I hv been taking zepam 0.25, velaflaxine 37.5 since last 5 years for anxiety and had good results so far! recently I got viral hepatitis and antral erosion. Is it because of above medicine some kind of side effects?

Dear lybrate-User, the drug you mention and side effects to mention are not reported. But stress and anxiety have relation to antral erosion and it increases in certain viral infection since 5 years you are taking medicine for anxiety please also do alternative therapy to treat root cause of your anxiety with a positive approach and challenging and accepting situation. For the current situation try improving liver function Himalaya drug liv52 is recommended along with the medicine you use. Also, try these, follow an anti-inflammatory diet. A diet to prevent gastritis should include broccoli and olive oil. Take a garlic extract supplement. Try probiotics. Drink green tea with manuka honey. Use essential oils. Eat lighter meals. Avoid smoking and overuse of painkillers. Reduce stress. If you are interested in further discussion on how to improve your daily life, the increase will power, please contact Lybrate help desk to talk to me.
