Hello doctor, I am suffering from ocd since 22 years & on psychiatric medicines. My ocd is manageable now. I am on delok 30 mg + hexidol 0.75 mg + zolcalm 5 mg daily. Also I am working in rotational shift duties so to avoid drowsiness, keep alert, stay motivated in working hours my doctor prescribed modafinil 50 mg. Please advice is it safe to use zolcalm 5 mg (before sleep) & modafinil 50 mg daily (before work start) for long time. I am very worried & feels guilty that I am taking these medicines daily especially zolcalm & modafinil. I know these medicine dosage are in low quantity but also very concerned about long term use & its side effects. Will these medicines damage my brain or other physical or mental problems get creates in future. Your expert advise needed. Thank you!
