I just quit smoking weed 3 days ago. Also just got prescribed venlafaxine for my anxiety. How long should i wait to start taking them?

Female | 20

The period of 7 days should pass after you have quit smoking weed. There should be a week's break between the two treatment regimens. Make sure to stay patient and let your body adapt to the medications.

Good morning I'm Adele I'm 44 female I suffer from depression exssiety nervous all the time I don't sleep I'm going through a divorce and have all the time megrains my sister gave me too stilpain and it helped can dr help me please

Female | 44

Being nervous and not being able to sleep are usual symptoms of stress among other things like migraines especially after a divorce. By the way, Stilpain should help ease the pain but it would be better if you could see a psychiatrist soon to discuss everything with them. They may be able to give some advice on how best to deal with such situations.

Hello doctor, recently I have been facing issues like suicidal thoughts, hopelessness. I want to know if I am depressed

Female | 18

It's important to know that experiencing feelings of despair and sadness can indicate a depressive state. Common signs include persistent low energy, a lack of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty concentrating. These feelings can arise from various factors, including stress, life changes, or chemical imbalances in the brain. I encourage you to seek support from a psychiatrist who can assess your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment options, which may include therapy or medication.

I smoked a lot of thc oil daily many times and I’m wondering how long it will stay in my urine

Male | 23

Marijuana high stuff called THC that brings about a high mood can stick in your urine for a while. If you have smoked a lot of THC oil, it could have stuck in your urine for up to 30 days. The symptoms can vary but may include problems with memory, thinking, and mood. The solution is to run those with THC out of the system and help with some water intake to get flushed out.

I accidentally took too many Flexeril tablets last year. I got inside the car and fell asleep while parking. I found the parking spot, proceeded to put the car in park and fell asleep. I awoke to the sound of a lady's voice asking me was I ok. Since, I've felt really foggy and away from life. Less warmth and color to life, I think it has affected an area of my brain. I have since been worried about the overdose, did I actually die and awake or did I just fall asleep. Due to a lack of insurance, I haven't been able to see a doctor. I'm curious if it causes death or just asleep. Also, I've never fallen asleep easily, not even while driving, if tired.

Male | 25

It's understandable to feel concerned after experiencing an episode like this. Flexeril, a muscle relaxant, can cause drowsiness and cognitive clouding, especially in higher doses. Symptoms such as feeling foggy or disconnected can occur, but are often temporary. It's unlikely that you experienced death; more likely, you were deeply relaxed or asleep. I encourage you to seek medical advice, as a psychiatrist can assess your symptoms and provide appropriate support. If insurance is an issue, look for community clinics that offer low-cost services.

Male | 35

It's important to understand that schizophrenia is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment. If you're experiencing excessive sexual desire, it may be a side effect of your medications or related to the condition itself. I strongly advise you to consult a psychiatrist who can adjust your treatment plan or provide guidance on managing these symptoms effectively.

Male | 40

Symptoms of schizophrenia include hearing voices, paranoia, as well as seeing or feeling things that others do not see. In reality, these symptoms return when you are not on your medication, so it is crucial to talk with your healthcare provider about restarting your medication. Your psychiatrist can teach you ways to cope with the symptoms and suggest the natural ways to make you feel better.

I am 24 years male 6ft 64kg I have long term chronic constitution Weight loss depression anxiety and nervousness

Male | 24

Based on what you’ve said, your weight loss, sadness, tenseness, and nervousness could be symptoms of chronic stress. When we experience stress for a long time, it affects our minds and our body. You should try to take it easy and find some ways to cope with stress — for example, deep breathing exercises, confiding in a friend, or doing something fun. If things don’t get better, think about talking to a psychiatrist or counselor.

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under antidepressants medications which include epilepsy medication also

Female | 22

Levonorgestrel is generally a reliable emergency contraceptive pill, but there are certain medications, for example, drugs used to treat epilepsy or depression, which might make its effect weaker. These interactions may also be the cause of the contraception not working properly. It’s crucial to spot any discomfort you have during this period including the unexpected bleeding or the menstrual changes and you have to monitor the situation. I recommend that you discuss the medications that you are using with a healthcare provider.

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.

can i take propranolol before parachuting

Male | 24

If you take propranolol before skydiving, that might not be safe. Before such a high-energy activity the drug may slow down your pulse and lower blood pressure, which is risky. During acute stress situations such as this one it is necessary for the heart to beat fast so as to supply enough oxygen into the muscles thus enabling them carry out their functions effectively.

Unhone kal sham ko sharab pi thi jisse abhi Tak Nasha nhi utra hai and unki tabiyat kharab ho gayi hai sar me dard kush kha pi bhi nhi rahe jhagda bhi hua hai

Male | 42

Aapki tabiyat kharab hone ki wajah se aapko sar dard aur nasha mehsoos ho raha hai, jitne pehle sharab pi thi. Yeh symptoms dehydration ya hangover ki wajah se ho sakte hain. Aapko paani ya electrolyte drinks pee lene chahiye, jo aapko hydration aur relief provide karenge. Agar dard ya takleef zyada ho, toh over-the-counter pain relievers jaise paracetamol le sakte hain. Lekin agar aapki symptoms behtar nahi hote, toh kisi psychiatrist se milna behtar rahega.

How to cure Porn addiction

Male | 17

Hi, It’s brave of you to acknowledge this concern and seek help—taking the first step is always the hardest. Breaking free from a habit like porn requires a combination of self-awareness, discipline, and support. Here are some steps that might help: 1. Understand Your Triggers: Pay attention to when and why you feel the urge to watch porn. Is it boredom, stress, or something else? Knowing this can help you address the root cause. 2. Set Clear Goals: Decide why you want to reduce or stop watching porn. A strong reason can keep you motivated during tough times. 3. Replace the Habit: Find healthier activities to engage in when the urge strikes—exercise, hobbies, or spending time with family and friends can be great distractions. 4. Limit Access: Use apps or tools to block adult content on your devices. Reducing temptation can make it easier to stay on track. 5. Seek Support: If this feels like a significant struggle, talking to a trusted adult, mentor, or therapist can provide guidance and tools to help you manage your habits. Remember, this is a process, and setbacks might happen. Be patient with yourself and keep moving forward. You’ve got this!
