I recently had a very bad chest infection and this will be my second course of antibiotics. With the first set (penicillin based) I had bad stomach ache and nausea, but no other symptoms.
Last week I was prescribed this newer antibiotic as the infection hadn't completely cleared up and since then I've started to develop some very unpleasant sensations :-
Extremely vivid dreams that seem to last the entire night.
Extreme brain fog
Invasive subconscious thoughts that appear more powerful than my conscious ones
Tight band around head
Visual jitter, feels like my brain cannot process what I see fast enough
Overall confusion
I've had slightly similar symptoms before with my GA, but never to this level.
I've been very ill and flat on my back for two weeks or more so I'm wondering if this is just a side effect of illness and immobility. My instinct is saying it's not though.
I've finished the course now so I'm hoping the side effects will just wear off. I was wondering if anybody else had experienced similar symptoms on similar medication. I also wonder if I'm more prone to these rare side effects as I already had a history of anxiety.
