Into the deep end

So, I am on some medication to treat a bacterial infection that I contracted.
I've been feeling very odd ever since taking it and as is always the case with me, I had to research some of it's side effects to be sure that I am not experiencing anything abnormal. If truth be told, I feel like shite and am exhausted both physically and emotionally.
Here's what I found out:
This antibiotic may cause the following symptoms (I should point out that these are considered common...Just my luck).
Dizziness; fatigue; fever; headache; impaired concentration; impaired taste; influenza-like symptoms such as unusual tiredness or weakness; irritability; red itchy skin; large swing in moods; loss of appetite; muscle or joint pain; nausea, vomiting, or upset stomach; nervousness; Diarrhea (mild to severe); Redness and warm feeling at the site of injection; shaking; temporary thinning of hair; stuffy nose; trouble sleeping.

I suppose it's not a good thing if I have experienced almost all of these. Well, as there are roughly 7 more days to go on this merry-go-round of emotions, the bottle will be empty and I will resume a life less ordinary.
Ho hum.
