I'm experiencing a very strange thing and I don't even know what it is but i'll try my best I used to feel nostalgic every time and I loved it but for the last 3 4 days i'm unable to feel nostalgic, I mean I remember everything but I can recall what it was being there. I'm unable to experience that nostalgia or feelings that I felt. I'm very disturbed by this. I was taking antidepressants lam 0.25 and desilam but I stopped them. I took some antidepressants in the past 2 3 years but not continuously. But this feeling is very strange. I was very stressed and talked to my Dr. and he said that take oleanz 2 mg so I took it but after taking that medication I was unable to stay awake. I felt sleepiness every time so I stopped it after doses. What should I do. Why am I experiencing this. Is this something serious? Is it because of my brain? What should I do. I also experience tics sometimes.

Dear lybrate-user, I can understand that you re having problems expressing yourself. But you definitely need to explain it a bit more. What exactly do you mean by nostalgia. At this point of time, I believe that you actually mean. Fantasy thinking. Which used to be enjoyable, but for the past few days, you re not able to indulge in fantasy thinking which disturbs you now, because reality is more oppressive than fantasy. If I am right, you definitely need a detailed evaluation for some psychological trauma from the past. You need a good psychotherapist. Best of luck.

Dear lybrate-user changes in only feeling is hardly amount to any diagnosis. Nostalgic feeling or not feeling may be determined by so many things within or around us. So don't be so concerned about it. However, if you feel sad persistently without any apperent reason with loss of energy or interest, or appetite changes are of concern. If such thing are not there, than worry not. Develop some hobbies to utilize your time, make a daily schedule and follow it, give some time for creativity. Be careful if you feel unusually energetic, irritability and decreased sleep.

You need to have a MRI brain and EEG done, If they are normal these symptoms need to be further probed and appropriate medication suggested. good luck

Dear Lybrate user you are using thyronorm, for hypothyroidism, lam, desilam and olanz for depression. Hypothyroidism can cause many neuropsychiatry symptoms like feeling sad, loss of pleasure, guilt, irritation, stress, anxiety, and panic attacks. In your case you lost pleasure in previously pleasurable things it seems or new onset of feeling sad. What ever it may be a symptom of depression only. You need to give detail history for clarification. Regarding next step in your case you should not stop lam, desilam without the advise of doctor continue olanz and ask your doctor to change the dose in view of sleepiness take cognitive behavioral therapy (counseling) along with medication so that symptoms may not reoccur.
