Brief Answer:
There is no antidote

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can't confirm or exclude that your symptoms are related to Z-Pak. Z-Pak may indeed cause anxiety (despite rarely) and other related symptoms like nervousness, agitation, palpitations. Regarding to sleep side-effects, Z-Pak has been reported to cause somnolence, not insomnia or bad dreams etc

Your doctor is the right person to exclude all potential causes. The diagnosis of a new unreported side-effects is one of exclusion.

Unfortunately there is no antidote for that. You can only try treatment according to your doctor's diagnosis.

I hope I've helped!
Kind regards!
