Cimetidine 800mg Tablets: My Experience and Concerns about Side Effects
I've been taking Cimetidine 800mg Tablets for a few months now to manage my acid reflux, and while they've been effective, I've been a bit worried about the potential side effects. The list of possible reactions is extensive, and I've heard from a few people who've had some scary experiences. If you're taking this medication, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Have you encountered any side effects? If so, how did you deal with them? I've taken note of the severe side effects to watch out for and I am a little paranoid about developing any of the rare but more serious symptoms, like hallucinations or liver problems. The FDA also has a reporting system, which I think is a good idea if anyone finds themselves dealing with these issues.

I switched to a different medication after a few weeks because the side effects were too much for me. I got some weird mood swings and felt really agitated. It's a bummer because it did help with the acid reflux, but my mental health was more important.
I have the yellow skin and eyes and I'm getting really worried, is that a definite sign of liver problems? I've also felt really tired. What should I do?
I've heard that some of these side effects are more common in elderly people. Anyone else taking Cimetidine for an older family member? How have they handled it?
I had to laugh when I saw 'enlarged breasts' as a possible side effect. I mean, seriously? That's something you'd never expect. I'm glad I'm not on this medication haha.
I had a friend who took Cimetidine and ended up with a severe allergic reaction. They had to go to the ER and everything. It's scary stuff, so definitely keep an eye out for those symptoms.
I've had no side effects at all. Knock on wood! Just make sure to take it with food and don't drink alcohol while on it. I'm a doctor, that's just a tip. Good luck!
I had some confusion and hallucinations when I first started taking it. It was terrifying! I stopped taking it and went back to my regular doctor, who's now looking into it
I've been on Cimetidine for a while and haven't had any major issues, just a bit of dizziness sometimes. Nothing too bad, though. It's definitely helped with my heartburn.
I had no idea this drug could cause liver problems. That's scary. I'm going to keep a closer eye on my symptoms and talk to my doctor about it.
I didn't know about the hallucinations. I'm on this medication and have been having strange dreams, but nothing that extreme. I'm going to keep an eye on it and be sure to talk to my doctor about any further weird things.
