Lycopodium should not be taken daily. If a homeopathic remedy is taken daily it may lead to proving effects.
You may not know whether it is anxiety or it is due to taking Lyc daily.
If you are a perfectionist you may take a single dose of Arsenicum Alb 200 and see how that affects.
Gelsemium 200 is also a good remedy for anticipatory anxiety or performance anxiety.
If your anxiety makes you run away Argentum Nitricum 200 may also help you.
If there is too much of work pressure Nux Vomica 200 may also help.
Please go through these remedies and take an appropriate decision.
No remedy should be taken daily. You should take only three doses and then wait and watch.

Hello Dr.Kadwa,
Apologies for taking a longer break than expected. Following your reply, I have been closing monitoring my behavioural patterns and have made summary below:
1. When I was taking Lycopodium
During this period, I was experiencing sort of calmness and positive feeling toward such events that otherwise may have triggered anxiety symptoms.
I have to admit, however that I didn't have any need during this period to do presentation. There were couple of instances when I heard that I may have to present but in all those instances instead pretending to be busy, I tried to understand more about this event and the subject. Which i see is a positive one.
2. Behavioural patterns
Closely monitoring further, I realised my anxiety occurs only during following events;
a. When I have to present to wider audience. The first 5 minutes is very crucial for me, that's when I feel the restlessness. After that, taking a deep breath helps me a lot. During the first minutes my anxiety is highly visible through shaking hands, lack of breathlessness and voice modulation. After that, I loose my concentration which impacts my talk.
One instance, today at work I am being informed that a new project is likely to commence on a particular day, and my thought has started to focus what if I were asked to present or that I am asked to introduce myself to the new group. What happens if I fumble or unable to answer questions.
b. When meeting an unknown person on a social gathering, I have less of a problem, however whenever the event is that of a questioning session then it all starts. What I mean by questioning is 'formal interview' or when talking to someone over phone when I am being asked for something specific'. At these two instances, my negative thoughts overtake, i.e. being bullied, adverse results expected or that some one shouting at me. This has also occurred to me when a consultant is calling me and asking about say about yourself!!!.
From your last post two things I can relate to;
(a) Gelsemium 200
(b) Argentum Nitricum 200
Doctor, Can I know what further I can do in this regard. I just don't know how I am a victim to anxiety and detrimentally impacting my professional progress.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards

It seems that Lycopodium is your remedy. But you may see whether Gelsemium or Agrentum Nit helps.
Please take three doses of Gelsenium 200 at a gap of 12 hours and see how that affects in next 10 days.
You may also take a dose of Gelsemium 200 when you suffer severe anxiety.
If Gels doesn't seem to be helping, please take arg nit in the same way.
If both the remedies don't help please come back to Lycopodium.

Hello Dr Kadwa,

Many thanks for your quick responses as ever.

Hello Dr Kadwa,
There was an incident literally few minutes ago. Thought I should share this with you.
Context & Anxiety Result
1. I have been in touch with prospective employer in the last couple of days with regard to joining date. Suddenly I received a call this morning and I missed it.
Anxiety Result
From then on my thoughts started to wander around and heart started to beat fast. I was desperately trying to draw out my attention so that mind could relax. It took little while before I could get to grips.
2. Previously my employer used to address as 'Hi' and now I notice this as 'Name'.
Anxiety Result
I start to worry thinking he is not pleased with me. That thought itself puts me off from going any further. In that instance again I have noticed that heart beat increases and feel lot of discomfort. My mind is not ready to accept the fact that things are all fine.
Any thoughts please. Happy to provide you further information should you need.

Actually your surname 'Iyer' demands that you should be very particular and sharp in your work. It seems that for some reasons there is a gap between what people expect from you and what you are. You should try your best to close the gap for permanent relief.

That was very smart answer. I am not sure who has the reality distortion!!!.

Many issues can get unnecessarily complicated if one resorts to medication without addressing the core issues.
i hope you understand and don't take it otherwise.

Dear Dr.Kadwa,
Definitely not. I respect you for the suggestions and the medication you have come up with.
I want to uproot this problem for ever to move ahead in life. Hence my constant consciousness over this problem and trying to find a remedy.
I am a good listener and also act on those seeming valid.
I am awaiting for your further guidance.

You should not take other people's prescriptions. That is not how homoeopathy works. The medicines are chosens specifically for each individual, and there are over 5000 of them.

Dr.Kadwa,
Can I know in Homeopathy medicines there is a quality aspect?
What I meant is if I buy from one shop to another, can the quality differ and would this have impact on addressing the problems?

No remedy can result in total transformation, it can only provide a modest means to initiate a change. Physical symptoms may change drastically by taking a remedy but mental symptoms are what we are and how we have built our personality every moment we lived. We need to take follow up measures for whatever work has been done by the remedy.
The following things matter..
Whether the problem can be corrected by taking a remedy or it can be corrected by changing attitude.
Whether efforts are made for developing some significant skill that is badly needed.
Indian Medicine or German Medicine, branded or unbranded doesn't matter.

Dr.Kadwa,
Very well said. I agree with you completely.
The mind block is something that I need to work on. I need to bring to you two things'
Two weeks ago, I took Staphysagria 200. I took this medication, just a day before the presentation. I prepared pretty well, however, as the time started close in, the heart rate was unusually high, and at one point, before the presentation had a vomiting sensation. But did force myself for this presentation. Thought for a minute that I will give up and say this is not for me. However, just 15 minutes before the event, took Lycopodium.
Still my heart beat was very high and couldn't concentrate on the material that I was supposed to talk on, but the mind was pre-occupied with negativeness.
After a little while, made up my mind and went ahead with the presentation and to my surprise, with such high heart beat and vomiting sensation, I did do very well in talking through subject matter. My voice didn't vibrate, and it seemed as if I was in control of my tone.
Couldn't make out if this is the effect of Lycopodium or something else.
Still, I feel a lot uneasy when it comes to presentation, or on social occasions. One thing, I did differently here, wrote in Big letters 'THIS IS MY CHANCE TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPRESSION' as a slip note and referred to occasionally during the presentation.
The point, I am trying to bring to your attention is that I am making conscious effort in this regard. However, the mind conditioning is not what's happening. I am trying my level best to immerse into the subject so that at no point, the negativity is impacting me.
But feel a lot helpless when the negative thoughts sets in and symptoms makes me to concentrate more on, what if things go wrong!!!!.

If we are convinced that we are not doing anything wrong, unjust, damaging we should do our best and should not bother about the consequences.
Bhagwadgita says that you are bound to get what you deserve and there is no point in having a heap of expectations from whatever you do.
One should be always satisfied with the outcome but should be always unsatisfied with his efforts.
'When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work. - George Bernard Shaw #quotes'

Yes, I agree with you on Karma.
However, the distortion happens when one follows the Bhagavad Gita and the other doesn't. This means magnified failures. We live Kaliyuga!!!!.
The coming days will be very crucial for me. And let's what happens.
I am currently reading the book, 'Autobiography of a Yogi'.
I will be following the two pranayams you had suggested earlier.
Do you reckon I should follow with Lycopodium whenever situation demands?. It intrigues me how I have become victim to this?

It is better not to repeat Lycopodium 200 within 15 days. Please take three doses of Silicea 200 at a gap of 12 hours and see how it affects in next 15 days.
