Hello Lachlan,
no, I do not think so.
Although Formaldehyde is a poisonous gas, it works directly on the throat.
The feeling of drained comes in most cases from exposure to magnetic
alternating fields, as they are quite high with fluorescent lights.
There seems to be something disturbing in the light spectrum of those lamps
also, as it is with halogen lamps.
