I was on amoxicillin for a chest infection and tonsillitis last week and it cleared up my chest but not my throat and because I am on Methotrexate, I have to be careful about which antibiotics I can take so I was given clarithromycin by the out of hours doc last night. I'd never heard of or been on these ones before.
I've got the packet in front of me but can't bring myself to take them. The side effects and what I've read online sound hellish. I have a severe fear of vomiting and that is the number one thing scaring me, I know it sounds silly to those who don't have the phobia. Also worried about the insomnia and worsening of MH symptoms I've read about. I am struggling badly with dissociation at the mo so I am worried about the meds making it worse and I need all the sleep I can get which is hard enough to get these days.
I thought my fear of meds would be lessened now after being on methotrexate and being fine on it despite all the horror stories you hear about it but the old health anxiety fears are back full force. Can anyone else relate to health anxiety? Its hellish 😔
