Anxiety meds and c diff
After being diagnosed with c diff and it coming back, I need help with my anxiety. I’m constantly bleaching, obsessively worrying about giving it to my husband or daughter. I had problems with anxiety before especially with germs. Im not able to normally function because of my racing thoughts. Is anyone on anxiety medicines that don’t effect c diff? Im on DIF and almost done but would like to start some anxiety medicine. Please help!

Re: Anxiety meds and c diff
I have had periodic anxiety during the pandemic (job change/crazy hours; i work in heathcare). Currently on 2nd round ABT (vanc) and praying it works. Honestly, I had a massive anxiety attack last week with running thoughts,jitteriness, stuttering. While physically I could have returned to work I was so debilitated by anxiety I was unable to function. I am working on using meditation (great phone apps!) and using deep breathing to work on calming myself down. I do take prozac at baseline; my doctor (PCP) gave my atarax (similar to benodryl) for prn use right now. I can relate 100% to your comments- hang in there!
