I'm planning on moving to Kanchipuram from the U.S. this June and I've been taking Vyvanse for my adult ADHD. I'm a bit anxious about how to continue this medication once I'm in India. Could you guide me on finding a doctor there, what the costs might be for appointments and medication, and what other treatment options are available?

I'm glad you're taking proactive steps to manage your nausea.

Doxinate Tablet

Doxinate is a combination of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) and Doxylamine, an antihistamine. It's commonly used to alleviate nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Taking Half a Tablet Daily

While it's understandable that you want to manage your nausea, taking half a tablet daily without consulting your doctor may not be the best approach.

Potential Concerns:

Doxylamine dosage: Taking half a tablet daily may lead to inconsistent Doxylamine levels in your body, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

Interactions with other medications: Doxinate may interact with other medications you're taking, including prenatal vitamins. Taking half a tablet daily may increase the risk of adverse interactions.

Recommendation:

Consult your doctor: Discuss your nausea management plan with your doctor. They can help you determine the best course of action and adjust your medication regimen if needed.

Follow the recommended dosage: Adhere to the recommended dosage on the label or as advised by your doctor.

Explore alternative nausea management options: Your doctor may recommend other treatments, such as acupressure bands, ginger, or other natural remedies, to help alleviate your nausea.

Remember, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm a bit worried about my health because I've been doing some hand practice and theres this 23-day interval between it. I'm really looking for some advice on how to completely stop this. Do you have any suggestions?

]To stop hand practice, try these suggestions: set realistic goals, identify triggers, practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, engage in physical activities, seek support from friends, family, or a therapist, and consider implementing a 30-minute delay tactic when urges arise, allowing you to reassess and redirect your focus, and remember that overcoming this habit takes time, effort, and self-compassion

I've had an overdose of sleeping pills a couple of days ago because of some personal issues. This isn't the first timeI've been hospitalized for this before.
