I’m having to take Doxycycline for a severe chronic sinus infection and it puts me through the roof. Last night was the fist dose and I was out of my mind. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t focus on anything and all I could do was get up and pace around every 10 minutes or so.
Also, I have to have some of my back teeth removed and my ENT wants to do a procedure called Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. This is all too much for me to handle. I know that it’s all necessary and if I don’t do it, the infection could kill me- but any surgeries scare the shit out of me on a good day- and the meds are making it worse.
Apologies if I’m all over the place, but I’m out of my mind with all of this and I can’t calm down. I don’t know what to do. I can’t find a safe place in my mind to take a break from this and just be okay. Nothing feels okay.
I can’t take any of those medications either because i start having palpitations. Call you doctor and ask for a different prescription. I know that surgeries sounds scary but imagine not feeling what you are feeling right now. Hope you feel better
The problem with that is, there’s very little else that can be prescribed. I’ve already tried a few others that did little. This one has the best chance to actually work- but it’s unlikely I can remain on it long enough for it to make any substantial change to my condition.
