Took my first 500 mg dose two days ago, and have noticed that my arms and legs feel weak since then. This is listed as a possible side affect and it is reccomended that I stop taking the medication and see a doctor. I have not taken my third dose and plan to visit the ER tomorrow morning. Are feelings of slight weakness/lightness in limbs normal when taking the antibiotic?
