Starting new antibiotic

[Emsnavvv]

So I have some sort of skin infection on my face, around my chin and around my dimples that my dermatologist and pcp can’t seem to agree what it is, so anyways my pcp but me on clindamycin and flagyl, I’ve finally worked my way up to take the clindamycin like fifteen minutes ago and I’m panicking that I’m gonna have an allergic reaction to it!!! I’m having palpitations and feel a little short of breath but I’m pretty sure it’s anxiety!!!! I just don’t know why I can’t rationalize this and know I’ll be okay! I’m freaking out!

You posted four hours ago so I'm hoping you made out ok with the meds?

[Emsnavvv in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes after about hour two or three I calmed myself down and rationalized with myself!!!

[Dolphin14 in reply to Emsnavvv]

Excellent glad you are ok

why can't they give you something topical?

I always opt for topical JUST for this reason.

I get too worked up taking any kinds of meds!

I’m doing a topical cream too but they said oral will kick it’s butt a lot quicker and it hopefully won’t spread
