Those side-effects are true but the mistake you're making is not combining medication with therapy. You get no skills or techniques to cope with yoru situation and life from medicine. You must go and meet with a counselor immediately and if that person advises that you meet with a doctor you must do so and cooperate to your utmost. Please visit these professionals along with your parents. In the meantime please do the following sincerely because you could resolve the problem better with good coo...more

Asked for male, 30 years old from Kishtwar

I am taking following medicine for ocd fluvoxamine 100 m-e, clomipramine 50 m e, amisulpride 50 n, bupropion 300 m, my ocd and other problems are gone except my memory hasn't improved yet to the earlier level. I find it difficult to recall recent events and feel no emotional connectivity with memories. Do it is due to medicine or something else.

Dear Lybrate-User,
None of the tablets that you have mentioned cause memory problems. But due to ocd itself memory lapses will be there. As you improve with ocd, you will fill your thoughts with things happening around you, so that recent memory improves. Please give an example of emotional connectivity with memories.

The 4 medications you mentioned do not have drug interactions, but be careful about indomethacin, it is not advised for more than few days. Good luck

Asked for male, 22 years old from Delhi

The patient is on paroxetine 75 mg and bupropion 300 mg. Patient has ocd and and to manage the thoughts, olanzapine 2.5 mg had been prescribed along with antidepressants, but it made the patient devoid of emotions. Next we tried arpizol (ability) 2 -5 mg but it increased the anxiety hence had to be discontinued. Now the patient has been put on risperidone 1 mg but in one week, it seems that it is exacerbating the mood as well. Thus shall we continue trying antipsychotic? Is there any other antipsychotic with least side effects? Thanks a lot.

It is not recommended that the patient continue the antipsychotic since it seems to be exacerbating the mood. There are plenty of other options that can be discussed at length both here or with your psychiatrist who is currently prescribing the medications. I strongly recommend that you get a second opinion.

Asked for male, 22 years old from Delhi

I am on paroxetine 75 and bupropion 300 mg for anxiety and dysphoria. I was also diagnosed with ocd but paroxetine helped me a lot. I was recently prescribed (flupentixol + melitracen) tablet twice daily for the betterment of mood and anxiety. I just wish to know does this medicine also reduce the chain of thoughts cause by ocd like antipsychotic. Since flupentixol is a typical antipsychotic. Thank you. Do not wish to go for therapy.

Along with medicine, the episodes can be eased by learning relaxation techniques, discussing de-stressing strategies.

I am in depression and a lot of exam stress as I am a medical pg aspirant and a doctor, I am using few medications, bupropion 300 mg, lamotrigine 200 mg, venlafaxine 37. 5 mg, aripiprazole 5 mg, pacitane 2 mg, rabeprazole and ondansetron, these r prescribed drugs by a psychiatrist but I myself take. Few medications since 4 years to help with my studies, stimulants (legal ones) to be specific, modafinil 200 mg, selegiline 5 mg, caffeine 220 mg, and the problem now is I never smoked in my life, although I used to drink one year before, only one year I used to drink, was a social occasional drinker and never had cravings and have been alcohol free since a year, but now although I never smoked before, I feel like smoking to relieve my stress despite taking so many drugs, I am still suffering, feel like crying and lack of motivation to study unless I take stimulants, so smoking cravings without even smoking ever before is my problem, I don't know why?, I was maybe a bit influenced by looking at movies and my friends all around me who smoke whenever they r stressed out, which helps with them actually, maybe I thought smoking a bit might relieve stress and make me motivated a bit so I start studying again, can any psychiatrist can help me with this problem? And explain why I am having cravings ?(note: the bupropion I am using is for depression not for smoking cessation), please help me find a solution, I would take a consult as well if somebody who r addiction specialist who can help me with my problem and explain what I am going thru, thank you.

Its probably due to social learning from your intimate environment where you would have seen people taking about/ experiencing stress and smoking simultaneously. Other probable reason is the use of stimulants which usually provokes tolerance with time and as you are taking stimulant at a fixed dose so the brain might have demanding for some stimulant and it knows that nicotine is one of them. I believe you are on a cocktail of medications both self prescribed and self medicated, the latter ones ...more
