 1  UTI Weakness, fatigue, anxiety, impending doom, chills, dizziness, heart pounding, brain fog, abdomen pain, constipation for first two days and then loose/runny for the next ones, shaky feeling, slightly more difficult to breathe, heat flashes I don't have anxiety off the drug, nor do I experience any of the other side effects. I had to return to the ER after slashing for an hour with extreme anxiety, palpitations, and shaking/convulsing. Switched off the drug and had to be given strong antihistamines before shaking stopped. Avoid this drug! F 20 6 days

 1  Sinus Infection Extreme dry mouth and throat, migraine headache, jaw pain, neck pain, body aches, extreme dizziness, disrupted sleep, increased anxiety that led to anxiety attack. I will never take his medication again in my life - adding it to the growing list of meds I cannot take. The worst side effect for me was the crazy anxiety and feeling of impending doom. I do not mean to be dramatic, but it really started to scare me until I realized it had to be the meds causing it. Awful. I would not recommend this medication. F 44 3 days

 1  Sinus infection Extreme dizziness, Vision problems, extreme drowsiness, headache, jaw pain, ear ache, confusion, anxiety, body aches, tingling sensation- head Avoid if you can! This medicine caused me 2 ER trips, 3 Dr appts, numerous tests and referrals and hundreds of $$! ALL unnecessary. Was prescribed 10 days of Cefdinir for what the Dr thought was a sinus infection. I immediately started having the symptoms above and truly believed the infection was getting worse and was affecting inner ear or brain. After my trips to ER and doctors, I was “diagnosed” w fluid in ears, vertigo, migraine, and spent hundreds of dollars on healthcare all within 8 days of starting the med. I was even referred to an ent specialist out of town. Smh. On day 9, since my symptoms weren’t getting better, I decided to skip a dose and see how I felt and if it was the med. About 80 percent of my symptoms were gone! To confirm it- A couple hours later, I took another antibiotic. Within an hour ALL symptoms were back and I am just sick about it and so disappointed that this drug is being given without warnings. Hoping this helps someone. F 44 10 days

 1  Ear infection DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE ANXIETY NATURALLY! I was rushed to the ER for a panic attack from forgetting my address. Felt like I couldn’t think… I literally spent 4 days thinking I was dying. I genuinely felt like my life was ending. I have NEVER felt this type of anxiety or panic before. I finally put it all together after reading these reviews. And i was only taking it 1 time a day cause I was too scared to take it twice! My doctor put me on meds for anxiety and I’m not realizing it’s not me, it’s the meds! Cause every morning I woke up completely normal and fine until I took the antibiotic. F 30 4 days

 1  Ear infection Chills/ hot flashes, panicky anxiety, sleepiness, severe diarrhea, vomiting. After 1 day. I am already anxious so I didn't link my panic attack to the medication until I read these comments. I really wished I had read the side effects of this medication before taking it especially these reviews here. It may have prevented me from calling out of work today. F 37 1 days

 1  Sinus infection Terrible anxiety, depression, lingering headache, nausea, sleeplessness (waking up multiple times in middle of night) I totally thought, like many reviews mention, that my anxiety spike was coincidental but now I don't think so. I had a panic attack on day 4 and vomited everything in my stomach up. Mind racing, so many anxious thoughts, etc. will never take Omnicef again. M 20 10 days

 1  Sinus infection Severe headache, ringing in ears, dizziness, tired Absolutely horrible. My headache started on day 4 and I ended up going to urgent care to make sure everything was ok. Tylenol, advil, nor excedrin migraine touched the headache. Ultimately quit taking before I finished the prescription. F 31 8 days

 4  Ear infection and respiratory infection Depression exacerbated. Have no affect at all. Feel nothing inside. Was likely slightly depressed before starting omnicef. Do not recommend for anyone with any mental issues at all. I am currently on Day 5. Only realized today that I am depressed beyond the norm. My infections are clearing up, but I really don't care about anything at all...which is worse than the infections, IMO F 53 5 days
