I am taking the following drugs for mixed Depression-Anxiety a) Sertraline 50 mg 1-0-0 b) Mirtazepine 15 mg 0-0-1 c) Lithium Carbonate 400 mg (SR) 1-0-1 To counter the side effects, I am taking Pacitane 2 mg 1-1-0 and in spite of this I am having hand tremors and am not able to write at all. I am having stammering also. I am taking Neurobion Forte 0-0-1 to strength the nervous system. By taking Nerobion Forte bi-daily help in controlling the tremors? By taking Ashwagandha powder (1 tea spoon with milk) twice daily help in controlling the tremors? Also, I am Asthmatic and Diabetic for which I am taking Theo-Asthalin 1-0-1 and Glycephage 500 mg 1-0-1 respectively. I am a smoker also and I smoke only 5 cigarettes a day. Kindly advice. Also confirm whether psychotic drugs be taken along with Ashwagandha Powder. Kindly reply at the earliest. Thank You Yours Truly Jayanth

Hi Welcome to HCM
Dear Jayant
I am realy concerned about you for having so many medicines but no relief .
And over and above that ,you want to add 1 more , Ashwagandha in your kity
First of all I want to know ,how old are your prblems ?
What is your age ,weght & height?

As for as I can uderstand , you are not leading balanced , regular life style . That is the reason ,you have to keep on adding medicines .
I am not avers of your taking any medicines prescribed by your physician
But I will like to keep in mind one thing , that only medicines without a disciplined life will not do any good to you .
Ashwagedha is good ,no doubt and helps in many problems successfolly .

I will suggest you to take nourishing diet with fibers vitamins minerals , soup of kullath / green dal giger ,garlic in your all meals .
Avoid sugar , fried fast foods banana guava in fact all sour things and over indulgence of tea ,coffee , alcohol and smoking
A level Tspoon of turmeric powder with a cup of hot milk at bed time gives a good dose of antioxidants .
Chaywanprash good tonic / remedy for asthma ang general health .

Good night sleep is essential
Do Sufficient walk ,exercise -yoga ,pranayam deep breathing .

Constipation should be removed regularly .

The above regimen can help you to slowly remove many of the symptoms you are suffering from and will help you fully recover , One day you lead happy life without drugs ! Isn't it good idea
