A question about antibiotics:

[hedgehog]

Here's the back story: I had an infection around a tooth that had an abscess died about 15 years ago and was treated with a root canal and crown back then. The dentist said that this time the tooth had to come out, and put me on a week of antibiotics while awaiting an appointment with a dental surgeon. (There was a possibility that the tooth was so brittle that a simple extraction wouldn't get it.). There were still signs of an infection, so he put me on a different antibiotic. Finally, the tooth was pulled and I'm on a third antibiotic post-op.

So, here's the question: Two of these antibiotics really knocked me out. I don't mean disruptions in digestion, I mean real fatigue, like a walk to the mail box is a big deal. Is this a common reaction?

I'm not complaining about antibiotics, because without them I'd be in real trouble! I'm just curious.
