Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been diagnosed with anxiety. I am taking 50 mg of Pexep CR, 60 mg of Beta capsule, and 10 mg of Altonil. And I was taking 2.5 mg of Oleanz before, but now I am tapering it and taking half a tablet every day for less than a month. Last afternoon I was having sex, and in the middle of it, I suddenly felt excruciatingly sad and depressed for no reason. And I slept a bit and then went out but still felt excruciatingly low for hours and hours, and then I started feeling anxious about my sadness. Now I feel extremely anxious and fearful that I will get sad again, and I cannot stop thinking about why I got so sad for no reason. My chest felt heavy.
What is happening to me?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. As mentioned above, you experienced an anxiety attack and must continue your medication. You should take the tablet Clonazepam mouth dissolving 0.5 mg when you have an anxiety attack. It will help you. You should follow few guidelines to deal with your problem. Exercise 30 to 45 minutes daily, like at least going for a walk. Meditate for 20 minutes daily, sit at one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts. Just let it be. It will help you to relax and reduce anxiety attacks. Eat healthy home-cooked food and avoid junk food. Drink enough water. Spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family. It would help if you spent time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, language, or musical instruments. Get seven to eight hours of sleep daily. Avoid tobacco or alcohol or any substance abuse. Live your life, do not just spend it. Be bold and confident.
Thank you.
