Hi welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding medication ogf anxiety .
Dear ,I can understand your concern .
For your info , All medicines have many side effects , good or bad .
If we keep on gulping without any discrimination , we are heading towards
irreparable health situation .
First thing ,I would like to suggest , if you are nor getting benefitted by a prescription after using a medicine , just stop taking it and you should go to your doctor to discuss the situation , at large . If you are not satisfied , don't hesitate to get second opinion on your problem .
Secondly , you should try to find out the reason of your anxiety . You may be dehydrated or underfed or doing over exertion .
Your life style , lack of energy , stress and food you are taking may be responsible for your present situation .
IF so , gulping on only medicines will not help much , Modification will be the best option .
Right balanced diet , at right time and right quantity , regularly , regular exercise , yoga -pranayam - deep breathing Inhale - Hold - Exhale - Hold 10- 15 times , sleep at right time . Hydrate yourself well .
Lemon juice with a spoon of honey in a glass of water will give you instant energy . Repeat every hour .
Euoptorium Perforatum 30 / 1 drop in a table spoon / twice a day will help alley pains of your age
Avoid fast ,fried foods ,smoking ,sleeplessness , worry , constipation
socialising , reading will give orientation to your brain & shun your status of anxiety .
If problem persists consult a Competent doctor .
Hope this helps solve your query . wish you all the best
