| 1 | UTI | This is awful! Severe headache, nausea, and body aches are intense. My legs hurt to even walk on them. My neck, chest, and back hurt sooooo bad. I've just been in bed all day. Intense exhaustion. Will not take again! | F | 45 | 0 days 500 2X day | 9/2/2020 | 1 | SIBO / Proteus mirabilis infection | Severe headaches on and off by 3rd day. I could have tolerated headaches but then the left side of jaw from mid lip to ear became numb after 5th day. I had taken 10 of the 28 pills prescribed Also had numbness in left foot that would migrate up leg. It's been 2 weeks since I stopped taking ceftin and I still have symptoms of numbness. | F | 68 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 8/20/2020 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Underarm swelling and pain. Swelling and pain behind ears neck and head. Nausea. | I had to stop taking the medication on day six when the side effects became too painful. My sinus infection was clearing but i was afraid of the side effects. I also have Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia. | F | 68 | 6 days 250mg 1X day | 8/10/2020 | 1 | Pneumonia/Low Respiratory Infection | Nausea, vomiting, frequent bowel movements more than normal, aches, loss of appetite | Given to me from the ER. I only took it twice for one day and it was hell on earth. Immediately hours after taking each dose, I experienced horrible nausea and vomiting each time (I ate crackers and it didn’t help). Wanted to see if others experienced horrible side effects too and found this page. Not continuing the rest of the dosage. Not worth it at all. I felt like a zombie. Think I’ll just stick to my Z pack. | F | 27 | 1 days 500mg | 3/29/2020 | 5 | Lyme disease | Itchy, irritable, 21 nights of nightmares then insomnia. | I couldn’t take penicillin or minocycline because of life threatening reactions. Lyme disease isn’t something to play around with so I’ve muscled through the side effects. Grateful I had an option because the treatment worked. But, I wouldn’t recommend Ceftin unless you have no other option. | F | 36 | 28 days 1000mg | 3/3/2020 | 2 | strep throat/ pneumonia | Constant dizziness, confusing, fatigue. Always dehydrated. Makes me feel depressed. Constant crying over literally nothing. Drowsiness. Increases production of saliva. Makes you feel lifeless. Minor heart burn | It REALLY messes up your mental health so I do not recommend this for anything especially with mental health issues. This makes me seriously suicidal. It’s not even helping my sickness and I have to take this for 7 more days :(. The only con is that it doesn’t make you feel nauseous if you take it AFTER food. I also didn’t get diarrhoea or constipated like a lot of people do on this. | F | 19 | 10 days 500 | 12/6/2019 | 1 | Sinus & Ear infection | Dizzy, Head congestion, headache, tiredness, faint, neck soreness | F | 18 | 2 days 500mg | 11/14/2019 | 1 | Bacterial infection | Depressed, crying. Insomnia. Stomach ache. Feel Irritable I And achy. | This medication seems too harsh. | F | 54 | 14 days 250 | 8/9/2019 | 5 | Strep | None | Did its job. | M | 52 | 10 days 500mg x2 p | 5/16/2019 | 1 | UTI | faintness, weakness, no energy, constipation, fluttering heart, almost fainted several times, had to put my head lower than feet. Generally tired and felt awful and depressed. | Stay away from this drug, there are other milder ones that will help more. This one will leave you feeling terrible for a long time. There is no reason to give this to anyone, especially elderly people who may not live through it. Don't put up with it. I cut the dosage in half on the second day - doctor told me to after I complained - but still have side effects listed above even after ending it. | F | 77 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 5/13/2019 | 1 | Uti | Back pain insomnia anxiety numbness in face bad terrible side effects NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I PUT THIS HORRIBLE DRUG IN MY BODY! | F | 39 | 1 days 500mg | 5/10/2019 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Dizzy, weak, more tired than usual, irritable, anxious, nervous. | I HATE THIS DRUG. | F | 26 | 8 days 1000 | 2/15/2019 | 1 | Sinus infection | The first two days were fine but then some feelings of shakiness,light headed, heart flutters and weakness set in. About one hour after taking the pill the symptoms would start. Every day worsened until the last day of the medication I nearly blacked out and fell to floor uncontrollably shaking for about an hour. I have been off of this medication for 23 days now and I am still experiencing heart flutters and shakes with extreme anxiety. I’ve been to the ER three times now because I honestly thought I was going to die. I am allergic to PENNISILIAN and should not have been prescribed this drug. | Don’t risk it. Too strong. | F | 41 | 7 days 500 mg 2x | 1/2/2019 | 1 | UTI | Horrible anxiety, cannot stop moving, pacing, too dizzy to even try to lie down and when I do I have to get right back up and pace. Stomach pain, diarrhea, lower abdomen is bloated, nausea, nightmares. | This drug has made me sicker than I was a d now I'm a nervous wreck praying it gets out of my system fast. | F | 61 | 2 days 500 mg | 9/11/2018 | 1 | UTI | Ive already listed my side effects, anxiety being the worst, dizziness, can't sit still, pacing, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, diarrhea but forgot to add that my eyes burn to the point of having to squeeze them shut to try and squelch the pain | Will never touch this drug again | 61 | 2 days 500 mg | 9/11/2018 | 1 | Epydidimitis/ prostate infection | Rash, body wide burning sensation, sore throat and mouth, fatigue, brain fog, burning in esophagus and stomach. | I took third first dose last Tuesday night (10 days ago) Thursday morning after my fourth dose I noticed a faint rash on my neck. I quit taking it. Ever since then the side effects and symptoms have gotten more severe. I’m starting to think this drug has triggered something really horrific with me. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! TELL YOUR DR TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING ELSE!!! | M | 45 | 2 days 500 mg 2x | 9/6/2018 | 1 | Lyme Disease | Drunk, literally drunk. The medication stinks of alcohol. It burns my mouth. My face & eyes are puffy, hyper, epigastric pain thst caused shortness of breath. Couldn't lay down because can't breath. I burped and smelled like whiskey. I'm not a drinker. My pupils are weird. I can't make myself take another one. | F | 42 | 10 days 500mg Bid | 8/29/2018 | 1 | Sinus | Never again! Total exhaustion, dizzy, dreams, constipation, terrible muscle aches like flu. Doctor pulled me off. Gave me Zithromax . Took 2 days to get Ceftin out of me. Miserable. I wouldn't recommend Ceftin to even someone on death row. Horrible. | M | 71 | 2 days | 8/25/2018 | 2 | UTI | Nausea and sores | 49 | 5 days 250 | 7/14/2018 | 1 | Throat Infection | Absolutely horrible... Felt like I had the flu on this Rx.
