Damn antibiotics. How much will I be effected?

[GoneForever]

1month into cycle and im sick. I tried fighting it for a few days on my own with natural supps and i've gotten much better but my throat has gotten worse and worse. So I had to go on amoxicillian for a week. When I go off im gonna use a pro-biotic, but will I not be able to add muscle while on the anti'b's and the peroid when im off when they still interfer with digestion. I still will be using bromelain,acidiophillus and ginger root with each meal while on the amoxicillan and when off as well with the additon of a probiotic, but my ? is, how greatly will this effect muscle gain?

Just focus on getting better. Does it really matter if what your taking interferes with muscle gain? I mean its like 2-3 weeks tops. Its not the end of the world. In that amount of time you will not gain nor lose an appreciatable amount of muscle anyway. IMO this is worrying about nothing!

So even if your feeling %100 better, you cannot gain muscle while on antibiotics and the week after you stop taking them?

Antibiotics are overprescribed. Most of the time you do not need them, just as in your case. Sometimes a cold can last 1month. All you can do is wait it out.

thnik about what your body is going through, building muscle is one of the hardest things for the body to do, you must have everything aligned correctly and even then it might not happen, now when you arte fighting a cold or infection of some sort, you are asking a lot of your body. basicaly impossible imo, you want the body to kill of a forgien virus or bacterial infection and build muscle, prob not going to happen, stick with the first goal and that is gettin rid of the sickness and then go back to the game plan of building muscle....

but lets say the sickness is gone in a few days. I still have a week of amoxicillian left and then it still interfers with digestion for another week. So if the virus is gone, but the amoxicillian is still in my system, then can muscle building be a possibility?

I guess what im trying to get at is how detramental is amoxicillian to muscle building? I just took 500mg this morning but if I start feeling better in a few days and start lifting again, I dont want that to be a waste due to the amox in my system still and interfering with digestion. Im actually feeling a little better now, so you think I should quit the amox and try to fight this out naturally?

there is a reason you take the amox. for longer than the sickness is "noticable", i am sure muscle building is possible while on an antibiotic, I once took an antibiotic for a few months straight for acne while i was younger and i am sure i put some muscle on in that time frame(i know not the smarted thing to do but i was 15)

1.. dont quite the amox untill the full script has been finished( the sickness has a lot better chance of returning)

2... if your feeling better you could probably get back in the gym and train, and eat, but i would go at 70% to let your system have enuf recovery ability to continue to fight the illness...

hope this helps, this is just what i would do, but it should make pretty good sense...

Well, I think it was dumb to start the amox b/c it wasnt prescribed(I just had some) but I didnt realize its pointless since I have a virus and not a bacteria, so I only took one pill, so I presume quiting will be ok right?

that was some info that might have been usefull a few posts ago man! (i kinda took it that you were prescribed the anti biotics, and it was bacterial) yes its pointless!

LOL, I guess you can see how sick I really am. Im fuKin delusional. No just feeling like shit lately. Flem,sore throat,etc... so I guess its a virus. I stopped the amoxicillan(only took 1 pill) and been loading up on airborn,black eldeberry extract and someone recommend me to take oreganol oil extract and it may be placebo, but i've taken about 10drops so far and im feeling much better.

It is true that Atnibiotics are over prescribed but when they are prescribed damnit take the whole fucking course , other wise you end up helping make the bug stronger this is the reason for so many new sicknesses getting stronger.

Anyway , if its just a virius let it run its course and take meds to help combat the effects from it , like motrin for fever and such. It doesen't matter if your miss a week of lifting its better to take a week off and let your body recover than to push it and keep yourself run down

Taking a run of antibiotics isin't gonna "waste" away any muscle , at worst it may lower your apitite but for gods sake its not radiation your taking.

Also taking sombody elses precription drugs is against the law

Also you could be suffering from seasonal alergies , I know I am , this yellow shit is everywhere and seemingly more in my nose end result is the wonder of Allergic Rhinitis (stuffy nose) that drips into the throat (post nasal drip) causing the sore throat then if works in way into your lung causing the chest congestion. I've been shooting Nasonex ( feels like acid!!) up my nose for the past week and taking a few differant over the counter meds for the chest , head and throat.

But the good news is that my 2yr old has 4 kids in his class of 9 that have Strep Throat , so don't feel bad bro , I'm sure that in the next 24hrs I'm gonna be taking my stash of 875mg Amoxocilin and likly next week off from the gym and that will be my second week on a new cycle !!
