i read the labels and texted shrh asking what the drugs were for. immediately i got her reply text asking who was seeing a shrink.

the drugs and what they are for:

stilnox (zolpidem) - to solve sleeping problem

lexapro (escitalopram) - for treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder.

propanolol - for thyroid or to control blood pressure

lexapro (escitalopram) - for treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder.

xanax (alprazolam) - to treat anxiety and panic disorder.

fluanxol (flupentixol) - for depression, with or without anxiety

notes:

• these drugs have been prescribed in stages for someone i know


• he suddenly changed...from a positive, confident and enthusiastic person to someone totally opposite.


• these are what have happened....on regular basis he wakes up after one or two hour sleep at two or three in the morning, feels cold but sweats, heart beats at faster rate, mentally and emotionally out of focus, obsessively worries about work and life (have become a burden he cannot handle yet cannot ignore), loses appetite tremendously, thinks about death and is extremely afraid (has not done enough for life at the other side and has not much to leave behind for the people under his care), is easily annoyed and fed up with noises (people asking him of his condition), etc....


• it has been more than one month and he has shown no sign of improvement.


• we have been trying to accomodate him in this poor physical, mental and emotional condition wherever possible.


• ...O Allah! please help him as only You have the means.
