Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 59 and has been having trouble getting a good night's sleep. He was given Alprax 0.25 by the doctor, and he's supposed to take half of that, 0.125mg, each night for 10 days, then stop. He's only taken it for two days so far, but he's already thinking about quitting it now. Is it safe for him to just stop taking it? I'm really concerned about possible withdrawal symptoms like seizures. Can you give some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

Your dad can stop taking Alprax 0.125mg after just 2 days without significant risk of severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures, as the duration of use was short and the dose was low, but he may still experience mild symptoms like anxiety or insomnia, which should resolve on their own within a few days.

Question 2

I've been struggling with some serious issues and really need advice. I'm 29 and have been addicted to pornography and masturbation for 15 years, and I feel like it's really taking a toll on my body and mind. My short-term memory is suffering, and I often feel pain in my body. My energy levels are so low, and I just feel really exhausted all the time. On top of this, I also have schizophrenia, which makes everything even harder. I desperately want to get back to a healthier place and live a happy life. How can I start recovering from all this and take better care of myself?

Question 3

I've been feeling this really uncomfortable sensation like I might vomit whenever I'm in a cab or on a bus, especially if it's crowded. It's like I can't breathe properly and just feel really suffocated. It's starting to worry me. Could there be something going on that I need to address?

Accepted Answer

yes it happens that when you are in a place where enough ventilation or air circulation is not there or closed spaces will make you nauseous and choky...best thing is to relax yourself so that you breathe easy in such situations and avoid such places...the oxygen saturation also comes down.

Can your mind create symptoms?

Yes when your physical symptoms are caused or worsened by your mental state it is called as psychosomatism. People with mental illnesses can experience a range of physical symptoms, such as muscle tension, pain, headaches, insomnia, and feelings of restlessness.
