I am a 30-year-old woman, I am suffering from body pain, numbness, and anxiety for the last 6 months. I started taking vernace 500 mg once a day as prescribed with other oral supplements. It's been 8 days now, but my problem is increasing, my hands and legs and my body is shaking, the body pain and numbness it still there. I am getting jerks too now. I am not able to eat food properly after starting the medicine, and I get vomiting sensations again and again. Should I stop taking the medicine? Will it cause an issue?

Dear lybrate-user, vomiting sensation and not able to eat properly, will get adjusted soon, if you continue to take vernace. 6 months of problems will not disappear in 8 days, wait and follow up with your doctor. You need to address your anxiety issues also by consulting a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist.

To start with, anxiety is a kind of natural response of your body to too much amount of stress or pressure over some task. In such situations, people feel very much nervous and fearful of what would be the outcome of the thing they?re going to do; will they succeed in it or not; what would happen if they fail. All these thoughts are not at all healthy for your mind and can turn to a mental disorder. There are some steps that you can take to cope up with your anxiety and overcome the unwanted situations of panic, which eventually makes you mentally strong too. Some of the best approaches are listed here: cut out some time for yourself - it is beneficial to take some time out from your hectic daily routine with a lot of pressure of work or difficult tasks. Just give yourself a space to relax, be it by listening to music, watching your favorite tv series, playing a game that calms your mind and makes you feel relaxed, or even get a massage. When you have a calm mind, you can always return to your work and you would perform even better than before. Eat well - it never means to eat a lot more than your appetite. Just have well-balanced food, providing your body with equal amounts of every required nutrient, and never skip any meals. Always have an energy-booster with you, that can be your favorite cookie or a chocolate bar that you like the most. Have sound sleep - this is one of the most common and best advice you would receive to cope up with your anxiety or stress. Anxiety leads to a lot fo extra load or pressure on your mind that makes any work that you do less efficient. In such cases, it is best to give you a good amount of rest and keep yourself recharged and refreshed. You must take more than 8 hours of sound sleep daily. Meditate - practicing meditation and yoga regularly will always make your lifestyle better. By adding mindful meditation to your daily routine, you are training your mind to dismiss anxious thoughts when they arise. It also helps to focus better on your work and increases your productivity and efficiency. Daily yoga or exercise keeps you fit, as it is said,? a healthy mind is only in a healthy body.? talk to someone - you can always lighten up your mind by talking to talking to someone about your anxiety. Always welcome suggestions from your beloved ones like your family and friends. If you feel absurd talking to your family on this matter, you can very well open up to someone who values your words and can give you very well suggestions to cope up with it. You can always visit a therapist for professional help.

Dear Lybrate user reasons for body pain can be many so take proper medicine from a physician. Other symptoms that you have mentioned can be due to anxiety for which I would suggest you to take counseling from a guidance psychologist.
