Anxiety, Nervous Stomach With Loose Motion. On Prozac And Vipassana Meditation. What Is Going Wrong?

I am having anxiety and nervous stomach with loose motion sometimes. I am prozac 20 mg since 1990. Since then I have not seen psychiatrist. I do vipassana Meditation also. Just recently I was gone for 20 days retreat. Then I visited my daughter's home before coming to my home. I see her and I feel she is unhappy and sad and that triggers the emotions. Currently I am taking Brahmi and Ashwagandha. Please advice.

Hello.Fluoxetine is a good antidepressant but not the most appropriate when there are symptoms of anxiety.Also in my opinion it is also advisable to take a anxiolytic drug.I treat my patients with Paroxetine 20 mg per day+Alprazolam 0,25 mg thrice a day when Anxiety-Depression is the diagnosis.Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.Taking these drugs you will feel better.
I wish you good health.

hello,
as you are doing vipassana Meditation which is the best to control your emotions
you should continue doing it along with yoga and continue taking brahmi
just relax everything will be alright

1. Since you are on anti depressant medication and as symptoms got worse after seeing your daughter unhappy, this has resulted in over reactive functioning of the Intestines, called as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
2. so I usually prescribe my patients Mebeverine along with Psycho somatic treatment (which you are already taking-Brahmi/Ashwagandha).Please Consult with your health care provider regarding the same, or visit a Gastro enterologist for further work up.
