Hello
Bupropion is a good medicine to help you quit smoking. However I will be needing a few more details before we can plan out your therapy.

" hi there, I am a medical doctor myself and an mbbs graduate, who is preparing for neet-pg myself, so do not have much time rather two months left before exam ,so this is highly directed towards only senior psychologists (preferred) and senior psychiatrists, I have a psychiatric history of using medication since 4 years and right now I am having occasional crying spells and inability to feel like reading which I used to enjoy before although I am put on bupropion 300 mg and lamotrigine 200 mg and amisulpride 100 mg and alprazolam 0.5 mg ,sleeping meds are just to counteract modafinil which I take them occasionally to decrease fatigue and increase motivation to study, I will be thankful if someone who is well experienced can provide me with counselling to decrease to cope up with stress and crying spells and any one who can alter medication to the circumstance I am in right now can just give a suggestion, I want to a consult with a psychologist or a psychiatrist and I do not have enough time to maintain a mood journal so any coping skills within short time against crying spells can just drop in a suggestion ,i want to take a consult, thank u.

Unfortunately, therapy cannot be hastened in any manner but it is possible to bring about some functionality to begin with and gradually you can develop good coping skills and recovery over time. You need to consult a psychiatrist for the medication part and follow some therapy along with it. Anyway, it is not good to try to temporarily stave off a condition like this, and some good lifestyle changes are required to heal you. You can contact me on mobile for the therapy.

Hi there, I am very glad for your question. I appreciate that you got the courage to have your question answered on a public forum.
Start your stop smoking plan with start
s = set a quit date.
Choose a date within the next two weeks, so you have enough time to prepare without losing your motivation to quit. If you mainly smoke at work, quit on the weekend, so you have a few days to adjust to the change.
T = tell family, friends, and co-workers that you plan to quit.

Hi I am suffering from social anxiety disorder since long. My psychiatrist tried different combination of medicines but nothing worked notable. Finally, Bupron XL 300 and Panazep (25/0.5 mg) combination worked for me the most. I am taking this combination of these medicines since January 2015 and regularly since October 2015. Recently I gone through regular medical checkup and found elevated liver enzymes - Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), in my blood stream. I am diagnosed with no signs of Hepatitis (A/B/C), though a bit fatty liver and a small Kidney stone. I am a healthy person with no physical signs of any liver issue. I am developed little fat in my stomach in last couple of years but feel healthy. I don't drink, smoke and am pure vegetarian. I eat home-made healthy food mostly with balanced nutrition diet. I want to understand the possible causes behind my elevated liver enzymes and what could be the possible results of this situation? Is it happening due to my long-term usage of anti-anxiety medication. Do I need to stop my anti-anxiety medication? If I do so, I would be in big trouble as this will directly affect my social and working life. If this is necessary to stop medication, what are possible alternatives for me to control my social-anxiety? Please help and advise. I am worried as I have a family dependent on me only. Thanks in advance. Medicines: Bupron- Bupropion Hydrochloride Modified Release Tablets Panazep- Paroxetine Hydrochloride IP 25 mg + Clonazepam IP 0.5 mg Dosages: 1 Bupron + 1 Panazep daily in the morning with empty stomach before leaving to office Elevated Liver Enzymes: Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) as 169 U/L Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) as 113 U/L.

Hi, a psychiatrist will be able to answer your concerns with regard to the medicines aspect of your question. Liver enzymes can also be elevated when we have grade 1 fatty liver which can also happen due to lifestyle related issues such as sedentary lifestyle, stress, less exercise and weight gain. In view of your kidney stone, it would be nice to consult a general physician for the same.
As far as Social Anxiety is concerned, it can also be addressed by counselling or therapy with a psychol...more
