I was sick for a while, in serious amounts of pain from an infected lymph node in my neck and ended up with TMJ from it. OUCH. ok ouch don't even cover the amount of pain I was in. I found it rather depressing since I was finally starting to heal a bit from my back. So I go to the dr and get antibiotics, found out I have arthritis in my back and got meds for both. Two new medications I have never taken before. I took the meds and by midnight Wednesday I was having horrible panic attacks and actual anxiety. (I rarely get anxiety unless there is a real reason to be anxious). I felt so odd though, my mind was fairly clear, which is totally odd because when I have panic attacks my mind is a ball of mush and I am totally helpless and vulnerable. But I wasn't. I called a hotline and talked for a long time and that helped some, and went to sleep. Woke up yesterday in a panic again... odd. I haven't done that in over a year. I ended up finding a new therapist and going to a session. I also felt so anxious and nervous my stomach felt icky so I didn't take the new meds and after spending time on campus and then visiting with my mom I felt really good. I ate dinner and took the meds again... and had a horrid night AGAIN. Last night though I took a sleeping pill and passed out thinking I would sleep it off. I awoke in a panic AGAIN today. So by then I was just pissed. I had already talked out everything that was bothering me with professionals, I had done everything I do that helps me calm down and here I was a shaking mess. It took me four hours this morning to eat enough to take all my meds and calm down even just a little. Then I realized... I wasn't having issues with my mental stability other than having issues concentrating because of a headache. So I started paying attention to my body and realized everything I was feeling I also felt when my blood pressure was really high. So I check my BP and sure enough its through the roof, then I notice the rash... So its a long ass story and you made it this far. YAY for you! this is actually important info to remember! I call my dr and I am freakin allergic to the antibiotic and it has pretty much canceled out my anxiety meds and my BP meds. Its like I haven't taken my regular meds in 3 days. They offered to call in something for the side effects and I told them HELL NO, I am not taking anymore freakin pills! Except one... benadryl. Guess what? Panic gone and other than being sleepy I am fine. My face don't even hurt anymore and I have a dr appt on monday to see if I even need an antibiotic anymore (its not a good idea to just quit taking anything before checking with your dr) Thought I would share and just a heads up. Something as simple as an antibiotic can make you feel like you are having a nervous breakdown. cheers! ❥ ♥ ♫ ♪ ♫“Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application. Practice.
