I think I'm having side effects....

from the amoxicillin.
I took an hour nap and I kept waking up with some panic. My heart was racing and I was having severe stomach pains and

I know that stomach & bowel side effects are very common with antibiotic use. I always get them. I just got off a 10 day course of cipro & I was wiped out from the bathroom trips):
Heather,
Sorry you are having some side effects with this med. My med book says to take the medication with meals to help prevent side effects and to instruct female patients to use an additional form of birth control until next period ;-) This med will decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
Once you have been on the med 24 hours you should start to feel better. Hoping it happens soon!!
Hang in there,
Lisa
Thanks Jan,
Earlier when I couldn't swollow I took it and was barely about to swollow the pill. Now I will take the next dose with some food. My throat is feeling better and Jay just went out to get my favorite Lean Cusine pizza , I don't know that I can eat the whole thing but I'm sure it will help.
I am sorry that you have gone through the same thing but on the other hand it makes me feel better to kow that what i am going through is ok and that it means it is working.
Yes, I can take extra klonopin. I take .75 right now but I am able to go up to 1mg. I am going to do that tonight to (I Pray) prevent the nightime attacks. Those are the worst.
My Mom is also VERY sick, she went to the Dr today and is on the verge of dehydration. She has had things to drink and is better but I have been taking care of her and trying to take care of myself.
I look at it this way... last yr I had stressors which led to anxiety.. this yr I am having many of the same stressors. This is the 1st time I have been this sick since my dx... I think that maybe this is the last "test" for me. So I can see that I can manage this anxiety. I really don't know.. trying to look on the brightside I guess. I thought that I would crack after the 1st surgery but I have made it through 2 more and another coming.
Thank you for your support!!!

I am better today but really shook up still.

Hi Lynn,
I am doing much better today. Luckly for me I am in great heath and bounch back from things really fast. I took a little extra klonopin last night (the pdoc said I could) and slept like a rock, that helped a lot.
I'm so glad the boys are negative.
