I suffer from anxiety disorder. I take medication daily for depression and panic attacks. I went to the doctor last week with a really bad sinus infection and she prescribed an antibiotic. Ok, here's the crazy part. I'm absolutley terrified to take it!! I'm afraid that it will have adverse affect on me, or I'll be allergic, or I've just got it in my head that this medicine is not good for me. Lately I read alot about how medicine affects people differently, and last time I took an antibiotic, I took one pill and was up all night having panic attacks. I do know that the panic attacks are caused by thoughts I'm having and that I'm not going to die, but it still doesn't make it any easier to get through one. I guess my question is, is this normal if you suffer from anxiety? I really don't know why all of a sudden I'm scare to take medicne. My sinus pain is hurting and I want to take the medicine, I'm just afraid it's going to cause panic attacks. What should I do?
Just to clarify, I only take one pill a day for depression. I have another medication that I take only if I feel that I am going to have a panic attack. But now I'm even scared to take that.
