I am a 29 year old nursing student that bartends on the weekends, I was given this medication by my doctor for an infection on my finger near the nail and on my cutical.
The first day I was on the medication I had swollen hands that felt like little needles were stabbing me all over them, which honestly I could deal with as a side effect. The second day I was vomitting within 45 minutes of taking the medication. The third day was the same, I threw up in the trash can at work. By the fourth day, I experienced the worst pain in my chest I have ever had. Being a nursing student, I seriously considered going to the ER (mind you I have never had heartburn or anything like it). I thne looked up the medication on the web and found this website.
Thank you everyone for shareing your stories with us! I looked up heartburn from some health sites and determined that was the side effect I was experiencing...sever heartburn that made me sleep sitting up, but hey I wasn't dying : )
I have stopped taking this medication and I will be calling my doctor.
Oh yea, I woke up with itchy/blotching skin, everywhere...good times.
