I'm in college and really stressed because I have a paper due tomorrow. I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and it's hard to focus, but I know I need to finish it. I've been thinking about taking my Atarax and combining it with caffeine, like maybe 3 shots of espresso. Is that safe?

Combining Atarax (Hydroxyzine) with caffeine is not recommended, as it can cause conflicting effectsAtarax is a sedative, while caffeine is a stimulant. This may lead to increased anxiety or other discomfort. It's better to focus on calming techniques or consult your doctor if you're feeling overwhelmed.

I've been thinking a lot about rabies and how it works. I read that rabies has a long incubation period and that you're generally safe as long as you get vaccinated before showing any symptoms. Is it true that as long as you get vaccinated before the virus reaches the brain, you're okay? Here's what's on my mind: in 2001-2002, I got a minor dog bite, but I didn't get a vaccine back then. Years later, around 2008, I started worrying and ended up getting vaccinated, like 17 shots between 2008-2012. But I can't shake off the fear from that dog bite years ago. It just won't leave my mind, and I'm scared I might develop rabies in the future. Is that a possibility? What should I do to protect myself? If there's no risk, I really need reassurance because living with this fear is tough. Can you help me figure this out?

Anti rabies vaccination is given at 0,3,7,14 days interval.The wound is cleaned thoroughly with soap water and povidine iodine .
