I am a 20-year-old CA Final student. I had persistent nausea for 3 months, which did not improve with gastrointestinal medications. After consulting a doctor, I was prescribed Ezolent Plus, which completely resolved my nausea. Currently, I am experiencing fear and social anxiety. Ezolent Plus temporarily relieves my anxiety, but I would like to stop taking it. I am also taking homoeopathic treatment. My studies are being affected. Could you please advise me on how I can manage and overcome my anxiety and social fear?
Your symptoms suggest that anxiety may have been the main cause of your previous nausea and is now presenting as fear and social anxiety. The medicine you were prescribed, Ezolent Plus (Escitalopram and Etizolam), can reduce anxiety quickly, but it is usually not intended for long-term use without medical supervision, especially because it can lead to dependence. Do not stop it suddenly, and consult your doctor for a safe, gradual reduction plan if needed. For long-term recovery, cognitive behavioural therapy is highly effective. It helps you change anxious thought patterns and build confidence in social situations. Regular practice of slow breathing, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness can reduce physical symptoms of fear. Gradually facing social situations in small steps can also help your mind adapt over time. Maintain a fixed sleep routine, engage in regular physical activity, reduce caffeine intake, and take structured breaks during study to manage stress. Continue follow-up with a psychiatrist for proper guidance. Homoeopathic treatment is generally safe but should not replace proven medical and psychological treatment.
