Question on Antibiotics


[...]

Recommended Posts

Hey all!

 

I need to go to the dentist for some well-needed dental work. I will be prescribed antibiotics. I know which ones not to take. That's not my question. Doctor will probably give me Amoxicilin. I am 4 plus months off a rapid taper. *Can* an antibiotic cause set back? Don't want to have acute now. Anyone took an antibiotic and had a setback? Please help. Thanks  :)

Don't take anything in the FLUOROQUINOLONE class.  I don't think they are generally prescribe for dental surgery, however.  Any of the old line ABs should be fine.

Yes! Thank you. I know about the Flor ones. What I really wanted to know is if members have taken an antibiotics this early on or whenever and got thrown in a wave?

I took a course of amox and a course of bactrim, both within 6 mos of jumping with no adverse effects.

I have been taking doxy, Bactrim and ceftriaxone for over a year because I have Lyme and have no issues.

 

Yea, i took antibiotics while taking benzos no problem. I would like to know if you take it once OFF and NOT healed from the Benos if it can cause one to go backwards?

I took Amoxicillin 3 months ago and it caused me a lot of problems!!!

 

Thanks for the response! What kind of problems did it cause? Did it take awhile to resolve?

Hi I have been given a quinolone antibiotic after taking valium for a couple weeks some weeks prior.

I am now 5 months later suffering from sever sound sensitivity and ear muscle tensing, anxiety, insomnia, blurry vision, body pains, night sweats etc.

 

Will this stuff go away or has this antibiotic permanently damaged me?

Iv been told it can cause benzo like withdrawals because if downgrades GABA

 

I would appreciate any advice on recovery tips

 

Blessings

I took Amoxicillin the summer after I got off the benzo's and Z-drugs and had a bad reaction and couldn't finish taking it all.  I got really bad anxiety.  I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and couldn't finish the round of antibiotics because of it.

Hi Gia,

I was prescribed Doxy because of my Rosacea, and the Doxy seemed to block the effect of the Diazepam and put me into a c/t wd!! I was laid up for about 10 days!! Then, I just quit taking the doxy and things got better!! A lot better!!

 

Can't believe it, but it is true!! Some antibiotics do have an affect on Diazepam!!

 

Hope this helped.

Thank you! I'm off the benzo. Was wondering about once off. I have taken then in the past. Amoxicillin and never had a problem. Not sure about now.

Apparently that type of antibiotic can cause problems. It's called being floxed. So Sorry

Blessings to you too.

Had a flare from Amox too...Doxycycline was fine with me.

 

Thanks Crazyypants! I have dental work. I'm scared to take an antibiotic. I have taken Amoxicillin in the past even on Benzo with no problems. Scared to now! How are you doing by the way? Any better?

Love.

Maybe ask the dentist if the antibiotic is really important?  Maybe you won't need it?  My dentist wanted me to take it before procedures since I told him I had a heart murmur as a child, but then we decided I didn't need it after all.

My son had dental surgery at 2 months post jump. Was put on 2 different antibiotics- long story. Anyway, he was put on Cipro and then an antibiotic of the amoxicillin type. I think it probably set him back about a month in recovery but they were necessary, so he would take them if he had to do it over again.

Hey Folks I am new here

I was on valium for several weeks at a low dose to help with insomnia due to a car accident.

I was then given levfloxacin for an infection and was pushed into CT Withdrawal

Anyone have any experience with this reaction and if it will heal

 

My insomnia is horrible i basically have not been able to sleep much at all
