| 3 | Upper respiratory infection | It has caused a nervous stomach, and not sure, but have been having anxiety. I took my last dose 2 days ago and I will never take this again. | F | 70 | 5 days 250 | 2/16/2017 | 1 | Upper respiratory Infection | Horrible anxiety and nervous stomach. I feel like I'm loosing my mind. I cry, no appetite.

I could not breathe. After 4 days, I am much improved. Additionally, for the past 46 years I have had a hospital acquired skin infection (from the hand sanitizer in the pediatric ICU) that appeared to be untreatable--it is almost clear. Makes me wonder why no one ever prescribed this drug for me before. I am very thankful for the Zpak. | F | 76 | 4 days | 1/15/2017 | 1 | Prolonged inus confestion and cough | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. I felt excruciating abdominal pains, severe diarhhea, insomnia, intense migraines, severe joint stiffness all within a few hrs of taking this absolutely worthless drug. I only took the first two pills and quit taking it. Its NOT worth it at all!!!! | M | 29 | 1 days 500 | 12/31/2016 | 1 | Tooth surgery | This drug is terrifying and shouldn't be prescribed . Severe flatluence(gas) and diarrhea, trembling, night sweats, exhausted, no energy, chills, no apetite etc . A whole list of symptoms that would take forever to list. If you want to put your health in jeopardy than take this other than that .. DONT !! | Terrible . Take this off the market | F | 20 | 1 days | 12/11/2016 | 1 | Possible bronchitis | Horrible anxiety attacks, dull headaches, excruciating stomach pains, heart palpitations, black stool, felling out of it, eye sensitivity, hypochondria, loss of appetite, dizziness, night sweats, can't focus and loads of others. | NEVER TAKING THIS DRUG AGAIN!! Went to urgent care for shortness of breath and a slight cough. They prescribed me the z pack but after looking at my X-rays said my lungs and heart was normal. I decided to take it anyway just in case it might've been there. Worst mistake I've ever made. It's been a week now since my last pill and I'm still having side effects. Can't wait to feel normal again. Glad I ran across this site, thought I was loosing my mind. You're gonna feel like everything in the world is wrong with you but it's just the meds. | F | 34 | 5 days | 10/10/2016 | 1 | THROAT INFECCTION | INSOMNIA, ANXIETY, PANIC ATTACKS, TREMORS, DEPRESSION, ANOREXIA, METAL TASTE.,ETC. | THE WORSE! IM TAKING XANAX, AND SEE A PSYQ. DOCTOR BECAUSE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS. BEFORE I HAVE SAME SIDE EFFECTS WITH CIPRO, NOW THIS ONE. I TOOK THIS IN JULY 19, 20016. UNTIL NOW I HAVE THOSE HORRIBLE EFFECTS. PLEASE EMAIL ME [email protected] if you want. How long this horrible side effects will last? anybody have any idea? Im taking florastore and magnesium, I hope I get better soon. PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS POISON IF YOU HAVE ALLERGY TO CIPRO OR HAVE ANXIETY BEFORE!!!!! | F | 44 | 5 days 250 1X day | 9/23/2016 | 3 | 1 days | 9/17/2016 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | Upset stomach, nausea, dizzy spells, severe heartburn even at night despite going to be 3 hours after a light meal (on all 5 days), weakness and mid to upper level back pain. | Doctors say that despite the side effects the long term benefit is that the bacteria is eradicated from your system - what they don't tell you is that it practically kills the healthy cells that remain - for them to regenerate is a painful process. I strongly recommend taking something different. | M | 32 | 5 days 250 MG | 9/14/2016 | 1 | Strep | I had the same exact side effects I thought I was completely losing my mind and going insane by the fourth day of taking this my thoughts and my body reactions are starting to level out again since I stopped taking it I will never take this again | 46 | 1 days | 9/9/2016 | 1 | Bronchitis and sinus infection | I took this medicine with pseudoephedrine. Bad idea.about the fourth day taking both medicines I developed severe anxiety to the point I thought I was dying. Heart rate went up jitter in my chest felt sureal felt impending doom had fear of everything even of weather it was horrible thought I was losing my mind. And I already have existing anxiety so it was 100 times worse but every second of everyday for two months straight! This was on June 17 I took it and now it's august and at times I still can't handle a little stress but has gotten better this drug is evil stays in the tissues too long and the liver. My bilibrium was elevated and never had previous problems before also thyroid levels a little elevated too probably because of too much cortisol in my system from this drug with the panic attacks ugh I was fine and normal before my whole summer was ruined I felt like a crazy person went to many doctors and they said it was not antibiotics but yes it was I had a bad reaction like most people here and funny everyone has same side effects as me so this is a bad drug never ever would take again as long as I live!!! | Poisonous drug will mess up your whole body system. | F | 29 | 5 days 250 mg | 8/25/2016 | 3 | STD | Nausea, Stomach Pains, drowsiness and definitely a lot of diarrhea. And one panic attack | Everyones body is different, I noticed women have it worst off from this medicine and idk why. But for me I took this around 2pm today after eating Popeyes and 15-20 minutes later I felt like