In reply to Zinc and Vit C lozenge = anxiety (!?), posted by psychobot5000 on November 19, 2007, at 17:31:51
The problem with anxiety is that a large component of it is psychogenic. I can take a supplement and start panicking before it's even had any time to have an effect. Check your breathing to see if it's shallow and causing anxiety and panic feelings seemingly out of the blue.
Vitamin C should reduce stress as it reduces the serum levels of the stress hormone Cortisol. Too much zinc can cause nausea, although if you took the standard dose then that would seem unlikely that it would contribute to any anxiety.
