I see you on lemmy.ca

You’re not alone but it’s definitely not a common side effect from what I’ve been told. Allergy medication gives me terrible anxiety that sometimes escalates into panic attacks. For me I can take it during the day and feel jittery/weird but manageable, then it feels like it wears off but later while I’m sleeping it escalates and I wake up in the middle of a full blown panic attack. Not fun at all.

I have talked to my doctor about it and their opinion was that it’s not a documented side effect but everybody is different and so I should just avoid taking them. That answer sucks for me because I’m allergic to basically everything outside.
