Health Queries

I have been prescribed Qutan 25 Tablet, Lamez 25 Tablet, and Nexito 5 Tablet for mood disorders, but I am experiencing anger. Can you suggest a calming medication?

Dr. S Aneela

Anger may occur with mood disorders or as a side effect of your current medicines, so adding a calming tablet on your own is not advisable. You should consult your psychiatrist, who may adjust your medications or recommend therapies such as low-dose benzodiazepines, cognitive behavioural therapy, or counselling to manage anger safely.

I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for two years. My recent doctor suggested Dulot 20 Capsule and Qutan 25 Tablet. Qutan makes me very sleepy, and I experience significant drowsiness the following day. What should I do?

Qutan 25 Tablet (Quetiapine) may cause significant sleepiness and next-day drowsiness, which can affect daily functioning. Please do not stop it abruptly on your own. You should inform your doctor, who may reduce the dose, change the timing, or replace it with a less sedating alternative if the problem continues.
