when I'm having an allergic reaction and I don't know it (or even when I do know it)I get panic-y. I think it's a side effect. I feel like everything has gone wrong and I'm going to get in trouble for no reason. If I don't take care if it I go into a full panic attack. I could also get violent and/or paranoid instead of panic-y. Is this normal? does anyone else get this problem?

Do you have life threatening allergies? If so, it could be the fear of knowing that something bad will happen can cause a panic attack. Do you take any meds for anxiety?

Allergic reactions trigger certain chemicals to be released into the body. Histamine is one of them, and histamine also happens to be a neurotransmitter. It is possible that one of the side-effects of a lot of histamine could be panic. Also, if you take Epinephrine (EpiPen) at the onset of the reaction, it is possible the panic is a side-effect of the drug.
