 1  Laryngitis & abscess The most horrific stomach cramps! Almost called an ambulance as I thought I had something seriously wrong... Pains in my back, overwhelming nauseous feeling, eventually after 2 days of dry heaving I began vomiting which was no relief.... As a single mother, alone at home with my small children it was utterly terrifying! I have never felt such stomach pain! The single worst side effects I have ever had!!! Far far worse then the original problem!!! Stopped taking before course ended and will NEVER take again!!! F 32 1 days

 1  Acne Awful anxiety, racing irrational thoughts, constant nausea, racing heart, feeling tired all the time, lack of concentration, very emotional, crying, bad stomach pain No information about side effects such as anxiety on in the information. Saw two doctors and spoke about what I was experiencing and neither made the connection and proceeded to proscribe more whilst giving me the information for the local CBT clinic. I was sure it was my contraceptive pill which I have to take to stop symptoms of endometriosis. Such a horrible few months wish I'd seen this sooner. F 23 2 months

 1  Dog bite: preventing infection Day 1 was okay. The first night however, I became very bloated, nauseous and anxious. Day 2 was a nightmare at work, being completely lethargic and anxious at the same time. I've suffered from a depression 5 years ago and that exact feeling I was hoping never to experience again struck me after only 24 hours of taking these pills. Day 3: zombie state, very depressed, nauseous, dizzy, bloated looking like I'm 5 months pregnant, stool looks like cat barf. Insomnia, heart 'flutterings' combined with severe nausea, the feeling electric sparks are shooting through my body. Slightly deaf on one side, wheezing sound in the other ear. Day 4: still very anxious and depressed, the thought of food alone makes me gag. I'm going to contact my doctor tomorrow and ask him if I can be freed from this nightmare after taking 16 out of 24 tablets... my wound just looks like a regular scratch (about 4x1mm on my finger) and is almost healed already. Feels like I'm torturing myself for nothing. This was prescribed to me after I mentioned amoxicillin gives me bad diarrhea and I'm trying to get pregnant. A. I take the diarrhea over this nightmare any day and B. We will probably end up skipping this month when it comes to trying to get pregnant now anyways, because of how I'm feeling. F 33 6 days

 1  Ear Infection Severe debilitating upper abdomen pain through back. Pulsating stomach muscles. Feelings of nausea but no actual vomit. Excessive burping. After taking only 1 pill approximately a half an hour later I started experiencing SEVERE abdominal pains that brought me to tears and left me doubling over. I've never felt this way before from taking any antibiotic. It was unreal. I was in a fetal position for at least two hours. It has now been over 8 hours since I've only taken one pill and I am still experiencing stomach pains, though not as severe as previously. I took with food and that did not help. I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN. It should be recalled. I'd rather deal with the infection than experience that type of pain ever again. I called my doctor and let her know I will absolutely not continue with this treatment. She switched me to Amoxicillin. I hope it helps. F 31 14 days

 1  Acne Hunger pains I've tried many antibiotics for my acne, so far nothing has worked. Usually antibiotics don't give me any bad side effects, however with this one i found myself experiencing severe constant hunger pains after the first day of taking them. I thought it was just a coincidence but after 3 days it has continued so I have stopped taking the medication. Guess I'll have to find something new... F 17 3 days
