Omnicef and bronchitis

I'm a sixteen-year-old girl and I was put on Amoxacillin after the doctor said I had Bronchitis, along with liquid codeine.. The codeine caused me to pass out less than 4 hours after first dose. Along with passing out I also went blind for about 20 minutes and couldn't hear. When I didn't get better from that my doctor prescribed me Omnicef. I threw up the next day after taking it and I also am constantly nauseous and sleep way too much. I am really tired all the time too, no matter how much I sleep. And my 'private area' smells like alcohol. I also am having back and lower pelvic pain. This is ridiculous. Screw this drug. The FDA should NOT have okay'd it. Anyone else have these problems?

Went to the doctor week and half ago for flu and found out that i had ear infection and bronchitis also.. Dr. prescribed omnicef this time.. (300mg - two pills once a day) and i took the 10 day course.. infection somewhat cleared.. but i had tremendous stomach cramps and loose stools, gas, bloating, etc.. I thought that those effects might have been part of my flu... and after being off the antibiotic for 3-4 days, they started to go away.. so.. went to the doctor two days ago and she wanted me to do another 10 day course of the omnicef to finish clearing up my ear infection and bronchitis.. the same night i started this course.. (last night).. i immediately had the stomach cramps, gas, etc.. all over again.. i am convinced it is this antibiotic and will be calling the doc in the morning.. i AM NOT taking any more of this stuff.. the side effects are debilitating

I have had rectal bleeding for the last 3 days. I saw the doctor who referred me for a coloscopy after I complained. No information on how to stop this or why I'm bleeding. Also very bad heartburn and depression. Gee, who wouldn't be depressed if they saw blood from their anus?
I'd rather have bronchitis, thank you very much.

My six year old has a severe case of bronchitis. The dr put her on omnicef. She'd never taken it before. By the third day, she had severe diarrhea, headaches, severe mood swings (comparable to bi-polar highs and lows), sore muscles and joints, vomitting and very loud stomach issues. After that third dose I decided not to give her anymore after reading the severe side affects from this site. The morning after she missed the 4th dose, her fever was gone! I can tell that the medication is still in her system as she has not returned to normal yet. The dr called in amoxil for her and she's never had any reactions to it. I will never give her Omnicef again! What a horrible thing to give to children! Is the drug company paying out $$ for them to push this drug?

I was diagnosed with sinusitis, bronchitis and tonsillitis when I was prescribed Omnicef 2 weeks ago. I began taking it immediately. Terrible black diarrhea began the next day continued during the entire course of antibiotic and now after finishing the medication four days ago I have persistent diarrhea that is clear with some bile. This has never happened to me before and now I am very concerned after reading everyone else's reaction. Why is this stuff being prescribed??? Sorry if the descriptions are too graphic....

my 20 month old daughter just started on omnicef anti. and so far she hasn't had any reaction to it and i think that she is doing fine and that i will still continue giving her it and in the future to if she needs it. like she does now cause of having an ear infection and bronchitis. but i do advise to getting checked to see if your child is allergic to the antibiotic or something that is in it that they are allergic too. but i do want you all to know that i would reccommend this antibiotic if your child has bronchitis or ear infections.

I am a 42 year old woman and have never had an alergic reaction or bad reaction to any medicine my whole life. I started taking omnicef for bronchitis, and on the fifth day began having chronic diarrhea, which I did not equate with the drug at all. Today is my 10th (last day) on the prescription and I am just now realizing the cause of my extreme discomfort and weakness, which I thought must be a horrible virus!

I starting taking Omnicef Feb. 16, 2006 for Chonic bronchitis. Since the first initial dose, I have experienced brick red bowel movements, loss of appetite, restlessness from having to "flip" every few minutes to try and lessen the pain in my back and abdomen, and blood in my urine. After going to the E.R. I had blood tests, and a CT scan. I was told that no kidney stones were found so the problem had to be with the medication and stop taking it. It is now March 1, 2006 and I STILL have blood in my urine. I am going back to the E.R. today, and will post the results of this visit as soon as I can. But, I cannot believe after so many people have experienced these side effects, Omnicef is still being use. My 8 y.o. was prescribed Omnicef and I would not DARE give this to my child!

I have two children who were both prescribed Omnicef for bronchitis/sinus infections. My four year old began complaining within hours of severe stomache cramping and vomited followed the next morning by HUGE(golf ball and larger) hives all over her body(worse on her hands and feet) We stopped it immediately and swithched antibiotics. My 2 year old had already been on for a few days and had become very cranky, pacing back and forth, crying, mean,hitting,and repeating himself over and over. He was unable to sleep at night and developed what the doctor called excema mostly on his face and scalp. He completed the med yesteday and today broke out in full body hives (not as big as my daughters but very itchy and more severe around his eyes, hands and bottom. I was amazed that these side effect are supposedly not common but my two children who have both been on several different antibiotics for ear infections have never had any reaction. No more Omnicef at my house!!!!!

Ever since i had been diagnosed for having Upper Respiratory, darn near Bronchitis, the dr. put me on Omnicef, symptoms have not been all the same that i have read, but this is what i am experiencing, hopefully someone can help me out:
-very weak
-no energy to do much
-nausiated at times
-headache
-dizziness
-no sleeping at times
-night sweats
-no solid stool (no blood or anything that i know of)
now reading all of the side effects that people have experienced i think that i am going to stop taking this med to see if i improve, i do not want to continue having no energy, be weak or anything, please help me if you can

Started taking Ominicef 300 mg. for upperrespitory infection
and Bronchitis on Dec 17,2005 dose 2 300mg tabs daily,
I developed extrime diaharea, which continued for 5 days, I was supposed to take this for 7 days, on the 5th day I developed an extemely sore throat which felt like a boil in my
throat, went back to the Dr. and had blood tests done I had
noticed a coffee ground effect coming from the stool, the test
showed that I was bleeding internaly and there was blood in the stool. The doctor had me stop taking it, I have just started to have normal looking stools, but this extreme reaction has
left me very weak,due to the extreme loss of fluid and blood

my mother who is 76 years, developed diarhrrea after being on this for 3 days. On day 4 she also has started vomiting along with the D, cold chills no appetite. I cant say for sure if it is the omnicef, her Rx wants to see if she has a bowel infection. Her original illness was bronchitis!

I am 38 years old and was prescribed Omnicef for bronchitis. After three doeses I have elevated heart rate, raw patches on ears, face flushed, can't sleep, no appetite.
