I'm feeling super confused and kind of worried about masturbation. I usually do it once a month, but afterward, I end up feeling really down, tense, and sort of hopeless. It also messes with my motivation for studying and work. I've heard so many mixed opinions about whether masturbation can be bad for mental, sexual, or physical health. Some doctors say it's perfectly fine, while others call it a harmful habit. Can it really affect someone this much, or is it no big deal? I'd love to understand this better.

Combining Atarax (Hydroxyzine) with caffeine is not recommended, as it can cause conflicting effectsAtarax is a sedative, while caffeine is a stimulant.
