Hi lybrate-user
you can definitely try half a tablet although it’s a very mild dose.
I’d suggest you get a consultation and change your medications.
There are several types and classes of medications available for depression and anxiety which will not have the side effects you mention.
You can try other medication combinations for the same.
Hope this helps

I am not diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I am recently diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder (most recent or current manic) along with the symptoms of grandiose delusions (according to the psychiatrist, I believe myself I am god). I am not diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder but I had taken olanzapine (increased to 5 mg dosage) and this drug is used to treat schizophrenia but as prescribed by psychiatrist, I was taking olanzapine not for schizoaffective disorder but for bipolar disorder along with delusions. Another psychiatrist from Lybrate platform told me that, "you might be suffering from schizoaffective disorder, and it requires immediate action of a doctor. Consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible. So, does this mean that I am diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder or suffering from schizoaffective disorder? If I really have schizoaffective disorder, then who will marry me? It's better to commit suicide as schizoaffective disorder is the most critical psychological disorder. Does the psychiatrist indirectly told me that I am having schizoaffective disorder in the form of bipolar 1 disorder along with grandiose delusions symptoms?

I think I have a bipolar disorder, one doctor confirmed, one said may be mild chances, many said ocd, anxiety,secondary depression. I am very worried about a wrong diagnosis, I have been prescribed fluoxetine 40 mg, 2.5 mg olanzapine and 0.5 mg etilaam in the name of ocd. Will this help me incase I have bipolar. I think etilaam should be excluded and also the doctor will do the tapering assuming I have ocd and depression. Shown to a lot of doctors. Some have recommended fluvoxamine with olanzapine or etilaam. Need time to finalize the doctor. Kindly throw light on safe bipolar medication even if mis or undiagnosed. Also 3 years back had ocevox50, olizmd,ezolent plus and oximed which worked fine, I left it on my own after a year's time. I have racing thoughts, no emotional fluidity, slowed brain and speech, difficulty in constructing ideas or arranging thoughts in mind, each one ruled out schizophrenia, I am impulsive, keep changing topics, I argue and I am talkative.

Dear lybrate-user,
bipolar disorder is a longitudinal diagnosis. Since you keep changing the doctors, each one sees you at a cross sectional time. Ocd, depression, anxiety etc are common diagnosis during depressive episode. Now that you have recurrent episodes and one episode of racing thoughts, argumentative and over talkative, bipolar disorder is a possibility. Please consult with one psychiatrist with all the prescriptions of previous doctors. If you can, take one family member who has ob...more

Hi there ~
I am glad that you asked this question. Although this is an open forum and there would be limits to confidentiality that would be breached if I would answer your question fully, I will give you some information regarding the depressive disorder. I am however unable to prescribe medications or give you specific advice regarding counseling or therapy in your situation as it would be considered confidential and private. In that case I recommend that you book an online appointment aft...more

These drugs are important for your treatment and recovery. Instead of stopping on your own you should have consulted the doctor and described the side effects. You should have also combined medication with some counseling for the best results. Now you have lost that opportunity and because of your age, it is important to restart only with a medical prescription and evaluation. Do not self-medicate and also you have to be carefully monitored during use for exactly the reason you quit: the side ef...more

Cognitive dysfunction can possibly be attributed to both: your illness, as well as the medications you are taking. It is however essential that you take the medication as prescribed by your psychiatrist. Do not modify, alter, stop or change any medications on your own. The best thing would be to approach your treating doctor with this problem so that they can make any changes (if required) in your prescription.

Dear user. I can understand. You are HEALTH ANXIOUS, it seems. Hypochondriasis is an Obsession with the idea of having a serious but undiagnosed medical condition. Health anxiety is not a serious mental disorder but without proper treatment the person affected could be depressed and continuously engaged in negative thoughts. I suggest online counseling, cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relaxation therapy. Take care.
