answer:Hello,Thanks for your question. The information you have provided is unfortunately not sufficient enough to comment upon.Are you are also suffering from any medical disease specially, Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity or has a previous history of any head trauma? Is there any significant family history of medical disease like Hypertension, Diabetes etc?On the basis of symptoms you have mentioned, you should consult ideally a neurologist or a physician to rule out any brain related problem which can cause these symptoms. Please feel free to discuss further if you have any other question.Kind regardsVikas
question:I live in south FW aqnd am seeing a therapist. Many of my problems have arisen from the problems associated from my 30 year old son who lives in Weatherford. After many months of talking about many of the problems, she suggested that he get help from a psychologist/therapist. She feels Borderline Personality woiuld be a starting point since he matches so many of the criteria. I am also looking for someone who does Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. He needs help as soon as possible. Can you or someone you know help?
answer:Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Borderline personality disorder does need dialectical behavioural therapy. You may contact your general practitioner who can guide you to a psychiatrist who does the DBT. Not all psychiatrists do DBT. Hence your GP would be the best person to have this knowledge that who does the DBT in your area.Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to know further about the same query, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy

answer:Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Klonopin is actually clonazepam and its meant to treat anxiety and insomnia. Its a sedative and hypnotic drug. Its nothing to do with the infections and its treatment.

question:I'm currently taking 45 mg Remeron, started 25 mg lamotrigine 5 days ago and am weaning off lexipro frl 20 to 10 mg. Am terribly depressed with anxiety. Lamotrigine makes me nauseous. Can I stay on the lexipro at 20 mg for awhile to see if depression and anxiety improve?
answer:Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.You are already on high dose remeron and and started lamotrigine 5 days ago. You may stay at 20 mg of escitalopram for a few days but with this combination there is an increased risk of serotonin syndrome. If while titrating the dose you may stay at 20 but meanwhile after some time, it would be preferable to stay only on remeron and lamotrigine. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to know further about the same query, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
question:I've been taking seroquel 100mg for almost a year now and I've noticed that it seems to not have the same effect as it used to. I've been having more trouble sleeping, and feeling increasingly like I did before I began taking it (extreme anger, impulsive, hyperactive, and extremely hostile). Does this mean the medication has stopped working or that I should increase the dosage?
answer:Hi,The dose of Seroquel that you are taking is low for the symptoms you have mentioned. You may be needing a dose hike but the best judge can only be your doctor as it needs to be seen what caused the present aggravation of symptoms. The extent of dose hike needed would also have to be decided as the dose range varies from 100 to 800 mg per day, with some people requiring even higher dosages. Your past history would also need to be taken into consideration. In my opinion, it will be better to discuss this issue with your doctor and not hike the dose yourself.Best wishes.
question:I have been crying I believe for good reason. I have a daughter with autisim but I told my doctor sometimes I just start crying and can t hold it back. He now wants to do a CT scan of my head. Is that to look for a tumor because of crying. I came home confused.
answer:Hi,It appears that your doctor understood that your crying spells are unprovoked and without any reason. This can be caused by brain tumors or other pathology in the brain. That is why he wants to rule out any brain pathology which can be responsible for this. So he suggested a Ct scan of your brain. If you cry only when you are sad and this sadness has been persistent and pervasive for the last few weeks, most likely you are suffering from a depressive episode. Please discuss this in detail with your doctor and do not withhold any information from him.Best wishes.
