Opinion regarding anxiety and meds

I had few panic attacks around a month back with physical symptoms like numbness in my limbs, specially left leg and arm(jelly legs), heavy-headedness, dizziness persisting. Had done a brain MRI, spine MRI and a NCV test, while consulting a neurologist and the tests have all come fine, with no indication of any physical issue. I did get my b12 checked and there was a b12 defeciency, around 130. Got the injections necessary but with no improvement ,I was told the symptoms I am experiencing may not be be due to the vitamin defeciency. Recently consulted a psychiatrist and have been diagnosed with anxiety based on the symptoms and my experience. I have been prescribed with etilaam 20 pro(morning and before sleep)and nexito 5mg(after lunch) for 3 weeks. I am just concerned about any possible side effects or withdrawal symptoms that I need to be aware of. Also would like an overall opinion.

Can a psychiatrist help in treating IBS

Hello Doctor, I am a student from Pakistan and also work part-time as a freelancer. I have IBS-C, which is significantly affecting my daily life, studies, and work. I have tried GI treatments, diet changes, and lifestyle measures with limited improvement. I’ve seen several patient experiences where IBS cured after psychiatric treatment focused on the gut–brain connection. Especially from Dr. Sanjay Jain or Dr. Suneet Upadhyay. Could you please advise: Can a psychiatrist help manage IBS, especially when anxiety or stress is involved? Is psychiatric consultation appropriate if standard IBS treatments are not working? Would an online consultation still be useful for guidance if I need to manage medicines locally? Thank you for your time.

Hyperacusis and tapering meds

I have been taking sertraline and clonazepam for six months. From last two months clonazepam is on taper. Since day one my maximum dose of clonazepam was .125mg in morning and .25mg in evening. By now I have reached .062mg in evening following reduction in dose every 15 days. Now it is almost last stage. Since I have hyperacusis developed as a result of nihl, can I directly stop it after taking it for 15 days or have to further reduce and then stop.
