Hi Ms Cummings,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can certainly understand your concern worry about your problem that you are suffering ....But I would like to know some more information about your worry and behavior....It seems that you are.compelled to go to ladies room frequently ....Is it some repeated thought bothering you?....Are you not able to control that behavior? Then it could be probably obsessive compulsive disorder ie OCD...If so ,you can start SSRIs like fluoxetine in the morning as it disrupts your sleep if you take in the night time.

The dosage you can start with 20 mg and can increase depending on your response after 2 weeks. You can consult your Psychiatrist for further help



Post your further questions if any, I will available to take up your follow up questions

Thank you
