Anitbiotics or hormones are wearing me out

I am 3 weeks post op now, i saw dr last friday and had vaginitus so on antibiotics also started hormone replacement that Sat. I feel crappy wondering if it is the antibiotics or the hormones? anyone have similar issue? I have been feeling incredibly well up until starting taking both of these.

What antibiotic? What hormone and what dose? I started HRT 4 days post op and that part of recovery improved within a couple of days. I have been on many antibiotics over the last few years and some make me feel worse than the condition I am taking them for.

on Metronidazole 500mg and the hormone is Vivelle dot 0.05mg patches, dr said this has less side effects.

I am on Vivelle dot .1 and did not notice any tiredness but there is a forum for HRT you might ask there.

Here are the potential side effects of the antibiotic per drugs.com
