So I started Zyvox last Friday night...by Saturday morning, I was having diarhea (a few times Saturday and Sunday). Then slightly more normal Monday, but not quite. This is all normal for me when I am on Zyvox.
But last night I started to get bad stomach pains. I got home from teaching and was just sitting around, waiting to get ready for my next job. I noticed my mom had bought Oreo's, so I decided to try and have a glass of milk and Oreos. I haven't drank actual milk in about three months, mind you...thinking I may be allergic or intolerant to it. I thought this would be a good time to try and see how my stomach handles it. Well about fifteen minutes to a half hour AFTER I drank the milk (it was a VERY small glass) I started to feel gurgling and pain in my stomach. I figured it was just the milk making its way through.
Then I went to my other job and the pain did not cease. In fact it got worse. I could hardly stand up and would every once in a while have a fart that would make it feel better...but it would come right back. By 8:30, I was like I have to go home, this is awful. It was not as severe as the pain I have had before, but the fact that it was not going away made me worried. I ended up going home and throwing up once. The pain did not get immediately better, but was slightly better after throwing up. I went to bed and feel fine this morning...although I have not eaten anything.
My question to all of you is...could the Zyvox be building up in my system and making me feel this way? (I take it twice a day and had not taken it the second before the pain started...but it got worse after I took the Zyvox). Usually right after my first dose is when I start to feel nauseous from medications so I am leaning towards no...but I know things can be different. Or do these symptoms sound more like a stomach bug? Or maybe related to the lactose intolerance issues (I have eaten cheese and ice cream and not had these issues, but maybe just the milk)?
Thanks for reading. I do not get stomach bugs very often, so I am trying to see what my 'options' may be.
