    Put on citalopram July 2009 during a physical illness - didnt need it. 40mg
    went down to 20mg July 2010 CT in Jan 2012 - 2.5 years on.
    Tried to restart July 2012 due to 1 panic attack (never had one before - start of CT W/D) - adverse reaction
    Down to 1.5mg from the failed RI
    Now at 0.48 and trying to stabalize - been 6 weeks

    Hi NH...I don't believe in taking antibiotics unless its absolutely needed. Dr's very often hand them out like sweets anyway. I cannot answer about the antibiotics...each medicine is different for every person. You have to weigh up the risk of side effects against the risk of not taking them. It's a fine balance. Chest and sinus infections very often clear up on there own, I don't know how bad these infections are for you. The dental one may be a bit more tricky to clear up without treatment.
    Antibiotics will do naff all for flu anyway. Only you know how you feel...what are your thoughts??? Did you mean azithromycin or erythromycin??

    Clindomycin will treat your dental infection but it commonly causes GI problems such as diarrhoea and nausea. Erythromycin the same potential effects but will be good for your chest infection, although if its flu it won't do anything for that. Azithromycin is good for ear nose and throat infections, though the potential stomach upsets are still there with any antibiotic. Basically all of them could treat all of your infections.
    Have you had these antibiotics before? What about taking a smaller dose and seeing what happens? Its hard to know until you do it.
    Let us know how you get on xx
