Accept that it is going to be difficult and you will not come out of it in an overnight - depression & anxiety are very poorly researched areas in the field of medicine. There is no definitive cure to this illness. Apart from that, depression is under-estimated. You will usually find people telling you to "not be depressed" or "ease down a bit" or "stay happy" when in reality it is very difficult, or rather, impossible to "not be depressed" or "to ease down" or "be happy" there is a very little ...more

Ibs is an anxiety based psychosomatic disorder. If you are able to keep your anxiety and stress within control, you can witness a great relief to your ibs problem. Medicines do help you to control the effect of your problems and also help you to maintain your functional abilities to some extent. But if you want real relief your should attack the core cause of your illnesses which can be due personality factors, thinking patterns, habitual mal-adaptive behavior, irrational belief systems or even ...more

Doubt and reassurances is such a debilitating that this is my 500th query on my illness on Lybrate .i am 50% improved by clomipramine as far as my ocd is concerned but as I have predominant obsession so it is very hard to get 100% result .but the worst part is that I am very unproductive, I don't bath, I do not brush for months .some well known psychiatrist says it is depression ,some says it is negative schizophrenia .i do not know who is right and doubt is still there so today I am again asking this question .my mother is schizophrenic but I don't have any classic delusion and hallucinations .i want to bath but I don't know why I can't, I just think rather execute the task .i have tried escitalopram ,fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, sertraline, desvenlafaxine with max dose for max time & I have also tried lowest dose of rpn, oleanz, qutipin, aripiprazole, amisulpride. Clomipramine is the only drug which is helping me 50% for my ocd .but what about the productivity? What is next step? please guide me!

Dear Lybrate user
if there are no hallucinations and delusions then it won't be considered as schizophrenia. As I have told you in other question your issues requires psychotherapy coupled with clinical hypnotherapy and nlp. This will for sure give you significant results in less time. I have had such clients where the diagnosis was not proper and patients were having mixed symptoms plus anxiety. Consult a good psychotherapist cum clinical hypnotherapist or contact me for the same. Good luck...more

Here are some points to consider based on the information you've shared:
medication side effects and interactions: it's clear that you've experienced a range of side effects from different medications. This is not uncom...more

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
