Hey! Firstly, I'm pretty sure no one on this site recognizes my name anymore and I don't recognize anyones either, its been awhile! I do check in from time to time to read, but I don't post much. Anyway, the past few months have been really good, I have "stabilized" myself I guess you could say when it comes to this fear. But tonight I'm having a bit of a weak moment and I thought maybe I should vent. I went to my doctor today and she told me I have a sinus infection. Thats fine, but she prescribed me some antibiotics, they're amoxil or something like that. Anyway. They are HUGE! They look like frickin horsepills and they freak me right out. I am an idiot and figure the bigger the pill, the more potent they must be. I know thats not necessarily the case, but I never claimed to be a rational human!! Anyway, they are 500mgs and i have to take them 3 times a day. Of course the very first side effects they list are nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. GREAAAAAATTT.So what do I focus on all day? Yep you guessed it. Anyway, I took one at 3pm and after about 2 hours my stomach started to feel completely rotten and it lasted until about 2 hours ago. I have to take another one in 5 minutes and I am so scared that another one will make it even WORSE and then I will for sure be sick. I look at it as though I'm piling one on top of the other and if one was bad then taking another will make it even worse. I just ate some toast so that my stomach won't be empty but I am so scared. I don't want to wake up in the night feeling sick, thats my worst fear.Does anyone have any words of wisdom? By the time anyone gets to this it will probably be tomorrow and I'll have already taken it, but at least I got to vent.


Thanks for reading.........
