Nervous about treatment

Treatment

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post here because I’m nervous about treatment and I guess I’m looking for reassurance.

It feels like everything I read about pylera/quad therapy with tetracycline and metronidazole has half of the people saying it was fine and not to be scared, and the other half saying they were hallucinating or having seizures and crazy side effects.

I know everyone is different and a lot of people come to complain only when something is wrong but I’m honestly terrified. I already have anxiety and nightmares as well as nausea and dizziness from the H Pylori itself and I feel like I can’t afford for it to get any worse from the suffering I’m already experiencing :/ But at the same time, I can’t just be stuck like this. I’ve tried natural treatments like biocidin and cabbage juice and they only suppressed my symptoms temporarily.

Does anyone have any tips or advice? Is this treatment as bad as the horror stories? I feel trapped with no alternative and I’ve been dealing with this for so long that I really feel like antibiotics are the only step forward at this point. My doctor prescribed VSL #3 as a probiotic to have along with it.
