| 1 | Possible Sinus Infection | Severe anxiety attack, sweats, chills, shaking, ER visit | STAY AWAY. I had to go to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. Turned out it was this terrible pill. Gave me a serious anxiety reaction that I could not control, my heart rate was above 130 and I couldn't get it down for thirty minutes at the ER. I don't suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. Happened about four hours after I took the Zithromax. | F | 33 | 1 days 1X day | 9/16/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection | Anxiety extreme nausea dizziness shakiness | This has always been my go to antibiotic but this time was different. I got a generic I never took before and by the fourth pill I knew I could not continue. | F | 36 | 5 days 250mg 1X day | 9/4/2020 | 1 | Pharyngitis | Insomnia, anxiety, stomach pain | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! IM 21 & its been 5 days since I finished my last dose I cant eat big without getting bloated with aches major insomia at night To take this you have to be a soldier. GUYS WRITE ME BACK IF YOU FEEL BETTER thank you | M | 21 | 5 days 500 1X day | 8/15/2020 | 3 | COVID - 19 | Anxiety, Panic Attack, Loss of Appetite | Azithromycin helped with my respiratory symptoms related to covid-19, however while taking this antibiotic I have experienced severe anxiety and panic attacks - I had palpitation, high blood pressure, sweating in my feet, and excessive worry. I almost went to ER a few times because of fear of heart attack and stroke while having these symptoms. My anxiety was controlled for 3 consecutive days after taking the last dose of Azithromycin but on the fourth night, I had another episode of panic attack which lasted for 4 hours. I am thankful for this site and to all who posted their review because it help me understand that the anxiety and panic attack that I am suffering from maybe related to Azithromycin since I was doing fine before I got sick. Prayers and support from my family - talking about my symptoms, help me manage my symptoms but the anxiety and panic attack is still overwhelming sometimes. I hope that we all get better soon and please e-mail me what works with your anxiety and panic attack. Thank you so much. | M | 45 | 5 days 1X day | 8/1/2020 | 3 | Throat infection | 2 hours after taking it, my tummy started rumbling and became very bloated. Unreal feeling as if I was high. 2nd day nausea and no appetite. Seems to have worked as a treatment but side effects are not pleasant. Luckily only did it for 3 days. | M | 42 | 3 days 500mg 1X day | 7/24/2020 | 5 | Tonsillitis; pre-surgery | A little loose stool. Otherwise no problems. | Usually start to feel better within 2 days, bounce back really fast. This time tonsils shrinking nicely, less scarlet, still white patches; and ears hurt, but just exhausted, not bouncing back. Oh well, getting older. Ultimately had to cancel surgery anyway. | F | 65 | 4 days 250mg | 6/15/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection/bronchitis/pneumoni | Heart palpitations (134 bpm) for 2 wks, extreme anxiety, Heart pain, acid reflux, depression, crying spells, muscle twitching, foggy and blurry vision. After 4 months I still have anxiety yet more mild then extreme. Did the side effect wear off?

Please someone tell me how long this drug will stay in my system because im still thinking i have some lufe treating disease. i have done lungs x ray bcs i thought i have lung cancer.after that i thought i have endocryne tumor. i did all the test came clear.

Its driving me crazy.Please if anybody here also sufer from pins and needless and where did they finay go away . Im desperate. | F | 34 | 3 days | 5/30/2020 | 5 | Major Sinus Infection | Feeling slightly hyper. | I had a very bad sinus infection for a month, with congestion, fatigue, and sweats. Within a day the medication took care of 50% of the symptoms. By the 3rd day I felt great. Yes, I felt a bit hyper but I take Klonopin for anxiety. No known GI issues. | F | 55 | 1 days 500 1X day | 5/27/2020 | 1 | Pharyngitis | Horrible Anxiety, Insomnia, Yellow watery diarrhea, complete loss of appetite, confusion, racing heart and heart palpitations, sores in mouth, extreme paranoia and hypochondia. | I was in and out of the ER 3 times two days after discontinuing this medication due to an allergic reaction/adverse affects from this drug. I also tested negative for COVID-19. It took 3 injections of Ativan for me to feel normal again. I was instructed to admit myself to the psychiatric ER due to the distress this medication put me through. Thankfully, I did not admit myself and I am starting to feel better 17 days after discontinuing this medication. The doctor should have told me to discontinue the medication after I told them I had trouble sleeping after taking it the second night and my throat was not improving. Unfortunately, I had taken the medication 4 days allowing it to slowly build in my system. The worst of the adverse effects will be felt midway through taking this medication due to the slow half life and reabsorption. Once I was switched to Augmentin my fever dropped and swelling in throat started to reduce. Avoid at all costs unless you are allergic to penicillin. | M | 31 | 5 days 250 1X day | 5/24/2020 | 1 | Dizziness dryness to throat barely can sleep it's been 12 days since I had my last dose and the I'm still having the symptoms I know it takes 15 days to get out of your system and I really hope that I feel back to my normal self after day 15 I don't recommend nobody to take this drug at all it's horrible I can't do my fully routine each day because I'm worried about the symptoms if anybody has took this drug and not having symptoms anymore please email me so I can know how many days it took for you | I'm still having the symptoms I know it takes 15 days