hi i hav recently been prescribed amoxcillin for a dental infection, i hate taking any form of tablets as i hav a fear of them being in my system, does anyone else hav this x

[Shanny]

Yes, I do.....mainly because of my fear of the unknown I think about what they will do to me once I have swallowed them, blah, blah, blah....but I have to remind myself that they will make me better and if this is for an infection....you've got to take them

[gypsywomen]

yes you must take them they dont have sideaffects dont worry ,,

[diddler]

Yep, me me me. In fact only a week or so ago I posted about my fear of amoxicillin, which I was prescribed for - a DENTAL INFECTION lol. As it happens the worst I got was a bit of indigestion (which was more than likely caused by the fact that I kept taking it on an empty stomach as I was so stresed), but I imagined much worse than that and got myself into a right old flap.

ha ha carys me 2. i gotta take another dose again soon and already panicing x

hi yep me to - but much better in the last couple of years - if you are unwell with infection its much easier to take meds i found, as really feeling poorly or getting blood poisoning is much worse than a few side effects - if you arent allergic - which youd know about - then its best to tolerate the side effects if there are any.

but id still be rubbish with taking antidepressants as they can have a bad effect on the way you feel completely - i mean if they dont suit you, you can feel horrendously bad.

at one time i couldnt even take vitamins! - for me as my mental state got better i got more confident and happier to take meds and to tolerate any side effects

hi emmas, yeah im like that with vitamin tabs, and dont even like energy drinks, it was takin a diazipem that made me have the fear with how it made me feel, and i cant take anti depressants x

[diddler]

and its good to know there int only me, i always feel stupid tellin docs and stuff

My doctor said it made a welcome change from people coming in to see him and demanding anti-biotics ! lol
