Zolpidem and clonazepam are not to be taken for long. Olimelt as you say can cause weight gain. There are ways to counter this or alternates which give sleep on long run without causing harm. Consult a psychiatrist and seek remedy. Good luck.

Yes, she has serious condition and will be on medication for a long time. But she should go for therapy sessions too. You have not mentioned her age and that could be significant to her recovery too: the younger she is, the better the prognosis. There may be some genetic factors too. She should be made to cooperate because she may not realize and tend to act out and become uncooperative in therapy. In therapy she will learn a lot of skills, tools and techniques to cope with her condition. Any wa...more

Both pexep ie paroxetine and serta ie sertraline are both ssri and are usually not combined together. So consult your psychiatrist and get an ideal combination for your fear and anxiety related to covid. This has become very common these days and you will recover soon. Good luck.

Hi, 65 years old aunty was taking olimelt tablet (as per psychiatric doctor advise) from march for auditory hallucinations problem. She was ok, but since she started having light stomach pain sometimes, she was thinking that its due to allopathy tablet and she wanted to change that. As per homeopathy doctor advise, from november first week, she is taking homeopathy tablets daily and taking olimelt once in 2 days. For 2 weeks no issue. But since yesterday, she seems to be having sleeping disturbances, not sure if she is hearing anything because she is not revealing, but she is disturbed slightly. Please advise if she can continue the homeo doctor approach for some more days and see if any improvement? I understand homeo will take time to react. Would like to ask experts opinion if it is a right approach? Any other tips to divert her thoughts/ manage? Pls provide some insights. Thanks in advance!

Taking olimelt on alternate days is present in no treatment protocol and cane be in fact detrimental rather than being helpful. Consult a psychiatrist and get proper medication and dosage. Get a gastroenterologist opinion for her stomach ache. It is your choice to try homeopathy, but it is very risky to combine 2 patties as the interactions have not been studied and cane be serious. So follow one stream which helps her, whichever it is. Good luck.

Dear are you taking these two meds without break since 2006. If you arer and u didn't face another episode of illness since then, then it is time to reduce your medicines. Start with reducing Olanzepine to 2.5mg per night. Otherwise please consult a psychiatrist to get review of your medications.

You need and should take BP medicines. You should get aECG and serum lipid profile done. Also check yourself for diabetes. With these reports you see a physician who will give medicine for High BP. You also show your report to the doctor who is treating your bipolar disorder. He may change your medications if he or she feels so. Finally you should restrict your salt intake and do regular exercise and meditation.

Neurologist is not the right specialist to treat anxiety. He seems to have prescribed a masala of medications. Consult a psychiatrist, who is the right person to treat anxiety. Sometimes CBT needs to be combined with anxiolytics for better outcomes. All the best.

The medicine can be suggested only after detailed assessment by a psychiatrist. It will be beneficial if you learn behavioural skills and how to deal with repetitive thoughts and impulses. Psychotherapy will equip you will various techniques which will give you the extra relief. Talk to a trained and qualified psychologist. Help is just one call away.
