. Therefore, consult your psychiatrist before using these medications concurrently. They may suggest timing adjustments or alternative treatments to address your symptoms securely.

Male | 26
You had a tough experience, it seems. The symptoms like nervousness, sweating, throwing up, and difficulty sleeping could point to anxiety. Anxiety can sometimes cause physical signs including stomach issues. Try to calm down by taking deep breaths and avoiding spicy or acidic foods. If symptoms don't go away, speaking to an expert could provide more help.
