Vap 500Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for Male, 25 years old from Pune

I am 23 male. I made plans and I am good at everything I write in plans. I don't have sense of time and I wasted last 5 years thinking why am I so careless and lazy and started feeling low about myself. I was previously patient of depression and treated for that but in a row I become patient of chronic procrastination I think. I don't bath for week though I use to live very hygienically. I am treated with valporic acid by my doctor and I feel frustrated with each and every day as I am not doing anything just distracting myself into something else. Please help me I wasted so much of time that I cant afford to be unhealthy for a second.

Hello, I can understand what is worrying you and your situation right now. First, i'd suggest that you don't need to use every second just for achieving something. Devote some time to yourself, pick out your hobbies, join some sport or music club. The purpose of life is to be content, happy and peaceful and not merely be an achiever. Secondly, what you describe sounds like bipolar depression. For this, optimize your dose of valproate, if that doesn't help much, there are medicines that can be us...more

You don't need to be so helpless. Sodium valproate is a good medication for epilepsy control, though it takes some tome to start action. The dose of sodium valproate may need supervised changes and may need add on medications at times for control of seizures. Consult a neurophysician for the same. Also a brain imaging like MRI scan might be useful to rule out possible causes of uncontrolled seizures at his age.

Here is a possibility that your seizure could be a part of your migraine. I would suggest you to manage the migraine well. Valproate can be considered as it can be a migraine prophylaxis as well as anti epileptic. But each individual is different we should try out to find what works best for you.

Dr. Abhishek Chaudhari91%(61 ratings)

General Physician•Jalgaon

Valproate is an antiepileptic medication that is also used to treat migraines. However, it is not recommended for use in pregnant women because it has been associated with an increased risk of birth defects and developmental problems in children exposed to the drug in utero.
The use of valproate during pregnancy has been linked to an increased risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, as well as cognitive and behavioral problems in children. It may also affect the development of the...more

The situation needs detailed discussion. Valproate can cause problems with development of the baby. But not always valproate will cause problems. On the other hand uncontrolled epilepsy is more dangerous for you and your baby. Majority of the valproate related problems can be diagnosed in ultrasound. But some problems can develop at relatively late age of the baby. Please start folic acid and discuss the issue in a meeting with neurologist, gynaecologist and your family being present.

I'm in 95% remission on medication, I take carispec 3 mg, valproate cr 1g, and bupropion xl 150 mg. I'm happy with my new doctor but I feel denied therapy for traumatic emotional sensitivity. I want a opinion if with these symptoms I should continue advocating for therapy or if it is harmful for me. 30, male, diagnosed early stage f20 15 years ago. Doctor's meds never worked, tried many throughout the years. Since childhood, violent father who struck me, family and my mother. No interest in school studies and unable to understand simplest subjects, always landed up in trouble with teachers who constantly berated me as a child. High school was further traumatising, bullied constantly by whole class and cursed upon to the point I was so conscious of myself and filled with anxiety everyday and the anxiety was high to the point of being almost psychotic. I avoided places like barber and school vicinity where I felt uncomfortable and became extremely anxious. Stopped speaking with father completely for 15 years even though we lived together until his death, retaliated his behaviour with outbursts of rage of my own. Since childhood and especially 11 years old, felt very sensitive and hurt by everything, started becoming detached and separate from the world, spending time alone by myself to cope and increased computer use. Was also not very expressive and that fuelled rage further. The sensitivity gave way to complete isolation and severe grief filled depression, weeping everyday, and that gave way to extreme irritability where I could not tolerate the slightest noises like building construction, kid crying, and lashed out physically and verbally. Electrical shock sensations in my chest also. Started having full on rage attacks, retaliatory outbursts where I shattered glass objects by the dozen, tore the house down everyday, and screamed at the top of my lungs, often curses which kids at school had said to me. Was hospitalized in 2015 3 months because of unending outbursts, felt others misunderstood that these curses were from trauma and I didn't deserve the torture.  get repetitive nightmares and flashbacks in dreams where my father is screaming violently, and I start screaming as well curses and rage and then beg in despair after breaking things in dream also, that please I don't want to go to nursing home. Or that my father is hitting my mother and I beg please don't hit her, I picture this as a kid.  wake up angry often unconsciously punching and kicking the near wall or bed. Often woke up unconsciously crying with tears in eyes.  the depression is such that I feel so sensitive and lonely. I crave intimacy but have no friends. I feel there is no one to love me. I feel i'm completely wretched and damaged and there is no good in me. I become hypersexual but scared of that. I feel want to marry a chaste, pure christian girl and conceive a child in her womb but get upset because that will never be.  I also stop all hygiene. 1 months ago started low dose vraylar because no other meds were helping. And every inch of irritability, rage, hygiene issue disappeared instantly and I feel happy for first time in life. But I do feel I need support for my trauma to prevent any depressive relapses in the future but the hundred doctors I saw just put f20 because I damage property, and say you are not a war victim. I feel misunderstood and that does not help. Thank you.

Addwize tablet will not help in either autism or in epilepsy. Its a medication prescribed for a condition known as attention deficiency hyperactive disorder (ADHD); autism needs specific behavior modification training & medications like phenytoin, valproate are given to control epilepsy. Good Luck
