| 1 | Sinus Infection | First two doses was horrible. I got shortness of breathe , Bad taste in my mouth, severe diarrhea and I felt completely insane. Unable to go to sleep . Cold feet and hands | Definitely would not recommend at all!!! | F | 23 | 5 days 250 MG | 5/15/2016 | 1 | sinus infection | COMPLETE LOSS OF SMELL, severely decreased sense of taste, stomach cramps, foggy/blurred vision | Less than an hour after taking first dose starting having severe abdominal cramps, the next day my sense of smell was COMPLETELY gone. It's been 4 days since first dose and no improvement in smell. Super scary thought that it may be permanent. | F | 32 | 3 days 250mg | 5/13/2016 | 5 | Bacterial throat/ear infection | None...perhaps a bit of gas | Take natural yogourt and acidophilus pills and you should be fine! | F | 62 | 5 days 250 mg X 6 1X day | 4/24/2016 | 3 | 1 days | 4/24/2016 | 5 | Uraplasma | Nausea and loose stools | I am 3 months and 2 weeks pregnant, and was prescribed a 1000mg dose of this medication. Had no problems other than some nausea and diareah | F | 23 | 1 days 1000mg | 4/23/2016 | 1 | Bronchitis | Severe headache, body aches, irritability, constipation, vomiting, dizziness, chest pain, neck pain. | I was recently put on this poison for bronchitis which didn't really help me but instead just cause bad side effects. After being on two doses, it caused me a lot of problems, problems that the doctor said don't usually occur after a few doses. I was told that it should be out of my body by now but it is not. I do not trust doctors words so much and I will never take antibiotics like this again. All it did was make me feel worse. Never take this drug. | F | 22 | 1 days 250 mg | 4/23/2016 | 1 | Bronchitis | I took this drug about eight years ago. After two pills I became very ill, I thought I had a very bad case of the flu. But no I wasn't that lucky... after 5 trips to the ER, I was sent to an allergist specialist. She new right away that I was having a sever allergic reaction to Z-pack. She also told me that it would take up to 3 months for it to be out of my system, because it also can be absorbed in your tissues.She was right I had to take steroids for three months, every time they tried to lower the dosage I would break out in hives again.... | Evil Evil drug.... | F | 57 | 2 days 1X day | 4/19/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | Lost 80% of sense of smell directly after using. It's been over 9 months and it never returned. Life won't be the same again wish I never took this. I went to ENT and she gave me a stroid spray but it helps very little. | M | 40 | 5 days | 4/17/2016 | 1 | Sinus cold | Loss /distorted sense of smell and taste | Don't take this drug | M | 55 | 5 days | 4/8/2016 | 1 | Sinusitis | THE WORST DRUG EVER!! I wish that I would have listened to my gut feeling and not taken this drug. After 1st dose, palpitations, chest pain, severe dizziness, overall bad feeling. Day 2, sweaty red palms/feet, chest/face got red and flushed and hot, terrible pain in the center of my back, rash on my arms and legs, ended up in the ER. Insomnia tonight, mind racing, severe anxiety, weird visual effects when I close my eyes! Like swirling or spinning....so awful AND it takes days after stopping for it to get out of your system! What is in this poison?? I would never, ever take this again! | Worst experience ever taking an antibiotic! Horrible side effects after just two days of taking this! | F | 45 | 2 days 250 mg | 4/3/2016 | 1 | bronchitis | Dizziness, chest pains,nasuea,vision problems,headaches fatigue, lack of concentration. | 5 days | 3/23/2016 | 3 | I got the flu | I had head aches as well as feeling off balance tired all the time and have like a shaky nervous feeling..although it has helped me with my flu it has created new symptoms.. | M | 33 | 4 days 250 mg | 3/19/2016 | 3 | Upper respiratory sore throat | Ulcers on gums and tongue.extreme bloating and gas cramps, strange after taste in mouth,nausea,chest pain that is still bothering me after 2 days off. It sped me up. I was sick and up cleaning bc of the med. Every side effect I experienced is on the rare list which just blows my mind. | I have read articles on this medicine and the potential for death by heart attack is scary. Especially since my chest has bothered me since