I was given first beta blocker propranolol for my thyroid. After that mine heart beat have slowed down and came to 45/50. Then mine doctor stopped the medicine. Took ecg which came normal. After that I was given placida by mine doctor which I searched and found that it is an antipsychotic drug use in schizophrenia and anxiety disorder. I took two tablets daily which was manageable but when doctor reduce the dose to one tablet then I was not getting proper sleep. I didn't slept for 4-5 night then mine doctor send me to psychiatrist which gave me depnosil 25 mg, pexep 10 mg and zapiz 0.5 which solved mine sleeping problem for few days. And after which I got side effect of difficulty in urination, constipation. So I stopped medicine on my own. Now I am consulted another doctor in ayurvedic. He gave me medha vati, and other medicines which reduce mine depression but I am lacking good sleep. Please help if you can.

Hi, as you have anxiety disorder I would suggest you to go for some cognitive behaviour therapy sessions with a good psychotherapist. Along with it practice relaxation techniques. There are lots of guided meditation videos available on the you tube. If you keep on changing doctors it won't help you. Rather focus on the root cause of the problem. To find out it and to overcome it cbt helps very much. For further help you may contact me.

You seem to be suffering from anxiety disorder. But the psychiatrist seem to have been using depsonil, which can cause urinary retention and constipation. It is wise to meet the same psychiatrist or another one and get your anxiety under control, safely, without discomfort. Good luck.
