hi Everyone,
The dentist gave erythromycin, i'm not sure whether i have an infection from the dental surgery or not. i had implant surgery last Friday, almost a week ago- and went back to the dentist because pain was worsening and i felt like i may be getting an infection. The dentist was too busy to see me and an assistant looked. i'm allergic to penicillin and a lot of meds.
The erythromycin is making me feel so sick. i looked it up and found that it's probably interacting with the diazapam in my system. i can try not to take anymore diazapam until the erythromycin is finished- i don't take diazapam everyday but most days recently. My prescription says take one or two every day.
The erythromycin makes me feel so Bad - tired, so dizzy and have itching- i think i'm allergic. It wasn't important to the dentist that i took it or not anyways.
Anyways, i don't want to take anymore erythromycin, it's making me too sick. i know i should call about a replacement but i have so much trouble taking antibiotics. i don't want an infection though, i feel feverish.
Is there any antibiotic that doesn't react with diazapam? i'm allergic to penicillin, bactrim, other meds. Should i just stop taking it and wait and see? The dentist was so not concerned anyways. He didn't even look- just went by the assistant's judgment.
Everything is always so complicated and hard for me:(
Thank you for any ideas,
kerria

Hi Kerria
I always disliked erythromycin. It makes me feel really sick. Many other antibiotics are available if your dentist determines that you still need one.

Ed is right you need to call and see the real dentist.And how could an assistant order a prescription for you? Fondly,Phillipa
