My husband is a very anxious person. Anxiety medicines have adverse effects on him, like violent retching and sleepiness during the day. I bought ashwagandha capsules from Patanjali but he refused to take it saying that since he is taking allopathy treatment, he cannot take ayurvedic medicine without prescription from a doctor. He is also getting leg pain.

Dear user. I can understand. Anxiety is a disorder and not a disease. Anxiety disorder can be treated with the help of counseling and psychotherapy much effectively than medicines. Therefore request your husband to discontinue the medicines for the time being and start counseling and psychotherapy methods. Take care.
