Hello
Welcome to XXXXXXX
I have read your question and I can understand your problem. You are a 24 year old female with anxiety problems. The nausea and other symptoms occur more while socializing. You have taken Deanxit for that for about 1.5 years.
See this type of anxiety (what it appears from symptoms you have mentioned) is quite common. Increased anxiety while socializing or talking to some one is related to like anxiety while speaking to some big person, anxiety while speaking to a group of people, anxiety in group discussion etc are seen.
Although the drug Deanxit can control the situation but this is not the definitive treatment. A number of other drugs especially of SSRI group like Sertaline, Escitalopram are very useful in such condition. The drugs should be taken for at least 3-6 months in order to see improvement.
Some other drugs like low dose benzodiazepines just before the anxiety provoking situation as Etizolam, Clonazepam are very useful. They should be taken under proper prescription only.
Other drug Propranolol is also a very useful drug for social anxiety. The drug is to be taken in anxiety situations only and has very good results. The drug is devoid of serious side effects and it is free of dependence potential. You can visit a Psychiatrist for proper drug therapy.
Apart from medicine try relaxation methods like breathing exercises, yoga to relax yourself and to increase your confidence.
Hope this helps you, if you have more questions you can ask again.
Thanks