to get out of your system and I really hope that I feel back to my normal self after day 15 | 34 | 5 days 250 | 5/14/2020 | 5 | Pneumonia | Anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia, accelerated heart rate, fatigue, chest flutters, and negative thoughts | PLEASE DO NOT USE!!! It's been eight days since my last dose and the side effects are still present. The anxiety and panic attacks are overwhelming. I am averaging about a solid 3 hours of sleep. I've taken magnesium and chamomile which allow me to get to sleep but it hits hard at night. I spend my day avoiding activities because of fear of an attack. How can this medication still be issued???? I hope this comes to an end soon because each day brings about more negative thoughts. | M | 55 | 3 days 100mg | 4/25/2020 | 1 | Walking pneumonia | (See my post below from 1/21/20)..continued but lessened anxiety, doom & gloom thoughts and dread. | Just wanted to follow up on my post from January 21st below. I would say for the most part my negative symptoms have subsided including the nausea, heart issues and loss of appetite. The psychological turmoil has lessened to a degree but does keep coming back on occasion. Again, this is all unprecedented for me. I have no history to mental illness personally nor in my family, but after this Zpack experience it feels like my brain has re-wired itself. I will go weeks at a time with no issue and then a weekend or several days where the dread and anxiety sneak back up on me. As others have mentioned, this could still all be related to my gut flora not being where it should be, but I have no idea. If anyone is still experiences this even months after their last dose, reach out to me. | M | 33 | 5 days 250 mg | 4/19/2020 | 1 | Double ear infections and sinus infection | Anxiety, panic attacks, hyperventilating, tingling and numbness and chills and etc | I have one more dose left and will deal with the side effects until they are out of my system. I will not be taking this antibiotic again. | F | 25 | 5 days 250 | 4/17/2020 | 1 | Respiratory infection | Loss of appetite, nausea, bloating, constipation and diarrhea, EXTREME PANIC AND ANXIETY attacks. Loss of sleep, fungal infection. | What a mess, I'll never take this again. A day after the first double dose I had a 2 hour long panic attack out of nowhere. 2 days after I started I lost my appetite and started the gastro issues that lasted a week. 12 days after last dose I still have uneasy stomach sometimes, insane anxiety all the time, can't sleep through the night no matter what I do. 5 days after last dose I got Oral thrush and am taking clotrimazole lozenges. I'm also now taking tums as needed, Xanax as needed, and Zoloft. The longer I have these issues the longer I have been off my Rheumatoid meds and I hurt. Just stay away from this nightmare drug! | F | 45 | 5 days | 4/5/2020 | 3 | Bronchitis | Anxiety, insomnia, jittery, dizziness, stomach cramps, chest pressure | I had the double dose on day 1 and within 30 minutes had intense stomach cramps. Now horrible anxiety, insomnia and jittery feeling. | F | 21 | 5 days 250 | 3/26/2020 | 1 | Otitis Media | Suicidal Thoughts, Anxiety, Depression, Mental Fog, Crying Spells, Joint pains, LOSS OF APPETITE, CONSTIPATION, YELLOW COLOURED STOOL, Nightmares | I took Azomax, Azithromycin 500 on Sat with food which gave me severe pain and heartburn which I thought is some ulcer. Took 250 on Sunday. Gave me joint pain which I attributed to being tired. Monday took 250 and it hurt my kidneys as if they've been blown by bomb. I had no sleep Sunday will Wednesday with continously thinking about ways of suicide. I had other symptoms too. But what bothered me most was lack of appetite and constipation Took ispaghol for constipation and got yellow coloured stool which continues to this day. Day 4 but getting better. What helped me quickly was a product Liv.52. My friend has used it for his alcohol related liver problems. It's hepatoprotective and removes toxins from liver. So I took it yesterday night and within 3 hours, my insomnia was gone, my mental fog was clear, I was hungry again in the morning. In fact improved everything except yellow coloured stool. Which is getting better. Has been a life saver for me. Yesterday night I went to bed with fogged mind depression and anxiety and today I'm eating, laughing, singing. My recovery has been a swift miracle seeing the long term effects on other writers here although my symptoms were much more severe. | 29 | 3 days 500then250 | 3/6/2020 | 1 | Upper Respiratory | Extreme anxiety, always sleeping, crazy dreams, depression, even after finishing about 7 -10 days ago. Makes you feel panic anxiety. Glad I am not the only one feeling this. Will NEVER TAKE AGAIN! | F | 58 | 4 days 500mg | 3/2/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection | Anxiety, paranoia, depression, blurred vision, stomach pain, weakness in arms, twitching, RLS, fatigue. Legs feel weak and twitchy. | Stay away from it! It’s been 13 days since taking this. I only did the double dose of 500mg and it was enough to stop me that night I woke up feeling awful. My recommendation is to look into amino acid therapy to replenish the nutrients destroyed/lost from this death pill. Google amino acid therapy on YouTube. It’ll help with the mental rehabilitation and also the physical. Magnesium is important so are the B vitamins.. and taking probiotics to rebuild that gut flora. I’m still feeling it the mental has calmed down a bit but the physical seems to have grown but it’s only been 13 days and it’s supposedly in us for about 15-17 | M | 33 | 2 days 500 | 2/27/2020 | 1 | Bronchitis | An hour after taking first dose had bad panic attack and dead legs feel very stressed and uncomfortable was in pretty relaxed good form all day till tablets taken . | F | 22 | 1 days | 1/28/2020 |
