Is Manasamitra Vatakam advised for anxiety disorder?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. There are very few studies that support the efficacy of Manasamitra Vatakam for treating anxiety disorder. In one study, it was found to be helpful in anxiety disorders and have some effect in reducing daytime sleepiness. But it is one study, and with only that, I would not advise its use. My opinion is for choosing a less sedating drug, or that does not induce sleep (as prothiaden can induce some sleep).
