Asked for female, 28 years old from Nashik

I am 28 years old female and I have anxiety since childhood. I took paxidep for three months and it cured my anxiety for while. I used to take paxidep and modalert which was quite good. But then I was diagnosed with pcod and stopped taking paxidep as I was fully focusing on my pcod. Now after five months, I started to get anxious again. I started taking pramipex 0.125 tablet along with paxidep 12.5 and modalert and cobadex for anxiety and vitamins. It has been one week I have started these medicines again along with pramipex. But I am feeling to weak, sleepy and energy less all the time. So my questions are 1. Should I stop taking pramipex or should I take it at night. 2. Does paxidep make you gain weight? My psychiatrist said no, it will not. I need to maintain my weight due to pcod.

Asked for Male, 33 years old from Bangalore

I have being diagnosed with adhd used to take inspiral 10 mg 3 times, but later due cost of frequent visit to phycatrisit for refill and anxiety issues I stopped taking. Now since I am writing few professional exams again I'm unable to focus well, I used to take modalert before inspiral it was cost effective but not as good as inspiral. Now considering cost and dosage requirements, can switch to modalert. Ps. I lost my job in between when I stopped due inattentiveness. Joined a new place which understand my rhythm of work.

Modalert as you yourself have told is not as effective as inspired for ADHD. The drug inspiral is highly regulated and can not be got without prescription. So kindly consult any psychiatrist at least once in 2-3 months and get your prescription re-filled. All the best.

Health Query

Hello I had been going through a lot from past two years, I do not know whats wrong but I had sudden palpitations, the first thing when I wake up is in a state of panic and anxiety. I have to rush to bathroom to defecate, I consulted a doctor and he suggested me its chemical imbalance and he put me on serta 50 & nexito forte twice daily, added nortriptyline 25 mg once daily, then added modalert 200 to keep me awake during the day, its crazy I am 30, I have two kids and a job, I had not been myself since taking these medications and its not improved, I sulked in and now I have fear resting deep in me regarding losing my job, death what will happen after death, will I have a heart attack or cancer or I do not know. When I see someone casually my first thought without me thinking is about his death, how will his family respond to loss of a near one. If its depression, health anxiety, panic attacks, stress or any other mental disorder it should had been improved by now. I smoke from a long time and its not so easy to quit every time I visit I am asked to quit smoking, but will that change my condition. Is there anyone out there who could offer me a helping hand not as a doctor but as friend someone who really cares that I am the bread earner for my family. I do not want to take these medications forever and ever, live with a confused, dizzy state of mind and weight gain affecting my work life balance. I am on sertraline 50 twice a day escitalopram 20 mg & clonazepam 1 mg - twice a day nortriptyline - 25 mg once day flupentixol - once a day zolfresh 10 - once daily. Modafinil -200 mg once daily.

Treatment for depression usually continues for 6-12 months depending on intensity or symptoms and recurrence. For OCD and anxiety, it is different for each individual. Please start on psychotherapy also for your symptoms. The best results are seen with a combination of medicines and psychotherapy.
