Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
These symptoms are suggestive of stress and sleep disturbances.

Is there any neck pain, urinary complains, weakness in Upper limbs or lower limbs?

Take Amitryptiline 10 mg at night for benefits. The drug should be taken after prescription from a registered medical personnel.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Hello,
Vitamin B 12 deficiency can be nutritional and common in vegetarians.
You can take tab tetrafol plus daily for vitamin B12 supplementation.
Tab amitone/ tryptomer is for sleep and decreasing anxiety.
You may need to continue these medications for a few months.
