so i was on these antibiotics for acne. i then became dizzy and nasius, which were symptoms of the meds so i figgured thats why i was feeling that way. on top of that, i got a yeast infection. i am now off the antibiotics.all i know is that i want my acne to go away and my meds were working in that department. if i go back onto the meds will thses symptoms reappair? should i deffently not go back onto the meds ORshould i go back on the meds to see what happens. and if i do that, and get sick again should i go off it or see if i can wait it out?help!

Antibiotics

Most antibiotics don't cause dizziness or nausea, so your doctor should be able to change to a different one.Yeasts are a bit different. Antibacterial antibiotics tend to kill the good bacteria as well as the bad, and that means yeasts find no competition, and you are more likely to get a yeast infection. It doesn't always happen - it doesn't even happen most times you are on antibiotics - but it is a common complication. Yeasts can be treated with antifungals.Other treatments for acne are topical antibiotics like benzoyl peroxide - but this is only effective for mild acne - or Accutane (Roaccutane) - but this has more severe side-effects and is only used for very bad acne.

I think you should discuss the situation with your doctor.
