I promised myself I would try my very best not to scan for symptoms or side effects since starting cipralex on Tuesday. And I'm really really trying!
Just a tinsy tiny annoyance I have to ask... (yes you may have seen me ask others but let's pretend!)
Started with a sore throat earlier today but now I feel like I need to constantly clear my throat.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Or is my hyperactive imagination found a new way to poke my anxiety??

PG,

This could just be a coincidence...and be allergy or virus related...just a little something you are fighting off maybe...or even air pollution irritation...

If it is the medication, it could be the common side effect of dry mouth...which is causing a scratchy throat, with the feeling of needing to clear it.

Either way...it is surely benign, and something that will clear soon, and that you don't need to worry about.:)

Peace and progress,

S.C.

Hi

That could be down to anxiety as I get that a lot when my anxiety levels are running on high.

Stick with the Cipralex and you should see some improvements keep us posted.

Thanks S.C and Hibee! I really appreciate your comments and support. I feel like if I push it out of my mind and just try to convince myself it's nothing dangerous it goes away. Not always easy but your assurances help a lot!
