| 1 | Flu | Extreme fatigue, vould barely get out of bed, severe headache with upper back pain, nightmares, nausea,anxiety, will never take again, and am allergic to penicillian and sulpha drug. | F | 73 | 9 days 500 | 12/22/2017 | 1 | Post surgery | I experienced damn near everything listed on this site - which I am grateful for stumbling upon! Thought I was losing my mind. Just discovered another side effect, my right toe also feels like it has 'gout'. Poor focus and concentration, dizzy, burning tingling dry mouth with dreadful breath, blurred vision, nausea, hot flashes fever red face, sore neck & jaw, runny nose, heart racing,weird dreams (I had a pet duck I carried around and it died), depressed lack of any feeling for the holidays, too tired and fatigued to feel anything, headache, sleepy, emotional, angry, and indifferent, sore feet & legs throbbing right big toe tip, yeast infection - itchy crazy, orange discharge (always take a probiotic), crawling out my skin, smelly foul diarrhea. The lack of concentration has been the worse, surprised I have a job! | I've never had a problem with antibiotics...I'll never take this again. I will research any and all meds in the future. Until I read these posts, I thought I was having some kind of breakdown. These experiences don't all appear on the normal side effects websites! | F | 47 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 12/14/2017 | 3 | UTI | CONSTANT URINATION! | It helped as far as taking the infection away but i literally pee EVERY hour ON THE hour. Its ridiculous. | F | 25 | 4 days 500mg | 12/11/2017 | 2 | Preventative post surgery | Vivid dreams depression irritable back neck pain jaw pain | F | 29 | 14 days 500mg x 4 | 12/7/2017 | 1 | Boil/abscess | severe body aches, headache, fever, flu-like symptoms, yeast infection/vaginal itching | On the fourth day I began to have leg and lower back pain. I attributed this to lots of housework the previous day. On the fifth day I felt like I'd been hit by a truck, but still not connecting this to the Keflex. On day six, my spine, neck, and head were killing me along with fever and fatigue. I called off work, which I RARELY do. I figured it was the Keflex since the more I took, the worse I felt. I stopped taking it with two days left, and called my Nurse Practitioner, but ahe didn't call back. To add insult to injury, I still have the boil and a nice, new yeast infection! | F | 40 | 7 days 500mg | 11/27/2017 | 1 | Swimmers itch | Extreme itching and hives, gave maximum dosage of benadryl allowed for a child in a 24 hour period. Itching and hives continued. Could not continue the 10 days, stopped at day 7. Next morning hives and itch are gone. | F | 8 | 7 days | 11/18/2017 | 1 | Breast reduction | Out of body, cannot concentrate, having a hard time waking up. Weird dreams, don't want to talk to anyone. Feel like I am losing my mind. Will never take thus drug again. | F | 50 | 3 days 500mg | 11/2/2017 | 1 | Bacterial infection (cut the finge) | Headache, weakness, joint pain,numbness,fever, dizziness,anxiety , Chills. Never knew what to expect. Most of the time I wanted to be alone, just couldn't be around people. I couldn't focus on anything ." My mind was playing games with me". Crazy thoughts I wasn't myself. Feeling of losing my mind I never had such a horrible experience with antibiotics before | The last capsule i took on empty stomach - BIG MISTAKE! HALLUCINATIONS. Scary .. Be very careful with keflex500mg | F | 33 | 10 days 500mg | 10/28/2017 | 3 | Toe infection | Welts on skin (3), very tired | I won’t take this again | M | 61 | 10 days 500 | 10/3/2017 | 1 | Surgical incision infection | Exhaustion, neck pain, vertigo, mild hallucinations, rapid heart beat, vulvar irritation, vivid dreams, severe depression, and irritability. | I immediately had a horrifying spike in heart rate after taking the first dose. After two doses I was uncontrollably crying for a day, and have been severely depressed since (I'm on day 6). I can't wait to be done. It seems crazy that an antibiotic would cause these side effects. I'm wondering if it's a synthetic antibiotic...I had wierd reactions to Cipro, as well, which is synthetic. I would not take this again. | F | 31 | 7 days 500 mg | 8/26/2017 | 3 | Uti | Bad dreams anxiety chills aching feet dizzy dry eyes and dryness feeling in private area and rectum.. | Not sure if my Uti is gone still having cramping.. | F | 49 | 14 days 500mg 3x | 8/19/2017 | 1 | UTI | Stomach cramps, watery diarrhea, flu-like feeling, and on day five EXTREME BILATERAL HIP JOINT PAIN, and moderate knee pain.

No sleep at all for days. Couldnt move around normal. Felt fatiuge. Depression. | Would never take again. Was feeling like would never understand why i was feeling so ill. | F | 56 | 7 days | 7/11/2017 | 1 | UTI | Feeling like I Have The flu. Pelvic cramping, Nauseous and back pain. | I stopped it yesterday, how long dies it take for it TI leave your system | F | 63 | 4 days 500 | 7/7/2017 | 3 | UTI | Rapid heart beat, low energy, bad dreams, some depression. | Initially I was given Cipro for a UTI until my culture results came back. On Cipro I immediately felt depressed but that went away before I finished my course. Then was given Keflex and my heart rate skyrocketed, had nightmarish dreams and was unusually tired. So glad yesterday was my last day on Kelfex and hope to be back to 'me' soon. It worked well for the UTI but hate the side effects. | F | 49 | 7 days 500 mg x2 | 6/10/2017 | 2 | Tooth infection | I immediately began having sharp stomach cramps and noticed an "odd" type of headache which I've never experienced before. Started feeling down and anxious with feelings of despair. And very oddly, my eyelids felt like they weighed a ton and my eyes felt almost " swollen " or glazed over!? Not to mention, I've become uncharacteristicly irritable.Very odd feelings for a drug to give a person.I'm trying to stick with it, but I don't know if I can do this for another week:( | I'm on another medication which interferes negatively with most other antibiotics so keflex unfortunately is all I can take, so I'm in a bad position here. | F | 36 | 4 days | 6/5/2017 | 1 | Strep Group C | Unicorns | Demon Unicorns | M | 38 | 20 days 500 MG | 6/1/2017 | 1 | Infected nail bed | I woke up in the morning after the 1st does w a horrible headache and the back of my head and neck were in odd pain! Here it is 3:51am and after 3 doses my head and neck is so bad I am unable to sleep. Advil will not even ease the pain! Be very careful of the antibiotic! | F | 42 | 2 days | 5/4/2017 | 5 | Infection through a contact burn | Drowsiness | I felt unwell and thought side effects but it was the infection. The dosage of 1 x 250mg x 4 daily was doubled as infection wasn't clearing and by time finished course felt so much better. I would certainly take this medication again. | F | 7 days 250 | 4/24/2017 | 1 | UTI | Nausea,stomach pain,lower abd cramping,dizziness,fatigue,aching in back & legs. | I'm glad I ran across this and it has confirmed the reason why I've been feeling so bad! This drug is like poison to me! I'm going to stop it immediately and I hope these side effects go away soon! | F | 44 | 6 days 1000 mg | 4/23/2017 |
