Cimetidine 300mg Tablets: My Experience with Side Effects and What I've Learned

I have never had a side effect from Cimetidine, but I did have a bad experience with a different medication. It caused my breast size to increase. It was very alarming and even embarrassing.

For anyone having serious side effects, consider using the FDA's MedWatch system. It's super handy and it helps keep track of adverse effects. I filed a report when I had abnormal urine and the doctor didn't know what to do. They told me that it was likely not the drug, but I wasn't convinced. It's worth reporting if you feel like something's wrong. They might not get back to you, but it helps keep the records up to date.

I've been experiencing some confusion and mood changes since I started taking Cimetidine. It's like I'm not myself, but I can't explain it. Is this a known side effect? I don't want to complain to my doctor about something that might not be serious, but it's really bothering me. Has anyone had this happen to them?

I’ve had some weird side effects where I thought I was hallucinating, but doctors didn't know what to do. It only happened once at a high dose.

I think the worst side effect I had was that I couldn't think clearly. It was super hard to focus on work, and I felt like I was in a fog. What if I did have a bad reaction but didn't know it? I'm so worried now and don't know if I should stop the medication. The doctor won't talk to me, and their nurse is very unhelpful, but I don't want to quit the medication. I can't deal with an ulcer flare up.

You should really talk to your doctor and not just look up symptoms online. Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists have to go through medical school, they know more than online forums.

I'm lucky that the only side effect I've had is a lot of itching. I've just started taking Cimetidine, so I don't know if it's a side effect or something else. I can't figure out how to manage the itching, any tips? My doctor didn't know what to do.

It's weird, I think my mood swings have gotten better since I started Cimetidine. I hope it's not just a placebo effect, like my doctor suggested. Could mood swings be a side effect?

I had some really bad tummy issues with this medication. I can't wait to get off it.

I even asked my pharmacist about these side effects, but they didn't know much.
