Oleanz Plus 20 Mg/5 Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 26 years old from Jhansi

Report

I am 24 year old ocdian suffering from ocd from past 10 years though a bit of small to moderate symptoms were present earlier also but they were not as intense as one's life would stop. I was on paxidep cr 62.5 mg for a long time and on oleanz 1.25 mg for 3 months last year in april but they were weight gaining medicine so my doctor prescribed topiramate 25-50 mg .I took it for 14 days and left oleanz as my wt was about 95 kg. I don't know what happened my nature of thoughts completely changed from then. My thoughts had started coming in a slow manner and they were resistant to any therapy I would practice. Also thoughts of guilt and compulsion which had stopped coming long back restarted again. I took paxidep for 5 more months along with buspin 15 mg for few months. But there was hardly any change I noticed in my condition. I realized that the medicines are hardly having any effect on me. So I stopped the medicines for about 50 days and I saw no change in my symptoms after withdrawal also. My doctor was not understanding my situation So I changed the doctor and they changed my medicines and even then my thoughts slowed down much more. Now when I am studying anything l learn is looking same as anything I don't remember. It's almost become impossible to study. My other concern is that my anxiety has fallen down rapidly after that topiramate incident. So What exactly has happened?

Please go for psychotherapy. You deserve to be happier and healthier. OCD is well managed trough psychotherapy. Also download or buy a book called Brain Lock and read it. Also do follow a healthier lifestyle - spend some time outdoors, eat a balanced and healthy diet including lots of water and fruits. These will nut treat you but help in your treatment. You do not have to suffer all your life. All the best.

It's cause of concern that your insulin is not acting to neutralize the sugar while you are taking good medicines prescribed by your experience doctor. This is non response of drugs. It's not fault in treatment by your doctor. I would suggest the support of ayurveda medicine as support to your current medicine. Both won't counteract with each other. Observing the response of this integrative approach, further directions would be decided.
If you agree, I would mention the first phase of safe,...more

I'm sorry to hear that you have been distressed and the medication is not helping. It might be helpful to consult your psychiatrist to change the dosage or medication because sometimes, some medicines are not the best fit for some individuals. In case the concerns persist, it can sometimes be helpful to get another opinion. Also, please consult a psychologist because medication alone may not be sufficient for treating anxiety and depression.
Hope you find the help that you need.

Dear Lybrate user,
generally one month period is enough to get the desired results, but in some cases it may take a longer time. It depends on many factors like the severity of the illness, age of the patient etc. Better complete the 2-month course as prescribed by your doctor, and then if there is no improvement you can ask the doctor for other medicines.

Dear Bhooshan,
It depends on whether you get mania or depression, how frequently you get the episodes, how severe the episodes are, how long each episodes last, the understanding of your family, co workers and others about bipolar disorder, etc. Oleanz by itself may not cause any change in sexual performance. Oleanz plus contains Fluoxetine that may cause erectile dysfunction. If you did not have any problem with oleanz plus initially, you may not have any problem in future. It is not a long...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you have suddenly begun to snore or have only just started to notice, it is likely to be due to a recent physical change in your mouth or throat. This could be caused by: putting on weight, especially around the neck. Jaw misalignment due to an injury.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Dear lybrate user,
it is better for your daughter to continue the medicines prescribed by the doctor, for the time being. But along with this she certainly needs counselling. She might have a number of issues at this age, which she may not be able to share with anyone. The counselling process will give her an outlet to express herself and understand her own mind. Cbt will work for her, but don't insist on it. Let the counsellor decide which therapy will suit your daughter. Most counsellors w...more
