Asked for female, 61 years old from Kolkata

My mother, 62 years of age has been suffering from dementia and depression since 2016. She was prescribed dveniz, daxid for depression and admenta (bds), aricep (ods) for dementia since september, 2016. The disease has progressed albeit slowly. But there had been behavioral changes specially repetitive behaviour, frequent fits of aggression etc. Because of the increased aggressive tendencies, her doctor asked to stop antidepressants in january 2020. aggressive behavior dwindled down after that. However it increased a bit since december 2020. Due to unavailability of the previous psychiatrist we had to consult a separate psychiatrist in february, 2021. He started a new drug, olanzapine 2.5 (ods). My mother started taking the drug since february 10th. However she started getting quite drowsy from the middle of march. So we had to visit the doctor on march 26th. He asked to stop olanzapine 2.5 and continue with aricep and admenta. She was more or less fine till last tuesday, 6th april. But suddenly from 7th april there was a total change in everything. It's almost like she's spellbound! totally lost and not being able to do basic daily activities. It's almost like her brain has been switched off. She's walking slowly, not being able to eat/ drink on her own. And since yesterday she's having trouble using the toilet too. Not being able to pass urine or stools. Is this because of the drug olanzapine? If so, then can some other drug be used to negate these side effects of olanzapine?

It is sad to convey but symptoms you suggested are of disease progression and not because of side effects of on going medications.

Your psychiatrist would have changed for a reason, you do not meddle with that. Discuss with him/ her, they find the way out.

My dad been treated with alcoholism and depression since last one year. he was taking Stablon 12.5,baclofen 10 ,amizep h 12.5, three times and stresnil 0.5 at night. He was good after 3 months. He was reading books. But most of the time he liked sitting and walking. He developed swelling in legs. He started to complain about pain in hands and legs. Also used to say his mind is not working well. After 6 more months he started reducing his daily doses thinking it may help. I ensured he takes at least 2 weeks to reduce any dose. Then after 2 more months he was confused. Standing for hour or sitting in washroom for hour. Wanted to go outside in midnight. Even if he just came from outside he will again like to go outside. We admitted him to psychiatrist, he was given Etizola plus 5, deven la 50 mg, baclofen 20 mg extended release, monotop 50 mg, genecephal trio in morning and excite plus, desvenlafaxine 100 mg, oliza 5, monotop 50 and felicita tab in night. after 3 months he improved in terms of going out. He go out look around himself and come back. And told us there is no one around him now. When asked he told he was seeing 5 ghost like faces earlier. Before this treatment he used to walk very fast like flying. But after this treatment he got slow. After few more days he again started to go outside. So now we went to a neurologist. He prescribed risperidone 2 mg, trihexyphenidyl 2 mg, lorazepam 2 mg, citicoline 500 mg. It really helped him. He was calm now. He started to respond faster than earlier. Memory improved. But issues still not fixed are - 1. He walk and sit like statue, not able to lift legs too much above ground. And walk straight. 2. Less control while walking specially while coming down from stairs. 3.will fall while sitting on ground and standing from ground. 4. Teary eyes as he don't blink eyes much. 5.face looks swelled. 6. Remember many things accurately but don't remember many things like his birthday. However he may remember something now but may forget when asked after few days. 7. Response is better but still slow when asked something.

Hi, I would suggest you to meet the neurologist and ask about the side effects of these medicines.
Secondly if the neurologist permits then take help of a physiotherapist. Thirdly give him some memory booster activities like puzzle book or show him many different things for one minute then hide those things. Now tell him to write the name of those things. Take him to some social club.
The side effects of medicines might have affected his memory and gait. please do not reduce and medicine...more

