Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Anxiety While On Zoloft, Alprazolam And Zolpidem?
I was a very active 82 year old in October, then I had a mild heart attack, no heart damage. I was sent to Boston from Bermuda to have a stint implanted but because the blockage was in an area where there was a kink or corner to the artery a stint could not be inserted. Thus heart surgery was recommended. I was doing quite well. When I returned to Bermuda I became very anxious and ended up in the King Edward VII. My thyroid medication was changed from 100 mcg to 150 mcg (hospital doctor) My regular doctors and my Psychiatrist have me on Zoloft, Alprazolon, Zolpidem. Could any of these meds cause thick foamy mucus at night?
Once again check your thyroid tablet dosage if it is not above the requirement. The other possibilities are hypertension, anemia or beri beri may present like anxiety.
Alcohol withdrawal syndrome may also present like this. Other possibilities like panic attacks or anxiety neurosis may cause this problem.
Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu,
