I have just finished a 1 week (2 tablets a day) course of cefalexin and its been horrid.

It cleared up my sore throat well but its not an antibiotic i would like to take again.

The whole lower half of my body aches and cramps all the time. Its like being in labour. I have a horrid taste in my mouth and yuck on my tongue which im guessing is thrush.

I feel really moody and low at the moment at well.

Its a really odd drug .

    I also am just taking a course of Cefalexin. I ache all over, yukky taste in my mouth, constant thirst, off my food, maybe not a bad thing. Also feel depressed & weepy!!!!!! I feel like stopping it but then I suppose the infection will come back. Catch 22 I suppose!!
