I normally have some level of anxiety but I’ve been having really extreme anxiety and panic attacks over the past few day. The only thing I’ve taken that I don’t usually take is loratadine for allergies. I’ve seen online that it’s meant to have the reverse effect on anxiety but I’ve also seen maybe one of two other people asking the same thing with no definite answers.

Anybody else get this?

I also haven’t taken any today and I haven’t had any panic attacks. My anxiety is at base level too.

    That’s not normally a side effect of that drug class, but anything is possible. Have you gone to urgent care or something for the panic attacks? I would definitely recommend seeing someone. Have there been any lifestyle changes recently?

    This is not medical advise, so please ask your doctor, but I have had better luck with cetirizine as an anti-allergy med. It’s worth checking out.
