Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, in your case, gagging may be part of your psychotic episode. In that case, you can try antipsychotic like chlorpramazine. That would help to control gagging. You can also try some relaxtion technique or thought stoppage exercise that would help you to control these symptoms. Rest, you can consult me your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
