Karen - what you are experiencing sounds more like a bad allergic reaction to this drug than simply side effects. If there is any way you can get into an urgent care center that would be ideal, even if you have discontinued use. Or at the very least I'd call your doctor's office to report what you are experiencing. Once you tell them, they might advise you to do the same thing, or they might say that discontinuing use should result in your reaction subsiding within several days. It is also a possibility that they will want you to take Benadryl or something similar to help the reaction subside more quickly.
That's intense, and I'm sorry to hear that your body is reacting so strongly to this drug. Good luck and please reply and keep us all posted with what happens!

I've been getting fevers & chills, sleeping tons of hours/tiredness, nausea, vomiting, dizzy, weakness, no appetite, red rash on my skin. This morning my upper eye lids look puffy. I'm going to discontinue use, but I'm out of town right now and won't be back to see the doc for 2 more days. Any idea when the side effects will abate? And how serious is my problem since I have so many of the side effects?

Hi Erin - Vomiting is indeed a possible side effect of this medication. I would let your doctor know to see if you can be prescribed an alternative.

Hi Megan, it sounds like you're experiencing one of the more common side effects. I would suggest letting the doctor know and perhaps there is an alternative medication they could prescribe you?

Brandi, I'd let your doctor know about the side effects which you are reporting. Difficulty breathing is listed as one of the less common and more serious side effects, and it sounds like you are experiencing this on a minor scale. Regardless, if the wet cough worsens and you still can't breathe out of your nose I don't think you'll be very happy. I hope this helps, and wish you the best !

uhh i'm pretty sure 2 twice a day with 800 mg is too much! on my bottle it says take one tablet twice daily for 10 days i'd advise you to do so or just check with your doctor.
i'm suffering from the worst headache and it kept me from sleeping all night, advil took the edge off but it's still lingering. i have no idea what it is, maybe this medicine but..not suuure..
