Fine

I am having Bipolar and medications already. I have one problem is "Ogling and Excessive looking at women" in general men and women looking each other is normal just few seconds. But mine is inapproiate. Anyone tell me how to come out of this issue

So sorry you're struggling with this. I think it's great that you're trying to get a handle on it. Sorry I don't know the solution. But I did think of a quick fix til you find the solution - could you wear sunglasses, so that people don't know you're ogling them? Do you think that would help? Also, do you know why you ogle? I mean, what need are you meeting? Is it because they are beautiful? Because you want more sex in your life? Because you are curious about women?

Hello, thanks for the support. When i Ogle, like in my mind sexual thoughts are running. When i ogle i will go into "Fantasy" like under their clothes how will be like that. If i am gng alone, as you said Sun Glass, if i will go to relative house, their i cant wear sun glass. Moreover now the big issue is my Daughter is 22 years old. We both go outside, i am doing the same stubid thing which is coming automatically and i could not control that habit.

@Mri, Thanks for your honest reply. If I’m understanding you correctly, here’s just my guess of what’s going on - Are you married or live with your sweetheart? If not, during covid, you can’t go out on dates. So you’re having no outlet for your natural sexual needs. Especially now that the weather is warmer, women are wearing less clothes, so that will stimulate more fantasizing. I wonder if your extra ogling is because of this combination of situations. If this sounds accurate, perhaps the first step would be to forgive yourself that you’re ogling. Then the second step would be to figure out how you can get more of your needs met without hurting anyone. Maybe go to a beach (wearing a mask and sitting 6 feet apart), wear sunglasses, and look at the women as much as you want and fantasize as much as you want? If you’re ok with masturbation, then maybe you could do more of that in the privacy of your bedroom?

Thanks for your reply. I got married and i have 22 years oldgirl. the "Ogling" was there when i was 28 yeras old, or before that. Even i got married also the behaviour was there. Now the time to correct.
I was taking following medicines for my Bipolar.
Sertaline 100mg 1-0-0
Lithium SR 400mg 1-0-1
Quitiapine 200mg 0-0-1
Alprozolam 0.5mg 0-0-1
Bcoz of covid-19, i consulted one Phychiastrist doctor thru Video Consultation. He suggested to increase the Medicine to increase the Serotine Level. The medicine dosage and combination changed
Lithium SR 1-0-1
Sertaline 150mg 0-0-1 (shifted from morning dosage to night)
Quitipine 300mg 0-0-1 (dosage increased from 200mg to 300mg)
Alprozolam 0.5mg 0-0-1
I read in Google, Sertaline and Quitipine if we take, there is a Heart rhythm problem will occur like that. I chkd with another Phychiatric doctor thru online, he advised dont believe the google, keep a faith with doctor, doctor will neve harm us like that he advised.
I have one more problem, early ejaculation may be that reason i am "Ogling" i dont know. So all confusing me a lot. Pls advise me if possible.

@Mri Hi again. Sorry you’ve been dealing with this problem for 28 years. I’m not a doctor, but here are a few suggestions that might help. If you’re concerned about the interaction of Sertraline and Quitapine, you can phone a pharmacist and ask. Pharmacists are trained to help people understand how drugs interact with each other, side effects, etc. They enjoy talking to patients about this, as it gives them a chance to be more helpful than just counting out pills into bottles. You can call a pharmacist anywhere - they don’t have to know you to give you info. Tell them all the meds you take and ask them.

Regarding the ogling, do you also have a talk therapist, or do you only have a psychiatrist for medications? If you don’t have a talk therapist, I think that would be important to help you stop the ogling.

Regarding premature ejaculation, I don’t know if that contributes to the ogling or not. It might help to know why you have p.e. Do you know why you have it? (i.e., is it related to a physical problem, or do you think it has more to do with emotions, thoughts, relationships, etc.?) Possibly the talk therapist can help you with that too. Best of luck.
