Most of the ayurvedic medicine you are taking is good for your problem. Still if you feel a uncontrollable anxiety, high breathlessness, low mood, shuttering speech, it is best along with oral medications you start with panchkarma treatment which includes Shirodhara, Abhyangam Shiro picchu. Also learn Rajyoga meditation and practice daily Do pranayam lom -vilom bhastrika bhamri 5-10mins daily twice. You will see faster results.

Hey Prashant, Kindly visit a nearby Panchkarma centre to get therapies like shirodhara, shiropichu etc, for better management,

Warm Regards Dr.Anjali Sehrawat

and also ,

You’ve been carrying this heavy load in your body and mind for years, and tablets alone can only give partial relief. Panchakarma is like giving your system a complete reset — almost like pressing the restart button for your mind and nerves. When you go through treatments like oil massage (Abhyanga) and Shirodhara (warm oil flowing on your forehead), the nervous system actually feels deeply relaxed, your breath slows down, anxiety melts, and sleep becomes natural. It’s not just treatment, it’s an experience of peace that you haven’t felt in a long time.

The difference is, instead of only swallowing medicine and waiting for change, Panchakarma works directly on your body every day — releasing the tension, calming the spasms, and giving your brain space to heal. Many people who feel stuck, just like you, come out of Panchakarma feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control of themselves.

That’s why I feel this is not just an optional step for you, but something very important if you want real, long-lasting recovery. A few weeks in a good Ayurvedic center with Panchakarma can give you more progress than months of tablets.

HELLO PRASHANT,

HELLO PRASHANT,

-You’ve taken antipsychotics medicines for a long time (10+ years). These can calm the mind , but they also put heavy strain on the brain and nerves. Over years, they may cause tiredness, spasms in the mouth, speech problems, eye strain and anxiety

-Ayurveda would call this a vata-pitta imbalance -Vata gets aggravated-> causing spasms, restlessness, sleep issues, speech shuturing -Pitta also rises-> causing redness of eyes, irritability, anxiety, heat in body -The mind becomes rajasik (restless, overactive) and tamasic (dull, heavy, depressed) at the same time.

So, your symptoms feels both over stimulated and drained simultaneously

TREATMENT GOALS -Calm vata (reduce spasms, anxiety, tremors, improve sleep) -cool down excess pitta (soothe eyes, reduce irritability, ease burning) -nourish the brain and nerves (medhya + rasayana- rejuvenating for mind) -slowly detox the long- term drug effects (without pushing the body too hard) -bring back energy, clarity, focus so you can function and rebuild your career/life

I understand, how difficult your journey has been carrying the side effects of long-term antipsychotics along with the fear of indirect exposure that makes life feel unsafe. The Ayurvedic medicines, you’re already taking or a solid combination and encouraging that you feel some relief from them, since your concern is the need for a single sealed premium quality medicine that offers stronger protection and faster relief best options would be SUMENTA CAPSULES (CHARAK PHARMA) for immediate coming of anxiety, panic and breathlessness, and Brahmi vati gold for long-term nourishment of the brain, stability of mood and deduction of speed issues. Both comes in sealed dose form under safer. Either can be started at one capsule after meals at night for a few days, then increase to twice daily if tolerated well along with this continue Anu Thailam do Pranayam Yoga Sanana meditation regularly and try to maintain confidence in your healing process because your body has already shown. It can respond positively to Ayurveda.

hear how difficult things have been for you. Dealing with extreme tiredness, anxiety, and physical symptoms for over a decade while feeling like your life has been put on hold is an immense burden. It’s completely understandable that you’re looking for solutions to regain your health and get back to your career.

​ ​The symptoms you’re experiencing, including the feeling of “nano level contamination,” are very serious and require professional medical attention. The belief that you are being indirectly contaminated with medications through air or water is a significant concern that needs to be addressed with a healthcare provider. These feelings, especially when tied to specific events like the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, are often a symptom of the very conditions you are trying to treat.

1) tab mansaamrita rasa 1-1-1 after food

2 ashwagnadharishta 20 ml after food 2 times

3) tab smritisagar rasa- 1-0-1 after food 4) brahmi vati 1-0-1 after food

Panchakarma Therapies: These are detoxification and rejuvenation treatments that are a core part of Ayurveda. For mental health, therapies such as: ​Shirodhara: The continuous pouring of warm oil on the forehead to calm the nervous system and relieve anxiety. ​Abhyanga: Full-body massage with medicated oils to promote relaxation and balance. ​Nasya: Nasal administration of herbal oils to cleanse and calm the head and mind. ​Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations ​In addition to herbal remedies, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of lifestyle and dietary changes for mental well-being. These include: ​Mindful Diet: A nourishing diet tailored to one’s dosha constitution is crucial. This involves including fresh, whole foods while minimizing processed and artificial substances. ​Yoga and Pranayama: Practices like yoga postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama), such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), are recommended to relieve stress and balance the nervous system. ​Meditation: Mindfulness and meditation practices are integral to Ayurvedic approaches for stress management and promoting mental clarity. ​Quality Sleep: Establishing a regular sleep routine is essential for mental health

In addressing the challenges you’re facing, Ayurveda offers several methods to support your system in a holistic way. Given the persistent exposure to potential contaminants, it is crucial to focus on strengthening your nervous system and enhancing overall health.

Your current regimen seems well-rounded, but considering your unique situation, adding a few more strategies might amplify the benefits. To help counter the effects of anxiety and stress, consider adding Jatamansi, which is known for its grounding properties and benefits for the nervous system. You can take Jatamansi capsules, preferably single-sealed, one capsule twice daily after meals to support mental tranquility.

