Does Acyclovir Cause Anxiety?

I took 800 mg acyclovir this morning and am experiencing quite acute anxiety. Not a full panic attack, but definitely not comfortable. I took it because I have just started a shingles outbreak. I also take Bupropion, 30 mg Adderall (generic) and 40 mg fluoxetine. Are there negative reactions between acyclovir and these other drugs?

Thank you for trusting HCM!



Adderall may contain Amphetamine. It may cause palpitations and anxiety effects etc...

Acyclovir less likely to cause above symptoms.

Please consult your doctor. He will examine and treat you accordingly.




Take care
