GAD Somatic/GAD Insomia
Hi,
I was diagnosed with GAD Somatic/GAD Insomia on Dec 2020 and I have been on Propranolol LA-40mg, Escitalopram 10mg, Quetiapine 25mg
My symptoms are
Shortness of Breath
Unable to sleep at night
Shivering sometimes
So the doctor told me to take the same for 3-4years
Please can I get a second opinion regarding this as it is approx. 1.5 years and the symptoms occur if my tablets time are delayed and the main issue is the weight gain and my stomach is full everytime I drink water
Can I lose weight as the doctor has advised for Obigark Capsules however it is not doing anything significant
Please advise ?
