Yesterday was the first day in three weeks I haven't been in pain. Hooray! My appetite finally came back and my kidneys don't hurt. I still have a low grade fever every once in a while, and accompanying chills. The physical side effects have not been too bad. Last year when I took Bactrim I had, among other conditions, a case of oral thrush so bad I could barely eat. Currently I have an odd smell in my nose, and a small sore in the corner of my mouth (did you know those are partially caused by
fungus?). But then I see this:
Ciprofloxacin has highly pronounced side-effects in people suffering from panic disorder or/and depression. There have been reported cases of psychosis, suicide attempts, panic attacks and acute anxiety, all occurring during or shortly after ciprofloxacin treatment. Patients with previous or current psychiatric conditions, are prone to experiencing this type of side-effect. Caution is highly advised.
Oh goody. That explains why I don't really want to be alive right now. :\ They're also making me very, very, very tired. I should be studying right now but I can barely focus.
