I took Omnicef for 4 or 5 days and felt so very sick with stomach ache and extreme weakness, dizziness and a state of confusion. I think my blood pressure plumpeted, but at the time I didn't have the presence of mind to take my blood pressure. I really felt like I was dying. The doctor took me off it and put me on a Z-pack and gave me a corticosteroid shot. The weakness lifted, but I developed a horrible skin rash, kind of acne like, with hundreds of tiny little under the skin bumps all over my face. And my skin went from being very dry to very oily. They never erupt, they are just there under the skin surface and they won't go away. I'm going to go to a dermatologist. It's been three weeks of this and if anything they are getting worse.
