No, you should not take methylphenidate for this. Rather than adding one more medication just to avoid side effect of current medications better option is to modify your current medication regime. You may take these medications in night if you are taking in day or change the medication if you already taking them in night. Consult your treating psychiatrist or take second opinion from another psychiatrist nearby or online. All the best.

Both are ssri s the response for both varies between individuals though the disorder might be the same. It is like taking ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin as antibiotic. So take one medicine for a course and discuss with you treating psychiatrist which work best. Good luck.

Citalopram and fluoxetine did not directly affect penile erection as objectively assessed by rigiscan, although an impairment in the subjective assessment of erectile function was observed, but was significant only for citalopram, and it was thought to be a possible consequence of the delayed ejaculation perceived as erectile dysfunction.

If you have visited a psychiatrist and they have prescribed these medications you should have belief in the doctor. They have the best in mind for you and your loved one. If you have questions regarding treatment you can talk to the psychiatrist who prescribed the medication. I hope this helps. Take care and I hope your mother gets well soon.

You need to take medication as per your doctor's recommendation. Do not discontinue, alter, modify or change it in any way. Take it for the prescribed period of time. Premature termination of treatment can lead to relapse or worsening of symptoms. It becomes more difficult to treat after that.

As you are improving significantly. Your benzodiazepine dose was stopped and changed to escitalopram only drug to prevent dependence to benzodiazepine. Initial mild sleep disturbances may settle in a week. If not your consultant will review and plan accordingly. This can happen in many patients so don’t worry too much.
Good luck.
