Dear user, you are too young. But due to certain reasons if you are diagnosed with depression and ocd you have to take some extra care of yourself. I want to know the whole details about your disorder. But I must say do not depend on the medicines and do not make it a habit for future. Medicines are not a proper solution for mental health, for sometime its okay but do not make it a habit for future. Counselings is a best option for you so that you could better understand yourself and save yourself from the side effects of medicines. Please call and discuss your problem in detail and then it will be able to help you better.

Sir, my son is 23 years old now suffering from mental illness since when he was appx 17 years old. He could not get success for iit. He dropped for 2nd chance. In between he went into depression. Initial symptoms were - he suspected police are changing him, sometimes vigilance people or every known persons are doing conspiracy against him. Doctor gave five counselling after that prescribed fludac 20 mg. About one and half months he had taken. Thereafter, he resisted for taking further. When he could not get success for iit, he decided to do b.sc. Honors. One day, merely after one month of college, he returned from college himself laughing and body movement was not normal. He was not responding anyone word in the family. Immediately rushed to the psychiatrist who prescribed olimelt 10 mg. After 10 days he started noticing word of the family members and taking foods. It was very surprising to us to notice that although he became full senseless even after at the college going time he tried to go out for college. Slowly we reduced the dose to 2.5 mg (frankly speaking without advice of doctor). He is very passionate of scientific job. He always appreciates scientist einstein. He himself managed for iit jam coaching and he got success and got admission in iit. And was living in hostel. But unfortunately he totally stopped taking medicines and his change in behaviour was noticed by the authority. The authority didn't ready to continue him further. After that he became more upset. Now last one year doctor is prescribing olimelt 15 mg + fludac 20 mg for schizophrenia. Psychologist gave counselling but she couldn't get success in finding of my son problem. Simply said he is suffering from anxiety. psychiatrist is saying they will reduce the dose but still not. Other hand my son is saying he is totally ok. Once again he is trying for iit jam exam in case he got admission in the iit of same city. What will be in the long run with his other health problems as I read that heart disease, lung cancer etc. Occurs in the long run. Is it true? What can I do other best things for his health. What are your helpful suggestions?

Your son based on the symptoms is most likely having schizophrenia, which is a major mental illness which needs long term treatment and psychosocial rehabilitation. The medication olimelt is good for initial symptom control, there are better medications for maintenance. Better not adjust the dose by yourself as it will be detrimental. The need for fludac is dubious here. Get a second opinion if needed, if things are going fine regularly attend psychiatrist review and work on his symptoms and life style changes. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, you have been fighting against ocd. Please take cbt with erp (exposure and response prevention) from a clinical psychologist or cbt trained psychiatrist. Your fighting will be more effective. Please continue all the tablets along with it.

My doctor has prescribed fludac 20 every morning. Here it is shown that effect of medicine lasts for 12-14 days. Along with this I take clonafit twice daily and ciplar la once daily. Then why I have to take fludac 20 every day if the effect lasts for 12-14 days?

The medication takes 2-4 weeks to culminate and act, it does not mean a single tablet lasts for 2 weeks. The medication acts progressively to stabilise your serotonin receptors and acts. The medication combination is good, consult your psychiatrist and follow his advise. Good luck.

At the time of childhood I felt guilty myself seeing my friends that they have why i'm not. I used to old books old uniforms unable to pay my tuitions fee and school fees. I think I was poor and i'm not made for my friends and society so I was felt hopeless and loneliness myself at that time. I started making distance from my friends and society gradually. Felt fear to face teachers, higher rank. Seldom go to school and tuition as teacher demand fees. My family was poor and one of my brothers was alcoholic and disturb my family on daily basis. With the time I used to stay alone don't attend any party or functions and gradually started masturbation. When I was preparing for final examinations of the schools and colleges felt fully depressed as my preparation was not up to date as I seldom had to school and tuitions and had less books and notes. At the time of my college third year final exams I felt fully depressed sometimes suicidal through comes into my mind so I consult a doctor near my home she proscribed me, 1. Fludac 20 mg two times a day for three months. I take this medicine around three months but not fell good, my mood was always sleepy. 2.afterwards she allowed me to take fludac 10 serlift 25 for three months. 3.afterward serlift 50 two time a day for one year. I fell fresh and healthy taking the last medicine. I used serlift 50 two times a day around one and half year. Fell better and consult her she advice me to stop medications as I feel better but advice me that the same problem may comes again as you have ocd. She was no longer alive. Now i'm in a govt job. Again I have same problem -masturbation to reduce anxiety once to twice on daily, feeling alone, suicidal thought, unable to attend party and social functions mood irritation take sleep around 12 to 14 hours in a day after stopping medication last 2 years and taking medicine around 2 years. 1. What is the reason? 2. What to do? 3. Does I have ocd or depression? 4. Why it is only happens with me? 5. I already takes the medicine for 2 years.

Antidepressants can bring relief from many symptoms of depression. But side effects are often part of the package. Some aren’t fun to deal with. Others you can manage. In rare cases, they can be serious proper medical consultation should be taken before choosing any antidepressants.

It takes four weeks for the medication to act fully. If it is not helping you there are better alternatives, consult a psychiatrist and get the same. Combine with cognitive behavior therapy as well for good result. Good luck.

If medicines are taken under expert supervision then you should not worry about the side effects. Just openly discuss the issues you face with your psychiatrist. Some people have a tendency to overeat or eat fatty food when they feel depressed. When people feel depressed they tend to become less active. Both of these issues may result in weight gain.
