Ive been taking the antibiotic Cipro for about a week and still have a few more weeks to go. Im going out tonight and I'll probably be tempted to have a few drinks. Is there danger in this? Is there a limit to how much I should drink (not due to the fact I may get drunk but due to the fact I could die of a toxic combo)?
So I was taking Seasonique which is one of those 3months at a time pills-meaning you only get your period every 3months. I took that for one pack which=3months, had a period then started the next pack but only got through 2months of it then decided to stop that one and get a new pill because I was just starting to feel depressed and awful. At the end of that 2months I also thought I had a urinary tract infection and was prescribed Cipro during the "period" week and was told it decreased effectiveness of b.c. for the rest of the month. My period was different but I chalked it up to the antibiotics. Well we weren't careful anyway and I started my new pill Ortho Novum. I have 3 days of it left and have been sooo exhausted and nauseated for about the last 3wks. I sleep alot yet want more. I am nauseous and alcohol repulses me yet if I drink any at all I gag or feel really buzzed-which is unusual. And I keep getting really dizzy very easily. I'm a dancer and spins do make me dizzy after a bit....but this is like one spin and I want to throw up, not to mention it just comes and goes w/o movement. My husband even asked the other night what was wrong w/ my equilibrium. Could I possibly be pregnant?? I don't even know if I could be or how far along I could possibly be but after reading alot online many women have not only gotten pregnant on the pill but also had a "period"......anyone's experiences or advice would be great :)
Right now I'm on track to finish my antibiotics Monday. Right now it's Wednesday and I've been on them since last Friday night. One of them is recommended to not be taken with alcohol but the other is a strict no. The problem is that we are having a Super Bowl party and I want to be able to drink. I don't think quitting them early will be a problem, but I wanted a second opinion.
Cipro and Flagyl are the two, but the Flagyl (metronidazole) is the one with restrictions.
