lissy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hey all,I always dread getting an infection because on top of the infection I have to deal with the med sensitivity. I'm use to taking the Z-pack but doc called in Cipro and from everything I read I told myself NO WAY shall I take that!!!!! and its huge!!!!!!! I called doc trying to get something else and hopefully she will...she kind of has an issue with SHES THE DOC and I am just a patient....The question to you all is whenever I read the leaflets i always see about Central nervous system disorders :::::Do we fall into that category???? I always get the craziest side-effects Tingling/Tachy/Flushing feeling faint even when laying down...What has been the safest antibiotics with the least side-effects for all???? And I do know everyone has different allergies.Lissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I do pretty well on the Z-pack but can't take Cipro at all. Amoxicillin isn't too bad either, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for always responding:) I know the cillins are the safest but allergic:( She hasn't called back yet either she might just blow me off then I gave to go to urgent care just for a new antibiotic!!!! Even with the Z-pack I still get side-effects but they're not severe ya know. Theres no way is H E double L I'm gonna add more possible permanent problems just taking a Med..Lissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've never had problems with cipro and it works really well on UTI's--as does Bactrin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Burschman Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I WON'T take Cipro, and docs won't prescribe it for me, because I got a clostridium difficile colitis infection that took a year to get rid of the last time (and only time) I ever took it. I've found that Macrobid works just fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I've been going through a pretty low period, but thanks for asking! You're a sweetheart. Doing some med changes, and I guess I'm in a 'waxing' stage. I don't know what I'd do without the forum and you and the others!Cheers,Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissy Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well Doc did exactly what I thought she said I have to take Cipro......And I told the nurse I just don't want to take chances to make my condition any worse!!! and they also didn't know what type of bacteria is to blame anyway not until 2morrow , so how would they know anyway that the Z-pack wouldn't work I get so upset when your own doctor don't understand how our bodies don't react normally . I don't know what to do , my husband just says take it but he doesn't take my sensitivity serious either and he needs to drive me to another place to get a different antibotic...why can't anything just be simple.LissyAnd Potsgirl it will get better I was at a very low period for over a year was improving for about 5 months then down again...Keep your head up and stay positive because that makes a difference on healing:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you sorta have to take'em and just work through it but i definitely wouldn't take something that could cause permanent damage. I know all about sensitivities. I usually have every single side effect possible. I have had paralysis as a result of an adverse drug reaction as well. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
