i haven't taken any meds for about six months now, save for the occasional Xanax.

You don't need them at the moment?


I don't feel like I do. If I keep my brain busy so it doesn't start to eat itself, I can live without meds. It helps that the job I have now is one of my obsessions, so it doesn't get boring or monotonous.


I've found that a lot of physical activity seems to do wonders as well. Helps me sleep better at night, then I feel more balanced and alert during the day.

Makes sense.

Good for you to have a job like that.  :thumbup:

I just finished taking the last of them.  I'm taking two different antibiotics now, Avelox and Clindamycin, in addition to the Lisinopril, so I'm skipping the multivitamin because I don't want the iron and magnesium in it to adversely affect the Avelox.

 You certainly research your medication interactions before taking your meds!  :thumbup:

I came home from the doctor's office and went straight to the Avelox website to check on interactions before I took the first pill because I had never heard of this medication before.  It also said that NSAIDS taken with it could cause some adverse reactions, so I haven't taken any since I started taking Avelox.   I saw other possible adverse reactions, but this is a bad infection so it's worth the risk to me.

I have taken most of my medications today, but I still need to take Lisinopril, Clindamycin and Vitamin D some time before bedtime.

Thanks Jack.  I have an infection in the bursa in my right elbow, so the whole joint is hot, swollen and painful and there's a sort of lump that looks like a golf ball under the elbow skin.  However, the area affected has been decreasing since I started taking Avelox along with Clindamycin.

This isn't my elbow, but this is what it looks like except that on mine, the red, hot, swollen area extends a few inches both up and down the arm.

Took them.

I'm really glad to be rid of the Strattera. Most of the side effects are gone now.

Thanks.

The culture results came back and it is MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus).

They also checked to see which antibiotics it is susceptible to and Doxycycline was the best one that I'm not allergic to, so I switched last night from the two antibiotics I was taking to just Doxycycline.

^^ take care of yourself, and get better soon. I have a sensitivity to doxycycline, I get very very sleepy to where I cannot wake up so when I had a PID I had to be switched. It is a very powerful antibiotic. MRSA is very serious. Since you have a child in school you are at risk for it. I hope this all goes away soon.

Thanks.  I'm allergic to sulfa antibiotics, Amoxicillin, and Erythromycin, but so far that's all.  I used to take Minocin for acne and I think that I took IV Doxycycline as a precaution against infection before a surgery that I had, so I hope that it's going to be all right for me.
