I'm immediately going to stop taking it. It makes me so sleepy and my body ache. Every time I wake up I have a headache. My back is killing me. The idea of walking across makes me tired and like a strenuous task. Honestly, I feel worse on this medication than I did before I was prescribed it. | F | 21 | 10 days 250 2X day | 12/5/2015 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Partially cleared sinus infection still had headache and clogged ear. Went to different doctor gave me Augmentin it was like magic after first dose. He told me Ceftin should not be given for Sinus infection and did an partial JOB clearing it. Please check to see what you are prescribed, scary to think Bacteria truly is becoming Antibiotic resistant. | M | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 12/1/2015 | 3 | Bronchitis | The first day was fine, the second day (3 pills down,17 to go) I felt that my bronchitis symptoms were less severe, but still present. Third day, (5 pills down; 15 to go) same as second day, +added side effect of nausea and dizziness..and a yeast infection which I am now treating with flucozole. I am now on the fourth day, (7 pills down,13 to go), bronchitis is still present, +side effects-caught off guard by an overwhelming feeling of NAUSEA every couple of hours, for most of the day so far. I have to sit still,close my eyes, and hope it goes away. Finally, the nauseous feeling was accompanied by VOMIT about 2 hours before my PM dose. I will not be taking this any longer. | F | 21 | 10 days 2x/day | 10/3/2015 | 3 | sinus infecton, clogged ear | nervousness, diarrhea, flushes skin, stomach cramp | I've been on this for10 days so far it has helped clear the headache from sinus infection but my face and ear still has pressure.

I just had to drink a lot of water and I was fine. I took probiotics so I didn't get any stomach problems. I have a lot more energy now than I did when I started taking it, so it must have helped with the Lyme. | F | 26 | 2 months 500mg 2x | 8/8/2015 | 5 | sinus infection upper respiratory | I am allergic to almost every antibiotic there is.
