1. Adverse drug reaction [ADR] is increase in weight, also one has to be particular concerned as it also causes thyroid problems and disturbed liver function tests.

2. avoid caffeine found in coffee,tea,chocolate,colas, take dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime and avoid foods that cause indigestion. [spicy-heavy- junk food]

3. take banana, black grapes, orange, spinach, ginger, tomatoes, curd, take diet rich in vitamin C (Citrus fruits) and vitamin E (sunflower seeds, almonds, apricots, peanuts) which are rich in anti oxidants.

4. brahmi vati, sarphagandha ghan vati, ashwagandha arishta, sarasvta arishta are good and result oriented medicine/prescription for you.
