Be hopeful, you will be alright. Regarding the strange sensation in the brain, please check with your psychiatrist.

it is per day dosage, so you can take it at any time and these medications act on the neurotransmitters in the brain over a period of time and not immediately. Immediate action might be some sedation, but the benefits are seen over a period of time. So no harm taking with 1-2 hour difference. All the best.

For your psychological issues, please contact a psychotherapist or counsellor in your area and seek immediate help. You may also need to take psychiatric drugs for sometime, for which you would need to consult a qualified psychiatrist.

Take a professional counselling or psychologist help to openly discuss about your thoughts and emotions which could be the root cause behind your anxiety and depression. Th...more
