Have been taking 400mg of Ketek for 2 1/2 weeks. Had to cut back from 800mg. Still having trouble with headaches and my emotions are out of proportion. Now it is time to add Omnicef. Anyone have problems with this combo? Don't feel I can take too many more constant, severe headaches. They are just beginning to get a little better.

Thanks

The omnicef never caused me any problems (except that it's another abx that's hard on the liver), but it did take a month to kick in. Have faith!
