Health Query

I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression in 2012, recently my psychiatrist diagnosed me with agoraphobia, I have been on medication like fluvoxamine, venlafaxine, petril md, for about 4 to 5 years, I have had aweful side effects by using them, so from past 2 years i'm completely out of any allopathy medications, I have agoraphobia as i'm unable to go out anywhere, I ger scared of flyovers, traffic, crowded places, open spaces, i'm house bound most of the time, how ever i'm under therapy now with my neuro - psychiatrist. I recently read an article about a supplement called" 5htp".i want to know if I can take it? As it's a natural serotonin supplement. I am on nitrest tablet 10 mg half tablet at night, and also I take fish oil morning and night, I also take one multivitamin tablet, my question is that, can I take the 5htp supplement to help my anxiety? Or is it dangerous to take it?

First you need to become bold, the strongest thing that exist is women, I satule them. 5-htp is possibly unsafe when taken by mouth in large doses. Doses from 6-10 grams daily have been linked to severe stomach problems and muscle spasms.
Do not be so afraid the creator has made you strong internally he will help you in all odd, have faith in your real creator.

Asked for male, 28 years old from Delhi

I have sleeping problems, I do not feel happy, I get weird thoughts that make me think I am going crazy. They are not anything out of the ordinary- Its just that I overthink normal things that I otherwise would not focus on, I can not put things in the right context. As a result I get extremely scared thinking I am crazy. Somehow I have this conviction that I am going crazy. Do not have any voices or hallucinations or paranoia. Whats wrong with me?

Health Query

Hi, one of my close friend's mom is suffering from auditory hallucinations for the more than a week. Most of her talks/hearings are somewhat related to past conflict. Monday they met homeopathy/ayurveda and they suggested for ayurveda tablets/syrup (saraswatharistam and manasamithira vadagam). She was taking ayurveda tablets for 2 days. Since its getting worst and her health would not allow her to wait for few more days to see the response for homeopathy/ayurveda tablets, wednesday night they met psychiatric in chennai. Doctor suggested (psychosis) for a tablet 'olimelt 5 mg' at night (8-8: 30 pm) for 20 days. If she is not getting sleep still, then they suggested to take 'zolfresh 5 mg' at around 11: 30 pm. 1st day (wed night): took olimelt 5 mg around 10 pm, slept around 1 am and woke up around 8 am. 2nd day (thurs night): thursday day time slept for 30 mins. Took olimelt around 8: 45 pm, did not get sleep till 10: 10, started blaberring/crying after that. So gave zolfresh 5 mg, then slept from 12 am-8 am. 3rd dy (friday night-yesterday): friday day time didn't sleep, took her outside. Took olimelt around 8 pm, had meditation for 45 mins, slept around 10: 15 pm. Woke up by 12 am, and blaberring for an hour. So gave zolfresh 5 mg by 1 am, then slept from 2 am till 8: 30 am. Would like to request experts opinion on the below. - can she take both psychiatric tablet and ayurveda medicines together? Would it help for faster recovery? - any other suggestion for faster recovery (like food habits, yoga, meditation, oil bath. Etc)? - in google, its mentioned that "zolfresh 5 mg" has a side effect of hallucinations. Understand this tablet is for deep sleep, but have a fear about this side effect bec. Our main problem is itself hallucinations only - we are trying our level best to divert her, but sometimes it works, most of the times don't. What to do for that - based on above day by day things, are we in a positive direction or we need to speed up the treatment by getting second opinion? How long her body/brain will take to respond for these tablets? When can we expect the slight positive change on this health issue? - there are other suggestions like consulting neurologist, siddha (parallel treatment), acupuncture. Do you recommend any of those at this point of time or wait for sometime to see the response for current medicines? - which treatment would be the best one for this kind of health issue? Any prompt response would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
