Can antidepressants be taken for long term like 6 months any side effects for anxiety disorder people

Hello Doctor, I have social anxiety. Whenever I have to talk to professional people, especially female colleagues or female professionals, I experience a rapid heartbeat, nervousness, and intense anxiety. Earlier, I was prescribed Inderal 20 mg, and it helped me manage these symptoms. I may be rejoining my job soon. Before taking it again, I wanted to ask whether it would be safe and appropriate for me to restart Inderal 20 mg, especially if I am also taking my current medication. I would be grateful for your guidance. Thank you, Doctor.

I’ll list my problems below, point by point. Please tell me what the solution is. I want to become mentally strong. No matter how much pain comes, I want to stay strong. 1. I get hurt easily even by small things. 2.I get very angry even over small things. 3. After college, I don’t have a friend circle. I don’t like being close with anyone. 4.I like being alone always. 5.I talk to a few people, but I stopped that too because of fear — fear of getting hurt, and fear that I may have to avoid them. So less talks. 6. Masturbation for relaxation. 7.There has been betrayal, and after that I’ve become more alert. 8.I feel like telling my troubles to someone, but I’m afraid they might use that fear against me. 9. I’m not married yet. I’m afraid to look into it. 10. I’m even afraid to talk when neighbors come bcoz of past betrayal experiance. 11. Even though I am 35 years old, people say I look at most 22. Even teenagers speak to me without respect, and that also drains me. . Wat is d solutn 🥹

Dear Doctor,I feel like my ability to distance myself and observe my own thoughts—specifically my metacognition, or the "observer effect"—has become very weak. Even when I practice mindfulness, I am unable to experience this state. In the past, I used mindfulness very effectively to manage and tackle procrastination.Could this difficulty be because my DLPFC (Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex) is not functioning properly?Also, how does the Mirtazapine affect my metacognition? Ii don't use this medicine now almost two yr only take one dose 7.5mg that really spike my anxiety level high  i stopped it understand that at a low dose, Mirtazapine causes a histamine-1 receptor blockade, which might slow down dlPFC activity. Is there any way or alternative clinical method to reverse or clear this specific receptor blockade?Finally, are there any specialized medical checkups or diagnostic tests available to evaluate the current working condition and functional state of my DLPFC

I was on escitalopram for 4 years , I weaned off the course and took 2 years to exit . While doing so I developed food & medicine allergies, like itching mouth, eye lids , nostrils, burning in abdomen, and brain fog. Consulted many doctors, didn't find any remedy. Now I can't even take the same old escitalopram or any psychiatric medicines or supplements, all showing up with the same symptoms, everything is connected to histamine. It is suspected SSRI withdrawal induced MCAS or Histamine Intolerance, still managing with antihistamine,  is there any precise treatment instead just symptomatic

Im unable to fall asleep even though my eyes are tired and my body is exhausted. All sorts of thoughts keep on flying in my brain, keeping me awake all the time. Those thoughts aren't negative or depression related thoughts, just random stuff. I lay in my bed for hours are still can't fall asleep.
