I found a case study where someone was on Ciprofloxacin (the antibiotic that permanently fucked us up) and then put on Clarithromycin (the one we've just been on) and ended up on a psych ward because of the psychiatric side effects of the Clarithromycin, and apparently they wore off within a week so I guess that's something? maybe?

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #posts made on pain meds #<- still not sure if it counts but I feel like every post we've made since taking the Clarithromycin needs some kind of special tag #because it sure as shit feels like we're intoxicated with something regardless of whether we've taken pain meds #I feel like I can't fully convey to people what I'm actually experiencing and how much it's fucking me up #and I'm just desperately hoping that it does ease off as quickly as in this case study #but y'know when you're experiencing something and you can tell even when it's over it's gonna have a lasting effect #because it's just been that stressful and overwhelming you're probably gonna have new triggers and a bunch of stuff to process?#yeah. I'm sure this definitely won't exacerbate any of our existing medical trauma or give us new triggers and fears around this stuff /s #I hate it because people already act like we're overly fussy and ridiculous for having actual trauma from nearly fucking dying #but then stuff like this happens and makes it worse and gives us really oddly specific triggers and issues #and people take us even less seriously because they think it's ridiculous or that it can't actually have been that bad #which then leads to them treating us even worse and that leading to even more issues and it becomes a vicious cycle #meanwhile basically all our medical trauma comes down to feeling like we're being stripped of our autonomy #which is... not an unreasonable thing to freak out over?
