Yes - never had anxiety before this. Infection end of Nov 2023. December was fine. Mid january, this all started (6 weeks post infection). Anxiety was high along wirh blood pressure. And my platelet count kept coming back high (mid to upper 600s). I started hydroxizine and it helps. I also started pepcid since it too is a histamine blocker (h2). Hydroxizine is an h1. I tried Lexapro but couldnt handle the onboarding. It amplified my anxiety like crazy.
So I take the hydroxizine, morning and night along with pepcid. And baby aspring. I take some supplements (buffered vitamin c, NAC, nattokinase, and zinc). The past 4 days Ive felt almost normal.
Without help from understanding doctors, this is tough. Feels like experimenting. But thats how we’re fumbling through.
