These are the side effects of both the medicines your mother is taking. It should normalize in a few weeks, but it is better to consult your doctor who prescribed these for the side effects to understand the extent of the same. In the meantime can you kindly specify if your mother's condition is severe or she is able to manage her day well and cope with her condition too? Is she also going through counseling to increase and acknowledge her self-awareness around her bipolar condition? What are th...more

I am male 46 years old suffering from major depressive since last 22 years. The first episode was very very severe with severe numbness and sleepy throughout the day, complete impairment in memory, thinking n thought processing tried different kinds of depression medications flunil 40, sertraline,veniz 40 etc, even though flunil helped me to some extent but my psychosomatic symptoms like body pains constant fatigue never gone away and also memory impairment n executive n thought processing capabilities not improved much even after medication for 22 years. Cognition n memory impairment was my biggest problem. One year back lamictal 200 introduced along with antidepressant lamictal helped me to a great deal in restoring my subnormal n below baselevel depressive mood lifted to certain extent far better than antidepressant alone. My main concern now is improvement in mood to further extent by using another suitable mood stabilizer along with lamictal n my grave concern of cognition and memory improvement which never returned back .I used to be with excellent n sharp memory and was topper through out my studies until this depression episode occurred. Please suggest add on medication for moodlift and memory problems.

Hello
I can understand the problem you are facing from such a long time. 22 year of long illness without recovery even when you are compliant with medication. What I suggest is to rule out other possibility causing depression such as thyroid or having bipolar mood disorder. Sometimes we miss out hypomania episode as depression covers it. A mood chart will benefit you in that. Adding a mood stabilizer like lithium will cover your bipolar illness and augment your antidepressant treatment as we...more

I have been suffering from ocd, depression and insomnia since when I was 8 or 10 years old. I am taking treatment for it since 8 years after consulting with psychiatrist. Since last 1 year I am taking fluoxetine and zolpidem 10. I tried many medication but not helped for ocd and after taking fluoxetine 40 mg obsessive thought and compulsive behaviour which was so debialating is almost recover, you can say 99%. But insomnia is not going to heal. Whenever I took zolpidem that night only I could sleep. And I felt high when I use to take zolpidem and use to take 2 to 3 tablet instead of 1. So, I was worried that I got addicted to it and switched to new e-consultation doctor from docsapp. She was psychiatrist and ahe had mbbs and md degree. She prescribed me fluoxetine 40 and clonazepam 0.25 mg at morning and lamotrigine od 50, clonazepam 1 mg and mirtazapine 15 mg at night. Now my sleeping problem is resolved. Is this right treatment? Can I trust doctor from internet of docaspp? She added lamotrigine od 50 mg because I told her that only night time after reaching home from duty I feel very depressed so she told me that it is mood fluctuating anf lamotrigine will help. Should I trust her because she is from docsapp and I had not saw her face to face. Please help.

I would like to know more about your diagnosis and how long you are on these medications. I would also like to give you information on quetiapine which is an antipsychotic and it also has antidepressant properties. You have to take medications that are agreeable to you with minimal side effects. So it's better to minimise the number of medications taken in the same group (eg to avoid combing 2 antipsychotics or 2 antidepressants). You will benefit from a review of medications after knowing the f...more

Hello-
use of ssris in bipolar patient is common but it comes with a price. Common side effects in men include decreased libido and difficulty getting an erection. Some men have trouble maintaining an erection. Men taking antidepressants also report delayed or blocked orgasm. Fortunately, ayurveda has an answer to that.
