I take modafinil 100 early morning, fluoxetine 60, propranolol 20, alprazolam 0.5 in the morning and desvenlafaxine 50, aripiprazole 5 in the evening for anxiety, depression, ocd, social anxiety, sleepiness during day time, low confidence & concentration etc. Now I feeling little headache & forgetfulness. What should I do?

Dear Keshav, Little headache is common for any person. Please treat it as passing cloud. i don't know your age. Again forgetfulness is common at any age. I need to know the causes for forgetfulness - it may be due to poor concentration itself, or maybe you give less importance to that particular subject, etc. Please inform how much these forgetfulness interfere with your life.

The forgetfulness can be due to cognitive deficits of the illness or medication, you need to consult your treating psychiatrist to address these issues. Good luck.

Do sports (at home, if you feel more confortable) but 3x 30min/week. Eat more greens, oilseeds, fresh fruits and food rich in magnesium such as: raw spinach, fish, beans, lentils, avocados, brown rice, bananas, figs and chocolate. If you have a pet, cuddle with it more often and take care of it. It will make you shift your focus from anxiety to something else. Try to catch the sun everyday for 10mins. Check your levels of vit D and B12 (adjust with supplements if needed). Yoga, you can find plenty of stuff online. Mindfulness meditation, it?s not hard, stick to it. When you feel anxiety, let it come, don?t fight against it. Take deep breath (inhale for 6 seconds, hold for 2, exhale for 6. Do it again). Just observe how tense and how bad you feel over nothing. Meditation can help to stand back. Sleep enough (7 to 9hours/night). Quit smoking and avoid drinking alcohol. Smile. Smiling, even for nothing, tricks the mind and releases happy hormones. Learn to manage your anxiety, it?s always going to be there because it?s a normal mechanism of protection but don?t let it rule you anymore. You are not alone.
