Noroxin
Posted on 29 May 2001
I haven't posted in a long time but your post brought memories of the worst two months of my life. I'm 24. You described exactly what was happening to me. The only thing you didn't mention that I was going through, is the eye popping headaches that still are here but not as severe. I took Noroxin for 3 weeks and haven't been the same since and wonder if I'll ever be. I had the rash, the sleepless nights, anxiety & panic attacks, my vision deteriorated, urinating every god damn minute... I also thought that I had HIV (negative). I made a mistake of waiting too long to get checked out and probably drove myself further into insanity. I've been feeling better since I tested negative for HIV and some other major illnesses but not 100%. Even though this is definitely due to the medicine, I think this proves that a lot of it is mentally induced. I think that a person could mentally destroy themselves physically. I don't know what to tell you for me the worst thing is this weird feeling in my head that I get almost every day I fell like I'm lost, the left over anxiety and panic attacks . I have hard time concentrating on my work or anything for that matter. It's been almost a year for me. Good luck.
