  • I need help?

    Do you have a good internist and have you been evaluated for all likely medical problems? Also, the body is very complicated and looking up things, though sometimes helpful, cannot possibly give you the answers when things are more complicated. Do you need assistance in finding a competent medical consultant? READ MORE

  • Can I take Trazodone supplementation?

    As long as it is low dose and you are aware of the risk for priapism and go to the Er asap if any signs of priapism start and go to the Er before 4 hours after the priapism starts READ MORE

  • I have anxiety attacks and fainting?

    You need to see a medical APRN or MD or DO to check for diabetes READ MORE

  • MDD due to possible ivermectin overdose?

    If you have seen a medical expert and have normal labs and physical you likely need an SRNI or possibly need to add buproprion to the lexapro . Thirty treatments of TMS is usually effective with the antidepressant so you may need to switch antidepressants. I would not be pessimistic as there are many alternatives for treating depression than the one you have tried. Also what other medications are you on or are you using alcohol or cannabis as these can diminish the efficacy of you antidepressant treatment. READ MORE

  • Headache-delirium?

    Have you been checked for migraine headaches? What dose of abilify are you on and have you been checked for side effects by your current prescriber? Are you using any alcohol or cannabis or other drugs and what other medications are you on? Is there a family history of diabetes or substance use problems? The more you can let a skilled medical or psychiatric provider know what all is going on with you the more likely they can help you. If you do use alcohol at times too much please let your provider know or go to a good internist for a more complete assessment and please let them know all the details of you health conditions .
