Brief Answer:
I think you need to see a psychiatrist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description it appears that you have developed phobia which is treated by psychiatrist by counselling and behavioral relaxation. Medications are the second choice for treatment of phobia.
None of your medication results in development of phobia and I feel it is just coincidence rather than a side effect of any medication.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks Doctor. I also consulted my family physician ,he prescribed Tab Nexitoplus after breakfast for 7 days, if it does not provide relief, then to consult a psychiatrist. Unfortunately no psychiatrist is available in my city XXXXXXX Kindly advice whether I should wait to see the results of Nexitoplus or should immediately consult a psychiatrist, if so whether I should take advice online on HUM from a psychiatrist or should consult a psychiatrist physically. For your information I have to start taking Nexitoplus from today. An early advice is requested
Brief Answer:
Better to see a psychiatrist
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Although it is possible that medication may effective but the treatment used is a combination of medications and one among them is addictive (Clonazepam). In my view it is better to see a psychiatrist as this treatment advice will not be probably sufficient to control your symptoms.
In my knowledge somebody from XXXXXXX or XXXXXXX visits XXXXXXX on some days of week. In case nobody visits you can go to either XXXXXXX or XXXXXXX as both the places are in approachable distance. You need to see him physically rather than consulting a psychiatrist online.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks again.
