Hello dear See the medications you are taking are excellent and rarely cause any side-effects However the mechanism is comparatively slower so it will take time for proper development So i request you to be patient and wait for atleast 2 -3 years for improvement Regards
Hi Mam Based on your symptoms what ur experiencing is premenstural syndrome.drowsiness ,Dullness are due to anaemia because of heavy periods. First let us check hemoglobin and thyroid .If your hb is low we need to start you on some tablets or syrup .If ur having too low hb below 5 then you may need blood transfusion . Tab .Livogen 1 tablet at night time For pms you can take tab.evion 400mg If thyroid is high or low need to correct that also . Thank you Mam
thankyou for your reply sir. my thyroid was normal in the last report so stopped thyroid medication. hb was less, it was around 8. i took iron medicine for 10 days. should i stop taking all the above medicines ?brahmi/prasham etc?
The ayurvedic medicines you’re taking are generally safe for your symptoms, but drowsiness/heaviness is possible. Best strategy = shift sedating ones to evening/night, reduce ghrita if digestion feels heavy
Better visit a nearby physician. Thank you
1. The Ayurvedic medicines you mentioned are generally used for stress, brain fog, and hormonal balance.
2. Feeling heaviness or mild drowsiness can happen, especially with Brahmi vati or Prasham, as they calm the mind.
3. If the drowsiness is too much, you may reduce the dose or take them in the evening instead of daytime.
4. It is important to monitor your periods, mood swings, and concentration to see if there is real improvement.
5. Since you also have hormonal and heavy period issues, do not rely only on Ayurveda – a gynecologist checkup is advised.
6. Continue only under guidance of a qualified doctor, and if symptoms worsen, get evaluated for thyroid, anemia, and PCOS.
Ayurvedic medicines can help, but do not ignore proper medical evaluation. Please consult both an Ayurvedic and gynecologist/physician for safe and balanced treatment.
