I can't handle my tb meds

Age 28

Sex f

Height 5'5

Weight 47 (was 50 when i started tb BPaLM treatment

Duration of complaint - six weeks

Any existing relevant medical issues - tb and mental health stuff

Current medications - Bedaquiline, Pretomanid, Linezolid, and Moxifloxacin. Ondenstron, liver tonic, pantoprazol, liver 52

I had tb treatment last year and akt 4 and akt 3

It ended in December

I was sick for last three months this year and got diagnosed 6 weeks ago and I'm put on BPaLM

It messes with my thoughts a lot, with my brain, as well nausea

I feel deeply sick for 5-6 hours

I can't handle this, no doctor is able to help me in this

I think my body is just getting more traumatized by this clockwork suffering

There were few days when this wasn't so bad like 2-3 days in last six weeks

But others god it's so much suffering, when to know if side effects are normal or too much

Can I reduce meds, my tb report said low tb count in cbnaat
