my problem is, after the surgery, i was prescribed antibiotics by the oral surgeon. clindamycin, that i took the day of the surgery and had a horrible upset stomach. i called the office, and the dentist prescribed amoxcillian instead. i took that and whoa, was my anxiety ever so terrible. i literally was shaking, and crying and felt horrible overall.
any support/advice is appreciated...

when i saw that you had anxiety I was happy because I thought I was the only one. When I took my antibiotics I had a feeling of impending doom severe anxiety and I cried for about a week for absolutely no reason. I was shaking and I didn't know what to do. I do not have any mental illness in my immediate family nor do I have mental illness LOL but this was absolutely insane; I took the antibiotics and within two hours I was in the worst feeling in my entire life and it lasted for about 8 hours after taking one pill. suffice to say I didn't take another pill that week. about 10 months later I was prescribed antibiotics is a precautionary after surgery and guess what? The same exact reaction occurred again. The first time I was given Levaquin and the second time I was given amoxicillin and the same exact reaction occurred in both antibiotics but this time on top of the feeling of impending doom and anxiety I also had a severe stomach upset and I felt like the creature from the movie Alien was going to rip out of my stomach. me and antibiotics and do not mix!
