Ceftin (cefuroxime axetil) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Ceftin (cefuroxime axetil)
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. I felt better without the medication. Having my Dr switch it tomorrow.
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.
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.
Extreme nausea, migraine. Anxiety and body ache
Kidney pain, leg pain from top to bottom, severe calf cramps (still lasting days after stopping), random headaches.
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.
Horrible anxiety and shakiness. Not good for mental health.
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.
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.
Anxiety, insomnia, dark thoughts, crying, sweats and shaking.
Severe Leg cramps, lower back pain..
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.
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.
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.
UTI, Bladder and Kidney Infection
Diarrhea, dark stools, fatigue, weakness, chills, chest discomfort.
Better these side effects than being hospitalized with 103.4 fever, severe pain and vomiting.
Nausea, bad taste in mouth, and insomnia
It help relieve the swelling and sinus pain in my face. I can deal with the nausea. Didn't effect me too much and I have gi issues
Cramps stomache pelvic pain leg and back pain stools frequently foul smelling.... never again
Weakness, heart palpitations, extreme chest pain

This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I honestly can't tell a difference when I am on or off of Effexor XR, except for the terible migranes that I experience when missing a dose.
Never suffered with depression or anxiety in my life until taking this drug. I have felt severe detachment to myself and my surroundings, brain fog to the point where at the hairdressers yesterday I couldn't even say the word "hair dye". Woke up today and had the worst thoughts imaginable, so got into bed and just cried. Absolutely horrendous night sweats, but no actual sweat, just the feeling of burning up and nothing could help.
Chronic Stuffy Nose - Left Side
Dry mouth, slow reaction time, poor concentration, excessive sleepiness.
Sudden High temperature/Flu like symptoms
Being diagnosed with an unheard of disease like PCOD shocked me. The doc told me the side-effects of the disease would be infertility, weight gain, and insulin/sugar problems. My doc then put me on Metformin. After experiencing immediate side-effects of severe light and sound sensitivity, nausea, and aches, my doc decided to switch me to a "less harsh" drug: Actos. After the initial side-effects, I started to feel okay. I had, however, gained 40-50 lbs. in a span of 8 months. Trainers say that I'm on the verge of being severely overweight. Before being diagnosed, I had a fairly stable weight at about 130...I look back in pictures and compared to now, I felt pretty darn skinny back then. It hurts because people see me in my present state and they don't understand that this is me at all. This isn't normal. I exercise regularly and eat healthy, with no avail still. A couple weeks ago, I began having waves of nausea out of nowhere. My last appt. I talked to my doc about the weigh
i would recommend it in a heartbeat. Although everryone is different this worked wonders for me. Lost about 10 lbs in a year and no periods! More importantly, I am not pregnant!
It has definately helped with my uncontrollable crying and incesant thoughts about death. However, the main reason I take it is for anxiety. At first it helped, but now after a few months, I cannot tell a difference. I've also gained about 60 pounds because I became more depressed and freaked out, leading me to just give up on a healthy lifestyle as well as failing an entire semester at my university.
no sex drive (getting better with time)
15 YRS ON DEPO. I'VE BEEN OFF OF IT SINCE 8/08. I'M NOW HAVING PERIODS EVERY 14-16 DAYS FOR 6 DAYS. I NO LONGER HAVE THE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION PROBLEMS I HAD, I FEEL MUCH MORE NORMAL AND RATIONAL I DON'T 'FLY OFF THE HANDLE' FOR SILLY REASONS. I HAVE YET TO LOSE THE WEIGHT THAT I GAINED WHILE ON DEPO. ONE OF MY FIRST UNDENYABLE CLUES THAT DEPO WAS THE ISSUE, WAS WHEN I STARTED GOING TO THE GYM AND WORKING OUT 2HRS A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK FOR 6 MONTHS WITH NO WEIGHT LOSS WHAT-SO-EVER! I LOST VERY MINIMAL INCHES NOTHING SIGNIFIGANT ENOUGH TO BEGIN TO JUSTIFY THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES I WAS BURNING!! I'M IN THE 'DETOX' STAGE OF THE PROCESS NOW, INITIALLY (1ST COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER STOPPING)I HAD SEVERE CRAMPS & BREAST TENDERNESS, I BEGAN TO START FEELING MORE 'NORMAL' WITH LESS ANXIETY & DEPRESSION. I FEEL MORE 'NORMAL' AS EACH DAY GOES BY, MY PERIODS SEEM TO BE LIGHTENING A LITTLE THE BREAST TENDERNESS IS MINIMAL BEFORE MY CYCLE AND THE CRAMPS ARE BARELY NOTICEABLE. I'M SOON GOING TO GIVE THE EXERCISE ROUTINE ANOTHER TRY. I WILL LIKELY SEEK OUT THE HELP OF AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST TO FIND OUT WHAT MY BODY IS DOING.I HOPE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE WHO HAS GONE THRU THE 'DETOX' OF DEPO AFTER BEING ON IT FOR YEARS SO THAT I HAVE AN IDEA OF ANYTHING ELSE I MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
