Even small amounts of crystal meth can have severe health consequences, including heart attack, stroke, and seizures. Furthermore, it's important to note that crystal meth is illegal, and its usage, possession or distributi...more

The medications that have been prescribed by the doctor / psychiatrist for your son are fine. Some people react differently to different medications and you might want to continue giving the medications if there are no serious side effects. The good effects of the medications take about 20-30 days for them to show up and I believe that you will be able to get over the bad effects once you start focusing on the good effects the medication is having. I also think that you should start to not read ...more

Taking the psychiatric medications for two days will not have lasting effects on how your condition reacts. The fact that you were not made aware of the side effects or told that you might need to tolerate some adverse effects for a couple of days before things start looking up is the problem with the medications. I believe that your anxiety has many causes and that your problems are related to your not wanting to get treated for your problems with medications and your anxiety just rises if they...more

Dear Lybrate user
we would recommend you discuss the same with the psychiatrist. Psychiatrists can help in identifying whether to increase the dose or decrease it. Along with it, you have to make some lifestyle changes as well like adopting a physical exercise routine - gyming, yoga, cycling, etc. Consult a dietician for a healthy diet routine like avoiding too much sugar and carbs. Additionally to all these, you may try analyzing how this condition is affecting your life - relationship, wor...more
