I'm really worried about my brother being prescribed this paternia tablet. What exactly is it usually given for? And should we be on the lookout for any side effects while he's taking it?

I'm dealing with bouts of anxiety, and it seems like even the smallest things can set it off, making my heart race. I'm currently taking Panazep LS at night and Buspin 10 twice a day. Do you have any advice on how I can better manage these anxiety symptoms?

Severe itching and cysts can be distressing and embarrassing. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Folliculitis_: Inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by bacterial or fungal infections. 2. _Keratosis pilaris_: A skin condition characterized by rough, dry patches and ingrown hairs. 3. _Seborrheic dermatitis_: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy patches. 4. _Cysts_: Blocked pores or ingrown hairs can cause cysts. _Home Remedies and Self-Care_ 1. _Exfoliate regularly_: Gently exfoliate the affected area with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. _Keep the area clean_: Wash the affected area with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. _Apply warm compresses_: Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to the affected area to help bring the cyst to a head and encourage drainage. 4. _Avoid scratching_: Try to resist scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and infection. _Medical Treatments_ 1. _Topical creams or ointments_: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil may help alleviate symptoms. 2. _Oral antibiotics_: If the cysts are infected, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to help clear the infection. 3. _Minor surgical procedures_: In some cases, your doctor may recommend minor surgical procedures, such as draining the cyst or removing it entirely.

I'm a bit worried about the medication my GP prescribed. They've suggested I take Lonazep .5 every day for a month, plus Lonazep .25 in the morning for 10 days. I'm just concerned about whether this will cause any addiction or if I'll experience withdrawal symptoms when I stop. Does this sound okay to you?

Yes you can take, follow your doctor advice

I'm really anxious right now... I attempted suicide last night, but it didn't work, and now I'm feeling even more depressed. It's mostly because of this sexual issue I'm dealing with, you know, erectile dysfunction. I've never told my parents about this, and I really can't imagine leaving them alone. What should I do?

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, but I'm unable to provide the support you need. It's important to reach out to someone who can, like a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life. Please know that there are people who care about you and want to help you through this.
