How to reduce life threatening severe anxiety, mouth spasm, speech shuttering, caused due to unwanted excessive dosage of antipshychotics - #29660

HELLO PRASHANT,

I hear the intensity of what you are going through, Prashant . What you described- long- term high-dose antipsychotic use with severe side effects (mouth spasms, anxiety, speech issues, tiredness)- is extremely difficult, and it is very important to approach this in a safe manner

FIRST AND FOREMOST= life=threthening side effects from antipsychotics require urgent medical attention. Please do not try to stop or alter your medication suddenly on your own- it can cause dangerous withdrawal or relapse.

You have been taking antipsychotic medicines for 10 years. These medicines help in controlling certain mental health conditions but long-term high dose use can cause severe side effects, such as -Severe anxiety and inner restlessness (often called akathisia) -Mouth spasms, tongue twisting, or jaw stiffness (tardive dyskinesia/ dystonia) -speech stuttering or difficulty speaking clearly (due to nerve muscle effects) -extreme tiredness , lack of motivation (medicine suppresses dopamine, which also drives energy)

In Ayurveda, this looks like an imbalance of Vata (causing spasms, speech issues, nervous instability) and Pitta (causing anxiety, restlessness, heat in mind-body)

Your main goals are -reduce side effects safely with support of psychiatrist -calm and nourish the nervous system through Ayurveda, diet, yoga and lifestyle -rebuild energy and clarity so you can live meaningfully and contribute

TREATMENT GOALS

1) PACIFICATION= calm the aggravated vata and pitta through herbs, oils and diet 2) NOURISHMENT AND STRENGTH= rebuild Ojas(vital energy) through ghee, milk, rasayana herbs 3) MENTAL CLARITY= reduce anxiety, stabilize mood 4) CONTROL OF NERVOUS OVERACTIVITY= oils, massage, etc 5) REJUVINATION= long term strengthening of mind and body

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) BRAHMI GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk in morning for mind and speech =improves memory, reduces anxiety, stabilises nervous system

2) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap with milk twice daily after meals =strengthens nerves, reduces fatigue, acts as natural anti-anxiety

3) JATAMANSI CHURNA= 3 gm with honey or milk at bedtime =calming, improves sleep, reduces anxiety

4) SARASWATARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily after meals =for speech clarity, nervous calmness, and memory

5) MUKTA PISHTI = 125 mg once daily with honey =cooling, anti-anxiety, balances pitta

MINIMUM DURATION= 3-6 months. benefits often visible in 3-4 weeks

EXTERNAL THERAPY

1) OIL MASSAGE= With warm Bala ashwagandhadhi taila followed by warm water bath =calms vata, relaxes muscles, reduces spasms

2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Brahmi taila in each nostril daily morning =improves speech, nervous strength, reduces spasms in head/neck

DIET -warm, freshly cooked food -khichdi, vegetable soup, rice with ghee -milk with turmeric, pinch of nutmeg at night -ghee, sesame oil, soaked almonds, dates -herbal teas= brahmi, tulsi, jatamansi

AVOID (they aggravate vata/pitta and worsen spasms/anxiety) -cold, dry, leftover foods -excess spicy, sour, fried foods -coffee, tea, alcohol, smoking -packaged junk food, aerated drinks

LIFESTYLE

SLEEP= go to bed before 11 pm, wake up early

ROUTINE= eat at fixed times, maintain regularity

AVOID OVERSTIMULATION= loud tv, excess social media, disturbing news

NATURE EXPOSURE= morning/evening walks, sunlight for 20-30 mins

SELF OIL MASSAGE= head, feet, spine before bath

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

1) Bhramari pranayam= 7 rounds morning and evening -> reduces anxiety, improves speech control

2) Anulom-vilom= 10 rounds-> balances brain hemispheres, calms nerves

3) SHAVASANA= 10 mins daily resets nervous system

4) GENTLE CHANTING OF “OM”= vibrational therapy for speech and calmness

5) Avoid very forceful pranayama in your condition like kapalbhati

HOME REMEDIES

1) Warm milk + 1 tsp ghee + pinch of nutmeg at bedtime-> better sleep

2) Soaked almonds + raisins in morning -> brain nourishment

3) Tulsi + brahmi tea once daily-> reduces anxiety

4) Coconut water -> balances pitta, reduces restlessness

INVESTIGATION NEEDED -Neurological evaluation= check for tardive dyskinesia, dystonia -Psychiatric review= assess necessity and dose of current antipsychotic

Prashant, your suffering is real and serious. please remember -do not suddenly stop allopathy- always taper under observation -Ayurveda can reduce side effects, rebuild strength and improve quality of life, but it must be personalised -mind, body, and environment healing together will help you regain stability -your desire to overcome this and contribute to the world is your biggest strength- hold onto it.

I understand you are going through a very difficult time and are looking for solutions. It’s important to approach this with great care.

​Here’s why this is so important:

​Drug Interactions: Combining herbs with your current psychiatric medications can be extremely dangerous. Certain herbs can interact with antipsychotics and antidepressants, potentially leading to serious side effects or reducing the effectiveness of your prescribed medication. Abruptly stopping or changing your current medication can also have severe and life-threatening consequences.

