Hi
So I suffer from recurring urinary tract infections and since the new year i felt like i had a constant one. My doctor prescribed macrodantin to be taken for 3 months. Well i have been taking one a day for nearly two months despite not wanting to take it and stopped a couple of days ago. The utis were getting me down and i was anxious about when i would get another one seeing as they were happening so frequently.
However the last few weeks i have been getting an obsessive thought that literally comes into my mind every few minutes. After a couple of weeks of this i got really anxious including panic attacks, nausea, loss of appetite, trembling. Its like i am afraid my obsessive thought will never go away. I stopped the macrodantin because it said that if you experience extreme mood changes or change of mental state to stop.
I have a doctors appointment today. I have always been an anxious person but i have never felt like this. I wake up every morning sick to my stomach and dreading the day and getting the obsessive thought. Its like ocd or something. It is affecting me in the sense that i dont want to do anything or go anywhere. I have a wedding on friday which i am dreading because of how i am feeling. I dont like being on my own anymore in the house or going anywhere. My partner is being supportive but im afraid my obsessive thought is going to ruin what is a great relationship because it is related to our relationship. Could the antibiotic have caused this intense anxiety? Has anyone any experience of obsessive thoughts and how to control them? Sorry if this is a lot of information and confusing but im confused myself with how im feeling.
