ज़ुक्लोपेंथिक्सोल लेते समय डिटॉक्स के लिए कौन-कौन सी जड़ी-बूटियाँ उपयोगी हैं? - #49540

Hello I get how scary and draining it is to feel like you’re losing yourself while on strong psychiatric meds – feeling numb, sleeping all the time, and waking up tired. You’re not weak at all. This is a common side effect of Zuclopenthixol, and Ayurveda can help you manage it safely. YOUR CONCERN: –Age: Not specified Main issues: –Taking Zuclopenthixol for 1–3 months –Diagnosed with bipolar, but feels more like complex PTSD –Sleeping a ton (12–14 hours) –Emotionally numb and like a zombie –Mentally foggy –Totally exhausted –Stress makes things worse –Appetite is pretty normal –You want to know how to detox and get better naturally while still on this medication. AYURVEDIC VIEW: Zuclopenthixol is a really heavy, sedating drug that messes with your Kapha and Tamas. From an Ayurvedic point of view, it –Slows down your metabolism –Causes drug residue to build up –Kapha blocks channels in your brain –Stagnates your energy This leads to: –Sleeping too much –Feeling emotionally dead –No motivation –Foggy brain –Weak digestion –Feeling not alive –Your trauma (PTSD) is linked to Vata, but the drug has pushed you into Kapha-Tamas, which makes you feel dull instead of helping you heal. So, the plan is to: –Gently get rid of drug toxins –Protect your liver and brain –Get your energy and clarity back –Without triggering mania or psychosis WHAT YOU CAN’T DO: Since you’re on an antipsychotic: –No fasting –No intense detox programs –No strong laxatives –No castor oil –No herbs that boost dopamine –Don’t stop taking your meds suddenly These things could cause a relapse or make you unstable. SAFE AYURVEDIC DETOX TREATMENT These herbs are usually safe to take with antipsychotics and can help clear out drug residue. 1.Guduchi capsule Gets rid of chemical toxins Protects your brain and liver Dose: 500 mg, twice a day 2Triphala (low dose) Gently cleans your gut and removes toxins Dose: ½ tsp at night FOR MENTAL FOGG 1.Brahmi capsule Fixes brain fog Helps with PTSD Restores clarity Dose: 1 capsule twice a day 2.Shankhpushpi syrup Gets rid of mental dullness Makes you more aware Dose: 15 ml twice a day 3. Ashwagandha (small dose only) Strengthens your nervous system Reduces exhaustion Dose: 250 mg at night DIET TIPS TO FLUSH OUT DRUG TOXINS: ✅INCLUDE –Rice –Moong dal –Ghee –Coconut water –Steamed veggies –Pomegranate –Warm soups ❌AVOID –Cheese –Fried food –Alcohol –Sugar –Red meat –Packaged food These things make the drug’s effects worse. DAILY HEALING ROUTINE: Morning: –Get sunlight for 10 minutes –Take a slow walk –Breathe deeply (long exhales) –This safely gets your dopamine and energy flowing again. IMPORTANT NOTE: Sleeping 14 hours and feeling numb probably means your dose is too high. Talk to your psychiatrist about: –Lowering your dose –Or changing meds –This doesn’t mean you’re unstable – it just means you’re too sedated. –You’re not broken. –Your brain is just being held back, not damaged. –With a gentle detox and herbs for your nervous system: –You’ll get your clarity back –The emotional numbness will lessen –Your energy will return –You can start healing from PTSD Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Rather than “detox” in the sense of flushing the drug out (which is unsafe without medical supervision), Ayurveda focuses on supporting digestion, liver, and nervous system balance. These are generally considered gentle and supportive: - Triphala (Haritaki, Bibhitaki, Amalaki): Supports digestion, mild detox, regulates bowel movements. - Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): Known as an adaptogen; supports immunity and liver function. - Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) or Shankhpushpi: Traditionally used for calming the mind, improving clarity, and reducing stress. - Ashwagandha: Helps with fatigue and stress resilience, but caution: can sometimes increase sedation when combined with psychiatric drugs. - Warm herbal teas (ginger, tulsi, chamomile): Gentle detox and calming effect without strong drug interactions. 🧩 Lifestyle & Routine - Yoga & Pranayama: Gentle practices like Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, and restorative asanas can reduce stress triggers. - Sleep hygiene: Try to regulate sleep with consistent bedtime, morning sunlight exposure, and light evening meals. - Diet: Favor warm, light, easily digestible foods. Avoid excess caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods. - Stress management: Journaling, grounding practices, or therapy focused on trauma (like EMDR or somatic therapy) can help if PTSD is a concern.

These are not fully detox-able while still taking the drug - the main cause is dopamine D2 blockade. Do NOT stop or reduce without psychiatrist, sudden stop can cause severe withdrawal, rebound psychosis or akathisia. ✓Top herbs & supportive measures (low interaction risk) Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) – 300–500 mg standardized extract once daily morning - clearest mind, reduces brain fog & zombie feeling (cooling, safe with antipsychotics) Shankhpushpi – 500 mg powder or syrup night ,calming, improves clarity & reduces mental dullness Jatamansi – 250–500 mg night (very small dose) , strongest nerve calmer, helps with PTSD-like anxiety & sleep quality Mucuna pruriens (Kapikacchu) – 250–500 mg morning (low dose) , natural L-dopa source and can mildly counter dopamine blockade (use cautiously, start tiny dose, monitor with psychiatrist) ✓Detox & energy support (very gentle) Triphala – 2–3 gm night with warm water (gentle bowel & liver detox, no strong effect on antipsychotic) Warm sesame oil self-massage (abhyanga) 10 min morning (improves circulation & wakes up body) Ginger + tulsi tea – 1 cup morning (mild circulation & energy lift) ✓Lifestyle (most powerful non-drug help) Shorten sleep window gradually: aim 9–10 h max (set alarm, get morning sunlight immediately) Morning sunlight 15–30 min within 1 hour of waking (resets circadian rhythm, reduces daytime exhaustion) Micro-movement – 5–10 min walk or gentle yoga every 2–3 hours (counteracts zombielike state) Cold shower end of shower 30–60 sec (activates dopamine & wakes nervous system) Cut sugar/simple carbs after 4 pm (prevents energy crashes) ✓When & how to discuss with psychiatrist Tell them exactly: feeling zombielike, sleeping 14 h, exhausted on waking Ask about: Dose reduction / switch to atypical (aripiprazole, quetiapine low dose) Add modafinil or bupropion (off-label for antipsychotic-induced fatigue) Add low-dose lamotrigine if PTSD features strong Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma
