The flu gave me a spike in anxiety

Sure is.  Getting a bug during w/d or recovery is a double whammy to the nervous system.  I hope you feel better soon...take care.

Thank you very much for your response :)

Hi blossom I currently have a bad cold during my taper of Ativan and my anxiety and depression is x100. Did yours improve once your illness cleared up ?thanks!

How's your taper going by the way?

I am done :D

I got the flu on New Years Eve and my anxiety was AWFUL!!!! My insomnia was awful too, especially when I couldn't breathe out of my nose and my throat was already sore.

 

Glad you're feeling better.

I got the flu, not taking any meds except zyrtec. But my anxiety spiked with some tachicardia

Is this normal?

Yes! My anxiety and panic symptoms definitely go up whenever I am sick.

Just know that it's very, very common and normal for those of us who struggle.
