The day after tomorrow my bf and I are flying out on vacation, and of course I have a sinus infection.
So my doctor is aware that I am emetophobic and that I have anxiety, and he gives me thig drug called "Azithromycin" -an atiobiotic for the sinus infection. An hour after taking it, my stomach LUCHED and churned and I started getting n* waves. I immediately gulped down an aitivan and a zofran. I'm feeling better, but I do NOT want to take this medication on vacation and feel like this. I still feel icky and dizzy.
I read lots of online reviews about this particular med, and people say their anxiety shot through the roof on this, that the nausea was insufferable, they couldn't sleep, and that some of the symptoms didn't go away for DAYS after taking the med. I can only relate that feeling to Compazine (an anti-emetic). Does it's job, but it literally makes me feel like I am going crazy, and it last for two days AFTER I take the medicine..I can't go through this again.
WTF Doc???
Anyhow, If you guys have had any successful anti-biotics that have helped you with sinus infections, can you let me know what it was? I am going to ask my doc for something else.
