I have been getting headaches and last night I had blurred vision for about 5 minutes. I had just taken cephalexin and Tylenol. Could this be a side effect/

I have been on Cephalexin for 7 days. I am getting headaches that don't go away after taking Tylenol (I took 4 Tylenol this morning within 2 hours because headache was so bad and Tylenol did not help) and I am beyond tired- I am a normally very high energy person and for the past 2 days I literally can not keep my eyes open. Today at 12 noon I had to give in and take a nap (which I never do!) and woke up 4 hours later. Upon waking I could go back to sleep and sleep 12 more hours. I am considering stopping this med. I am taking it for a minor surgery that I had last week but I am exhausted!

I was taking 500mg three times a day. After 1 week I developed severe joint pain and swelling in my fingers. I got an itchy rash on the bridge of my nose and over my eyes and inside my nose. The joint pain continued to my knees and toes. I have been off of the medication 3 weeks and I am just starting to feel a little normal. a different doctor put me on 800 mg of Ibupropen 3 times a day and after reading up on the side effects of Cephalexin I began taking Benadryl which has helped a lot.

I am on 500mg for strept. throat. Since being on Cephalexin, I have had almost migraine like headaches including nausea. Bright light is very irritating and a few times I have felt as though I might pass out.

500 mg, 4/day. Unlike most of the posts, I have not had loose bowels. However, I am terribly woozy, almost to the point where I'm afraid to drive. I have little to no energy and headaches, but I have just caught a cold so I'm sure that is a factor. I was prescribed this for a cyst in my armpit.

ive been feeling really tired and headaches are very frequent. i keep feeling really hot no matter where i am, but the whole loose bowels thing is getting on my nerves. its very hard to work when having to be in the toilet 11 times a day.

i reccomend not taking any medicine for the loose bowels though, because i felt much worse witht he headaches and dizzyness afterwards.

Oh I have been having headaches too, only been on the Cephalexain 2 days, I get a very very upset nauseaous stomach feeling like I need to vomit, go from being comfortable to feeling very very flushed and woozy, found laying down and sleeping is the only thing that makes these feelings go away, of course I am on a 10-day course and I dont think my boss will like me laying down and sleeping! This sucks!

I've been having headaches and pains in my lower back and feel real hot on the inside. I really don't know if this is coming from the medicine or not.

I have been taking Cephalexin for almost a week. I had sinus surgery. The headaches were the worst. Now 5 days later I can hardly swallor water. Had the stints taken out of my nose yesterday and the dr. said I had "Thrush." My mouth is full of tiny white sores. Gave me difliucan a one pill kills all. One d;a;y later I am still in pain.
