  • anxiety and depression

    In my opinion as a doctor who played a key role with Lilly to develop this medication I suggest you find a therapist who can get to the bottom of your illness. A pill cannot do everything to heal this illness. Daily physical activity can. READ MORE

  • Should I see a doctor for anxiety attacks?

    Get the book the anxiety disease by Dr David Sheehan. Read it and heal yourself. READ MORE

  • Can I recover from alcohol addiction?

    Only if you want to. Again physical exercise helps. Naloxone as a medication decreases interest in drinking. Get and stay busy, avoid places the serve alcohol. READ MORE

  • Can deep breathing help anxiety?

    No, but less or slower breathing can. READ MORE

  • What to do if you can't work because of depression?

    The very best treatment for Major Depression is outdoor physical exercise. Nothing works better. First line medications might include Zolaft, Paxil, or Prozac READ MORE

  • What medications are used to treat panic attacks?

    Clonazepam is very helpful though best used to prevent panic. As a long acting medication it may keep an individual calm for up to 8 hours. It is not a fast acting medication so best used to prevent panic. For a current episode although Xanax works quickly it tends to be habit forming. If also depressed with Panic many patients find Paxil works over time once on it for weeks. READ MORE

  • What activities help with panic attacks?

    Shut your mouth and breath very slowly though your nose. READ MORE

  • Haloperidol injections

    I my opinion Haloperidol is very unhealthy for humans and I am strongly against its use. Just about any atypical antipsychotic is safer if an antipsychotic is required. It can take months to lose the weight and as I have no idea how much weight was gained the rate of weight loss is a guess. I suggest a professionally instructed keto diet be implemented for more rapid weight loss. Properly done 20 lbs can be lost in one month on Keto. JJM READ MORE

  • ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

    Hello, first in my opinion anti depressants are to be used for one or two years. But as psychiatrist generally do not understand depression they just keep prescribing or raising doses rather than healing the illness. I say this as I am one of the primary doctors who helped bring Cymbalta to market years ago. But as I am not your treating physician you may increase to 120 as that dose has been proven to help some patients.=20 I strongly suggest a therapist who will help you with the disease so medication can eventually be unnecessary.

  • Can alcohol addiction go away on its own?

    Most patients with true alcohol addiction require a trained highly experience physician to safely detox and not relapse. JJM READ MORE