​ ​The “Contamination” Experience: The feelings you describe of “nano level contamination” of medications through air or water are not medically recognized phenomena. These experiences, along with your feelings of persecution and the belief that you are a victim of a conspiracy similar to Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, are often associated with certain mental health conditions. This is a critical point to discuss with a mental health professional, as it may be a symptom that requires careful management under their care. ​Regarding your request for specific sealed herbs and medicines:

​ ​Purity and Quality: The quality of herbal products varies widely. An unsealed or contaminated product could be dangerous. Even if sealed, an unregulated product may not contain what it claims or could be contaminated. The correct dosage of an herb is crucial for both efficacy and safety. An incorrect dose can be ineffective or even toxic.

​My Strong Recommendation: ​ ​Consult a Psychiatrist/Mental Health Professional: It is essential to be open and honest with a psychiatrist about all your symptoms, including the feeling of “contamination.” They can help you manage your current medications safely and address the underlying reasons for your distress.

​Do Not Self-Medicate: Please do not start any new herbal supplements or change your current medication without the direct supervision of a healthcare professional. ​Your desire to contribute globally and help others is noble, and the first step towards achieving that is to prioritize your own health and well-being. Finding the right professional help is the most significant and safest step you can take right now. ​Remember, your life is valuable, and there are professionals who can help you navigate this difficult period safely and effectively.

You can start with 1) Tab smritisagar rasa- 1 tab 3 times after food 2) manasamrita kashaya 10 ml 2 times after food

3) ashwagnadharishta 10 ml 2 times after food

Don’t worry Prashant ji,

*I have totally understood your issue…

*The experience of feeling like one’s life is deteriorating while on medication can be isolating. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that you are not alone in facing such challenges.

*Ayurveda, an ancient Indian holistic healing system, emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit in achieving overall health and well-being.

* Ayurveda explains mental health as a balance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. 1.VATA IMBALANCE can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia.

2.PITTA IMBALANCE can cause anger, irritability.

3.KAPHA IMBALANCE can result in depression, lethargy.

*Ayurvedic treatment for mental health focuses on restoring the balance of the doshas through various approaches. *A balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular exercise are crucial for managing stress and promoting mental health.

*Meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), and yoga are integral parts of Ayurvedic approaches to mental well-being.

**Abruptly stopping antipsychotics can lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and even a relapse of psychotic symptoms.

*NEED PERSONAL CONSULTATION Find qualified Ayurvedic practitioner in your area who specializes in mental health is recommended. He or She can provide a personalized assessment of your doshic balance and recommend suitable Ayurvedic treatments and therapies.

*Understanding your DOSHA constitution and the principles of Ayurvedic psychology can empower you to make informed decisions about your diet, lifestyle, and stress management practices.

* Ayurvedic treatments may take time to show their full effects. Consistency and adherence to the recommended therapies are important for achieving lasting results.

**Remember, your individual experience and journey are unique. Ayurveda can help you navigate this situation effectively and improve your overall well-being.

Addressing the challenges you’re facing with Ayurvedic perspective focuses on balancing doshas and enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal. To manage severe anxiety, tiredness, and symptoms possibly linked to antipsychotic use, a comprehensive approach is essential. Begin with remedies like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). It is known for its adaptogenic properties to reduce anxiety and improve energy levels. Take it in capsule form, one capsule twice a day with warm water after meals.

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is excellent for mental clarity and reducing anxiety. A capsule per day, preferably in the morning, can help in stabilizing the mind. Shankhapushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis) can support calming the nervous system — a teaspoonful of its powder can be taken with warm milk at bedtime.

To address mouth spasms and speech shuttering, Mahanarayan oil is beneficial when massaged gently along the jawline and neck region daily. The regular practice of Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can also help in calming the nervous system and should be practiced every morning for 10-15 minutes.

For diet, focus on light but nourishing foods; opt for warm, cooked vegetables and soups with spices like ginger and turmeric. Hydration is key, so drink warm water throughout the day. Adding ghee to your meals can support neural structures and restore vitality.

Ensuring that your environment is supportive involves regular ventilation of living spaces and avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals wherever possible. Integrating meditation into daily routines can mitigate external stressors.

Lastly, regarding the concern for environmental contamination, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to ensure safe and appropriate adjustments in therapy and access urgent medical attention when necessary. Maintain a support system and consider regular check-ins with a mental health professional who can provide additional insight and support.

To manage the challenges you’re facing with anxiety, mouth spasms, and speech issues, especially considering the complexity of indirect contamination you’re experiencing, let’s focus on some Siddha-Ayurvedic strategies that may help balance your doshas and alleviate symptoms. However, given the serious nature of your symptoms, it’s critical to continue, consulting a medical professional while exploring these Ayurvedic measures.

First, for managing anxiety and nervous disturbances, herbs like Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can be helpful in moderating Vata and calming the mind. These can be taken in capsule form, typically 500 mg twice daily. Ensure the products are from a reputable source with sealed single doses for purity. Regarding the speech-related issues and mouth spasms, consuming Triphala can support detoxification and may help balance the doshas affecting the muscles. Take Triphala churna, about 1 teaspoon with warm water before bed.

Additionally, practices like regular Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can help in calming the nervous system and maintaining balance in your energy channels, aiming to stabilize any vitiated doshas. Ten minutes of deep breathing daily may contribute to easing anxiety.

For the idea of airborne or environmental contamination, staying hydrated and ensuring your living space is ventilated can assist in minimizing perceived contamination. However, this requires further discussion with an environmental specialist.

Finally, it’s imperative to work closely with healthcare providers to monitor and manage any adjustments to your medications or treatment strategies. Ayurveda should complement, not replace, your prescribed treatment regime, especially with severe conditions like yours. If symptoms progress significantly, immediate medical attention is crucial.
