Not sure if anyone noticed, but approximately 10 days ago, my comments and posts suddenly became increasingly darker, fatalistic, depressing, and I finally forced myself to stop commenting on things and took a break from the site to avoid it continuing. 12 days later, 2 days after taking the last antibiotic tablet, and suddenly brain is vastly different. I really wish doctors would listen to me when I tell them how hypersensitive I am to medication and the bizarre paradoxical side effects I tend to experience.
dashn - that's a very important observation. Make sure you note the name of that particular antibiotic and STOP TAKING IT. There are others. Carry the note in your wallet. One day it's just comments on a website. Another day it's jumping in front of a train.
Thanks. I saved the prescription sticker, along with the other antibiotic the doctor wanted me to take (which I didn't take), have two appointments next week, one to get a second opinion, other with the doctor in which I'm gonna be very vocal in terms of what he tries to prescribe me in the future. The list of the seemingly common medications I can't take is growing longer each year.
I think that's the hard lesson I learned this time. When asked if I have allergies to any meds, I always answer than I'm hypersensitive to medication and tend to have bizarre paradoxical side effects. But I think from this point on, I'm gonna have to do as you suggested, and say they're allergic reactions. Sucks when you have to lie to your own doctors, which seems counter-intuitive.
