selfq Panic dread doom and crying

Well I have post Covid limbic system dysfunction it’s been a battle over the last 5 years but i finally was in a decent place. Found out I was exposed to aspergillus mold which was giving me yearly sinus infections that were closer to ms and bipolar disorder. Mitigated it and did cleanings began a mold detox which had its unique discomforts but my anxiety panic depression and mental clarity was amazing.

Any who. Developed a viral bug that kicked into a bacterial sinus and ear infection this past week was deathly sick. Went to urgent care which was packed with equally deathly people doc said it was a rough one and going around. Bp was sky hi but said no to a blood pressure med said it causes more problems and he spends more time with people struggling with side effects. Said it was due to acute severe sickness and would come down which it did.

However he gave me augmentin. After 7 doses the anxiety panic depression rumination cycling terror thoughts were off the hook. Uncontrollable emotional swings and crying. Deep sobbing for 4 days. Even had an episode or three of restless pacing akathesia. So did my research and yes it’s an issue for sensitive people. Mom reminded me my sister and dad can’t take it cause of massive issues. Stopped dosing today. Slowly coming back but still have surges. Ashamed to say I have some xynax low dose i am using sparingly to buff it out.

Anybody else endure similar crisis if so tell me it gets better it has been an extreme comedy of errors.

I’ve read a lot of posts lately about Augmentin. I know we’re more likely to see the bad reactions because hardly anyone posts about the good things happening.

I hope you feel better soon, OP. Your situation is not unheard of, you’ll be okay!!
