I understand your concern about becoming dependent on anxiety medicines. Medicines like Placida or Nexito Forte are generally not addictive when taken as prescribed, unlike medicines such as Trika (alprazolam), which are usually meant for short-term use.Try taking plain nexito only as it doesn't contain any BZD if you don't have any other anxiety symptoms. Since your endoscopy is normal, stress and anxiety can sometimes worsen acid reflux, and some people may also have associated Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), where the gut becomes more sensitive despite normal tests. Along with medications, try eating smaller frequent meals, avoid spicy/oily foods, caffeine and late-night meals, and practice stress management. Please follow the medication advised by your treating doctor and discuss any concerns before making changes on your own.
