It's strange but anxiety always seems to get much worse during and after an illness (colds, flu, etc). So is it just me or has this been other people's experience as well?.

I have another (and completely off-topic) question that I have wondered about ever since I joined this forum. What is the name of the script used to run this forum?. I've seen only one other exactly like it on another site I used to visit. Just wondered. I'm not planning to set up a forum or anything - yeah, like I even have the energy for that!!.

Just a thought. Sometimes, the over-the-counter cold medicines make me jittery and nervous. Could it be that, Greygoose?

I think anxiety does get worse when taking OTC meds. I had one of my worst panic attacks while taking Paxil and Tylenol Cold.

Agreed. I have a thyroid problem too and boy with cold medicines, anxiety greatly increases. And with other meds too. There are very few cold meds I can take. The last time I had a panic attack, I had taken a cold OTC med. I was blinking my eyes compulsively and driving myself nuts. AGH.
