I have been clinically depressed for many years and have been taking 150 mg of Doxepin and 1 mg of Xanax at night, which worked well. My German doctor suggested switching to 50 mg of Doxepin and 30 mg of Remeron, but I am currently taking 2.5 mg of Xanax with 150 mg of Doxepin due to anxiety and poor sleep. I am concerned about the Xanax and want to know the safest way to taper off it and add Remeron. What should I do with the Doxepin, and can you suggest a safe regimen for the next 7 days?

My husband has had an elevated RDW in his last two blood profiles. In 2021, it was 15, and it has been 17 since. All other values were normal, including B12. He is a beer drinker and has been donating double red blood cells three times a year for the last two years. He is experiencing symptoms such as being easily winded, breathless when bending over, and sometimes dizzy. He has a history of heart issues, including aortic valve replacement, coronary artery bypass, and an aortic aneurysm repair. Does this condition ever correct itself, and should he stop donating blood?

If I take 2 Dramamine pills every day to sleep, could this have any long-term effects or consequences on my body? Also, sometimes my throat hurts, but it's different from flu pain and seems to be more pronounced during anxiety. What could be the possible causes of this and what can I do about it?

I have been experiencing recurring abdominal pain in my lower abdomen and very soft and foul-smelling stools for the past 5 days. Every time I eat something, I have to go to the toilet an hour later due to stomach ache. I also wake up in the middle of the night with an extreme urge to defecate and extreme stomach pain, but no real diarrhea. What could be causing these symptoms?
