Yeah I know you don't just stop antibiotics, Mary. But sometimes things happen.

I think day 6.5 was my breaking point with my sinus infection too when I had to stop them.

I set up an emergency appointment with my therapist for tommorow afternoon. I told her everything I was feeling including going off the antibiotic. She understood and didn't try to talk me into staying on it. I think she knew it was messing with things a lot and was the cause of things

I just threw up a bit cause I'm totally healthy. But I feel better. I also found a lot of blood on the toilet paper. Sorry for the tmi. I have a gastro appointment in May.
You really should let your doctors know you react badly to amoxicillin so they can put you on a different antibiotic. Like I said, I'm allergic to penicillin so I can't go on amoxicillin. They always put me on a different kind of antibiotic and I'm fine, like last month when I had atypical pneumonia.

Have them put it in your chart. Tell them you're allergic to it.
