Last night, a friend left a message saying that he had been taking medicine for three months for anxiety disorder, and he always felt dizzy and weak, palpitated and tight, and felt all kinds of discomfort in his body, and felt that the medicine was more serious, and asked me what was going onI'm going to answer this question today, I'm Xia Haitao, director of the Department of Psychiatry, if you have mental and psychological problems, you can also talk to me. In fact, there may be 3 problems with the symptoms of anxiety disorders during the period of taking medicine:
1. The drug is not symptomatic, or the physical anxiety and mental disorders in addition to anxiety are not considered, resulting in unsatisfactory symptom control.
2. The doctor underestimated the patient's condition or gave the best plan not enough, and did not have enough and sufficient course of treatment, so that the symptoms were not well controlled.
3. The patient's compliance is low, and the patient feels better and stops the drug without authorization, resulting in the recurrence of the condition, and some drugs also have a strong withdrawal reaction, and the anxiety symptoms plus the withdrawal reaction make the patient doubly painful.
Most of the unsatisfactory conditions of the drug are related to the above three reasons, so when you find that you have not been effective after taking the drug for more than one to two months, you must find your doctor for a follow-up visit. You can also talk to me.
