Can a cold effect brain chemistry ??

Posted by linkadge on May 2, 2003, at 11:43:37

I have have a horrible cold, my body
aches, and I am freezing cold.

Allong with this has emmerged a horrible
anxiety and overwhelming suicidal feeling.
I just can shake it and don't know where it
came from.

I am taking Lithium 1200mg and Celexa 10mg
and am so terribly frieghtened.

I the past, a cold would make me much nicer
and more agreeable around my family.
Could the cold be boosting my serotoinin
to Serotoin syndrome levels ??

This is the worst I have felt in my whole
entire life.

Please Help

It sounds like you should call a doctor ASAP and find out what the problem is. It's probably not serotonin syndrome but it is exacerbating your anxiety and depression so you need to set your mind to rest. Hope you feel better,
