I've recently had reactions to new meds in the form of anxiety or panic attacks. I've had this over the years with other meds and there have been other members who have posted about similar reactions. I've started a sticky thread to collect experiences over time and see if this is the case for a few or many.
I'm talking about meds/substances that cause restlessness, agitation, anxiety, paranoia - distressing psychological symptoms in other words.
Mine include:
- caffeine
- marijuana
- steroids (had these for cancer treatment)
- pain meds following surgery - e.g., morphine
- Ozempic (diabetes/weight loss med that works in part on the brain)
Looks like the common denominator is that these work on the brain. That said, I do take SSRIs and Gabapentin and neither seem to be a problem so
