Yes I have, I am allergic to many antibiotics/medicines (7 and counting) and each one has a different effect (and everyone's allergic reaction would be different).

Some of the side effects were hives and fever to as severe as breathing problems and shaking. Each time a follow up doctor appointment or a trip to the ER was in order depending on the severity. In all cases I was told to stop taking the medicines.

Best bet is to contact your doctor to be sure what you are experiencing is normal or not. Good luck.

definately check with your doc/nurse if you have any concerns. also i think webMD has a good medication looker-upper