I am a 41 year old woman. I have suffered from generalized anxiety for years, treated with desvenlafaxine 50 mg/day and clonazepam 1 mg/day, very well managed and without panic attacks for years. A year ago, shortly after having cavity, I started having a lot of fatigue. At the end of december 2022, the fatigue was disabling and I began to have paresthesia, a lot of pain, brain fog, and hyperacusis. I had many tests done and finally in february I was diagnosed with post viral chronic fatigue syndrome due to epstein barr or covid and was treated with modafinil 400 mg/day, magnesium 400 mg/day and vitamin d3. Two weeks ago I saw a new neurologist and told him that I was in a lot of pain. He put me on lyrica-pregabalin (i'm on 50 mg/day now but need to increase to 75 mg tomorrow) and 20 mg transdemic buprenorphine patches for a month, a treatment he often prescribes for fibromyalgia pain. He told me to take this new medication without removing any drugs that I was already taking. Everything was going well until 5 days ago I started feeling weird. I have been sleeping very badly for 2 days and I am very worried. I have a hard time falling asleep and in the end I sleep like 4 hours a day waking up a thousand times during the night. Today I looked at the graphs of the apple watch during sleep and I have dropped from an average of 13. 7rpm (breaths per minute) two weeks ago to 9.8rpm now. Tonight I hit 8rpm and 91% saturation. I have never had such low data until I started this medication. Now I read that transdermal buprenorphine can cause serious breathing problems especially if taken with benzodiazepines and lyrica. The doctor says that he sees no problem in the data but if the patches don't help my pain, I can stop them. They help me a lot with the pain, but I am afraid of the side effects. In addition to the issue of sleep, it gave me great difficulty urinating and swallowing. What do you think? Should I suspend the patches?

Hi.
I would suggest you visit your physician and check on the drug interactions. Pain killers and anti-anxiety pills can be addictive and you may develop tolerance. Additionally, you can experience deleterious side-effects. As mentioned earlier, psychotherapy can be helpful. The side effects you are experiencing can be worsened by an underlying disorder. For example, pain, sleep problems, fatigue, brain fog etc. Can signal anxiety. Emdr is known to be helpful for pain management and intense ...more

Many a times for anxiety disorder, you need to take long term medications. So kindly consult your psychiatrist regularly and take them as advised. Newer desvenlafaxine has come, which controls anxiety better then plain venlafaxine. Discuss with your psychiatrist. All the best.

Sir/madam I am 28 years old female, for all small things I used to get tensed alot. For years small small symptoms were shown by my body tat something is wrong due to my tension. But in oct 2015 I got so tensed for one family problem. And felt like a lump feeling in my throat and felt lik I can not breath, so went to pulmonologist, he gave me medicines thinking its wheezing. So after 2 days of taking medicines, 1 night at 12 (immediately after menstruation started) my brain and heart both showed worst symptoms and I thought I had heart attack or something and said to my parents that something is gonna happen to me. Thy convinced tat nothing wrong and made me sleep, after getting up in the morning I had d same symptoms, I immediately rushed to cardiologist and took ecg, he said am perfectly alright and said that I suffered from severe anxiety and asked me to drink some cool milk, after many months lump feeling gone, but after tat started to get severe dizziness. And again went to cardiologist, he asked me to consult psychiatrist, so I went to psychiatrist thinking tat since no problem with my heart, I have brain tumor or something. She saw me and said nothing wrong with my body, but I was unable to believe it, she said I have severe anxiety and depression. And prescribed nexito plus and lonazep for one month. I took it and felt good, but immediately after a month I had bad brain zaps (electric jolt lik feeling), so again went to her. Now (dec 2015) she prescribed duleza 20 and d-venizz 50, but I did not take those medicines seeing bad reviews about withdrawal symptoms in net. So without taking those 2 medicines Controlled brain zaps, and I was ok (with minimal symptoms) for few months, but in april 2016 I had earlier symptoms and it was too worst. So again went to the doctor, but while going me and my dad had bike accident and got hurt very badly. So I could not go to the doctor. And returned home. Now (may 2016) I am having all the symptoms (feel like going mad, like about to fall, can not stand at all, so many strange feelings in brain, heart pounding, lik about to get fits, hands legs twitching, right eye swelling after every sleep, and while trying to sleep, feel lik earth is pulling me down->> al these symptoms gets worse after each menstruation) but if isay to my parents about it, no one listening and they are shouting tat am ok and wantedly saying all these. But thy can not understand wat bad is going on inside my body. And my weight is reduced (50 to 48). I am really confused bcos right now I am unable to go to psychiatrist and I want to know can I take those 2 medicines (which I did not take it earlier when doctor prescribed) now-> (duzela 20 and d-veniz 50). Pls help me, daily its like hell. I can not bear at all.!
