1 | acute pharyngitis | Bad taste in my mouth, increased anxiety, severe nausea, fatigue | I have general anxiety disorder and this medication has made my anxiety so much worse. It's undoing all the work my anti-anxiety meds have done for years. I haven't had a bad panic attack in so long, and I got one because of this medication. Horrible.

I thought it was just the infection but I had the teeth pulled and abscess drained.

Day I, I was Ok. A bit strong of an antibiotic but still manageable. Here I am day 4 and I want to Kill myself. My thoughts are not my thoughts anymore. Im forgetting basic words mid sentence. I find myself sitting in parking lots for long periods of time doing nothing. My chest HURTS and burns severely. Constant back, shoulder and neck pain. Throbbing headache. Severe diarrhea. And the anxiety is out of this world. I feel like Im on constant edge. Its so bad Ive resorted to my room and kept away from my family b/c I do not want them to see me like this. The only reason why Im going to continue is because my doctor said if it does not work, they are going to prescribe something much stronger. So glad I found this page b/c I thought I was going insane. Praying this is the 1st and last time I will ever have to take this medication. | M | 31 | 10 days 300 1X day | 11/4/2022 | 1 | Virus | Made me want to jump out of my skin | F | 63 | 1 days 150 1X day | 7/31/2022 |
