| 1 | tonsillitis | Cramping/ bad diarrhea. Nausea. Started first pill | Started first pill (500 mg) on Thursday and by the following Monday night I stopped taking the meds because at 2 am Tuesday morning I was living in the bathroom! Today is Friday and I am somewhat back to the living. The Diarrhea has stopped and I am able to keep something on my stomach but still having very mild nausea. Eating more yogart which is helping. Called the doctor's office and told them what was going on and that I wanted it noted in my chart that under no uncertain circumstances was I ever to be prescribed this med again. | F | 47 | 5 days 500 3X day | 10/9/2015 | 1 | UTi | VAGINAL SPOTTING(bleeding), emotional, forgetfulness, tired, stomach cramps, burping, and lost of appetite and dizziness. | I hate it! I must admit it did help my uti a lot but it's not worth it!!! I've stopped about two weeks ago and I still have side effects!!! Total nightmare!!! I'm just now figuring out what was wrong with me after reading reviews!!! | F | 25 | 5 days 500 | 9/16/2015 | 2 | MOHs surgery on leg for melanoma | Very dizzy and some digestive issues | F | 65 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 9/14/2015 | 1 | UTI | Stomach ache, nausea, lose stool (not diarieha) | ugh I still have like 4 more days on it. This drug stinks. I have worse anxiety and I feel like I'm gonna puke when I'm on it .... DO NOT GET IT | F | 14 | 7 days 500? | 9/13/2015 | 1 | Tooth extraction | Diarrhea, dizziness, yeast infection, sleepiness, nightmares, hives. | This is the first time I ever took such a high dose. | F | 67 | 7 days 500 mg | 9/7/2015 | 1 | Infection of belly buttob | Extreme anxiety, fear, emotional duress, crying . | I was surprised to find myself emotionally freaking out on this stuff. I felt like the emotional equivalent of an 8 year old child dealing with anxiety and fear about everything. Affected my work and relatioship before I figured out this was the problem. | M | 41 | 4 days 500mg | 8/24/2015 | 5 | UTI | Brain fog,sleepy,forgetting | Do not like it | F | 59 | 7 days 500 mg | 8/21/2015 | 3 | Serious leg cut | Leg was looking better after a couple days. Took 2000MG a day for 7 days. Bad night sweats, feel the need to sleep all the time and don't think my antidepressant worked while taking this antibiotic. | It works good but the side effects make it hard to continue to take. | F | 22 | 7 days 500 MG | 8/15/2015 | 3 | Infection on lower leg. | I still have more days but, if I get the stomach pain, nausea and retching tomorrow I will stop. In 2003 I got peritonitis from perforated ulcer. Pain today felt like that. It sure stinks and awful to burp up. | F | 62 | 3 days 500 | 8/3/2015 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Awful. I feel worse than ever but my GP insists I finish the course! I am much better on Penicillin but this has left me exhausted, vomiting, tearful and achy. Vile tasting and so hard to be positive. | GPs need to explain how awful they are! | F | 48 | 7 days 500 | 8/1/2015 | 1 | Celulitis | Horrible nightmares after 2 pills - took hours to convince grandma it was just a very very BAD dream. The fear, crying, mood swings, and sadness took weeks to subside. I DO NOT EVER RECOMMEND TJIS DRUG - EVER!! | F | 94 | 2 days | 7/31/2015 | 1 | Kidney Infection | The medicine has alleviated the infection. However, in the 7 days I consumed this drug I experienced severe fatigue, dizziness, anxiety, and gastrointestinal issues. This medicine is hard on the body mentally, emotionally and physically and none of the side effects I experienced were listed on my paperwork. Be wary of taking this medicine. | F | 33 | 7 days 500 MG 4X day | 7/27/2015 | 5 | UTI, Bladder infection | None. Maybe a little drowsy but I don't mind. | Works like a charm! I have allergies to lots of ATB, Macrobid doesn't work and Cipro, Levaqin cause me joint problems. This works really well, I took Duricef for a previous UTI and it didn't cure it. | F | 39 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/13/2015 | 1 | Foot surgery | I had a constant headache, yeast infection, and stomach cramping. Those side effects I could have dealt with. It was the depression and anxiety and terrible mood swings that made me stop this medication early. I felt hopeless and extremely tired and dizzy. Thought I was losing my mind and had vivid dreams. I have never had medicine that has affected me like that. | F | 33 | 10 days 500 mg | 7/11/2015 | 1 | UTI | Severe anxiety attacks, fatigue (as in I couldn't walk from one room to the other without having to sit down. Severe nausea, kidney pain. I stopped taking this med 4 days ago and new side effects are still appearing. Today I am dizzy and have facial nerve pain. | I am so thankful for all the comments about the anxiety, depression and nightmares. This was the scariest experience of my life and I'm surprised with such dangerous possible side effects, that they aren't listed on the drug label. Has anyone checked back that is finally over the side effects? How long did it take? | F | 37 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 6/18/2015 | 3 | 1 days | 6/15/2015 | 5 | bronchitis | Diarrhea | Only antibiotic I can take without a reaction | M | 60 | 7 days 500 mg 4X day | 6/14/2015 | 4 | Cellulitis | Extreme fatigue and increased appetite. Noticed I would get really tired about an hour or two after taking a pill. Normally I exercise every other day at the gym, but now I barely have the energy to get out of bed - very unusual for me. I stopped taking it two days ago and I'm still very fatigued. | The meds did a great job on my leg, though. | F | 43 | 7 days 30 mg 2X day | 5/26/2015 | 4 | Cellulitis (calf) | Fatigue 1-2 hours after each pill. I generally took a 1-2 hour nap after each one. Maybe a bit gassy. | Took about 2 days to notice any difference in the leg, but it looks very, very good now that the entire 10-day course is finished. | F | 55 | 10 days 30 mg 3X day | 5/14/2015 | 3 | Abscessed Cyst | Bad night sweats, dizzy, nausea, diarrhea, leg pain, gas | Taking 1500mg per day for 7 days for an infected cyst on bikini line (ingrown hair). I have IBS so antibiotics are a death sentence for me anyway. The night sweats were the strangest side effect, would wake up drenched, whole body. I assumed med was working, sweating out infection, doubting that was the cause. Currently at work, dizzy, spaced out, sick to stomach, seems med is working to cure infection but side effects are not pleasant. Rating as a 3 as not finished with med yet. | F | 40 | 7 days 500 3X day | 4/23/2015 |
