I am 15 year old boy. I am suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Actually 2 years before my exam was going to held and I was in my study room planning to learn the sylabbus but suddenly a thought came that what will happen if I fail in the exam. I hadn't learned the sylabbus, there was only 5 days left for exam. So I was so much anxious and frightened. Actually I was feeling severe anxiety that day. Such type of severe anxiety I hadn't experienced before. Anxiety was so much much high. After severe anxiety my appetite lost, I got fever and I couldn't sleep at night. Days were passing and my condition was getting worse. From that day I feel severe anxiety and fear on a regular basis. I lost my happiness totally. I was struggling hard to be in normal state since I was feeling severe anxiety. After 1.4 year I consult a neuropsychiatric and he prescribed me flunil ip - 40 (fluoxetine) and risdone mt 0.5 (risperidone) and after that I feel a bit relief but not completely. However,i feel anxiety regularly and panic attacks. Please suggest me the treatment. Should I have take any therapy like cbt or psychotherapy to get rid of this problem completely. I don't feel happiness. My mental health condition is not good. Please help me doctor.

Yes, you are right. You need cbt therapy to manage your intrusive negative thoughts which are the cause of your anxiety. I have treated many clients with this approach.

Yes you can combine cbt with medications, the improvement will be much better. Try it, but go for proper cbt specialist, as many do not now what cbt is and claim they can do and start giving advices, which is not cbt.

Thanks a lot to all doctors for their precious advice. Doctors are really god. Thanks a million. Now I have started fluoxetine fludac 20 mg. No side effects. Today is 3rd day, I am taking fluoxetine and no side effects. One more thing I want to share that I have been suffering of scalp psoriasis as well from last 3 years. First I got ocd and after 2 years I got scalp psoriasis. For psoriasis I met with so many skin specialist doctors and took so many medicines but no positive effect on my psoriasis. Sorvate c is a good ointment but it works for 3- 4 days after that again same problem. It's really very frustrating. God knows when I will get permanent cure of psoriasis. For ocd I am taking fluoxetine fludac 20 mg, from last 2 days. For psoriasis can I get some advice please?

Also with this medication can listening to loud music for long time of any harm (As I used to do that before)?

Hi, along with medication you can always listen music. But excess of everything is bad whether it is a good thing like music .

Loud music for long time will not only harm your peace of mind but also your ear drums too.

I would suggest you to take your medicine at a particular time. Also Go to sleep and wake up strictly at a particular time. Use alarm clock or take someone's help in waking you up and leave your bed strictly at a particular time irrespective of your sleep. It w...more

Hi, I am using flunil 20 mg on alternate days as my doctor suggested this for obsessions. I am using this Medication from the past 2 years. My question is does this medicine decreases the brain running function that may leads to memory loss? My age is 26.

Dr. Saranya Devanathan93%(3842 ratings)

MBBS, DPM

Psychiatrist•Bangalore

Dear Hari,
Flunil 20 mg cannot cause brain running problem nor memory loss. On the other hand depression can cause memory loss and slowness of all functions. Flunil is prescribed to treat depression. Since 2 years, are you taking only 20 mg? When did you see your doctor last? Please see her/him again, she/he may increase the dose or add another tablet or therapy to treat you better.
