Could I go ahead and stop taking Ciplar LA 40 since I've been on it for a year and my symptoms are getting better? My psychiatrist thinks I should stop, but I'm worried about whether that could cause any problems. What do you suggest?

It is important to follow your psychiatrist's advice when it comes to stopping medication. Ciplar LA 40 is a brand name for propranolol, which is commonly used to treat various conditions including high blood pressure, angina, and tremors.

I'm really struggling with shyness whenever I'm around girls. Even a simple touch makes me feel like there's an electric current running through me, and it's been like this since I was in Class 4, not just starting from 9th grade. I went to a coed school from LKG, so it's not like I haven't been around girls. It's complicated because Ive always been quite poor with academics, but I'm super active in sports. Do you think this shyness could be some sort of psychic issue?
