—For social phobia alone medicine can’t be helpful Cognitive behavioral therapy will help u –You have been dealing with social anxiety, Parkinson’s disease, and insomnia for many years. The tablet Olanzapine helps you sleep, but it is not mainly a sleep medicine and can sometimes worsen movement symptoms in Parkinson’s disease if used long term. We should not stop it suddenly, but we can slowly adjust the treatment . - ayurveda can help in this with oral medicine+ panchkarma therapy. Visit for panchkarma specialist once for proper evaluation and decide treatment

HELLO, You are dealing with severe social phobia, Parkinson’s disease, and nightly insomnia for such a long time.Since you’ve been dependent on Olanzapine for sleep, any changes must be done gradually and under supervision, especially with Parkinson’s AYURVEDIC VIEW -Social phobia-> manovaha srotas dushti, vata-pitta aggravation -Parkinsons disease(comparable to kampavata)-> vata vyadhi (degenerative neurological disorder) -Chronic insomnia -> nidranasha due to vata aggravation+ mental overactivity Core line of treatment = vata pacifying, medhya (nervine), rasayana (neuro-rejuvenation), and nidrajanana (sleep promoting) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS FOR ANXIETY + SOCIAL PHOBIA -Brahmi vati= 1 tab twice daily after meals -Saraswatarishta= 15ml + equal water twice daily after meals -Manasmitra vatakam= 1 tab at night These help calm the mind, improve confidence, reduce fear response FOR PARKINSON’S -Mahayogaraj guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals -Vrihat vata chintamani ras= 1 tab twice daily after meals -Ksheerbala 101 capsule= 1 cap twice daily after meals -Ashwagandharishta = 15ml + equal water twice daily after meals These supports neuromuscular strength, reduces tremors, nourish nerves FOR CHRONIC INSOMNIA -Smritisagar ras= 1 tab at night -Kalyanak ghrita= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk if digestion permits these promote natural sleep, with out heavy sedation EXTERNAL MANAGEMENT OIL MASSAGE= with balaashwagandhadhi taila= daily Followed bye hot fomentation NASYA= instill 2 drops of ksheerbala taila in each nostril daily morning DIET -warm, soft, cooked meals -cow ghee small daily amount -alomind milk with nutmeg at night -moong dal, Rice,wheat porridge -stewed fruits AVOID -dry food, fasting -excess tea, coffee -cold food -late night screen exposure LIFESTYLE PROTOCOL -sleep before 10:30 pm -daily 20 min sunlight exposure -gente yoga -bhramari pranayam= 10 rounds twice daily -guided yoga nidra at bedtime IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OLANZAPINE Do NOT stop suddenly work with your psychiatrist to taper slowly once -sleep improves naturally -anxiety reduces -nervous system stabilizes Abrupt withdrawal may worsen insomnia or anxiety EXPECTED TIMELINE -Sleep improvement= 3-6 weeks -anxiety reduction= 6-8 weeks -parkinsons symptom support= 2-3 months -significant stabilization= 4-6 months Because Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder, you should continue consulting your neurologist. Ayurveda, can be supportive and restorative, but integrative management works best DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU

Thanks so much for clarifying this! I had no idea mixing meds could be risky. I'll stick to my doctor's meds and look into Ayurveda separately.
