I am 21 years old, was having anxiety issues. Went to a psychologist who referred me to a psychiatrist saying that I have ocd. Went to a renowned psychiatrist. Jst by seeing the psychologist report and asking some questions prescribed me with:- inspiral, flocin plus and pexup. I took these medicines for 2 days and started feeling very lethargic. I immediately stopped and google abt their side effects which were terrifying. And somehow I feel that they have affected me badly. I was not able to gv my exams well .went completely blank seeing the paper. It?s been 2 months now but I still feel that I cannot connect with people. Sometimes get completely lost. Please advise that does taking these medicines only for 2 days effect a person or am I jst over thinking. Waiting for your advice desperately.

Taking the psychiatric medications for two days will not have lasting effects on how your condition reacts. The fact that you were not made aware of the side effects or told that you might need to tolerate some adverse effects for a couple of days before things start looking up is the problem with the medications. I believe that your anxiety has many causes and that your problems are related to your not wanting to get treated for your problems with medications and your anxiety just rises if they do not work instantly or have adverse effects. Medications usually help and I suggest that you should consult another psychiatrist to get help. Look forward to hearing from you.
