Hello, There are many aspects of depression, the more of them you have the more likely you are to have a clinical depression. Some patients feel severely depressed and suicidal. If you have these feelings you should go to the emergency department immediately. Other things that people with depression can feel are sadness, low energy, lack of motivation, poor sleep, irritability, weight gain or loss, poor self image and sometimes even a lack of touch with reality. The more of these symptoms you ha...more

We understand your situation however is not advisable to take medications on your own by self-medication. We are glad if you are not self-medicating, however would like to let you know that clonotril and serenace are not the same group of medications. To answer your questions a. Yes, clonotril will reduce your anxiety and so will serenace, but clonotril is more effective if anxiety is due to worries or other reasons that do not involve psychosis. And b. Using serenace is not contraindicated alon...more

We are glad that you are getting help for your anxiety and depression and have specific questions with regards to your medications. You are on zosert 150 mg in the morning and trazalon 50 mg at night. To answer your first question both those medications are not the same class of mood elevators or anxiolytics. They can certainly be combined together and it is quite safe to do so, since the risk of any drug interactions between the two are very low. We hope this information helps. If you need seco...more

Hello Mr. lybrate-user, it's really tough to be in a situation which you are going through, would you be able to specify how many manic or hypomanic episodes have you had previously. There are certainly more drugs in our kitty as psychosurgery or dbt are not as evolved yet to address bipolar depression, ect & rtms are also available non invasive options. Don't lose hope, you may definitely fight this out.

Hello-
antidepressants may cause sexual side effects but depression itself may also affect sex drive and arousal. Most prescription antidepressants are part of a drug family called ssris (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). By raising levels of serotonin in the body, the person taking the drug experiences a feeling of calm and less anxiety.
However, that same sense of calm and stability can lower our libido. It prevents the hormones that cause our bodies to respond to sex from tran...more

42, gender: male hello, I had an anxiety and insomnia issue in early june triggered by job loss. A physiatrist I saw prescribed xanax -xr 1 mg everyday after dinner and 0.25 mg as needed. Although I got another job right after, anxiety remained and is triggered easily by work interactions for many weeks. Medication did help with my anxiety and insomnia. I don’t have as much anxiety issue anymore but whenever I try to taper of xanax, I cannot sleep. When I asked him again, he said keep taking xanax -xr for three months as he thinks different medications will have other side effects. I took a second opinion and the other Dr. told me to taper off xanax and use trazodone 50 mg everyday. 1 mg xanax is definitely helping me with sleep but I am apprehensive about switching drugs especially the first Dr. was emphatic about staying on xanax. Since the two opinions are conflicting, I feel like I need a third opinion to resolve this, as I am very uncomfortable staying on xanax but feel like tapering off it is not an option given my inability to sleep. A mild anxiety that I sometime have during the work days is manageable I feel like I don’t need medication for it. I would like your opinion on whether I continue on xanax or try to taper off and start taking trazodone 50 mg. I am also planning to have sessions with therapists also.

Hey! long standing anxiety is often dealt with in therapy. Medications work on symptoms and is absolutely important. Therapy works on the underlying thoughts leading to the anxiety and provides a safe space to process and manage these thoughts. Visit a therapist in your city or alternatively you could reach out to us to book a session at heartitout.in/book-a-session hope this helps! take care!

Self management will help you. Make small plans which you can achieve. Actually start from following a daily schedule. Train your mind to do certain things at a certain time. Sometimes you will feel you are not able to do it. Then that is fine. Count the number of times you are able to do something. You can go for cognitive behaviour therapy and learn effective techniques for self management. Connect with people who have bipolar. Sometimes you get best support from the people who are facing simi...more
