Hello, greetings from your ayurveda wellness coach.
Generally if you are using these medicines without prescription you may get such side effects. For example if you use mentat and divya medha vati it may cause some changes if used for longer duration. Whereas the usage of brahmhi will definitely help calming the mind. However, I suggest you consult and plan this medication dosage and frequency.

Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But if you've had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in c...more

Dear lybrate-user,
panic attacks, anxiety, sleeps issues are related to the fears we have in life. Our unexpressed emotions and feelings will find ways in expressing itself. I hope along with the medication you are taking the help of a therapist to deal with your emotions. Panic attacks are related to fear that is something not real, it is fear for something unknown or imagined. I suggest first meet a therapist who will help you in training to deal with emotions.
However, before stopping...more
