What Causes Mood Swing And Lack Of Mental Alertness?
Hi,
I am Thushar Saseendran, from Kochin. I am 22 years of age. I have been carrying a problem around for the past year.
I have been having trouble with my mood, physical energy level and mental alertness for a while now. The problem started when I consumed water from a bottle containing some drugs at a party by mistake. An hour or two after that I started feeling extremely happy and elevated. My body and mind was filling up with energy and I felt very sensitive to feelings at that point. There were other symptoms such as chattering teeth too. It took around six or seven hours for the effects to subside.
The next day I felt very depressed nd weak. Since then I have been noticing many things wrong with my body and mind. I have listed many of the symptoms in the next mail. (as there is no space left to write).

Hi, thank you for using health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most of the time symptoms due to some substance(illicit drug) usally resolve in one month or before that.
The way you described symptoms after drug , suggest some kind of stimulus drug or cannabis. Post intoxication these drugs usally produce low mood and weakness. So many times not to worry about this symptoms it will get resolved in one month.
If you are feeling these low mood for around 15 days and substance use was before one month than consult a psychiatrist, you might need an antidepressant in this condition.
I hope this will help you.
regards.
