What Causes Anxiety And Increase In Appetite?

Hello doctor. My name is jimmi and im a 23 year old male who doesnt smoke and rarely drinks. About a year ago I started feeling anxious about going out and eating out. I feel extremely sick to the point sometimes I vomit. I have no idea why. Lately I have been getting it more often and get this feeling in my cheeks similar to when I blow up balloons. I m nervous to go to a doctor and don t really like talking about it. Any help you prove will be much appreciated. Thankyou for your time

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of anxiety and panic attacks (when you become excessively sick and feel like throwing).
I have seen venalafaxine showing good response in similar cases. Starting with 37.5mg and building upto to 225mg; increasing by 37.5mg every week or two weeks till there is sufficinet response.
The drug is fast acting and effective. Usually response starts to comes in 3-5days in most patients.

You may also take etizolaam 0.5mg under scene of extreme anxiety.

Dont worry and start the meds, you may discuss these with your doctor. You will surely get better.

Wish you good luck
