My wife and I got our first shot(Moderna) on March 9th. Over two days, had significant pain in the arm and felt like I had a mild cold. My Tourette Syndrome flared, but by day three, my mood began to take a nose dive. Suicidal thoughts ramped up. Sleep, which has been a challenge for years, got worse; waking up multiple times during the night and strange dreams.

I suspect that when phase 3 trials were being conducted, people afflicted with any mental illness were excluded, thus we don't know the psychiatric side effects of any of the vaccines. I'm quite worried that the second shot will be like a kick in the gut, physically and mood wise. I've been barely functioning for many years and the irony would be that something meant to help us might send me over the edge. Calling my pdoc this week to discuss this.
