Anxiety

Anxiety as a side effect involves feelings of worry and unease, potentially leading to restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and panic attacks. It can be triggered by various mechanisms, including drug effects on the CNS or hormonal imbalances, and is often exacerbated by pre-existing anxiety disorders.

Anxiety, in the context of a side effect, refers to feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. It can manifest as excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, sleep disturbances, and panic attacks. The severity can range from mild apprehension to debilitating panic. Drug-induced anxiety may be related to direct effects on the central nervous system, hormonal imbalances, or withdrawal symptoms. The presence of pre-existing anxiety disorders can increase the likelihood and severity of this side effect. It is crucial to differentiate between transient anxiety related to a specific trigger and generalized anxiety disorder requiring separate treatment.
