1 | ear infection | severe anxiety loss of appetite, impending doom feeling, shaking, insomnia, dizzyness, panic attacks, diarrhea | would never recommend this drug to anyone | F | 28 | 7 days 300mg 2X day | 1/20/2022 | 1 | Sore throat, ear ache, headache | Anxiety. Panic attacks. Increased or irregular heart rate. High blood pressure. Brain fog. Lack of energy. Fatigue. Tiredness. | This medication may clear up things but the side effects are horrible. I'm supposed to take for 10 days, but after 5 days, I'm done. | M | 52 | 5 days 300 MG 2X day | 1/3/2022 | 5 | Crohns Disease | No mental side affects from this at all. It helps alot with crohns disease. I can stay out of the hospital if I stay on this. I get over flare ups much faster with this and don't develop serious problems. I definitely noticed herxheimer reactions with this when I first started it which is most likely what most of the people posting about such severe issues are having as well. It will kill most of your intestinal flora which is good for patients like me who can so easily have sibo. It completely eliminates my problem with excess gas, and smell. I have very little gas now. I also take S.Boulardii which is a yeast probiotic and not killed off by antibiotics. | M | 48 | 1 years 300 2X day | 11/3/2021 | 1 | Sinuses | Extreme weight loss went from 189 from May 18 to current. 166. Nov1st ..No appetite..extreme fatigue, anxiety, feeling of doom.or dread. Could not sleep .body pain.. blood pressure went up from 125/74 to 140/93..and more. More bruises than usual. I am hoping that these issues will resolve and there won't be any more issues. AS of now I feel like i am'm not doing good.im praying the weight will return if my weight loss is unhealthy. I absolutely not recommend anyone take these. | DON'T TAKE THESE OR ANY OTHER SULFER ANTIBIOTICS | F | 60 | 40 days 300 2X day | 11/1/2021 | 4 | Sinus and ear infection, bronchitis | Brain fog, gas, acid reflux, and very odd, very vivid dreams | Worked quickly and cleared up the infection after 3 weeks of suffering through and an ineffective course of amoxicillin. Side effects were tolerable, would take it again. | F | 37 | 10 days 300mg 2X day | 10/8/2021 | 1 | Ear infection | (Cefdinir) Caused insomnia, panic attacks, stomach aches jaw hurting | Never would take again | M | 18 | 6 days 300 2X day | 9/3/2021 | 3 | Bronchiectises | Severe Body aches and pains. | Foggy, tired. | F | 75 | 7 days 30mg 2X day | 8/28/2021 | 1 | Ear infection | I had extreme panic attacks after every dose I took! The last one happened at work and was so bad my arms and legs seized up and I couldn't move, I thought I was dieing! I stopped taking the drug and they stopped.. never again! | I was taking cefdinir | F | 37 | 3 days 300mg 2X day | 8/27/2021 | 1 | Chronic sinusitis | Severe anxiety, dizziness/balance problems, constant worry, depression, brain fog, insomnia, dry mouth, dry eyes | I already suffer anxiety and worry when it comes to health issues. Having chronic sinusitis already worsens my anxiety/depression and lack of motivation. I thought I was just getting sicker, but this medicine made me feel much worse. It may have cleared up some of the infection but would never recommend this. | M | 22 | 6 days 300 2X day | 8/21/2021 | 1 | Bronchitis | Depression, fatigue, zero motivation, just feel like I've been living on autopilot for a week now. Have 2 days left and I'm considering just not finishing it after reading these other reviews. | F | 35 | 10 days 300 2X day | 8/14/2021 | 1 | uti | horrible gas and indigestion. anxiety and brain fog. paranoia and insomnia. i would not recommend this drug to my worst enemy well maybe i might because this drug sucks!!!! AVOID!!!! | M | 23 | 8 days 300mg 1X day | 2/9/2021 | 2 | UTI | Anxiety, Panic Attacks, paranoia, constant fear, insomnia, increased heart rate. | I will never take this antibiotic again, I will ask for another. It cleared up my UTI, the abdominal pain is gone and I'm thankful for that but the side effects were like living in my own personal hell. A little