Stress Center Peer Support

I don't like typing many threads about alot of things going on lately because i dont want to bug anyone since this problem has been going on for a few weeks..


I have been going to the doctor for yeast infections and a bacteria infection there as well.

I've been taking alot of antibiotics for the past few weeks. its been like 6 or 7 weeks now.

I had symptoms of UTI. and the doctor didnt even see me telling me that it was my anxiety...

I went to the hospital and got medicine for a Urinary Tract Infection.


I went back to the doctor and she told me to stop taking them because she got the files from the hospital and it said i had a little bit of vaginal bacteria.

I was hurting so bad feeling like i had to pee and she told me i had bladder spasms because my urine was clear.


So then she gave me 2 antibiotics Doxycycline and Flagyl. I took them for about 4 days and could barely eat at all or hold down food and i lost alot of sleep. Even with taking Oxybutinin for my bladder spasms.

I had to get off all of these medicines because i was feeling so weak i couldnt get out of bed and it started giving me panic attacks and anxiety attacks from the stress of taking these pills and how they were making me feel.

I called the doctor she said to take it or she will not see me again. I tried to take the pill one more day and i threw up and shook and threw up and got so sick i felt like my body was dying.


Now i get off of all these medicines i feel better i can eat again but my stomach is still weak from taking them. THough the anxiety went away and the only thing bothering me is the bladder spasms since i quit taking oxybutinin.


I called again today. She told me she would see me on the 17 but DOESNT want to see me unless i take those antibiotics again.

She told me not to come back until i was on antidepressants as well since i get nervous and stressed.


WELL.... The WHOLE REASON WHY I AM NERVOUS AND STRESSED is because she keeps telling me to take these pills when they are making me sick!!!!!


I do not understand why she will not believe me ... do i have to take the pill in front of her and show her what it does????


I am even more depressed than i had a bad breakdown today after the phone call with the doctor.

I feel completely alone and like noone will listen or understand me on how these antibiotics are making me feel.

There must be some other antibiotics that wont make me sick. that i can take atleast 1 instead of 2 for 14 days like she said.


My family are even stressed at this too i cant even talk to them because they are tired of hearing about my pain wtih my bladder spasms and how im upset wtih the doctor and even doctors in general they are tired of and i dont want to stress them out because they have their own problems with bills and stuff.



I have no idea what to do about this..

i really do feel lost. i keep praying and praying.


My urethra feels like its going to rip in half sometimes with this bladder spasms.. i dont know what to do to ease the pain of bladder spasms but every second i get upset because my own doctor is doing this to me making my own anxiety worse. I pray to god bladder spasms go away on their own.

LostGirl -

Can you change doctors? Remember that a doctor is there to serve you, not the the other way around. If you feel you are being mistreated or are not getting good service, start looking for help elsewhere.

Good luck,

I'm trying to find another doctor but its hard to find a gynocologist since they push their appointments to next month or longer..

Hi Girl
Holy Cow is all I can say!! Sorry you are going thru so much med drama! I think you should talk to your pharmacist and tell them whats going on and see if they can suggest some alternatives? You may be allergic to the fillers and dyes in the pills maybe? But consider calling your pharmacist. I would call at a time when it's slower not when they are hammered with filling scirpts.
I will be praying that things turn around for you soon and that you get a breakthru. Hit the cranberry juice big time and lots of fluids in the meantime .
take care

Hi girl, I wanted to let you know that I can't take alot of antibotics either. My dr. has prescribed boric acid capsules for yeast/bacterial vaginal infections for me before. You have to get them at a compounding pharmacy. My dr. is alternative and traditional both. Also, she has had me take probiotics for my guts before as that helps restore the proper balance of good bacteria in there! Sounds like yours may be wiped out with all the antibotics.

And I agree with SeaRunner to see another dr. if this one isn't helping!! They are there for YOU. Hope you are able to get the help you need.

Ms Helpful excellent idea. Compounding pharmacist and pharmacies really seem to be the better way to go lately.
Girl hang in there ...

My doctor won't even see me back. She thinks its my anxiety causing the bad stomach aches but i've tried FLagyl and Doxycycline many times and got sick every time. I feel like no one will believe me not even my family. And that is something to REALLY cause depression and anxiety..

I have been dealing wtih this for 7 weeks or more. I am not sure if the bacteria is gone or not or if its just a yeast infection i cant go into anywhere to get checked because my main doctor wont see me until the 17th. And my family is so tired of this problem they gave up on it. Even talking about my problem they get angry at me and tell me to shut up about it.

So i dont know what to do.. The main thing is that i am worried that the bacteria could get worse.. because i dont know much about it or have ever had bacteria in that place or had that and yeast infections for 7 days along with Bladder Spasms i started to get..

Its very stressful and last night i had a big panic attack because i felt like no one believed me when i say the antibiotics made me sick bad even when i ate something. They keep saying it doesnt and i feel like no one will believe me except for you from what you have just told me. Lately going through all of this stress with the doctor and family has been giving me alot of panic attacks more than i normally have.