I got the stomach bug with severe stomach pains and nausea, running to the toilet to go number 2. After that I had a panic attack because I wasn't expecting this feeling. However as the day has been going on I continue to get a bit of sour stomach and nausea before each episode of needing to go to the bathroom. I feel like eating before is a must and drink water or it would have been worse!! It's 5:23 pm and things seem to be settling with very minor stomach pains here and there. I hate the doctors and medicine in general, they'll give you anything to charge your insurance, there's better alternatives then this "fu*k you now you feel sick as hell" Zithromax pill. As long as this works I'll be happy but never again. Lesson learned. | M | 20 | 1 days 1000MG | 8/5/2016 | 1 | STD | Stomach pains, diarrhea, anxiety, lost of appetite. | The worst diarrhea of my life and with no appetite lost a lot of weight. Won't take this crap ever again. | M | 34 | 1 days 1000mg | 7/16/2016 | 1 | Bronchitis | Severe stomach pains, anxiety, anger, depression, insomnia, diarrhea, massive headache, vomiting | I just started this today not even 24 hrs ago and I'm have many side effects. I took this antibiotic before and it was all fine but now i can barely stay out of the bathroom because of constant throwing up/diarrhea. And when I'm talking to someone I seem to snap out of nothing! I don't have an history with anxiety or depression but I am very sure I had a panic attack and I couldn't slip crying and feeling just awful. I felt better without this drug. Don't take it. It has far to many side effects that happen way to often | F | 17 | 1 days | 7/14/2016 | 1 | Some sort of bacterial infection | I took two pills the first day, one pill the second day as directed. After about 30 hours of taking pills 1&2, the side effects started. Right ear plugged up, vertigo began. within 4-6 hours, panic, sweats, vomiting. All bad. I did not take the day 3 dose. I went to the doctor instead. Got a different antibiotic. It's been approximately 6 days since my first dose and I'm still not right. Fatigue is harsh, still a wee bit disoriented. This drug can't get out of my system fast enough. The side effects seemed to be waning yesterday to the point i declared myself nearly 100%, but last night i felt like i had a vertigo/insomnia relapse. Mild, but still kept me up for hours. | take at your own risk. | M | 42 | 2 days 500mg 1X day | 6/16/2016 | 1 | Bronchitis | First, you feel a little "off" with some weird depression. It feels like doom and gloom. Then you can't eat a thing. Then you develop SEVERE anxiety and panic attacks (heart palpitations, nausea, chest pressure, etc) for no apparent reason. This is how this drug affected me. I was dry heaving all the time. If there was pepper cooking, I would feel it in my throat and heave. I would vomit from the panic and then panic because I'm vomiting. I had a great job--a math teacher. I took this drug for bronchitis (which ended up being viral) all because my mom wanted me to. She was worried that it would get worse. And I took this evil drug. I couldn't work. I was teaching using post it notes. It was insane. After stopping this drug, the symptoms of anxiety got worse. Sometimes I felt like I couldn't breathe. I totally isolated myself because even TALKING would make me heave if I breathed funny. For an entire year, I barely spoke. All I did was read and play jigsaw puzzles while watchi | Some people just need time (a LOT of time) and their symptoms will subside. I wasn't that lucky. I try to post this on here from time to time (although it's been a few years at this point), but someone emailed me about this and I decided to post again, PLEASE email me if you have any questions. There is hope. You are not alone. You can get through this. Good luck to all of you. | F | 36 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 6/12/2016 | 1 | Congestion nasal and cough | Even if taking prednisone, never had some bad taste onyx mouth like that to metal!! | F | 56 | 3 days | 5/26/2016 | 1 | Strep/pneumonia | Blurred vision, severe diarrhea, pounding rapid heart, headache that lasted the whole time, itchy vagina, nausea, dizzyness. Worst experience with this medicine. I know not everyone can take it and I'm one of them !! Dr ended up putting me on augmentin 875mg twice a day and it works like a charm! | Not for everyone. Don' work for 1 in 5 people | F | 25 | 5 days 250 | 5/25/2016 | 1 | Respiratory infection | Headache, heart racing, skin rash, itching, anxiety, not feeling like myself, sore joints and muscles, stiff neck and shoulder pain, severe acid reflux, horrible anxiety, swollen lymph nodes in neck, insomnia you name it I had it | I took the 1000mg in one dose, after the 4th day I felt like my throat was closing. I began to itch all over my body. I had a migraine that wouldn't go away even with sleep. I went to the ER, Doctor told me to take benadryl, because I was experiencing an allergic reaction. A week after that I was still experiencing sore joints and back pain, acid reflux so I went back to the hospital, Doctor ran test said I was dehydrated and said I had an uti. They gave me fluids and prescribed bactrim, however I was scared to take the medication that was prescribed because of what I was experiencing. Bought probiotics for acid reflux and the belching subsided. I will never take this drug again | F | 24 | 5 days 1g | 5/24/2016 |
