Freaking Out For No Reason Posted: 09-02-06 07:20am
I think i'm freaking out over nothing.
But about 2 weeks ago I started on
minocycline for my acne. I take it twice
a day & it's 100 mg. I feel like,
nauseated a lot now & have headaches.
That is part of the side effects of the
antibiotic, but i'm also on birth control
and have been for almost 2 months now -
i've taken it faithfully every single day
since starting it. I've gained a little
weight and i'm always hungry it seems
like.
The nauseated feeling is really bothering
me though and I just want to make sure
it's my antibiotic and not something else!
My breasts are a little sore to the
touch, but my period is due next week. I
haven't had any bleeding or anything like
that.
Opinions?

antibiotics can cause nausea. If your
period is due next week, pregnancy
symptoms wouldn't even be appearing yet if
there was a possibility of pregnancy. I
hope that sets your mind at ease. ;)
breasts can get tender before your period
and that is completely normal. Good luck!

Hello my fellow nc girl!
Long term use of antiobiotics can cause
some nausea =( but it should get better
over time!
The only worry could be pregnancy, if you
have not used used back-up wile on
antibiotics...

Yeah i've only been on this antibiotic for
a couple of weeks now .. But he's been
pulling out of me. I didn't get nauseated
yesterday though - maybe it's going to
subside!
