have been doing well,his past while,just the odd anxious day,but mostly felt happy.last thursday I felt weak and had nausea,took myself to the DR,and I had a UTI, he gave me ciprofloxacin,antibiotics,I started these on thursday night,felt a bit anxious,but put it down to the infection,I noticed that the xanax wasan't helping much either,anyway yesterday Iwent for a drive with my hubby,and I had a panic attack,before the attack I felt out of it,ears ringing,an disoriantated,this hasant happened me in a long time,so I thought what is going on here,I realised this started with me taking the antibiotics,so I googled them,and lo and behold,they can increase anxiety,some of the side effects people had to suffer was ridiculious.I stopped them immediately..anyone else taken these or know anything about them,please let me know.xxxxx

Hi

I am on antibiotics at the moment , not the ones you are on though

I do find I get side effects , sleeping gets worse , feel anxious more , but I do have a med fear as well which doesn't help

I carry on though thinking its 10 days & I will be better & then I don't have to feel this way , as there are so many I cant take

If they were affecting you that bad , go & see GP , you no doubt will still need some , but there are so many different ones that I am sure they can put you on another

I hope you feel better soon

Love

tnx whywhy,I am getting them changed 2moro,I know there are plenty more,without these weird side effects,I honestly wasan't anxious about taking them,it was def the tabs ,I never had a worse antibiotic,never,never,again,I actually feel better already,...love Mia,xxx

Hi Miarose,

I hate taking anti-biotics, they always disagree with my stomach. Currently I have been prescribed by my dentist metronidazole for oral thrush and mouth ulcers, which make me feel nauseous.

I hope you get yours changed today and feel better.
