Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
Important aspects of your query are:
• 23 year old male
• Currently on Bupron XL 150mg and Prodep 20mg.
• H/O: wt gain and sexual problems with medicines (Rexipra and fludac)
• Complaints of forgetfulness, poor concentration, blank spells, poor judgement, difficulty in planning/completing task, difficulty in talking on phone/talking with eye to eye contact.
Considering your history the more probable cause of your suffering is
social anxiety. Anxiety also lead to poor attention and concentration which leads to symptoms like: forgetfulness, blank spells, poor judgement and difficulty in planning/completing task
Other symptoms of anxiety which may or may not be present in your case:
nervousness,
restlessness, mild irritability, excessive worry regarding own health, tremor, muscle spasm, heaviness in body, easy fatigability, headache, sleep disturbance,
palpitation and
dry mouth.
As you are having poor response to treatment with sexual side effects then some of the following steps will be helpful for you:
-Detection and correction of
vitamin deficiency (especially vitamin D/B12): Get vitamin assay done and take vitamin supplement and fruits/milk in diet. Addition of multivitamins like Cap Vibrania-D one capsule in the morning will be helpful.
-Screening of thyroid dysfunction: Get serum T3/T4 and
TSH level done
-SSRI medicines (like rexipra and prodep) can cause weight gain and sexual side effects (in 10-20%) cases. But these side effects are reversible. So do not worry about them, as they will cure soon. Same time stop rexipra and prodep. Following medicines do not cause sexual side effects and can be preferred in your case: Bupron xl, mirtaz, Buspin.
-Use the medicine in maximum doses. Medicine used to show effect after 4-6 weeks of continuous use. Hope in your case medicine had been used for sufficient duration (6 week) in maximum doses before changing to other medicines. Optimum dose for Bupron XL is 300mg per day. Bupron even reverse the sexual side effects of rexipra and prodep in many cases.
Although I can understand your concern, but we can advise medicine on online platform. As you are in Delhi ncr you can meet me personally in Gurgaon. Same time let me know about meaning of CONSUMPTION Problem.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
