Unfortunately no such medicine to instantly get mood up. You can work with your psychiatrist and get the medications adjusted to optimal levels, so that, episodes of low mood are reduced further. Good luck. Â

Before going for sos medications, you can try basic lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and dietary changes. Exercise is associated with more release of endorphins, and therefore better response to medications. Start with 30 minute exercise everyday. Â

Dear sir, unfortunately there is no magic pill. But a few simple tricks I will share with you that you can do when you feel very sad and fearful - 1) jump into action-the moment you feel low either do 10 jumping jacks (do not do this if you have heart conditions or other physical issues in which you should not do physical activity, go for a walk outside your house. 2) look around ?name 5 things you can see around ?4 things you can feel (eg-wind blowing on skin, warmth of sunlight, I feel the chair i'm sitting on etc) ?3things you can hear ?2 things you can smell ?1 thing you can taste. Name it as sweet ,salty etc practising the above techniques can greatly help you lower sadness and fears. Hope my write up helps you. Â

Dear lybrate-user, if there is an instant cure, doctors would have given it to you long time back itself - instead of venlafaxine and oleanz plus. Please follow up with your psychiatrist. Adjusting the dose or adding a mood stabiliser or therapy, may prevent small recurrences. Â

1.Use Deep Breathing Deep breathing is another effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It helps you with physical symptoms such as shallow breathing and rapid heart rate, and it also helps with controlling your thoughts. When you practice deep breathing, you're forced to take your thoughts off of whatever is causing you anxiety and to focus on the breathing technique that you are using. 2.Keep A Journal Journaling can be an effective way to deal with your anxiety and to find relief. It helps you to take all of the things that are rolling around in your head and get them out of your head and down on paper. Sometimes seeing the things that we're worried about on paper can help us to see that they're not as big of a deal as we thought they were. It can also help us to find solutions that we have been overlooking. 3.Hang Out With Friends If you're struggling with anxiety, sometimes the last thing that you want to do is go hang out with your friends. Even if it's an activity that you enjoy with people that you like, the thought of it can be stressful. Your brain already feels overwhelmed with things that you feel you need to figure out, and it can seem like a bad use of time to do something fun. 4. Exercise, Find What Works For You : You might be tired of hearing about how great exercise is for your health. But, the reason you hear about it so much is that there's no way around it. Exercise it's good for both your physical body and for your mind.Getting regular exercise has been proven to help you sleep better at night, clear your head, and boost your mood. It's a great way to use up all that pent-up energy that you have in a way that's going to benefit you in multiple areas of your life.Â

You are being treated for a more serious condition. There is no quick fix for this. Besides I recommend that you mix therapy with the medication for best results. The treatment is long term and if you don't cooperate, it can stretch it longer. There are certain adaptations that will suit you during the elation phase and there are certain behaviors that are required during the depressed phases. In the meantime, you can do certain things that will give you benefits anyway. Emotional therapy will alleviate a lot of the problems faced in this condition because it is a mood disorder. You need to particularly look at your levels of anger both for its reasonableness and to express it in appropriate manner. I suspect that much of this anger may have origins in early childhood that you may never be aware of it now. Talk to your parents and explore that angle. This information will help the counselor too. Also you will need to check whether there is any genetic factor involved. You must exercise regularly, eat healthily and sleep normally too. If your motivation and cooperation is good much can be achieved. You must have a time-structured schedule filled with interesting and reasonable activities and it must be monitored for compliance and delivery. The reason I say this is that many times you will be inclined to have grandiose notions and confidently believe that you can do without the medication. This will set you back many months in the treatment and delay and sabotage the recovery: forewarned you are forearmed. If this combination of medication with therapy is maintained for at least three years without any episodes or breakdowns, it is possible to taper the medication in consonance with the doctor.Â
