Do NOT abruptly stop medications on your own. It can cause withdrawal or worsen symptoms.
Contact the doctor who prescribed the medication ASAP.
Request a medication review by a psychiatrist
Meanwhile, support your body gently:
1.Hydrate well — sip warm water throughout the day.
2.Eat small, light meals even if you’re not hungry (soups, soft khichdi, oats, bananas).
3Walk a little daily (if possible) to stimulate digestion naturally.
4.Use deep breathing exercises to calm anxiety (simple 4-7-8 breathing).

Firstly, it's important to recognize that your situation seems to stem from medication interactions or side effects, particularly causing numbing and digestive disturbances. Ensuring your immediate safety and well-being is crucial, and consulting with a healthcare professional familiar with your current medications should be your first step. They can provide adjustments or alternatives to your prescription if necessary.
Turning to Ayurveda, we may consider balancing the body and mind through more holistic methods. Anxiety often involves imbalances in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and activity, including the mind. Here are some actions to consider alongside medical advice:
1. **Dietary Adjustments**: Aim to pacify Vata with warm, nourishing foods. Cooked meals with ghee, warm grains like oatmeal or rice, and root vegetables can help stabilize. Avoid cold, dry, or excessively spicy foods that can aggravate Vata. Stick to regular mealtimes to support digestion.
2. **Herbal Support**: Herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi are known in Ayurveda for their calming properties on the nervous system. Consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to obtain the right dosage and form. Avoid self-prescribing, as compatibility with your current medicine is vital.
3. **Routine and Sleep Hygiene**: Create a calming bedtime ritual. A warm bath followed by sipping warm milk mixed with nutmeg might soothe and invite sleep. Stick to a regular sleep schedule and avoid screens an hour before sleep which can disrupt natural sleep patterns.
4. **Mindful Practices**: Incorporate pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation into daily routine. Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can be especially beneficial for calming the mind. Engage in gentle yoga suited to Vata type to ground and reduce anxiety.
5. **Digestive Agni**: Strengthen digestive fire with spices like ginger, fennel, or cinnamon, added to meals. If motions are irregular, Triphala may gently encourage bowel regularity; take it in powder form mixed with warm water before bed.
6. **Oil Massage**: Abhyanga, a self-oil massage with warm sesame oil, can calm Vata and promote body awareness, helping counteract numbness. Aim to perform this practice regularly in the morning.
Remember, Ayurveda sees every person as unique, so these are starting points. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner directly would refine these recommendations to your personal constitution. Safety and integration with existing medications remain key, so always coordinate with your healthcare team to ensure a harmonious and safe approach to overall well-being.
