As per your complaints you seem to have phobias for needles and sharp objects and excessive cleaning or washing of hands is suggestive of obsessive compulsive disorder, LONAZEP will hardly help, you need to take anti obsessive and medicines for phobias under supervision of a psychiatrist

How to reduce adrenaline anxiety?

Answered on 17th Mar '22

The inner glands produce adrenaline. Adrenaline is also known as the “fight-or-flight hormone.” It's released in response to a stressful, exciting, dangerous, or threatening situation. Adrenaline helps your body react more quickly. One can reduce adrenaline by activating relaxation response ( in contrast of fight and flight response) by doing meditation, yoga, playing a sport, listening to music ect. One can do relaxation exercises like Jacobsons progressive muscular relaxation, pranayam and through guided imagery.
