Has anyone else had problems taking their meds after surgery?

I have only been able to keep my meds for manic depression, anxiety, and panic attacks down 2-3 days a week until I developed a uti(urinary tract infection) Nov. 24. The pain with the uti was worse than after surgery! I went to the ER on the 26th and they gave me an antibiotic and told me to follow up with my PCP which I did because I couldnt keep the antibiotics down 2 minutes. My PCP gave me an rx for some different antibiotics and I couldnt keep them down either. I called her nurse and told her what was going on and asked if I could have a shot of antibiotics or if they would just put me in the hospital on an IV so I could get rid of this, she called me back and said my doc wanted me to try one more pill before she did anything else. Of course, I couldnt keep it down either and ended up going to the urgent care dept. at my medical clinic where this nice doc gave me a shot of antibiotics-FINALLY!! I am scared it is going to get bad again because he said it only lasts for 24 hours and for me to follow up with my PCP. Needless to say since all this started(11/24) I havent been able to keep any of the meds for the manic depression, anxiety, & panic attacks down and I am losing my mind! I have left 3 messages with my Psychiatrist this past week and he didnt return my calls. I am on a fixed income and have just spent 200.00 on rx's that I couldnt use. I am so depressed it is unreal. I guess I am just going to have to find a new PCP and Psychiatrist. By the way, I have tried crushing the pills in food, some crackers before I take them, you name it I tried it. I even tried the liquid form of the meds and that didnt work either. What am I to do??
