1. Breathe Slowly If you are feeling anxious, you are more likely to breathe faster and shallower. Sometimes, the easiest and most important thing we can do to soothe ourselves is to focus on our breathing. Inhale slowly. Count to three as you do it. Focus on each breath. Exhale slowly. Count to three as you do it. 2. Stay In the Present Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique Focus on five things around you that you can see. A pen, a bottle of water, a spot on the wall - anything. Focus on four things around you that you can touch. Your watch, the coffee mug, the chair you are sitting on - anything. Focus on three things you can hear. Someone speaking on their phone, the TV in the background - any external sound. Focus on two things you can smell - Maybe it’s a charcoal pencil, a hand cream, or leftover coffee in your mug. Focus on one thing you can taste - What does the inside of your mouth taste like? Gum, coffee? 3. Muscle Relaxation When you are anxious, you may feel your body tense up. Find a quiet place. Slowly tense a muscle group. Let’s say you start with your shoulders. Breathe in while you tense your shoulders. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Slowly release the tension and breathe out as you do it. Do this a couple of times before moving on to the next muscle group. What this practice essentially does is it builds awareness of tension in the body and also recognises when the body is completely relaxed. 4. Get Moving Move your body. There is simply no way around it. When you do activities that get your heart rate up, like running, cycling, getting some exercise, or even dancing, it can literally change your brain chemistry.. 5. Small Acts of Bravery If there’s something that makes you anxious, try tackling it in baby steps. For example, if public speaking freaks you out, start by giving a short presentation to a few friends. This can help you build confidence and manage your anxiety when it comes to bigger challenges. 6. Be Kind to Yourself Practicing self-compassion can really help ease your anxiety. Remember, we all deserve to be cared for, and that includes taking care of ourselves. Much love!

Likely panic disorder/anxiety sensitization triggered or worsened by yohimbine use. Patient experiences panic attacks during intense physical activity when heart rate rises. Yohimbine can increase adrenaline/norepinephrine and provoke anxiety symptoms.
Next Steps
Condition is generally treatable with stimulant avoidance, proper SSRI management, CBT/exposure therapy, and gradual exercise reconditioning.
Health Tips
Psychiatric review before further tapering Nexito is advised.

Yohimbine is a stimulant that can trigger anxiety/panic attacks, especially during intense exercise when heart rate spikes. Stop yohimbine immediately and tell your doctor about these episodes before changing anything with Nexito. Anxiety disorders are treatable.

Yohimbine can sometimes increase adrenaline activity in the body and may trigger or worsen anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, palpitations, and increased heart rate, especially in people who are already prone to anxiety. Intense workouts can also temporarily increase heart rate and may trigger fear/anxiety sensations.
Next Steps
Do not restart or continue yohimbine or similar fat-loss stimulants without medical advice Continue follow-up with your psychiatrist, especially while tapering medicines like Nexito A basic physician/cardiac evaluation may be helpful if palpitations are persistent during exercise Medication adjustment and gradual tapering should be done only under supervision
Health Tips
Avoid stimulants such as fat burners, excess caffeine, pre-workout supplements, and nicotine Prefer gradual/moderate exercise instead of sudden intense workouts initially Practice breathing exercises and relaxation techniques during palpitations/anxiety Maintain good sleep, hydration, and regular routine Do not abruptly stop psychiatric medications on your own
