Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi.

I understand your concern .

Beta blocker and gabapentine can help to reduce stress and anxiety .

But they have limited role.

Anxiety and depression can be treated with anti depressant medicines like SSRI .

SNRI like desvelnaflaxcine can hel in Somatization with depression .

In SSRI sertraline / escitalopram / peroxetine will help .

chronic back pain with depression can be treated with medicine like amitriptiline , imipramine , duloxetine etc.

so consult psychiatrist and get further assistance .

get well soon .

I hope I have answered your question .

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask .

Thank you .
