Hello doctor,
I used marijuana for two years and used other drugs after that. Due to which I got a panic attack five years back. Now I have constipation due to depression. I do not have celiac disease and anemia. All my test reports are normal. I eat tablet Venlafaxine 150 mg twice daily, tablet Pregabalin 75 mg once at night, tablet Alprazolam 1 mg once at night. But it did not help me to overcome my irritation, confusion, mood swings, and body stiffness.
