Summary
Wrote on day 12 of a COVID-19 infection that basically all of their symptoms had gone, but that intense waves of anxiety had come on over the previous two days for no reason. They already had an anxiety disorder, well controlled on Lexapro, and had reacted badly to Prozac in the past. They asked whether the anxiety could be a side effect of the infection.
