Divalgress 500 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 40 years old from Kolkata

I am suffering from dore and choked throat since friday evening, 25.1.19. I have been doing gargles with lukewarm water mixed with disprin 3 to 4 times a day. I am constantly saving myself from cold by covering myself from head to toe in warm clothes. Using home remedies like drinking lukewarm water mixed with honey. But problem still persists though little better. Greenish cough comes out occasionally. My Dr. Has prescribed coldaid 500 mg thrice daily. I am already under medication for bipolar disorder (medicines include lamitor od 150, dicorate 500 mg in eve, dicorate 250 mg in mng). I am also undergoing treatment for hiatus hernia, ibs. Medicines include colospa x, ib set, pan it. I have read online that coldaid 500 may interfere with aforesaid medications. Please advise whether it's safe to take coldaid 500 mg or not. If yes, how long should I take it for my sore and choked throat? If not, which alternative medicine should I take, taking into account my ongoing medications?

Dear lybrate-user,
quetiapine is a weak antipsychotic. Along with dicorate it will stabilise the mood better for future episodes. Trazine s is a more powerful antipsychotic. Usually it starts working early. You can increase to 3 times a day too. But there are other powerful antipsychotics like risperidone and olanzapine - they act better and faster. Please discuss these with your doctor. If aggression is a problem, please admit him. Either injectable antipsychotic or ect will be added.

Developed signs of early morning wakening with a feeling of heavy heart in 2014. Ignored for a year or so. Then the problem started worsening with more heavy heart with loud pounding beats very early in the morning. Then I failed depressed or sad/ worried during day time also at times. Consulted a psychiatrist in 4/2014 who prescribed cipralex. After 4 months he added lamitor 100. Felt some improvement gor 3/4 months and stopped cipralex of my own. The state of depression recurred back and went on to lamitor 200 but no improvement. In november 2017 consulted another psychiatrist who changed the medicine and prescribed paroxetine12. 5, divalproex 250 and mirtazapine15. Felt improvement after few days. Stopped divalproex after 3 months. Then tapered paroxetine and finally stopped in april 2018. I was feeling good now. But unfortunately the condition hit back in early august this year. Now I have started paroxetine 12.5 with clonazepam .5 and continued mirtazapine15. Though I have again felt some relief but I always wake up with heavy heart and worried. During day time also I get sad or anxious at times. please suggest. Further I have elevated Triglyceride level about 500 which I heard is due to mirtazapine. Is there any alternative for that. I am also hypertensive taking amlodipine5 from last 6 years.

Foamy urine can be due to several reasons e.g infections, kidney problems, etc. It would be good if you get investigated further before we decide it is of no major concern.

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
