I am suffering from anxiety and panic. Doctor prescribed tryptomer it did not worked. Now I am taking ayurvedic manasmitra vatakam. My problem is whenever I leave home I fear I may get urgency to use toilet. So I stopped walking and using public transport. I use my car so in case of urgency I can stop car and search toilet. My mind is always nervous about sudden diarrhoea.

Dear lybrate-user, medicine has done their work and you'd need relaxation sessions which will help you to come out of anxiety issues, do get in touch with some psychologist for face to face sessions. Best regards.

You should get a review of your allopathic medications instead of switching to Ayurveda. You should do some Kegel exercises to strengthen your anal sphincter muscles and develop better motion control. You can google 'kegel' instead of avoiding walking and using public transport you should do short trips and increase the length incrementally over time to build confidence. Even while at home you must practice holding your bowels and willfully go a little late to gradually develop self-control. If you watch what you eat, you will also not feel that urgency with non-fibrous food. Above all your mind is the culprit: if you think you will pass the motion, you will. So stop indulging in these thoughts. There is definitely a problem of fear from your past and I suggest that you meet with a counselor and deal with it. That will completely solve your problem.
