Etilaam Ds 1Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for female, 31 years old from Kota

I think I have a bipolar disorder, one doctor confirmed, one said may be mild chances, many said ocd, anxiety,secondary depression. I am very worried about a wrong diagnosis, I have been prescribed fluoxetine 40 mg, 2.5 mg olanzapine and 0.5 mg etilaam in the name of ocd. Will this help me incase I have bipolar. I think etilaam should be excluded and also the doctor will do the tapering assuming I have ocd and depression. Shown to a lot of doctors. Some have recommended fluvoxamine with olanzapine or etilaam. Need time to finalize the doctor. Kindly throw light on safe bipolar medication even if mis or undiagnosed. Also 3 years back had ocevox50, olizmd,ezolent plus and oximed which worked fine, I left it on my own after a year's time. I have racing thoughts, no emotional fluidity, slowed brain and speech, difficulty in constructing ideas or arranging thoughts in mind, each one ruled out schizophrenia, I am impulsive, keep changing topics, I argue and I am talkative.

Please consult with one psychiatrist with all the prescriptions of previous doctors. If you can, take one family member who has ob...more

Dear Sir, there are around 20 or more antidepressants available. Ssris is one commonly used class of antidepressants. If you are having problems with prothiaden and etizola, please discuss alternative medications with your consulting doctor. He or she can guide you best depending on your symptoms and multiple other factors.
Hope this helps.

Dear lybrate-user, welcome to lybrate. Drug induced anxiety disorder treatment consists of cognitive behavioral therapy, life style changes, relaxation therapy and meditation. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety yourself with the help of the above treatment methods, you will be cured and you can stop the medicines if any. The process could take some time according to the depth of the problem and the circumstances at which the patient lives. Take care.

There is no quick fix for anxiety.
You must immediately seek help from a counselor. Before it gets out of control and difficult to deal with seek help earlier, especially about this fear. If the fear is of recent origin, you could perhaps identify it and deal with it. But if it is from a long past, then much work has to be done to sort that out. Since you are on medication please cooperate with both the therapies to get the best results. Sometimes this kind of nervousness could be genetic t...more