Ashwagandha, as an adaptogen, can also provide resilience against stress and anxiety. Look for Ashwagandha capsules, and take one capsule twice daily after meals. Ensure that the medicines are sourced from reputable suppliers to minimize contamination.

To support the digestive system, you might consider Triphala, a classical Ayurvedic formula that can help strengthen the digestive fire and enhance detoxification. Taking one capsule of a sealed Triphala dose before bedtime can aid in maintaining metabolic balance.

In addition, practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) might help balance your mind. Spending 15 minutes each day on Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can enhance the parasympathetic response, calming anxiety. Complement this with yoga poses such as Shavasana (Corpse Pose) to help anchor and soothe the nervous system.

Meanwhile, pay attention to diet—consume grounding and nourishing foods like ghee, whole grains, nuts, and cooked vegetables to support your overall health. Also, staying hydrated with warm fluids can aid in maintaining balance within your system.

Keep in mind, while these Ayurvedic measures support health, it is essential to maintain a dialogue with your healthcare provider regarding ongoing exposure concerns, and necessary interventions, to ensure your safety and well-being.

The medicines which you are using are much more than enough to control your issues Do not overthink, nothing to do with single sealed pack or loose tablets, the manufacturers take almost precaution while making those, lakhs together ppl are using, if that kind safety was not there means , they could have banned long time ago To my knowledge you are overthinking and taking stress Best suggestion is do meditation daily Keep yourself occupied Avoid screen time Read some positive books daily Spend time with family Colour therapy:- apply black colour both thumbs below nail daily n tell me after 3 days that did you found any changes or not … ok tc

Based on your situation and the described symptoms, it’s crucial to ensure that any severe, potentially life-threatening symptoms such as breathing difficulty and severe anxiety are addressed with the help of professional medical care immediately. Antipsychotics and antidepressants can have serious effects, and if there’s any suspicion of harmful contamination or interaction, seeking emergency medical expertise is essential. The Ayurvedic approach can complement but should not replace necessary allopathic interventions in life-threatening situations.

For addressing anxiety and nervous system imbalances from an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on balancing the Vata dosha is essential as it tends to govern movement and mind activity. In your case, the medicine already prescribed seems to aim at calming and stability. You can consider supplementing this protocol with Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), which is well-known to calm the mind and support overall mental health. You might try Ashwagandha churna (powder) in a single sealed dose form. Take it either with warm milk at night to promote restful sleep or with warm water in the morning if preferred. Proper sealing of each dose minimizes contamination risk.

Furthermore, avoid excessive use of electronics shortly before bed to support lower stress levels and better sleep. Investigating the air and water quality in your environment with a professional service may help identify and reduce the suspected contamination sources. Also, eating a nourishing vata-balancing diet—warm, cooked foods prepared with spices like cumin and turmeric—and ensuring routine yoga or pranayama breathing exercises might further stabilize your system. Remember, however, to keep clear communication with healthcare providers to better navigate your health concerns.

HELLO PRASHANT,

I hear your concern. what you describe- severe anxiety, mouth spasms, speech difficulties, and extreme tiredness after long- term antipsychotic use - is very serious. These symptoms may be related to side effects of antipsychotics, particularly tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements such as mouth spasms), drug-induced Parkinsonism, or even neuroleptic malignant syndrome in some cases.

FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP This is not safe to manage alone. You should urgently consult a psychiatrist or neurologist- especially if symptoms are worsening or feel life-threthening. Dose adjustment, change of medication, or the use of specific antidyskinetic medicines like tetrabenazine, amantadine, benzodiazepines, propranolol may be required

While modern medical supervision is essential , Ayurveda can offer supportive management to reduce stress, spasms, and improve nervous system strength. A tailored approach Is needed, but generally

1) REMOVAL OF CAUSE -Gradual supervised withdrawal or change of the offending medicine -avoid stimulants coffee, excess screen time, alcohol, smoking

2) PACIFYING THERAPY

-KALYANAKA GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk once daily. in morning after breakfast =can be increased gradually to 15 ml if tolerated

-SARASWATARISHTA= 30 ml with equal water twice daily after meals =helps anxiety, speech, memory

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 6 gm with milk once daily at night

-SHANKHAPUSHPI VATI= 500mg thrice daily after meals =helps anxiety and cognitive clarity

- ANTI SPASM/ MUSCLE RELAXING

-MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk once daily =good for neurological vata disorders

-BALA+SHATAVARI + ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk once daily =strengthen muscles, reduces tremors

3) PANCHAKARMA SUPPORTIVE THERAPIES

-OIL MASSAGE + HOT FOMENTATION= daily 30-45 min =use mahanarayan taila ; relaxes muscles and nerves

-SHIRODHARA= 20-30 min/day, 3-4 times/week =brahmi taila ; reduces anxiety and mouth spasms

-NASYA= 6 drops of Anu taila per nostril daily =improves speech clarity and neurological coordination

4) LIFESTYLE AND DIET -Warm, freshly cooked, sattvik diet. avoid junk , fermented, or excessively spicy food -yoga and pranayam= nadi sodhana, bhramari and gentle meditation -regular sleep schedule

-Ayurveda can be supportive, but abruptly stooping antipsychotics is dangerous and may cause rebound psychosis or severe withdrawal -Your description of “contamination through air or water” may itself be part of psychiatric condition (paranoid perception). please share this openly with doctor- they will help without judgement -If you ever feel like harming yourself or your condition is worsening-> seek emergency medical care immediately
