Question:

Anxiety caused by medication?

Hi, I've had a breathing problem for the past 2 months. Finally, I'm taking daily Acid Reflux medication..Prevacid (started 3 days ago), as well as Fluconazole for a Fungus.

My family has a history of anxiety.

Right now my legs feel really light, my head and shoulders feel heavy, like I'm going to just pass out, I run my hands through my hair a lot, move my legs and stuff.

Is this anxiety? And do you think it's caused by the medication? What's the best thing to do?

Thanks ahead of time.

  1. I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

    I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



    I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!



    Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia and more.

    Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



    The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



    carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air


  2. Prevacid can cause anxiety like symptoms-jittery feelings, sweaty palms, higher bp.  There are more natural ways to treat acid reflux especially if it is a mild case.  You may want to discuss this with your dr. or see a homeopath (specializes in natural medicine).  Good luck.

    p.s.  I guess you can ask yourself which is worse, the reflux or the anxiety and go from there.
