    oh god please just kill me. it would be so much easier and kinder on me. i cant do this, i literally cant. i just spent the past hour v*ing pus. i cant take my meds, i literally cant. i'm on biaxin right now for massive infections (lungs, throat, sinuses) and ive had exactly one pill. and i just cannot take another one. not if it makes that happen. i really do want to die right now, i cant calm down. it was bad enough when i was coughing the crap out of my lungs, that alone scared the s*** out of me. but i can not do this drug. not for another 13 doses. not if thats whats going to happen.


    oh god, please just kill me, i cant do this, really, i know i cant

    I think first, you need to try and calm yourself. you WOULD NOT be feeling better if you were dead. Being alive is our most precious gift because we CAN FEEL and we feel love and joy and fun. Unfortunatly sometimes we might feel bad and sick and sad too but you have to be strong and take the good with the bad. However, that DOES NOT mean that you have to feel THAT sick!!!! I'm so sorry that you feel so ill, You need to go to your doctor or emergency roomASAP so they can help you to feel better. Mabey you DONT have to take those pills. Mabey they can give you medicine intervenously so it won't cause stomach upset. Or mabey the dosage is too strong for yiou. But PLEASE take your power back and get yourself help asap!!!!

    my mom is calling teh dr to see if they can change the prescription. i do know i need to be on antibiotics, ive been really sick because i am running so many infections. but the most common side effect of this drug is it rips up your gut because it is so strong. (then again, it is also used to treat h. pylori ulcers so it kind of has to be).

    ty, the doctor switched drugs for me this morning, im now on avelox (another broad spectrum, powerful one) but im more than a little nervous because he prefaced it with...this will probably make you n*, take it with gravol. the thing is i know i cant get away from that class of drugs, because i am running 3 infections however, all of them are so bad for the stomach and that is not going over well with me.

    Thats good that your meds were switched. Biaxin is a rough medication. Keep us posted and I hope you feel better!

    I have been on Avelox, and didn't get sick, not even nauseated. My dr. and pharmacist told me right away when I got the prescription that it would make me have diarhea and that didn't even happen, I made sure to take it with food, so do that if you can. Hope you get better!!!!

    thats funny, they told me if i do have d* too see the dr right away because it could be a really serious complication. im not a fan of this drug because it does come wiht so many rules about how to take it and so on. I dont know if its just the biaxin leaving my system still or if it actually is the avelox, but my stomach hasnt settled all day. but they also told me to take a whole lot of gravol with the pill so i think im going to listen to them on that part.

    Can you see if they can prescribe you something stronger like Compazine or Phenergan?


    I am in the hospital right now and on IV tobramycin and pipercillin, I take them with IV benadryl and a shot of compazine so I don't v' from it (because the staff understands my fear, and in general try to heed to it).


    I hope you feel better soon.

    thanks but the doctor seems to think gravol will do the trick. i am feeling ebtter this morning though so it probably was the biaxin still affecting me. im sorry to hear you are in the hospital. i hope you get ebtter real quick

    I took some medication recently that made me get D but I would rather have that over V any day. I remember a while back they had me on Previcid for my acid reflux disease and man did that stuff EVER make me sick. I didn't V but I had dry heaves and my stomach was killing me. Luckily they put me on nexium and I haven't had the same problem since. I hope you start feeling better soon, it sucks that you have infections .
