Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 38-year-old female. I have anxiety, stress, breathing difficulty, dizziness, and, loose stools. Also, I am not able to eat. Currently, I am not under any medication. But a few years back, I had a medicine called Typlin C. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your symptoms could be related to a panic disorder. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a psychologist or psychiatrist. Starting Typlin C again or another type of antidepressant (SSRI) may be necessary. I would also recommend checking thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction. In the meantime, I recommend avoiding coffee intake and start practicing yoga and meditation. Recreational sports can help too. I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Can you please prescribe equivalent medicine for Typlin C which I can buy in my place that makes comfortable.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I would recommend taking Elavil 25 mg (Amitriptyline). It is recommended starting with half a tablet at bedtime for a week and increase after a week to a pill at night. You can increase the dose further after a month. In the meantime, in the first month, as Elavil shows its effects, I would recommend taking Xanax 0.25 mg (Alprazolam) three times daily, to help against anxiety. I hope you will find this answer helpful. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me again at any time.
