 2  Ear infection Chest tightness, heart palpitations, breathlessness, loss of appetite, ongoing ear pain with a new headache, foggy, unusually anxious, It makes me feel more sick and fatigue than I was with the ear infection alone.

 1  UTI Caused severe chest pain past 3 days, increased anxiety/panic attacks, appetite reduced, feeling that ears are blocked which subsides eventually. I don't recommend this. I can tolerate cephalexin but not cefuroxime. F 63 4 days

 4  Bronchitis/sinus infection Dizziness, palatations (during & after usage) , bad dreams, lack of appetite, lethargy, fatigue, muscle aches (after usage), coughing (after usage), increased anxiety attacks, off smell to urine, diarrhea, heartburn (states it can be taken on empty stomach-DON'T DO IT!), chest discomfort, foul gas and fatigue, cramping in abdominal area I love cephdinir much much better than this shit. It's very strong to me but it'll get rid of UTI and bronchitis and sinus infection. I can not take this crap longer than 5 days because the irregular heat beating drives me up the wall. My chest ached about 2 days after u started and only got a bit worse. I don't have any underlined health issues but this drug I'd hard pass for something else any day. F 34 5 days

 3  Bronchitis Dizziness, heart racing, terrible gas, fatigue (felt like I slipped into a coma), irritability, anxiety, feeling off and sad, can not stress the heart stuff and severe drowsiness enough. Muscle pains. Burping more than usual. A lot of antibiotics give me some kind of fucked up side effect usually to do with the heart and I don't like any medicines that do that. But since my bronchitis has been going on for a while and I needed something that was going to help I've been on it for about 3 days as of July 9th 2022 and I absolutely do not like this medicine I like softener more cuz at least I can get five to six days a nap before my body is just like yeah I don't want to do that anymore. But with something my Max for it at 500 mg is about 3 days. F 34 0 days

 1  Ear infection After half an hour of taking this I was violently throwing up for 2-3 hours, then that triggered an aura and I couldn't see for 15min. I will never take this EVER! They switched me to omnicef which isn't that great either bc of panic attacks. F 39 1 days

 1  UTI, following a week on Cipro Brutal migraines within 30 minutes of swallowing since Day 1. Insomnia & vivid dreams when I did sleep. Day 7, intense dizziness. Despite no longer showing nitrites (only leukocytes) in urine, urgent care center gave me these "to clear up any remaining infection". I was told to take them 2x a day for 10 days. The headaches are so bad, I am stopping after Day 8--I see no benefit, & my quality of life right now is obviously negatively affected--significantly so. If you're at all prone to any kind of headache--migraine, sinus-related, tension--I would ask your Doctor to prescribe something else. Ceftin are simply HORRIBLE. F 61 8 days

 1  Sinus infection The pills were hard for me to swallow. I have little energy. I have been anxious with some depression while taking the pills. Today is day 8 and I got very lightheaded and weak for the first time. Luckily no stomach issues like others have commented. I have used this antibiotic before, pre covid, I don't remember the emotional side effects being so intense. My only other medication I take is clonazepam as needed. F 66 10 days

 1  Lyme Infection I've taken this before and this time it is a horrific experience. The extreme anxiety, heat intolerance and tachycardia are unbearable. Not sure I'm going to make it through the final doses. I already went to the ER once because my heart wouldn't stop racing. I would never recommend this medication. F 45 15 days

 3  UTI/bladder infection Dizziness and balance problems. Restless sleep filled with bad dreams. Feel lethargic and somewhat depressed, and I've never had depression problems in my life. Neck and upper back pain, puffy swollen face, especially around my eyes. The side effects are very uncomfortable, but I have very limited options since I'm allergic to so many antibiotics. This seems to be clearing my UTI, so I'm powering through the side effects. F 61 20 days
250mg 2X day

 4  Lyme Disease Severe Migraine, brain fog, fatigue I spent every single day and night of the 28 days with the worst migraines I have every had in my life. They were the most painful, skull throbbing migraines. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t focus. It was a chore to do anything besides lying down and nothing helped. All I could do was cry because I felt so helpless. I thought the migraines were from the lymes disease until I stopped taking ceftin and only a day later, the painful severe migraines went away. (I took a month of Doxy a couple of months ago but only experienced brain fog, and moderate migraines for only 2-3 days). F 28 28 days
