Pro biotics symptoms and conditions

i was/am on a combo of doxycycline (2 a day for 20) and bactrim (2 a day for 10) for MRSA in my knee that flared up a month after a run on clindamycin (2 a day for 10).

Ive been on Bactrim before, for staph 4 years ago, and i think it did the same thing to me. besides the headaches for the first 3 days, most of the time I felt like i was having some kind of minor hallucinations, looking at the world through a weird lense. Like i was about to start tripping on some wild drug. Insomnia, irritability difficulty focusing, and low energy. that and frustration and a bit depressed.

so i started to smoke some pot, and that made the vertigo and nausea subside, almost all the way gone. the hallucinations stayed, in fact they just got more interesting with the pot, they were like the peripheral hallucinations when one is detoxing from alcohol... DTs? u think someones standing next to you or a small thing moved on the floor next to your desk but nothings there when u focus on it. yea those.

also the M. J. helped me eat, which made me feel a whole lot better and i noticed my wound healing faster.

Probiotics are KEY with these antibiotics, Jarrodophillus +FOS was wat i took throught the treatment and after, so my poo got normal, and i was smooth sailing through the recovery.... until day 8 when i decided to stop the bactrim at 8 days. i got sick looking at the pill no matter how much pot i smoked.

i dont react well to wine with allot of sulfer in it, maybe its a similar situation.

anyway, medical marijuana helped me, so did pro-biotics, and weeing off the ibuprofin they had me on helped me with adverse side affects of that stuff, woo didn't know it could be sooo nasty (advil/ibuprofin)

cheers

Hello Friends, it's been a week after i finished my 21 day Doxy treatment for lyme, Im still feel lot of fatigue and joint pain, i went to see my doctor yesterday, he explained the fatigue is a normal side effect after finishing the treatment. I feel so weak headache and migraines. The doctor told me to take pro-biotics and vitamins to recover faster i just started taking the pro-biotics today so i have to wait how it goes. the dizziness, migraines and fatigue doctor said it's a normal symptom of Doxy,, I hope these side effects will go away soon. if anyone has the same side effects after the treatment please write me.
Drink a lot of water.

thanks for sharing your stories,, we are not alone here.

If Levaquin has all these side effects why do the Doctors give this medication to patients??
My Doctor give me 5 samples and are to be taken once a day.
I have osteoarthritis etc. and had a cold plus I had a bladder infection, should I be taking Levaquin??

I'm a 32 year old male. This is probably the 5th time I've taken Zithromax. Unlike previous experiences, this time I got a horrible rash on my face, chest, neck, and little red spots all over my body. They itch horribly and I'm hoping they go away on their own. I am going on week two and they are still around. Last year, I was given a very strong antibiotic for an infection that just wouldn't go away. I took one dose and threw the rest out because the resulting full-body rash was horrible. I think that some of us may develop an allergy to certain families of antibiotics as we age. Either that or our immune systems are degraded. Who knows. I've also been dealing with chronic anal itch for 2 years now, and that is a horrible thing to live with. FEELING OLD!

My 4 yr old is on it now and after reading all of your comments I am able to see similar side effects in my girl. Initially, she had diarrhea but it cleared up after two days and a lot of pro-biotics. Then we began to notice how excessively tried and drawn she was. Looking back on this last week she has also been irritable. I had attributed it all to her being sick, possibly the change in season but now I'm thinking it was this antibiotic.

DO NOT take antibiotics unless it is a Life or Death situation!
I have been diagnosed with CYSTITIS, based in my breasts & bladder, and now I'm scheduled to go in for other tests because I have had excessive bloating, IBS & pain in my gut.
I thought the Nuva Ring was causing my extreme random cramps, my breast soreness (Extremely Painful, making me want to inject them with novacaine, if it were a good idea...), my Pain During Sex (esp. since I have a lovely sex drive) and most recently, the constant urge to pee when I didn't, but it was NOT the birth control.
ANTIBIOTICS CAUSED THIS!
In the last month I have met 3 more women (& 1 man) with the same/similar problems and diagnosis, All on heavy antibiotics in the last year.
The good news is that it is Not cancerous to my knowledge, there are foods you can eat, like those that are good for reducing swelling, and it's a good idea to Avoid certain foods such as soy, anything too acidic like tomatoes, cranberries or citrus fruits & juices, preservatives, additives, really spicy foods, etc. **It is Very Important to take a Pro-Biotic capsule with At Least 4 different types such as Acidophilus, Bifidum, and others, depending on your symptoms & areas of concern (look up what bacteria does what). Taking these only during antibiotic usage Is NOT Enough!
The bad news? If a few months to a year of partial/full diet change does not help, it is considered either too late to help (get used to the pain, it's not going anywhere) or it may be an auto-immune disease, though this is quite rare.
PLEASE, LADIES -- Take Care when dealing with antibiotics, they are much more dangerous than many people/doctors know/are lead to believe. (And as for the yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis? Take 1 part Hydrogen Peroxide, 3 parts water, douche (rinse, do not let it set for more than 10 sec's) once a day before bed/naptime for a few days, splash Outside Only with cool water if needed, but Not inside. Burn/irritation for about 1 min. but Absolutely worth not waiting for a doc's prescript. or spending endless $ on crappy worthless ointments/creams. Totally safe when Diluted -- Hydrogen peroxide is made naturally on its own in All Vaginas, this just helps to kill yeasts and bad bacteria which are Anaerobic (do not like oxygen).)

I have been on Singular for 3 years, the Dr prescribed
this for allergies. This past year I have noticed an increase in
sinus drainage constantly and a cough. Also some wheezing when I
lay down. A nurse told me today about
the write up on Singular and coughing because of Lisinopril.
Well coincidentally just last week I decided to stop the Singular and
no more sinus. drainage. NO MORE SINGULAR FOR ME and I am also telling my friends about it.
Signed Relieved and no more cough

Oh my...I was perscribed levaquin last week and just took day 8 and wanted to see if the wierd sensations I was experiencing others were as well. I definitely have the dizzy light-headedness as well as nausea. No joint pain. I have broken out with what appears to be bad acne on my face. I'm 34 and haven't seen myself look like this since early teens. I have been taking pro-biotics along with these antibiotics so I hope I can avoid the scarey side effects others have described. Anyone else get the itchy face break outs?
