I have shared with my primary care doctor AND my pulmonologist about how the dizziness is so bad that it affects my life more than anything. I passed out once as I was getting out of bed coming to as my face hit the metal bed frame. Neither one mentioned my dizziness being associated with all three meds that I’ve been on for two years. I used to depend on my doctors to give me any important info. I posted so others like myself who haven’t looked into meds doctors are prescribing to do so on their own. My eye doctor knew immediately which one affects eye sight and said we will keep a close eye on it. I have an appointment next week with him. So just because none of the three have affected you doesn’t mean they won’t affect anyone else.

I don't think she meant that there wouldn't be side effects to anyone else. She said that she didn't have any side effects but everyone's different. And that's extremely true because we all tolerate things on different levels. I'm only on azithromycin and ethambutol, both for about a month, and I haven't had side effects as of yet either. I am grateful for that but I know that some people have horrible side effects. And your doctor should have told you about the side effects, especially the vision side effects in the hearing side effects. Many times doctors nowadays think that we're all looking the stuff up ourselves and reading the pamphlets attached when we pick up our prescriptions. Unfortunately a lot of people don't read those things or look up their prescriptions to see what the side effects are.🙄
