Dear lybrate-user,
if you have stopped ocd medicine, it will not have any sexual side effect. Your doctor has diagnosed your sexual problem and prescribed megalis. No one can become an addict to megalis or coverta. It is drug used only at the time of sexual activity. Please talk to your doctor about the diagnosis of sexaul problems in you. If it is a lifelong problem, you can go on taking provided you don't have any contraindication to megalis. Most probably, it may be a temporary problem. Y...more

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people's difficulties, and so change the way they feel. The treatment depends on the problem. Because each goal is taken separate, complete cure could take time. But goal oriented approach, each goal can be achieved around 4 to 6 weeks. Tak...more

At +2 time I started reading myself and started changing my behaviour but still I couldn't achieve the same. Now I am not that much introvert as before but still my behavioural skills are bad. I always fails to keep my relationships alive and making or interacting with people in a new place. Also fails to talk to someone for a long time. I would like to change this attitude but couldn't do that. Please help me to become more social.

It is good that you understand yourself so well and are trying to gain insight into yourself and seek help. I feel half of your battles is won already. Try and analyse yourself every now and then, pracitice some communication skill programs, inculcate them in your daily life and see how far you can go from there. To become social you need to stop worrying and just start enjoying company of other people.

First of all engage yourself in some strenous physical activities like gym or brisk walking. Also take right kind of food. And finally enjoy some soothing music based in your likings. Do these activities for 1 month. And see the difference. You don't need any medicine as of now.

I hope you're keeping well. I understand that you have been diagnosed with adhd and are currently taking ritalin, but it's not giving you the desired results.
There are indeed other amphetamine-based medications available in india, such as adderall, but I would advise caution when considering such alternatives. While they can indeed be effective for some individuals, they also come with their own set of side effects, and their misuse can lead to serious health complications.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user
sorry to note your kid's condition. But you obviously try good authentic homeopathy treatment which can cover physical and mental developments. But behavioral therapy should go alongside. It may take time, but we should give utmost attempt to make the kid self dependent in future.

Asked for male, 19 years old from Allahabad

Non-stimulant for adhd? I am 19m and I had diagnosed with adhd 3 month my psychiatrist gave me starttera 6 mg and said to eat half a tablet for 14 days. After 14 days, no improvement so he increased dose to 18 mg full tablet this time. He said to eat it for 14 days. No major improvement also this time, he said to eat the same meds for 21 days. I was losing few minor improvements that I had got earlier from using it. After that he prescribed the same again for 1 month. Now, I am currently on 14th day of current one month period, with no major improvement. I forgot to add, I also have issues with my sleep and anxiety disorder. And I also, be autistic. He had given me 2.5 mg melatonin for sleep. I even, tried to ask what issue I have, is it adhd/autism. He stopped me saying that what you want, you want to be treated easily, early with less meds. Or you want to forever dependant on drug and visit me regularly. He was even against my habit of searching/trying to know what meds I am taking, what issue I have from web or any other source, even from the doc himself. What! fews day ago, my gi doc gave me amitriptyline for anxiety with ppi and multi vitamin, minerals antioxidants tablets, because he was suspecting anxiety is the main cause of my gerd issue. Tbh, my gi doc meds were much more effective for my mental health than my psychiatrist. English isn't my native, sorry for that. Haha. Even I suck at my native language. Current meds addvitamin max tablets afternoon, benztre-d 20 mg morning empty stomach, triplet-10 10 mg 2 times a day, altonil plus 5 (5 mg) at night, axepta-18 (18 mg) morning. It also includes my adhd, gerd and anxiety meds.

Do not stop the medication abruptly. It will have bad withdrawal symptoms. With the advise of Dr. Step by step reduce the medicine. You may tell your complaints mentioned here to Dr. Too. Meanwhile, please start doing yoga, and go for cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety. Yoga, meditation and therapies work out beautifully to come out of this situation. All the best.

There is no proven science or method that can do that, it is all waste of time and money frankly. I strongly suggest to spend time with your child if you want to know what is going on in their hear and mind - it can be eating together, walking, watching tv. It will not happen in 1 day or 1 week, be patient it will happen when he/she starts talking to you and start sharing what is in his/her mind and heart.
Most important: give time to him/her, make sure you listen when they speak what ever i...more
