Suicide, taking your own life, is a tragic reaction to stressful life situations ? and all the more tragic because suicide can be prevented. Suicidal thoughts have many causes. Most often, suicidal thoughts are the result of feeling like you can't cope when you're faced with what seems to be an overwhelming life situation. If you don't have hope for the future, you may mistakenly think suicide is a solution. Reach out to a friend or a confidante who you feel comfortable talking to. You may get a different perspective about what is bothering you. If you feel there is no one, seek a professional. A psychiatrist or psychotherapist can help you explore the reasons and guide you regarding managing your issues. Effective treatment options are available.
I m taking rexipra 5 Twice a day. Is not it bad for health?
Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan
Psychiatry
Whether a medicine will have a side effect or not depends on how the individual body reacts to it. It requires proper follow up with the prescribing doctor. Based on your clinical history, your doctor plans the type of medicine and it's dose and duration. For first episode of anxiety/ depression/ panic, the usual maintenance phase is 6 months of asymptomatic period, after which medicines can be gradually tapered. But treatment may need to continue longer depending on severity and frequency of episodes. To take any decision to change medication or stop them, several factors have to be taken in account for which regular follow up with your psychiatrist is important. For second opinion, seek a proper consultation with another psychiatrist and take along your previous prescriptions.
