Asked for female, 23 years old from Gwalior

I am 24 year old suffering from mental illness. I met many doctors told them but their medicine doesn't work. Is it means they are not getting right about my disease. Actually I captured in this problem due to thinking very very negative. I know that there is no chemical imbalance in my brain. But the problem is related to muscles in forehead area. Doctors gave me medicines like VALZ, VILAMID, D-VENIZ, CELLIPRA, NEXITO, REXPIRA etc. I have taken these medicines maximum up to two months individually in regular intervals. Are these medicines helpful for me? Actually I feel problems in study. There is no focus, no sharp concentration. My study speed is very slow. Slow Working of brain. Whenever I study, I don't grasp quickly the summery of my text. Yawning comes in half an hour. Please let me know the correct and effective medicine or treatment for me and also tell me what actually happened in my forehead muscles. I feel that there is yielding. If yes then can it be treated by medicines completely and quickly?

Well stop all medication gradually as they never helped. Start relaxation techniques, activity scheduling, regular exercise and yoga for 30 mins. After 15 days reply me back if it does not help. Then we will do detail evaluation. Happy to help you.

Hi lybrate-user! This problem is completely due to anxiety, depression, confusion and over thinking. If you are not able to overcome with the help of medication then you can seek a Professional Psychologist at your locality or online Psychologist for the same to undergo treatment and counseling. Yes you can definitely overcome provided you see a Professional help. Medication is not required. If you are interested you can contact me either through text chat or online consultation yes you are most welcome. Take care. Do not get confused.

I am taking vilazine 40 .can I drink occasionally alcohol? Could it effects my libido?

I am taking vilazine 40 .can I drink occasionally alcohol? Could it effects my libido?

Hi, Vilazodone (Active ingredient in Vilazine) is an antidepressant. There is usually no serious interaction with small amounts of alcohol. However, alcohol has direct effect on some Mental Illnesses (particularly anxiety disorders) and your treating Psychiatrist will be in a better position to answer if there is any potential for deterioration of the underlying illness for which Vilazodone has been prescribed. It can decrease libido in few cases. However, Depression is more common culprit for decreased libido and in majority of the cases it actually improves libido. Best wishes.

Suffering form depression from long time, tried different antidepressants nexito, vilano currently on bupropion. Bupropion has lifted few of the symptoms but not completely. M from medical profession and read about melancholic depression and I am having most of the symptoms related to it like anhedonia, early morning awakening, depression more severe in the morning. I wanted to know, what's the success rate of melancholic depression with bupropion or other AD. Tca has got better result compared to other drugs. What about fluoxetine? Or venflaxine So shall I give a try to TCA .and any other tips in particular to melancholic depression.

Dear lybrate-user, Most antidepressants work more or less at the same level. Mostly, you go by the side-effects - whether they are acceptable by you. Both Vilazodone and Bupropion have minimal sexual side effect. Fluoxetine has more erectile dysfunction. Weight and sedation are also to be taken into account. If you can tolerate effective dose of TCA, you can try. Otherwise go for Venlafaxine. The only tip is - it is not the antidepressant. It is the duration (minimum 3-6 weeks) and dose (TCA and Venlafaxine 75 - 225 mg) of the tablet that matters.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Marijuana addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions. Medically assisted drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification alone is ineffective as a treatment for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommends detoxification followed by both medication (where applicable) and behavioral therapy, followed by relapse prevention.