I started it. I'm a healthy 40 yr old female but the fact that my chest bothered me is the reason I sought out info. I workout daily but something is wrong. My husband just finished same dose. He was sick too but worse and it did nothing. We just got back from Dr and he's now on doxycycline. I've never had so many side-effects from an antibiotic. I wouldn't take it again. Too miserable. | F | 40 | 5 days 250 mg | 3/18/2016 | 5 | Chronic Sinus Infection | None | I have suffered chronic sinus infections for years and this seems to be the first antibiotic that has ever really helped me to feel better. I have to agree that the negative comments left on this antibiotic seem to be more symptoms of an illness and not this antibiotic.. It seems to work great for me. | F | 35 | 10 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/15/2016 | 1 | sinus infection | Irregular heart beat,anxiety,headache,gas,bloating,always hungry,loss of taste and smell,sensitive skin,tingling in hands,depression ,burning sensation in my mouth just to name a few! | I finally stopped taking them after I took 4 | F | 53 | 4 days ??? 1X day | 3/12/2016 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Worst medical experience of my life | I was given Zithromax for a severe sinus infection. I am pregnant, and this was recommended to be best for pregnant women. I was prescribed to take 2, 250 MG pills on the first day, but at the advice of my pharmacist, only took one the first day. I took the first pill around 3 PM, after a late lunch. Picked up my son and drove home and felt completely fine. I sat down and realized i couldn't read the words on the TV, so i took out my phone and did the same, with the same results. The words were blurred and i had a sudden terrible headache behind my eyes .. i laid down for about 20 minutes thinking i was having a migraine (never had one before-but knew symptoms) .. i thought i was better so i stood up, only to realize that my hands were completely numb and my arms were tingling. After this my mouth/tongue/neck all became tingly and i couldn't get my words out! I was having what i thought was a stroke! My husband was completely freaked out and drove me to the ER, as i had never experienced anything like this before and i wasn't thinking it could be from a z-pak! Levels were fine, tests were ran and lots of money were spent .... all because of this medicine. No one in my family will ever be prescribed this drug again! I also suffer from mild anxiety, and like a lot of others have said, this is absolutely not a drug for people who already suffer from this ... my heart was beating so fast and i had never had a reaction like this before. BEWARE. | F | 27 | 1 days 250MG 1X day | 3/3/2016 | 1 | Mouth surgery | I was given this med about 10 years ago. I have had problems digesting gluten foods since. I look pregnant after eating breads, pasta, fried and worst if I drink wine. It was stating that bloating could be a side effect. Correct, a life long problem. | Maybe the z pack is why so many people have bloating issues. | F | 61 | 5 days ? | 3/3/2016 | 4 | Sinus infection | *skin sensitivity, dry skin/dry mouth, mild headache different from original sinus headache* I'm only on day 3, but my skin feels irritated and is easily chafed by clothing. | I'm on this antibiotic after suffering through two weeks of sinus infection and unresolved cough and fever. The skin sensitivity is very unlpeasant, but being sick was worse. I do have my energy back and brain fog went away. | F | 40 | 5 days 250mg | 2/26/2016 | 1 | pelvic imfamatory disease | Severe headache that won't go away and I was given the medication 3 days ago , horrible stomach pains , night sweats , rapid heart rate , feeling extremely sleepy and off balance and my skin won't stop itching , | This is the absolute worst medication I've ever had to take , my sickness wasn't even this bad , this medication is absolutely horrible , I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or anything ... | F | 33 | 1 days 1000 | 2/24/2016 | 1 | upper respiratory infection | Horrible. I have the worst diarrhea ever. Severe pain in kidney and liver. Stopped after first dose. Have anxiety scared to death this will kill me. Just horrible. | Do not take this poison. It could kill you | F | 43 | 1 days 250mg | 2/23/2016 |
