I'm feeling a bit stuck and could really use some advice. I've been dealing with anxiety for around nine months and have been on medication, gradually reducing the doses as my doctor advised. Everything was going okay until I had a panic attack ten days ago. My doctor then prescribed etizola beta 0.25 mg for ten daysdouble dose for the first five, then single. After switching to the single dose, I was handling the withdrawal symptoms fine, but for the last two days, I've needed to take my dose in the morning instead of the evening because the symptoms get worse then. I'm not sure if I should increase my dose? I'm in the process of changing doctors, and the new one won't be available until Monday, so I'm kind of in a bind for the next couple of days. What should I do?

It is not recommended to increase the dose of etizola beta 0.25 mg without consulting a healthcare professional. However, if your symptoms are worsening in the morning, you can try taking an additional half dose (0.125 mg) in the morning to help manage your symptoms until you can see your new doctor on Monday. Remember to stick to the prescribed total daily dose and do not exceed the maximum recommended dosage. If you experience any severe or concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately.

View allI've got a really tough situation where I just can't fall asleep without masturbating. It feels like it's become a habit I can't shake, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried exercising a lot to tire myself out, hoping it'll help me sleep better, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there something I can do to change this pattern? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Establish a bedtime routine that promotes relaxation and better sleep. You can try incorporating activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bed. Additionally, you may benefit from speaking with a therapist or counselor to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this habit. In some cases, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful in changing behaviors and thought patterns.

I'm trying to understand if Librax is actually meant to help with sleeplessness. My friend told me her doctor prescribed it as a sleeping pill, and I'm a bit confused because I've never heard of it being used for that before. Is it common to use Librax for sleep issues, or could there be another reason the doctor might have recommended it?
No its not a sleeping pill,its used for stomach related issues

I've been feeling my pulse all over my body, even when I touch my fingers, it's like I can feel it everywhere. Even when I'm lying down to sleep, I notice this pulsing in my head. On top of that, I keep having these sudden involuntary muscle jerks, they happen all over, including my head, hands, and legs, even when I'm trying to sleep. I have a lot of anxiety, and I end up worrying too much about my health. I often find myself searching online and getting even more anxious after reading things. Can you tell me if these symptoms might be related to anxiety, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I've already had an ECG done, and that came back normal.
