| 5 | UTI | It took 6 days to work, but I had no negative side effects | Positive side effect was that it cured me of an indigestion/gas problem I'd been having for about 6 months. Absolutely cured it. | F | 50 | 6 days 500mg 3X day | 2/18/2013 | 4 | Uti | Body aches, chills, irritable and cranky, slightly loose stool, ALOT of GAS and farts, weird dreams | F | 28 | 4 days 500 | 1/25/2013 | 1 | Uti | Bad gas. | F | 43 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 12/29/2012 | 3 | fingernail bed infection | Severe: moodiness, intestinal pain, aggression, and irritability. this drug causes me to be unpleasant and almost scary to be around | F | 32 | 3 days 525 | 12/12/2012 | 5 | infection following skin surgery | Heartburn enough to look it up and mild nausea. A constant feeling of needing to burp, but not burping. Trouble sleeping. It is working and the infection responded immediately. The stomach issues are uncomfortable, yet not yet intolerable. | F | 54 | 6 days 4X day | 12/10/2012 | 1 | Prevent a Urinary Tract Infectio | I had indigestion (severe), loss of appetite, nausea, stomach cramps, stomach pain, tiredness. I was prescribed it on 6/6/2012. I took it for 3 days, but the symptoms never abated and seemed to get worse. | I tried Keflex twice, but had the same symptoms. | M | 50 | 3 days 500 MG 1X day | 10/2/2012 | 2 | infected cyst near my scrotum | worried about diarrhea side effect - i ate some yogart as a precaution. have not had this problem but the infection is about the same. | M | 75 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 8/19/2012 | 2 | folliculitis from laser resurfacing | Horrific nightmares (thought I was crazy), and a feeling like I have only had on a cruise ship. Light headedness, dizziness, and close to fainting when standing. | I have takent this drug before, but not in such a huge dose. Also, I take Metformin. I have honestly thought I needed to see a psychiatrist....it was so bad. I cried all day on the 3rd day. | F | 56 | 4 days 500 mg 4X day | 7/13/2012 | 3 | ankle laceration | A lot of GAS! Bloating, runny stool. | M | 15 | 10 days 500 MG 4X day | 6/18/2012 | 2 | Prevent infection from a boil | I think is medicine gave me a horrible yeast infection. After about the 5 or 6 day i felt terrible burning and itching and it felt like insides were going to fall out. Lets not mention the diarrhea. I swear I went to the bathroom every five minutes. This medicine is terribly annoying and I wish i would have found this site sooner. I still have 9 pills to take but I am discontinuing this medicine. I can't function without staying in the bathroom all day long. | F | 28 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 5/31/2012 | 1 | uti | really bad cramping in back,that radiated around to my stomach, then came the naseua and vomiting.. | Had the same reaction to amoxicillin a couple years ago. I knew this drug was similar but I decided to give it a try because my urine culture showed the bacteria would work good with this medicine, and I didn't want to go on cipro after hearing all the bad things that can happen with that. Got a new prescription from the doc, hopefully that works better and gets rid of this damn uti. | F | 24 | 1 days 500mg 4X day | 4/11/2012 | 4 | Prevention of infection to cut | I would say that at first all I really noticed was the diarrhea which I usually have when I take antibiotics, about 3days ago I noticed that I was constipated that went away next symptom was spotting for about 2days I didn't think much of it until today that I was experiencing mild burning, itching and irritation to my vaginal area for about 2-3 days I had to go to the emergency room to make sure I wasn't coming down with a yeast infection or BV (bacterial vaginosis) I have extremely sensitive skin and my ph balance goes haywire quickly from any slight disturbance. | F | 25 | 8 days 500Mg | 2/11/2012 | 2 | Recovery from rhinoplasty | Gas, unexplainable GAS! Absolutely ridiculous! Insomnia- only slept a couple hours each night. Dry mouth not helpful when I already couldn't breath through my nose. Diarrhea. Headaches. Hot and cold flashes all day and night. High blood pressure which was attributed to my insomnia. Will never take this again! | F | 32 | 10 days | 2/10/2012 | 1 | UTI | Horrible anxiety, heart racing. Loss of appetite. Panic attack. Fast pulse. | I stopped taking this drug. | F | 61 | 2 days 500 2X day | 1/26/2012 | 2 | throat | i experienced horrible symptoms of anxiety; my heart was pounding and i was up at night with terrifying hallucinations, the likes of which i didnt even think i could ever imagine. i wasnt sure if i was going to wake up if i did fall asleep. i had a feeling of absolute terror. i had psychosomatic disturbances and was convinced there was something in my house. i had seriously distrubing images in my head that i could not get rid of and i was totally panicked all night. | just because drugs have been around for awhile and are considered "safe" does not mean that doctors should be handing them out like candy because they dont want to think of anything else to do. | F | 25 | 3 days 500 mg 4X day | 12/19/2011 | 1 | sinus infection | Had to stop taking this poison! I felt terrible, tired, spacey, drugged, nauseated and after taking it for 8 days i stopped and started with the stomach pains and the runs..not good!! I think i was poisoned! | F | 49 | 10 days 25 3X day | 12/19/2011 | 1 | prevention of infection from cut | my husband flipped out, was about to punch our 7 year old daughter in the face, was just plain mean, like when he was on drugs and ran out, | M | 38 | 4 days 500mg 4X day | 11/16/2011 | 3 | cellulitis d/t insect bite | horrible muscle ache on day three, but tolerable. | Minimal sign of improvements of affected arm, but take into account of short duration of treatment. | F | 24 | 3 days 500 mg 4X day | 10/21/2011 | 4 | Strep | GROUCHY | I was definitely grouchy after about day 3 on this, but nothing I couldn't handle. I went from miserable with strep to feeling better in 2 days flat. Took the full measure to be safe. Side effects sucked, but it was wayyy better than the strep! No other bad side effects. Don't be too afraid to try this, it definitely helped me and is WAY milder than some alternatives. | F | 22 | 1X day | 8/16/2011 | 1 | for a bad tooth | Almost everything. I finally called my doctor a couple of days ago. I only had 2 pills left to take and she told me not to take them. I have horrible body aches, very weak, slight diarrhea at first then constipation, foggy heavy feeling head, I am an anxious person to start with and this drug made it way worse, absolutely no appetite. | Plus side it did take away the tooth pain and jaw inflammation. I have been off for almost 2 days still have horrible body aches and extreme weakness. Will NEVER take this again. I am hoping that the rest of these side effects disappear very shortly. | F | 42 | 7 days 500 3X day | 7/29/2011 |
