Hi everybody, I’ve been here for a while and this site has helped me so much but never posted anything, anyway I was diagnosed with a uti and given this antibiotic, however I am feeling the side effects which is making me very anxious. I feel weak, have stomach cramps and nausea I also feel lightheaded, I feel like I am going to have a panic attack and cannot sleep, this is the first day of taking this and I have 6 more days to go. I know it’s important to finish the course . I am so anxious right now and trying to calm myself down, any positive feedback would be appreciated.

Doctor tomorrow probably they’re to Strong for you.

I was taking antibiotics and it made me very sick I had to stop taking them.

I couldn’t stop Throwing up and when I seen the doctor

She told me because I wasn’t eating with the antibiotics.

And she gave me something else to u use and it had less side effects.

And am praying u feel better, so u can be able to get a couple of hours of sleep.

Good luck and am sending you a hug 🤗 and positive energy and good vibes your way.
