I have been on Rifampin now for two weeks. It is causing me to be so anxious and sick to my stomach, I’m going to stop taking it. Did it affect anyone else like this?

It's a nasty drug! Be careful with it. Landed me in the hospital twice this past summer before the doctors FINALLY believed me when I told them over and over what it was doing to me.

For me, it causes terrible stomach issues and awful diarrhea. I could no eat anything on this drug, and forced myself to eat plan pasta and bread all day. When I stopped it, stomach issues and diarrhea gone, and my appetite is back. Worst thing, my pulmo wants me to take it 5 x a week.
