I've been prescribed petril beta 10 for my anxiety, and I'm wondering if it's safe to take it regularly and for a long period. If it's not recommended, are there any other medications for anxiety besides SSRIs? I've tried escitalopram and paroxetine before, but they make me feel really sedated.

I'm really concerned about the effects of masturbation and I'm curious about how I can stop it. I've been doing it for the past two years and it's starting to feel like an addiction. Can you help me understand more about this?

Masturbation is a natural activity, but if it feels like an addiction and interferes with daily life, it can have emotional and psychological effects, such as guilt, anxiety, or reduced energy. To reduce or stop, its important to focus on healthy coping mechanisms, like exercise, hobbies, and managing stress, while seeking support from a counselor or therapist if needed.
