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.

Dear, bipolar disorder needs to be managed properly. In fact, almost all psychiatric medicines manage mental illness. You need to take it positive and learn to live life with satisfaction. Work hard, play games, entertainy ourself, enjoy life etc. These are the steps necessary to manage your bipolar. If you worry more, the conditions worsens. Sweating of palms and feet are due to anxiety and other allied causes. God bless you. Take care.

Most of medical challanges need doctor to listen to detailed medical history in form of questions and answers, examination of patient and sometimes reports so meet concerned doctor.- Neurologist. Tell him/her whatever you face but never change drug or dosage without consulting neurologist.

Its been a long time in depression for you and I am almost sure that you have not done any therapy in tandem with the medication. This is something highly recommended. Medication has its merits but it is a chemical way of dealing with the depression and would have had a lot of impact if it was supported by counseling too. I believe there may be some genetic predisposition or there has been some childhood issue, related to anger, that needs urgent attention. You must go and meet with a counselor ...more
