Posted by Lisa Y @tutti, Feb 19, 2018

Has anyone had their hearing effected from the amikacin. If so, how did it present itself?

They have lessened quite a bit. And being overly emotional has gone away. I am still on the big 3 orally and will add nebulized amilacin this week. Also the amounts of the big 3 will be adjusted so that I am getting just what I need according to my blood levels. This is such an individual thing and it is wise to not only monitor these drugs but adjust the amounts given according to our reactions to them. Good luck!

I'm on amikacin iv for 8 weeks with chlaritomicin now and just started experiencing a side effect . I'm very tired, headache, nausea,losing weight.
Hi amn71, what do you feel about using amikacin nebulizer? Do you think it is better than IV? Please let me now ,so I will tell my ID doctor to change it. I'm worried about my kidney.
