I normally have some level of anxiety but I’ve been having really extreme anxiety and panic attacks over the past few day. The only thing I’ve taken that I don’t usually take is loratadine for allergies. I’ve seen online that it’s meant to have the reverse effect on anxiety but I’ve also seen maybe one of two other people asking the same thing with no definite answers.

Anybody else get this?

I also haven’t taken any today and I haven’t had any panic attacks. My anxiety is at base level too.

    I’ve seen people mention it. In general, drugs that are meant to have a certain effect, especially in the mental health realm, often have the exact opposite effect. At least temporarily in the first few doses.

    Anyway, I don’t know anything more, but I’ll pitch the [email protected] community. There’s a stickied list of other communities you may find helpful.
