Hi all,
I have been fortunate enough not to post for a good while because things were good.
However in January I was diagnosed with Rosacea and put on a 3 month course of Antibiotics........ roll forward 6 weeks and not only am I still unconvinced this is Rosacea but instead a severe reaction to constant bombardment of dry heated air and dust at work but I have started spotting and I am getting panic attacks again. I haven't had panic now for 18 months - 2 years almost and the only thing that has changed is the taking of the antibiotics. Upon some investigating online I find articles that state long term antibiotics can lower your estrogen levels and thus cause spotting/bleeding and other unwanted side effects. I am so annoyed with my GP for putting me on these when she is well aware of my over 2 year struggle to get my Peri under control, I now feel back to square one.
I want to stop taking these antibiotics asap but am unable to get an appointment with the GP for 3 weeks, I think by then I will have lost the plot with this panic. It says the minimum term to taking these is 6 weeks , well I have. Has anyone come off lymecyline and if so what is the best method please?
