I have been taken Cephalexin for 4 days now, 500mg my pill is red. My side affects are loose bowels, stomach boiling like it maybe upset, and a very bad case of the burps .Although it is hot air that come up. It leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth and almost makes me want to vomit. I also feel as though I could go to sleep every time I sit down .

I was taking solumedrol for five days for an acute attack of MS. I was fine throughout the treatment the nurse came out to my home and showed me and my son what was to be done each day. I left the drip set to 104 which took around 2 hours to complete. The only things I experienced during the treatment was having a metalic taste in my mouth and sour burps thereafter, something I found helpful for this was to take tums or rolaids before my treatment and maybe one or two afterwards. I did ask the nurse was that something I was supposed to experience and she said yes. On my 5th day I took my medication and took the IV out. A couple days passed and I woke up one morning to looking like I was reliving my puberty years I mean my face was broke out all over, my forehead, cheeks, chin oh and also my back. I don't know if this is one of the side effects but I am putting it up here anyways. I have never had a break out like that before, my face is clearing up now, my back is up together, but I did notice that on my forehead where the bumps have dried up my skin looks different sort of like snake skin, and my cheeks look as if they have a rash. I think it did have something to do with the medication because like I said I have never experienced anything like this before, and my skin has never looked the way it looks now. Hopefully it will pass. On the positive note the medication did help me out with my attack, and I feel like I am back on track and pretty much my old self again.

My husband was prescribed 750 mg of Levaquin to be taken over a 14 day period. After 3 days he had the most bizare reactions; heavy chest, pain in his arms and legs, constant "burps" among other things. We called his doctor and went in to see him. His first remark was there was no connection between the antibiotic and his "reaction." No amount of discussion would convince the doctor we had a toxic reaction to Levaquin. This was in October of 2006 and today my husband is still feeling the effects of this drug. I wrote to the FDA and I've not received a reply, which I was assured would be forthcoming, nothing works to get rid of this toxin and our medical profession does not accept any responsibilty in prescribing this harmful drug. IT MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. Our thinking is perhaps a lawsuit will get the manufacturers attention...what do you think?

I am a 42 y/o woman rxed sulfameth far a UTI. I just completed my 5 day rx. From day one I had diarrhea, and stomach upset, but for the past 2 days I have heartburn which was rivaled only by the hearburn when at the end of my pregnancy with twins. It burns when I eat, and when I don't. I have gas, and the burps. And today I have begun to have joint pain in my jaw, throat, and in my chest if I take a deep breath. The strange thing is I have taken Bactrim in the past with no ill effects. Is the generic really that different...or am I just old! Hopefully the side effects will subside now that I have completed my course of meds. (it also made my chronic eczema worse...but just about anything can trigger that)

Have been taking zantac 300 for about two weeks. At the beginning, took it in the mornings but fatigue was so extreme that I had to switch to taking it at night. Started waking with extreme breathlessness and stomach cramps, which I didn't tie in with the tablets. Two weeks later, stomach cramps (stomach and centre abdomen) are getting increasingly worse. I've also had increased anxiety, a trapped gas feeling in entire abdomen, I burp constantly but the burps don't relieve me and I feel breathless and very panicky with them and I also feel that I am full up to my eyeballs, even after the smallest amount of food. I've lost my appetite even more (something I didn't think was possible considering how little I was eating). My joints and muscles ache. But the reason I'm going to stop taking this tonight is the unbearable stomach pain, I'm hoping the Zantac is the reason for this ... the ulcer pain that I had prior to starting Zantac was more bearable, I think I'll stick to antacids.
