Disease Explanation

thumbnail.sv

A migraine is a condition which characterizes intense throbbing or pulsing headache, usually on one side of the head. It can last for hours or even days and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Neuropathic pain is caused by malfunctioning or damaged nerve fibers in the nervous system, affecting peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and brain. Damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to pain centers, causing central sensitization.

I have been taking Ambival for depression since a week and recently I have been wanting to harm myself. What should I do? Is it because of the medicine?

You should immediately consult your doctor or go to the hospital. Your suicidal tendencies may have increased because of your disease or the medicine. Generally, Ambival takes about 2 weeks to show its effect but may take longer. Therefore, when you start taking Ambival, you may have thoughts about killing or harming yourself. This is more common in people who previously had suicidal tendencies or are young adults (less than 25 years old). However, the effect of medicine is different for every individual.

If the dose exceeds, you may develop drowsiness, confusion, difficulty in speech, dry mouth, tiredness, difficulty in walking, fever, difficulty in breathing, blue discoloration of the skin and decreased heartbeat. Your pain may not be relieved because Ambival takes about 2 weeks to show its effect, but it may take longer in some cases. The duration of treatment can differ from individual to individual. Consult your doctor if your symptoms are not relieved.

How long does Ambival take to work?

You may see an improvement in your symptoms after a couple of weeks, although it usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks before you feel the benefits. Do not stop taking Ambival after 1 or 2 weeks just because you feel it is not helping your symptoms. Give the medicine at least 6 weeks to work.

Take your medicines as prescribed even if you start feeling better.

Can the use of Ambival affect my sex life?
