I've been experiencing some trouble with sleeping and heard about Trika. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is it the best option for a sleeping pill, or are there other alternatives I should consider? Would love to get some guidance.

Truka, also known as Ayurvedic medicine, can have side effects like digestive issues, allergic reactions, or interactions with other medications, and regarding slipping pills, Truka is not a proven or recommended treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation (PE),

I've been feeling anxious for the past month and have been taking meds plus doing yoga to manage it. I'm also scheduled for deviated septum surgery soon and that's adding to my worries how can I handle the anxiety around the procedure and recovery?

To manage anxiety before and after deviated septum surgery, consider a multi-pronged approach. Maintain your current anxiety medication and yoga routine, but also explore other coping strategies like stress-reducing activities, support groups, and open communication with your healthcare team.

I'm on anxiety meds and it's been a year now. Recently, I've started getting really bad panic attacks, and my doctor put me on ciplar la 40 and beta anxit 20 for 4 months. He said if my fear goes away and I start feeling weak, I should drop the dose to ciplar la 20. About a month into taking ciplar la 40, I started feeling weak and couldn't really walk, so I lowered the dose. But now, I don't feel that weakness anymore. The weird thing is, around medicine time, like when I take ciplar at 9 a.m., my body starts acting strange. My pulse is okay when I check it, but my head feels off. Once I take the meds, everything goes back to normal, but this happens every time I take my medicine. Is this normal? I'm really scared.

The symptoms you are describing could be related to the medication. Ciplar la 40 is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat anxiety and panic attacks. The sensation you are feeling in your head around the time you take the medication may be a side effect of the drug. Since you mentioned feeling weak and unable to walk when you were on the higher dose of ciplar la 40, it was appropriate for you to decrease the dose as per your doctor's instructions. If you are now feeling better with the lower dose of ciplar la 20, that is a positive sign. However, if you continue to experience unusual sensations or if you are concerned about any symptoms, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. They may be able to provide further guidance or adjust your medication regimen if needed.

I've been dealing with an addiction to masturbation, and it's gotten to the point where I can't go a day without doing it, usually once or twice. No matter where I am, I get these strong urges at night and find it really hard to control myself. Even if I manage to stop for just one day, by the next, I'm itching to do it again. I'm really looking for advice on how I can overcome this habit. What steps can I take to break this cycle?

It's important to recognize that you're not alone in facing this challenge. I recommend finding healthy distractions, like engaging in hobbies, exercise, or relaxation techniques. If the urge is strong, try delaying it for a few minutes each time to gradually reduce dependency. If needed, seeking professional counseling can help address any underlying emotional or psychological factors.
