Stomach Discomfort After Stopping Antibiotics

Hey guys,

So I've been on Bactrim for about 9 months and a month of amoxicillin before that. I've probably done a couple of 1-2 week breaks but overall I've been on antibiotics for quite a long time. Anyway, I started Accutane two months ago, low dose, almost no sides, no pimples anymore, great stuff. But just to be safe from an IB I ran both the Accutane and the bactrim at the same time until i stopped it 2 weeks ago. Pretty much since then there's been an awful discomfort in my stomach and my gut in general, like a mix of anxiety and pain and its been going for a week and a half now with no other symptoms.

Also I might have done the retarded thing and taken those antibiotics without my doctor's knowledge so I'm not sure about going to him with that information.

Anyway, advice is appreciated.

i think you should go to the doctor and get checked out just to be safe. he might tell you that was not the best idea but there really isnt much else he can do at this point but i would go to your primary care doctor anyway.

I was on bactrim for about 3 months and I was getting the same feeling stomach discomfort nausea etc.

I stopped taking them and it did persist for a couple of weeks after on/off but its gone now and I feel back to normal.

Im sure it will fade away as mine did but I would go to your doctor just to be sure.
