Antibiotics - do they totally wipe you out?

Funny you should post this as I've been having a really similar problem with some that I have never had before (the wiping out that is). I'm takingNitrofuratonin, and I get totally floored. Feel fuzzy, bit sick, really really tired.

According to my Dad it does happen with some.

Yep, I'm exactly the same. It's nearly 3.15 here and I've only just managed to get dressed. The ABs I'm on for bronchitis & pneumonia are not only wiping me out, but making me dizzy, and giving me this horrendous metallic taste in my mouth ?

And sadly I'm the same as you with how you're feeling .. including the Tenalady requirements ?

Hope you're better soon ?

Oh strange thats its happening to you too, Im on Erythromycin (which Ive had before as Im allergic to penecilin) But Ive never been zonked before. I need to eat an hour after taking them and TBH theyve wiped out my appetite too, so I dont feel like eating but I know I have to.

Its wierd.

Hope you feel better soon DD

Oh Gawd Peaches, that sounds ruff, hope you get better soon my lovely. What a set we all are!

(I was worrying that I might be getting old with the need for Tenalady, but Im conforted knowing that Im not alone there bless you!)

I was on Erythromycin and Metronidazole a few weeks ago, and they made me feel really dizzy and odd at times.

Well 4 people is confirmation enough for me that they wipe you out. Heres to feeling spaced out for the next few days then!

I'm allergic to Penicillin too, so I've been put on Clarithromycin

I've just looked at the side effects again, and now I realise why my period pain painkillers aren't helping. It's probably a side effect from the ABs - awful cramps.

Don't you just love being sick? They give you stuff to make you better, and you end up feeling crapper than a crap thing living in Crapville. Gah ?

I've done nothing today other than sleep, take pictures of the cat, sleep, ignore phone calls, doze .. and dress.

Get well vibes for everyone.

Im the same Peaches, done bugger all, except drink water, cough, pull muscles, cough some more, feel spaced out and doze. I hate it

I second your proposal, with a great big GET WELL SOON FOLKS xx

Can I join the club?

I'm on Metronidazole and Doxycyclin plus mefanemic acid painkillers. I took my first doses this morning and 30 mins later was so nauseous I puked a bit.

Then I discovered I should have eaten before the tablets, not afterwards - doh!

But I'm not exactly all there right now.

*welcomes alison to the dozy and sick feeling antiB club*

Ive just checked mine again and mine are deffo to be taken an hour before eating, quite what Im going to do after I take my last one at 11pm I dont know, cos I sure as hell wont feel like food at midnight!

Hope youre feeling better soon too alison. x
