Pseudoseizures, also called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, are triggered by stress or emotional factors rather than brain electrical activity. Management involves psychological support, therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy, stress reduction, and sometimes medications for anxiety or depression. You should consult a doctor or mental health specialist to create a personalised treatment plan.

Yes, it is safe to receive the Covishield vaccine while taking Daxid (sertraline) and Antidep (imipramine). There are no known interactions between the vaccine and these medications. It is very important that you do not stop or alter your daily doses of Daxid or Antidep. For precautions, ensure you are well-hydrated and rested on the day of your vaccination. Normal, temporary side effects like mild fever, body aches, or soreness at the injection site can be managed with paracetamol. Please consult your doctor if you have any active infections or severe allergies before getting vaccinated.

Daxid (sertraline) can sometimes cause stomach upset, especially when starting, which can quickly lead to dehydration and fatigue. Please focus on sipping plenty of fluids, like water or an oral rehydration solution, to help regain your strength. It is very important that you do not stop taking Daxid suddenly, as this can cause other unwanted symptoms. Please contact your prescribing doctor today to let them know how you are feeling. They can safely guide you on managing these side effects or adjusting your treatment plan.

Taking Zotral and Daxid for OCD for eight years can be safe if your symptoms are well-controlled and your doctor regularly monitors you. Long-term use is everyday for OCD, but periodic check-ups are important to assess effectiveness, side effects, and overall health.

While tapering off Daxid (sertraline) can cause temporary sensory shifts, and starting Topaz (topiramate) can occasionally affect your eyes, suddenly seeing flashing lights is a symptom that needs prompt attention. This can sometimes be related to your migraines themselves, but it is very important to rule out any changes to your retina. Please contact an eye specialist or seek immediate medical evaluation to have your eyes safely checked.

Since you are still taking nightly clonazepam, a key long-term strategy is partnering with your doctor to very gradually taper it, as long-term use can sometimes worsen anxiety over time.

Daily mindfulness and gentle exercise can also help soothe your nervous system.
