Pantothenic acid: This is a vitamin and from personal experience and the nutritional literature this seems to be the case.  Zinc supplementation might be another nutrient to try.  There do not seem to be any ubiquitous scientific reports of efficacy however. Maybe it has never been studied.

Accepted Answer

2nd opinion: Difficult to understand the meaning of " head not  stable" but excess fluid alone in ventricles does not seem to corelate with " head not stable".  Get 2nd.

Lexapro: It’s not a problem to restart this. A doctor is supervising this so you should have no issues but you must titration up again do not start at the dose you were on before.

Question 10

i had anal sex and 15 ish minutes later i had to run to the toilet because yellow watery liquid was coming out of me. there was a lot of it. ive never had this happen before and it was maybe two minutes of intercourse?

Accepted Answer

: I would assume that the intercourse with attendant irritation of rectal mucus membrane caused a discharge of mucus mixed with some watery stool. If there's no pain,blood or continued discharge of large amount of rectal mucus, I think you can sit tight at this time. See your physician for examination as needed.
