I am a 29-year-old male.
Since childhood, I have had severe focus problems and I cannot sit still (I keep walking/pacing).
About 4 years ago, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with ADHD. ADHD medicines did not work well for me.
I have been trying meditation for the last 6 months, but I still cannot focus on my breath for more than 1–2 seconds. There is no improvement.
I am planning to take L-theanine (200–400 mg) about 1 hour before meditation, only for initial days, to help me focus, and then stop.
Is this a good idea?
What is the recommended starting dose?
Any better or safer alternative you suggest?
Looking for expert medical advice. Thank you.
Sirs

Echo done, Diastolic Dysfunction Grade I diagnosed. Due to this Fear I have Successfully left alcohol totally and noticed Now there is no Breathing Problem At All even if I Walk 3 to 4 km.
BUT After leaving alcohol, I was Suffering from Depression, Sadness and Gloomy. One M.D.(Psychiatrist) Doctor advised Sertraline 50 od, Desvenlafaxine 50 bd, Lurasidone 40 od.
I am also taking - Arbitel Trio 50 Od - Dapanorm 10 ODPC - Nafrosave 500 BDPC - Roseday F 20 ODHS
- Linvas 4 ODHS

29. Male. 5'6". 74 kg. Currently taking paliperidone 150 mg monthly depot.
I overdosed on etizolam last year. Doctor had prescribed it as SOS medicine. I thought taking all the pills might cure my condition as I had felt better last time I took a newly prescribed medication.
So long story short I was hospitalized after the overdose. My doctor says during my hospitalization my dopamine shot up as I had gotten aggressive. He put me on paliperidone 75 mg depot on which I am still on to this day.
My question was should a medicine be started for life when symptoms have been present in as acute situation as an overdose. Shouldnt things like paradoxical reaction or dopamine shoot after acute overdose should be considered before diagnosing me with positive symptoms of schizophrenia?
Hello doctors, for the longest time, I've had health anxiety- like around 2-3 years. It's particularly bad about cancer as I always fear having it. My fear of cancer was formed when my friend's grandfather died of cancer and one of my favorite YouTubers died of cancer as well. Im especially scared of breast cancer and it's so bad that I cant even wash my chest without feeling scared of touching a lump. I did consult a doctor for a physical check up this year and she said I have no lumps and Im all clear, but the fear still persists. Googling symptoms makes it worse. Please advise what to do
I am male 27 years old. About 4 weeks ago I had dryness in mouth for few hours. After that 5 days it was completely normal. After those 5 days I am having constant dryness in my mouth. I drink 2-3 litres everyday since this symptom. All my blood reports like diabetes and thyroid are normal. I took appointment with 2 general physician and 1 ENT. All they told me that it is related to stress and ignore it. But it is difficult to ignore. I get more anxious about it. I google everytime and get frustrated when dryness does not go away. I am only taking vitamin d3 and b medications.
Is this quite common that dryness of mouth to constant stress?
