I was prescribed clarithromycin by my ENT consultant doctor thinking I have an ear infection. She knows I'm allergic to erythromycin so I was skeptical but assumed she knew what she was doing, due to being a CONSULTANT top top doctor, and it's a different medication I'm not allergic to, right? So I took the first tablet last night at about 10:30pm, with a glass of water and after eating like I was directed! But at about midnight, my stomach started to hurt and despite having the windows open to -2° air I got really shakey and overheated. About an hour later, violently throwing up and struggling to breathe and unable to move without vomiting more! I passed out in the bathroom and luckily I seem to be a bit better now that it's out my system :/ So! I think I was given an antibiotic I was allergic to by a professional top top doctor! yay! hype up this healthcare system woooo! They literally just tried killing me off istg

I am so so sorry that happened and sadly it happens quite a bit as well as overdosing patients which can also be life threatening. Glad you were okay in the end and I definitely let higher ups know what happened

Holy crap… I have no idea if that is the same med, but that’s definitely a reaction. You should definitely notify them immediately.
@kateafranklin funnily enough I've spoken to 3 other doctors and nobody has even put a note on my medical record that I'm allergic to it! I'm having no luck with my doctors but I'm going to keep trying :)
HOLY SHIT. That absolutely could have killed you. I do hope you told them, or pursued legal action, or something. That's such a MASSIVE mistake.
@pastel.boho.love I tried to get in contact with them, and even two weeks later I've still had no success ^^;; I'm going to keep trying to at least complain about the doctor because she totally could've killed me and who knows how lax she is with other people with medication sigh
