Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am not getting good sleep. I have stress, mental pain, irritation, agony, and bullshit thinking. I am diabetic, and I need a rest for a few days. I am taking Amixide, Mirtaz 30 mg, Lonazep MD 0.25 mg, Teneligliptin 1000, Zoryl MV 2, Rejuveron active, and Sunvit gold. After taking these tablets also, I am not getting strength and sleep. Please prescribe me some medicine and help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Along with medicines, you need to maintain sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene includes fixing a time for going to bed and getting out of the bed at a set time after sleeping. Go for a regular morning walk for 35 minutes and follow it five times a week. Do some deep breathing exercise or Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation exercise. You can practice it, and if you feel some difficulty even after following these steps, then you can consult a doctor nearby. Also, you can ask your psychiatrist for changing the medicine or add Quetiapine 50 mg which can help you to get good sleep as well as for anxiety too.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
