What Causes Shivering, Lightheadedness And Tingling In Limbs After Taking OptiMind And Nyquil?

Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Any medication which acts on the central nervous system has the potential to sway the delicate and very intricate neurotransmitter balance in the brain hence provoking side effects like anxiety in your case.
It is difficult to pinpoint which component in Optimind was the cause or if it was a combination of things, because Optimind isn't one single medical ingredient it contains many different components which act on the nervous system in different ways from each other. Some of them are herbal products which aren’t well studied at all.
Anyway I think their chemical effect after a month is over now. So it’s not the direct drug effect now, but it is more a psychological issue which you are dealing now, probably due to you being more prone to anxiety. You are finding it difficult to cope with that experience and the stress you went through has triggered more permanent anxiety symptoms.
You will gradually get better, but for a short period of time it could help taking a course of benzodiazepines like alprazolam 0.25 once or twice daily for 2-3 weeks. It shouldn’t be taken for longer as it creates tolerance and dependence. Actually it would be ideal if you could avoid it and try exercise, relaxation techniques and activities like yoga, but if it really is affecting you functioning a short course of benzodiazepines should help. Avoid substances like caffeine and alcohol.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
