Lorazepam + Quetiapine 100 mg जैसी दवाएँ लंबे समय तक लेने पर बुज़ुर्गों में confusion बढ़ा सकती हैं memory और खराब कर सकती हैं उल्टा agitation/भ्रम भी बढ़ सकता है नींद पर भी असर कम हो जाता है (tolerance बन जाता है) –यह स्थिति शरीर में विशेषकर ‘वात दोष’ के असंतुलन और उम्र बढ़ने के कारण मस्तिष्क की कमजोरी (धातु क्षय) से जुड़ी हो सकती है। इसलिए नींद कम आना, भूलना और भ्रम जैसी समस्या हो रही है। –Diagnosis (Nidana): Vata Vriddhi with Smriti Bhramsha / Nidranasha —Rx: 1) Tab Mentate – 1 tab BD after food 2) Saraswatarisht – 20 ml with equal water, BD after meals 3) Ashwagandhadi Lehyam – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk -Medhya Rasayana advised —Panchakarma Abhyanga (oil massage) with Ksheerabala taila Shirodhara (Ksheerabala / Brahmi taila) Nasya therapy ------ all for 7 days —Pathya (Advice): Regular sleep routine, calm environment Warm, light, easily digestible diet Avoid stress, excessive stimulation

आपकी माँ की स्थिति में जो लक्षण हैं—नींद न आना, भूलना, पुरानी बातें बार-बार बोलना—यह अधिकतर लंबे समय तक ली गई नींद की दवाओं (benzodiazepine/antipsychotic) के कारण mind confusion + Vata imbalance जैसा प्रभाव दिखाता है। मुख्य दवाएँ जैसे Lorazepam और Quetiapine लंबे समय में कुछ लोगों में: याददाश्त कमजोर करना भ्रम या पुरानी बातों में अटकना नींद की प्राकृतिक क्षमता घटाना आयुर्वेदिक दृष्टिकोण 1. दवाएँ अचानक बंद न करें (बहुत महत्वपूर्ण) इन दवाओं को अचानक रोकने से स्थिति और बिगड़ सकती है। 2. मानसिक शांति और स्मृति के लिए आयुर्वेद Brahmi cap – दिमाग को शांत कर याददाश्त में मदद Jatamansi – प्राकृतिक नींद और चिंता कम करने में उपयोगी 3. सरल घरेलू उपाय रात को गुनगुना दूध + हल्की जायफल सर और पैरों की हल्की तेल मालिश (तिल का तेल) दिन में थोड़ी धूप और हल्की टहल 4. जीवनशैली सुधार सोने और उठने का एक निश्चित समय दिन में ज्यादा सोना बंद करें शांत, हल्का और परिचित वातावरण रखें

Hello, यह सुनकर वाकई काफी चिंता होती है, पर आप अकेले नहीं हैं। शुगर और बीपी की दवाओं के लंबे समय तक सेवन और उम्र के साथ शरीर में ‘वात’ दोष बढ़ जाता है, जिससे नींद और याददाश्त (Dementia/Confusion) जैसी समस्याएं आती हैं। ​जब नींद की गोलियां (Lorazepam/Quetiapine) काम करना बंद कर दें और वो पुरानी बातें या मरे हुए लोगों को देखने लगें, तो इसे आयुर्वेद में ‘उन्माद’ या ‘स्मृतिभ्रंश’ की अवस्था माना जाता है। ​यहाँ Kerala Ayurveda के कुछ प्रभावी सुझाव दिए गए हैं: ​ Ayurveda Medicines & Dosage ​Kalyanaka Gritham: यह मानसिक स्पष्टता और बेहतर नींद के लिए सबसे अच्छी दवा है। ​Dose: 1 चम्मच (5-10ml) हल्के गरम पानी के साथ खाली पेट सुबह और रात को सोते समय। ​Brahmi Ghritham: याददाश्त बढ़ाने और नसों को शांत करने के लिए। ​Dose: 1 चम्मच शाम को सोते समय (इसे कल्याणक घृत के साथ भी लिया जा सकता है)। ​Manasamitra Vatakam: यह गहरी नींद और भ्रम (delusions) को कम करने के लिए स्वर्ण-युक्त आयुर्वेदिक टैबलेट है। ​Dose: 1 टैबलेट रात को सोने से पहले दूध के साथ। ​Ksheerabala Thailam (For Shiroabhyanga): नींद के लिए सिर और पैर के तलवों पर इस तेल की मालिश करें। ​Dhanwantharam Thailam: पूरे शरीर की मालिश के लिए, जिससे वात शांत हो और शरीर का दर्द कम हो। ​ क्योंकि आपकी मां पहले से ही Lorazepam और Quetiapine जैसी Heavy Dose ले रही हैं, आप इन एलोपैथिक दवाओं को एकदम बंद न करें। आयुर्वेदिक दवाएं शुरू करने से पहले एक बार उनके डॉक्टर या किसी अनुभवी Ayurvedic Physician से जरूर मिलें, क्योंकि दवाओं के ‘Interaction’ और शुगर लेवल की निगरानी करना बहुत जरूरी है।
