Prilosec/ anxiety😩

I understand your confusion with meds because I have the same thing. I will say that Excedrin caused me the worst anxiety attack I had in years - shakiness, mind racing, etc. and I've heard that other people have had this reaction to it too but maybe that one doesn't bother you so much. Seems like people have different reactions to medications so it's hard to say. I took prilosec for years and never related it to anxiety I had at many times during that period so who knows if it was the med or just me being anxious anyway. I guess the only way to really find out is to just take one med at a time for awhile (if that's possible) and see what reactions you have. I have been taking COQ10 for over three years for my palpitations and skipped heartbeats because I read it was one of the best medicines one can take for that and it certainly has helped me....I hardly ever get them anymore. However, I ran out of them over a week ago and hadn't bought more (they're very expensive) and I noticed my anxiety spiked to an extremely high level...much worse than it's been in years. So I went online and read up on COQ10....interestingly it said you should NOT stop taking it suddenly because your symptoms can return worse AND you can have withdrawal symptoms! Who would have known that a over-the-counter vitamin could cause withdrawal symptoms when stopping. So we really have to investigate any medication we take, whether prescribed by a doctor or even just a vitamin supplement. We all already know that alot of aspirin can cause stomach issues but there are also alot of other detrimental issues with other over the counter supplements. So be vigilant and test out each one you take to see what reactions you have.

Thank you all (: I've only tried prilosec because it's a soft capsule and I chew my meds because - with anxiety - I can't swallow a pill. A horse vitamin almost killed me - or so it felt - when I was a teenager ever since I haven't swallowed a pill. Not even my tiny Xanax ! But excedrin does give me anxiety because of the caffeine but when it's the onlyyy medication that you know works or relieve pain for migraines that's my go-to med for that issue ! I still take my pain meds after til because a lot of the Times it stems from my neck issues. When you have one health issue relating to the next it's so hard to sort it all out and eliminate any meds - i soooo wish I could because it's getting old ! ! )-:
