Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. As per ayurvedic texts, ashwagandha is used for anxiety and brahmi as brain tonic. Earlier the combination is usually prescribed for anxiety. Now a days it is not followed because it is not that effective.

But it is your duty to consult a doctor before taking any medication. Never have self diagnosis and jump into trouble. Anxiety and stress are not diseases but are state of the mind and they are completely curable just with the help of simple life style changes and some meditation.
