Onfi and Anxiety
Mon, 01/30/2017 - 13:04Topic: Medication Issues
Has anyone experienced anxiety as a side effect to Onfi? I started on it a little bit ago and noticed as the dose increased my anxiety the morning after was worse. Anxiety was a aura for me, and other than feeling like an aura it will also cause aura. So it becomes a cyclical event. I get anxiety , it feels like an aura, i get more anxiety, the aura feels stronger. Nothing ever happens and I need to trust that the meds are working, but cause this side effect. Obviously I need to talk to my doctor about it, but I was curious if it has happened to anyone else. The onfi is actually working so stop taking it would really suck. Also, it has made me jittery. Anyone experience the same? I'm hoping its side effects that will go away with time. Just looking to see if anyone has had the same experience.
