I've been dealing with anxiety for 20 years, and recently I started using A78 Chronic Anxiety Drops. But now, I'm noticing things like body heat and mouth ulcers. Could these issues be related to the drops, or is there something else going on?

I'm currently on a rabies vaccine regimen and I've taken three doses with one more to go. Lately, I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and I haven't slept in two days. Is it safe for me to take sleeping pills?
There is no direct interaction between the rabies vaccination regimen and commonly prescribed sleeping pills. However, do not take any kind of sedative medication without consulting a certified physician.
