| 1 | sinus infection | The pain my stomach is unbearable, I have chest discomfort, severe anxiety, unable to produce tears. I want to cry in bed all day I had to call out of work because of this. I'm on my third day and I don't think I could take another pill I called my doctor for an alternative | F | 24 | 3 days | 8/20/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | After only one pill in 2004, I was on the floor in the bathroom within 2 hours. I was in and out of consciousness and was sick from both ends. I passed out at some point and woke up still on the floor in the early morning hours. But my midsection was numb, my legs could not hold up my body. I got in the shower and could not feel my top layer of skin. And still I can not walk so good. I have numbness in my stomach, pelvic, and legs. I have never been the same. | Because this drug damaged me permanently I would stay away from it. I have been seeing neurologist since this has happened and no one has an answer as to why this happened. It ruined my life! | F | 50 | 1 days 3X day | 8/4/2015 | 5 | H pylori | Just feeling dehydrated. .and upper abdominal pain also bad taste in my mouth | Is very effective | F | 43 | 2 days 500mg | 7/12/2015 | 1 | sinusitis | Doctor put me on this as cannot tolerate penicillin.Side effects started today.Severely bad tempered,dizzy,headaches and excessive wind not to mention diarrhoea.Last one I took was this morning and am not taking anymore.I have to return to work tomorrow and cannot go feeling like this.I'll call GP tomorrow I'd rather put up with sinus pain !!!!! | The side effects I experienced with penicillin didn't even compare. | F | 49 | 3 days 500mg | 7/12/2015 | 5 | Ear infection, slight pneumonia | Horrible metal mouth taste, frequent bowel movements | It's worth suffering through the side effects. Works quickly every time! | F | 35 | 9 days 500 | 7/3/2015 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | Started using Levaquin for 3 days. Had muscle aches. Dr switched to Biaxin 500 msg. On for 2 days. Resulting in headaches, congestion in chest and back. Levaquin was helping, but bc of muscle aches had to get off it. Very frustrating situation. Guess have to see Dr and see alliterative. | Would not take this med again! | M | 69 | 2 days 500 | 6/24/2015 | 3 | 1X day | 6/18/2015 | 4 | Bronchitis | Excessive thirst, mouth felt dry with a salty/sulfa drug like taste , acid reflux, gas, stomach pain after eating which is when pill is taken | Dr told me it was very strong and I was completely aware of the drug the entire time I was on it. I have 2 more tablets and then I'm done ! meanwhile I still have my phlegm producing cough only not as bad as before the Rx. I will try to make sure dr does not prescribe again bcs I didn't like it. Give me a z-pak any day ! | F | 56 | 10 days 500 2X day | 6/13/2015 | 1 | sinus infection | Shakes, wobbly legs, severe anxiety, very dizzy, constipation | Never again! | F | 58 | 2 days 250mg 2X day | 6/12/2015 | 4 | Bronchitis | Stomach pain, indigestion. | While biaxin wreaked havoc on my digestive system, it really cleared up my bronchitis. Being able to breathe properly again was worth all of the side effects. | F | 15 | 7 days 1000mg | 6/7/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe depression and anxiety. Loss of appetite and nausea. Allergic to penicillin so doc prescribed this instead of amoxicillin. Only on day three and don't think I will make it the full ten days. | F | 44 | 10 days | 5/14/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection and lung infection | Shaking, fainting, nausea, diarrhoea, terrible abdominal pain, headache, weakness in legs, sweating hands and feet, feeling spaced out, tinnitus | Can feel improvements in my sinus infection since taking the drug but can't tolerate the side effects any longer, have left me unable to get out of bed, will go to the doctor to try and get an alternative. It's a shame cause the pills work but it's not worth the pain of the side effects | F | 18 | 4 days 2x500mg | 5/14/2015 | 1 | Possible walking pneumonia | Insomnia/ numbness in legs/ heart racing not controllable/ anxiety/ random crying spells/ vivid dreams | Emotional mess, felt like I was floating. A literal out of body experience. Heart palpitations made me think there was something crazy going on. Felt so down and my usual self is optimistic and energetic. Made me feel very out of character and weird. NEVER AGAIN. I am really angry that such a medication even exists! Was unable to tolerate it. Had to stop after 3 days | F | 28 | 3 days 1000 a day | 5/7/2015 | 1 | pneumonia | Fast heart rate, chest pain, abd pain, anxiety. | F | 38 | 7 days 1000mg | 4/25/2015 | 1 | Strep throat | Fast heart rate, chest discomfort, crying all the time, no appetite, diarrhea, no energy, anxiety, involuntary leg jerks.… | Never take this! I actually went to the emergency room and they just gave me an iv and hooked me up to an ECG and sent me home. Had same symptoms each time I took the medication. I stopped and went back to my dr office to change. I don't know why this is still prescribed! | F | 34 | 3 days 250 | 4/6/2015 | 1 | Middle Ear Infection | initially just a bad taste in my mouth that sent me rushing to the bathroom to brush my teeth several times throughout the day. Then an incredible thirst that wouldn't go away. Finally it's made me very emotional (I am prescribed citalopram for depression) I cried all afternoon and felt hopeless. It's my 3rd day taking this medication and I've stopped it due to the side effects. Hoping GP will replace with amoxicillin. I will never go on this medication again. I've never had a problem with antibiotics before and my ear infection hasn't changed one bit! | do not use this medication if you suffer with low mood or depression | F | 32 | 7 days 500mg | 3/29/2015 | 2 | Sinus/ear infection | Horrible taste in mouth, mild diarrhea | I took this a few days, but I couldn't even choke down any food to be able to take the pill with because of the really bad metallic taste. Every time I coughed up phlegm it would taste that way too and gag me. | F | 35 | 3 days 2X day | 3/5/2015 | 1 | H.Pylori | I had to stop taking this after 2-3 doses.. Knew something was wrong with the medication as i am not an emotional personal at all but just couldn't stop crying!! Had real bad nightmares and felt like i was in a different world and nobody could understand this.. Felt dehydrated constantly and the taste in my mouth turned me off food completely.. The side effects of this drug are ten times worse the the actual reason of going on them.. Do not recommend at all.. Tired constant, feeling down, hot one minute then cold sweats, shaky legs and blocked nose, achy neck!! Seriously ill from this medication :( | F | 26 | 5 days 30mg | 3/4/2015 | 4 | Infection caused by cat bite/CSF | Dr had me taking it twice daily for ten days. I noticed a lot of diarrhea, especially after first morning dose. Stomach pain if I didn't take with food, and a lower sex drive, not to mention a very strong sense of heat and raised blood pressure during sex that I'd never experienced before. At first I was taking it with Levaquin, but finished the Levaquin before the Biaxin. It happens to be one of the strongest antibiotics on the market,so I can't complain bc it has kept me from having to have surgery to remove the infection. | F | 30 | 10 days 500 MG | 2/7/2015 | 1 | Throat infection | mild diarrhoea for 2 weeks , discolouration of the tongue, changed taste, loss of appetite, depression (tearfulness), heart palpitations, feeling weak and generally unwell. | I was prescribed Clarithromycin for a throat infection. The worst was feeling generally unwell and the prolonged diarrhoea. I went to the doctor for a check up and and he said it is a very strong medicine and the side effects would pass away and I should drink Yakult probiotic drinks. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/6/2015 |
