Amidep 25 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 59 years old from Bangalore

I am 57 years old, male, with mixed depression-anxiety and Schizophrenia. For depression-anxiety, I am told to take Venlaxaine 150 mg 1-0-0, Imipramine 25 mg 1-0-0 and mirtazapine 15 mg 0-0-1. There is a lot of relief. For Schizophrenia, I am on Amisulpride 200 mg 0-0-1 and Respidon 1 mg 0-0-1. There is relief. The problem now is excessive sweating even in this chill weather in Bangalore. There is no chest pain or chest heaviness and BP is normal (120/80). There is no weakness also. Is this problem due to the drugs, I am taking or due to something else (heart problem)? Also, I am asthmatic and diabetic. My asthma is under control by Serobid and Budecort inhalers. I am on glyciphage 500 mg 1-0-1 for diabetes. What would be likely problem. Please advice.

It's tough to say whether it's due to drugs, but you better stop imipramine and see for two to four weeks, let me know if this helps.

Hi, I am 50 years of age. I am Software Architect. 12 years back I was prescribed Imipramine HCL75 mg from AIIMS. Then, I was taking Dothiepin 75 mg for last 10 years which was affecting my alertness and cognitive abilities (Memory, Concentration, processing speed ) and thereby hampering my professional life. A Psychiatrist prescribed Escitalopram 10 mg tapering off Prothiedine. I feel moderate pain (as in inflammation) all over my head due to which I can do a little work and feeling loss of interest in work and anything and feel less sexual sensation which were intense prior to this medication.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. From that it is clear that she needs a detailed examination and may be needs the help of diabetologist as well as neurologist. So such a case can not be managed by online consultation. A detailed examination plus certain specific investigations are required. So please go to a good reputed institution where all the specialists are available. Thanks.

Hi there ~ the use of benzodiazepines itself and more so the use of a combination of benzodiazepines that are both short and long acting and the fact that you are on as needed doses of these medications indicates that you are at a high risk for benzodiazepine dependence.

Mr. Lybrate-user, as a lady nears menopause certain psychological disturbances do occur. But these are temporary. Excessive sweating known as" hot flushes" is quite common during this period. This may remain till menopause is attained or even longer in some women. These are usually minor problems, need not lead to any serious psychiatric issues. As regards her tumor in uterus you may take a second opinion from another gynecologist. But her hemoglobin which is low needs to be treated with hematin...more

Asked for male, 28 years old from Thane

I'm on antidepressants for the past 15 years. Though the symptoms of depression were under control for all these years it again relapsed around 6-7 months back. I am currently prescribed depsonil pm 75 mg at night and at morning along with spectra 10 mg in morning and olimelt 7.5 mg and paralysis 25 mg at night. It has been 3 weeks i'm on these medications. Many medications were tried on me but nothing worked until these medications have started getting my depression symptoms down. I get panic attacks very often and these panic attacks have also led to agoraphobia. My diagnosis is mdd and anxiety disorder. I do have previous case history of mdd. I'm trying to cope up but still that depression feeling is there especially while getting up in the morning resulting in extra sleep and missing my work. Would like to know how long does these medications take to work as my doctor suggested it could take around 6 weeks for the medication to take complete effect. Also are these the medication that I will need to take throughout my life?

Dear ,
this is a common problem in children of both sexes. It could be that he has some defect in lumber spine like spina bifida or some adhesions. In majority of cases no organic defect is found either in vertebral column or spinal cord.
In most cases there is psychological problem or faulty habit. To decide what it is one wants to know about history like
1 did he have any dry nights at any stage of his life or from early childhood bedwetting continued?
2. When did it start?

I am 42 years old male with no genetic diabetes history. Recently after blood testing found fasting sugar 139 mg/dL and cholesterol (HDL 25, LDL 167 and Triglyceride 355 ). I am doing 4 test in a day with help of gluco check meter. I am finding lots of variation. From day 1 to day 5 - fasting sugar varies from 115 to 160. Whereas after food 2 hrs varies from 95 to 190. I used to drink less water about 500 ml per day and now trying drink 2 to 3ltrs per day. Also to add above I was consuming anti depression medicines depsonil 25 mg x1 and nexito 10 mg x2 once a day for more than year. For last 2 years I have stopped taking those. During those medicine time I use to feel very hungry in morning where I use to eat 8-9 roti's.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Doing excessive testing is not going to change anything, except getting more pricks. Just do a fasting, PP (2 hrs after food) & HbA1c% or if you want to be doubly sure get an Oral Gllucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) with 75 g of glucose. That will give a clear idea plus HbA1c%. Following are the criteria for diagnosing diabetes: FBG >126 mg and above, PP > 200 mg and above & HbA1c% >6.5%. If these criteria are met then there is diabetes. Which will then req...more

Asked for Female, 30 years old from Bangalore Rural

Hi, My Son is 2.8 years old and does not talk much. He says almost 2 words only once when it is really needed else it is all gestures. He says only few words and when he is in good mood, he talks but in his language. Whenever we try to make him say what we are saying, he does not imitate the same. He does all the work we give him. He humms rhymes after going to Pre school. I am really worried and depressed thinking about my son. I have completed his early intervention therapy, occupational therapy and now his speech therapy is going on, but he is very shy and does not talk in front of the therapist, but while leaving he happily says bye too her. Please advise.
