Can Taking Cefixime For Typhoid Result In Severe Weakness?

I was diagnosed with typhoid on 31st oct 2013, took medicine as prescribed by doc (cefixime) for around 10 days, but neglected further as I felt better. I am feeling weak from last 2-3 days. Is it due to irregular medication? I have not yet visited the doc and have taken no vaccination.
