Dear lybrate user. Many of the trading high protien powders in the market are having steroids mixed with them which predisposes a person for depression. As you already had an episode of depression in the past, you be cautious of what that powder contains as ingrediants. Spirulina in pure form has no such interactions.

Dear Nikhil,
Probably she would not have come out of depression and she stopped the tablets only on symptomatic relief. It is better to consult the doctor and then stop the medicines. Now that she is depressed, let her consult the doctor again and start the medicines. Sometimes, the same medicines in the same dose may not work that well for a relapse.

All your medications suggest psychological disorder, for which medications are to be continued under supervision of psychiatrist. A consultation with a physicain for detecting a specific cause for underweight and appetite should be done. If normal for general tonic b complex syrup or lysatone syrup can be taken.

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

Cognitive behavior therapy is a widely used therapy currently in treating a variety of concerns and mental disorders. Cbt is most famously used for depression, anxiety, stress etc. It is also used for schizophrenia, but I would recommend that along with cbt medication is also required. Cbt is a theory that proposes that psychological disturbances are caused by dysfunctional or maladaptive thoughts leading to maladaptive actions and emotions.

ALLOPATHIC MEDICINES HAVE SEVERE SIDE-EFFECTS. I RECOMMEND A SWITCH TO NEAREST PATANJALI CHIKITSALAYA MEDICINES AS ADVISED PLUS PRANAYAM .

IF YOU HELP HER TO PRACTICE ALL THAT IS TAUGHT DAILY ON ASTHA CHANNEL 5.00 TO 7.30 AM. VERY VERY EFFECTIVE- ESP ANULOM-VILOM AND BRAMRI AND UDGIT. YOU WILL GET MIRACULOUS RESULTS FOR FREE AND WITHOUT ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ALLOPATHIC MEDICINES.

BUT, MEDICINES ARE DEFINITELY REQUIRED.

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.
