You know, it helps to understand things you are doing when taking prescription meds if you actually READ about them.

On a whim I decided to look up my antibiotics online. Clarithromycin. And I find this:

Most common side-effects are gastrointestinal: diarrhea, nausea, extreme irritability, abdominal pain and vomiting, facial swelling.

Diarrhea, I was warned against, and I have had mild. (not that you need to know that)
Nausea, only when I started. No abdominal pain, vomiting, or facial swelling.
Extreme irritability...

Ah, suddenly the apparent mood swings, the anxiousness, the getting angry, the pacing, the figiting, and a handful of other things makes a LOT more sense.

You think I would do more reading as to what I am putting into my body....
