Omnicef and stomach cramps

i'm a 19 year old college student, and i'm on my last 3 days of this medication, and while i had bad side effects at first, i waited them out, and now they're mostly gone. i had stomach cramps, that gassy feeling, i was dizzy and felt faint...i felt like i was in a cloud and couldn't function. however, it was better than the misery i was experiencing from the sinus infection, where i was only able to sleep. i can return to work, and some side effects still linger , but its def. done its job as an antibiotic. i did develop a yeast infection from the antibiotic i took before omnicef, which is why i didn't want to change medicines again. i was on another antibiotic, which made me deathly sick. omnicef is supposed to have less severe side effects than other bacterial infection antibiotics out there. i did take a probiotic with the omnicef, i recommend taking one with any antibiotic. it levels out your bacteria levels, which may stop stomach problems altogether.

Now I know that I am not going crazy! I am a 42 year old woman diagnosed with strep throat last week...I was prescribed Omnicef for 10 days...300 mg twice daily.
I have had horrible stomach cramps, severe debilitating muscle aches, no energy at all, don't feel like getting out of bed, let alone going to work. I have been very moody, downright evil to my family...and I didn't know why. Today I was in such bad shape that I told my husband that I must have something bad wrong with me, like cancer, because I felt like I was dying. I am NOT taking my last 4 doses...I just hope it gets out of my system by Monday. Thanks for this site....I have hope now.

I am 52 years old. Omnicef was prescribed to me for an ear and sinus infection. I took the medication for five of the ten days prescribed. Praise God, I did not take the remaining five days. Otherwise, I believe I would be in the hospital! I missed three days of work due to non-stop diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps and rumbling, muscle and joint pain. I cannot begin to describe the pain this medication causes. It was been 17 days since my first dose of this horrific drug and I am still having stomach issues. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU TAKE THIS DRUG! I WILL NEVER TAKE IT AGAIN.

My 6 yr old dtr was given omnicef for strep throat. I hate this medicine. She has had nausea and vomiting, stomach cramps, and poor appetite. I lowered the dose after 2 days and stopped the medicine after five days. It has now been 1 week since she took her first dose and she is still having nausea and stomach cramps when she gets up in the morning
and her sore throat is back! Stay away from this med!

48 yr old / Female. I began taking Omnicef for pneumonia in both lower lungs. I experience a very bad case of diarrhea. I completed the 10 days, but now am having stomach cramps and still have soft bowel movement.
