Call your doctor now and the on-call physician will call you back if you are that anxious. Take control, and you'll usually feel better.
Remember, there is nothing to worry about most likely though:
It could be as simple as the fact that you didn't have a sinus infection and the antibiotics were prescribed in error, or it could be that you are developing a cold along with the sinus infection.
Hope this helps.
How long have you been on Lexapro? I had a bad reaction to that. Also, does your dr. that prescribed the antibiotics know you are on Lexapro?
You should see BOTH a good psychopharmaceutical psychiatrist AND a good neurologist. Many internists and GPs think they know enough about the highly specialized field of psychotropic medication to determine which medication is right for you; They don't! A biological or psychopharmaceutical psychiatrist (one who only deals with medications, rather than medications and talk therapy) will be able to better help you. However, given your vision thing, you should probably also see a neurologist in case you have a brain tumor, TIA, or other neurological disorder. Bottom line, you should see specialists until the problem is solved!
the thing t odo is if your meds right now havent started to work then try something new. you have to find the right combanation
