Post Flu Anxiety And Minor Depression Posted: 02-01-05 19:45pm
I had a 101 degree fever for about 5 days
(possibly flu) and im cured now. I took
ibuprofen (200 mg for about 5 times a day)
and hydrocodone syrup (5 ml for about 5
times a day). But in the process I
developed a bit of anxiety (and possibly
minor depression) on the 4th day and it is
continuing even now, 2 days after im cured
of the fever.
Is this normal? Have there been cases
where after flu patients have developed
these symptoms of anxiety and minor
depression?
I saw that ibuprofen can have these
effects but any expert comments will be
helpful. It would also be very helpful if
you can recommend some foods/drinks which
will help me get through this quicker.

I had a flu which lasted 3 days then some
lingering effects of it lasted over 4
months and still going - dr's say it's
anxiety. How does your body feel? I am
totally functional but just a little off,
almost like a mild flu, but with no
temperature
