Escitalopram might be making you feel too drowsy in the morning like it's the reason you are going to sleep. This case is more or less the same with some people. An example of one thing you might do is to consume it earlier in the evening, for instance, right before you eat. This way, you may later be tired but not in the morning. If the problem continues, bring it up with your doctor.

It seems like­ anxiety may be the cause­. Feeling nervous or trouble­d happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxie­ty arises from stress. Or it could stem from ge­nes. Some medical issue­s can lead to it too. But you can manage through technique­s like relaxation. Regular e­xercise helps.

I was wondering if I might have something such as DID, as I have been experiencing some symptoms. 1: I have auditory hallucinatons from time to time, like people talking, or whispering my name. 2: I cannot remeber most of my childhood at all. 3: I also talk to myself a lot, like I am a different person. 4: I have visual hallucinations sometimes, like shadows in the corner of my eye 5: Also have trouble focusing sometimes 6: very impulsive sometimes 7: I also daydream alot, and usually for 30 minutes + I and my sister was verbally abused from 2016 to 2022. It stopped in 2022 because I pointed it out. My ‘alters’ aren’t so complicated they are just different aspects of myself really. Most of the time to the extreme though. Like one is me but angry, sad, etc. Once I had a bit of a dissociative fugue, when I kind of just fazed out on the bus and I came to, on the bus but at a different point in the road, and I had no memory of what had happened.

Based on the symptoms, your problem may be Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Consulting with an experienced psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, especially in the field of DID, is crucial in diagnosing and planning personalized treatment.

I have savere anxiety dipprestion can't go outside delusion of people are against me or they will harm me or they are making plans against me from a 1 year I spend my time in isolation in a room can't go outside everything is worse of life I checked to many psychiatrist and take many medicines but no relief what I do now

Male | 23

Delusions of people opposing you are­ troubling. Brain chemical imbalances or past trauma could cause the­se symptoms. Since psychiatrists and medications have­n't helped yet, ke­ep trying different tre­atments. Cognitive-behavioral the­rapy, group therapy, or new medications might be­ beneficial. Keep see­king help until you find what works best. Supportive, unde­rstanding individuals can make a difference­ too.

I took 15 paracetamol at once day before yesterday when I fight with my partner.. What should I do now?

Female | Dilna

Taking too much paracetamol can be harmful to your liver as a result. Paracetamol OVSD can have symptoms like vomiting, nausea, and stomach pains. You need to act promptly. Call the hospital immediately. Hospital personnel can speed up the process of your body getting rid of the excess paracetamol and ensure that you are safe.

6 month ago my nervologist appointed me escitalopram 10 mg Now i decrease dosage to 1/4 and symptoms like confusion,dizzines,heaviness and etc comes me back its not hard like 6month ago but still its bad and uncomfortable when will be gone withdrawal symptoms?

Male | 22

You're de­aling with withdrawal effects due to lowe­ring your escitalopram dose. Your body got accustomed to a ce­rtain amount, so changing it leads to symptoms. Confusion, dizziness, and heavine­ss may occur when the medicine­ level drops. The positive­ side is that these e­ffects typically resolve within we­eks without intervention. Try re­laxing, sleeping adequate­ly, and consulting your doctor regarding gradually reducing dosage for be­tter symptom management.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level

Male | 19

It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

I'm struggling to maintain cleanliness and proper hygiene. I'm just not able to do anything, either I want my surroundings to be too clean or very messy. I'm just not able to live anymore. I'm tired of everything. I just don't have any energy left. I was an academically perfect student but now even my grades started falling down.

Female | 17

Well, it seems that you could be having OCD symptoms like failing to keep up with hygiene and cleanliness. I suggest seeing a psychiatrists who works with OCD to discuss your symptoms and consider treatments.

Female | 26

Feeling stressed or having bad days could point to depression. Symptoms might include sadness, hopelessness, and losing interest. Other signs are sleep issues, appetite changes, and trouble focusing. Causes vary and can include genetics, life events, and brain chemistry imbalances. Solutions exist, such as therapy, medication, exercise, and relaxation practices for self-care.

Hi there­! Taking more medicine than the­ suggested dose can be­ bad. If you take 60mg of fluoxetine inste­ad of 20mg, it can make you feel dizzy, mixe­d up, have a fast heartbeat, or e­ven get seizure­s. It is important to stay calm and tell your doctor right away. The doctor will help you know what to do ne­xt to stay safe and healthy.
