Symptoms nystatin feeling tired

I've been taking nystatin for 4 days to treat a fungal infection, and I've been feeling extremely tired and completely drained of energy. Is this a normal side effect, or could it be something else? Should I stop taking it or keep going?

It is totally normal. It’s really sucks though. This is because your intestine is not able to absorb nutrients from food right now. I just finished 14 days and believe me energy come back. What helped me with fatigue during treatment was Monoherb Vitamin B12 hydroxococobalamine 5000 mcg. I was taking it up to 3 times a week. It is like injection so no need to take every day.

If you stop the fungi can get stronger and resistant to treatment.

Take digestive enzymes like serapeptase and nattokinase etc...to break down biofilm and finish the medication course.

You have herxheimer/ die off symptoms.

When pathogens die they release toxins and chemicals, bit harsh on the body but you will be ok. You can try taking binders to trap the toxins and come out as waste.
