Yes I have felt that also!! It is a common side effect of many
medications- my son who has tried so many meds had this side effect
from most he tried! I had that reaction to Cipro also and KEFLEX is
another one! My doc said there are certain meds that can bring this on
was not specitic about which ones but also said you could feel an
increase in anxiety and a speeding feeling which I recently had with KEFLEX!
I will not take that again!! We all react differently to the meds we take
I realize that now!! What is a miracle for one person is not for another!!!
So we try and find the one for us------------- this just adds to our stress--

Anyone can have any sort of side effect with any med. That being said, what you describe as a breathing difficulty is much like a common symptom of anxiety. Since I have alot of problems taking ANY med because I fear them, I have experienced this problem with all sorts of meds. I have learned to cope by relaxing & focusing on the belly breathing. In a couple of days, I get my mind to accept the fact that I am safe & the med is helping me & it is

You know, I think in many cases the breathing difficulties are anxiety based, definitely.
