Dear Lybrate user whenever a psychiatrist prescribes the medicines, they do it based on your symptoms or condition. One cannot by themselves change or tweak the dosage. Also, these medicines do impact your sleeping and activity levels. Hence, it is recommended to follow lifestyle changes for better outcomes. Please follow a sleep hygiene routine. You need to declutter your sleeping area. Take a good bath before you sleep. Step - 1, calm down before your sleep - follow belly breathing and do some calming meditation. Step - 2, switch your phone to airplane mode so you can?t hear incoming messages, and remove all devices from your bedroom so you?re not tempted to reach for them before going to sleep or during the night. Step - 3, choose a nourishing novel that sets you up for sweet dreams rather than any heavy or disturbing reading material. Alternatively, inspiring biographies or affirmative self-help books can also get you in a restorative mood. You can also try increasing physical activity in your schedule like running, jogging, yoga, cycling, etc. Try following this routine regularly, slowly you will start experiencing changes in your life. It is also recommended that you seek counseling to get rid of anxiety-provoking thoughts and feelings and to develop healthy coping mechanisms. If things still persist you may reach out to us.
