I've been having some anxiety and OCD issues, so I went to a psychiatrist and got prescribed Depran H. After taking the first tablet, a few hours later, my vision got kind of blurry, like when you're a bit drunk, and I noticed some mild shivering too. Is this something normal with this medication?

I've been trying to stop watching porn and it's really hard. I've tried different things like going to the gym and playing outdoor games to keep busy, but the urge is still there. I'm looking for advice on how I can overcome this habit. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

To overcome the urge to watch porn, consider combining your existing physical activities with additional strategies: identify triggers, practice mindfulness and meditation, seek support from friends, family, or a therapist, utilize website blockers or apps like Freedom, SelfControl, or Cold Turkey, and engage in hobbies or creative pursuits that promote emotional fulfillment and self-expression.

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.