over 24hrs into this I began getting paranoia induced shakes, insomnia, wake up with anxiety attacks or in the middle of the night with a rapid heart rate. No matter what I did I couldn't calm down like I usually can with meditation and exercise. I am prone to anxiety and this was like someone took my nervous dial and cranked it to 100. I'll never take this med again willingly, I had to combat with my lorazepam which I absolutely hate taking. Hoping now that the meds are done I can flush it out of my system and feel better in a day or two. | F | 32 | 7 days 2X day | 12/26/2020 | 1 | Sinusitis | I wasn't sure what was happening until reading the other reviews. Days into taking this medication I started feeling off, dizzy spells, trouble sleeping and turned into insomnia (I have always been an excellent sleeper). Then came the anxiety and impending doom. It was crazy. I think it got rid of the sinus infection but I'm not sure it was worth the risk. I've been on the medication for a week and am still having anxiety/sleep/balance issues. I've never been on anti anxiety meds in my life and just has to get on some. It was out of the blue and very sudden. Oh, and loss of appetite. | I would never take this again, ever. | F | 38 | 10 days 1X day | 12/25/2020 | 1 | Otitis Media | Anxiety(I was finally getting to a good place and not having panic attacks every night until this medication), stomach burning, weird pain when I took a deep breath, ringing in my ears, jaw pain, fatigue, headache, palpitations, tachycardia, and an almost strep looking rash on my arms. | I stopped this medication after 4 days. It did clear my ear infection that quick, but it definitely was not worth it. I will take the ear infection next time, never ever taking this again. I thought I was crazy until I read reviews. | F | 19 | 4 days 300 MG 2X day | 12/14/2020 | 1 | Ear infection | I took the generic version after fda discontinued it. Severe anxiety, fear, dread, panic attacks, thought I was losing my mind, still have symptoms days later, even crying spells | Horrible drug. Wouldn't recommend to anyone | F | 43 | 5 days 600mg 1X day | 12/4/2020 | 2 | Pneumonia | Intense and throbbing headache, jaw pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and insomnia | I took one dose of this and within an hour the headache started. I took a few Tylenol and it did not help as I was in extreme pain about 3 hours later. 24 hours later and I still have remnants of a headache on one side. Horrible drug. | F | 39 | 1 days 300 2X day | 11/28/2020 | 2 | Misdiagnosed Sinus infection | Excruciating headache and dizziness. Small rash on face | 4 days off of this medication, and still no relief from the side effects. | M | 27 | 10 days 300mg 2X day | 11/15/2020 | 1 | UTI | I couldn't even make it past day one without experiencing symptoms. Really bad stomach cramps and almost a burning sensation in my stomach. Experienced lots of gas and bathroom trips. This was only after one day! I stopped and switched to another medication. | F | 34 | 7 days 300MG 2X day | 11/5/2020 | 1 | Tonsillitis | Terrible! I wouldn't recommend this drug to ANYONE! I have Cold Sweats, Anxiety, Constant fear, and Nausea! I would really like to get off of this medicine. DO NOT TAKE IT | F | 17 | 7 days 2X day | 10/19/2020 | 3 | Bacterial Pneumonia | Sore stomach, terrible anxiety fear and dread, rapid pulse rate out of the blue and sweating. | It's cleared up my hacking, coughing and wheezing, but the side effects are pretty bad. Stomach pain, anxiety, absolute dread fear of anything and everything and weird dreams. The worst is the rapid pulse, shaking and weakness. After the first 3 days and tonight day 9, I started getting rapid pulse rate and sweating like a pig. I wondered why the urgent care doc gave me clonidine. He must have known the rapid heart rate was a side affect. I was scared to death. I took a clonidine, a cold shower and about an hour later I'm ok. Tomorrow is the last day. Never again will I take this medicine. Ever. | F | 61 | 10 days 300 2X day | 9/2/2020 |
