So I've been having a weird very slight fever (or rise in body temperature) for the past ~two days. Usually my tempreature is somewhere below 37C (98.6 F) but now it has been between 37 C and 37.5 C (99.5 F). While that kind of temperature isn't even really classified as fever, for me it is pretty high. It makes me very tired and I feel sick. Basically I wake up feeling okay, then as the day goes along I get these shivers and start feeling hot and crapppy.
Right now I have two ideas to why this is happening. Firstly, after being on Citalopram for about 10-11 months, I gradually lowered the dosage from 30 mg to 10mg and last Thursday I took my final pill. I stopped this treatment because I didn't feel depressed any longer and my doctor thought so too. I got the withdrawal effects that I had anticipated (feeling a bit sick and having brain zaps). Quitting this drug might have sparked something in my body (the fever).
The reason I'm not entirely convinced on the theory presented above is because around this time last year, I had the exact same thing. It lasted for atleast a good month or so. I went to the doctor, she did some tests, nothing came out positive. She convinced me that I was depressed (which I was) and prescribed me Citalopram. After taking the drug for a while, the fever was gone (don't really remember how long it took).
I don't know if the fever went away last year because of being on Citalopram or because of something else. I'm trying to wonder if somekind of a pollen allergy or something is causing this.
If anyone of you has any ideas to what is causing this damn "fever", please let me know.
PS. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I'm also constantly on 2 x 10mg of Kestine. It's an allergy drug but mainly I take it to sleep better (no, I have ZERO idea why this stuff makes me sleep better but it works). On the other hand I'm also allergic to pollen so it fights that aswell.
