Or have Nexito? Or both Plse suggest Thanks & regards

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you have a duty of roaming to different parts, meeting different races. It is natural to have anxiety, and stress.
At the same time you need to be active all the time, it may be difficult to be with the drowsy anti depressants.
I advise you to discuss with your doctor for an alternative with drugs with out drowsy ness, or a depot injection for a long time usage.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
