Suggest Medication For Anxiety, Depersonalization And Obsession
Question: Age 23
Gender male
I have suffered with anxiety, detachment from my normal self depersonalization I believe.. And have even felt disconnected from my own family which was scary because we are really close.. I came across some vitamins and was wondering if you feel it is safe to try out B6 vitamins to help me with my anxiety or 5-HTP vitimans to help me keep stable mood. I just want this emotional roller Coaster to be over.. Especially my ocd compulsive thoughts. Do you recommend these vitamins for my condition?

Brief Answer:
5-HTP can be used and it have value in your condition
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns. I think we have discussed these domains in the past but the treatment part was never discussed till date.
Regarding your current question my answer is definitely yes. This is because in individuals who suffer with anxiety, depersonalisation, obsessive symptoms have deficiency of serotonin in certain areas of brain which leads to development of symptoms. 5-HTP is exactly sorting which fills the gap of serotonin deficiency and leads to amelioration of anxiety symptoms and related disorder problems.
I mean to say that use of 5 HTP have good chance of helping you in anxiety as well as obsessive symptoms.
Vitamin B6 have little role in anxiety and related disorders and I do not recommend it for this purpose. I must acknowledge here that vitamin B 6 is completely harmless and can be used if you feel there are symptoms suggestive of its deficiency. The deficiency symptoms include muscle pains, confusion, fatigue, weakness among others.
I hope this assists you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
