I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on medication for schizophrenia for the last two months. Initially, she was taking 1 Trinicalm Plus and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 1 Trinicalm Plus at night. They upped her dose after two weeks to 1 Trinicalm Plus and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 2 Trinicalm Pluses at night. Now they're saying she needs 2 Trinicalm Pluses and 1 Topirol 50 in the morning, and 2 Trinicalm Pluses with 1 Topirol 50 at night. I'm concerned because she's also dealing with obesity and high blood pressure. Does this sound okay to you?

I'm dealing with this anxiety thing, but it's mostly fine during the day. The issue is, for the last three nights, I've been having these heart palpitations. They last for about 5 or 6 seconds, and my heart suddenly starts racing. I'm just wondering, is this kind of thing normal when you have anxiety?

Yes, experiencing heart palpitations can be a common symptom of anxiety, especially if they occur during periods of stress or at night when your mind might be more focused on your worries. However, it is important to rule out any potential heart conditions.

I'm trying to understand if Librax is actually meant to help with sleeplessness. My friend told me her doctor prescribed it as a sleeping pill, and I'm a bit confused because I've never heard of it being used for that before. Is it common to use Librax for sleep issues, or could there be another reason the doctor might have recommended it?

No its not a sleeping pill,its used for stomach related issues
