| 1 | Travelers diarrhea | Severe gastrointestinal issues - bloating, diarrhea, burning in stomach, pounding heart, horrible anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, overall feeling of flu like symptoms. | I took 1000 mg in one dose with food, as recommended. I felt terrible the next day, with all of the symptoms described above. It has been 2 weeks, and the symptoms are beginning to decrease, but I am still not feeling well. I would never take this medication again. I think it wiped out my entire digestive tract, and I take probiotics. Nor sure what it did to my central nervous system, but I have never experienced anxiety like this. Still dealing with some anxiety and anorexia, but it is improving. Take this medication at your own risk. It should be taken off the market! | F | 65 | 1 days 1000 mg 1X day | 5/14/2017 | 1 | Sinusitis | Bad diarrhea, thought I was gonna die on the toilet y'all. Pulling a mf Elvis n shit. I have COMPLETELY lost my sense of smell and taste. You'll feel light-headed immediately after taking this cesspool of a medicine, and you'll get bad headaches. You'll genuinely feel like crap. That's my experience. And NONE of it is worth it. This shit does NOT help whatsoever, but Mucinex helped the fuck outta me when I took it. That's good shit right there. Okay so y'all hear me out, if your mfing doctor prescribes you zepack, you ain't even be polite. You uppercut da bish and tell em to go fuck they selves and walk THE F**K outta there cuz they ain't no good doctor. Dat bitch want you to suffer. | NEVER TAKE IT!!!! As I write this I am ON THE TOILET SHOOTING FIRE OUT MY ASS!!!!! | F | 17 | 5 days 250mg 1X day | 6/25/2017 | 1 | Ear infection | Extreme fatigue/weakness/light headed with exertion/ hearing loss | Ear infection cleared but hearing loss was severe and gradually got better after 6 weeks - extreme fatigue lasted about 10 days | F | 69 | 5 days 250 mg | 8/30/2017 | 1 | Ear infection | Extreme dizziness, headache and diarrhea. After getting over the flu I went to the dr with what felt like a terrible hangover. I was dizzy and felt unwell all together. He prescribed the z pack because my ears were exremenly fluid filled. I already suffer from anxiety and at the time wasn't thinking about anything but getting rid of the head pressure. I came home and took the double dose and within hours I was extremely dizzy, light sensitive and had diarrhea. Chalked that episode up to the double dose so I took the next dose the next day. Same exact effect. Never ever again will I take this medication. I feel worse now than I did when I had the flu. My anxiety is out of the roof and I'm still dizzy and foggy feeling! | F | 39 | 2 days | 3/31/2017 | 1 | Bronchitis | Severe abdominal pain - I only took meds 2 days and 2 days later I am still in awful pain. I had taken this before but not for probably 2 years. I have never had this bad of symptoms. I don't want to go to ER. . . | F | 62 | 2 days 1X day | 4/2/2017 | 1 | Strep Throat/Mono | Sever Headache, redding of skin especially on the face and ears, also skin feels like its burning. | F | 40 | 6 days 500 | 4/6/2017 | 1 | For sinus infection | Heart palpitations high blood pressure and heart rate severe anxiety and hallucinations thought I was losing my mind couldn't eat as much as I wanted too crying spells slight depression. I couldn't take care of my little girl it was horrible these side effects lasted six months before I'm back to normal will never take again can't function normal life | Side effects may last a long time but you will get back to normal eventually but definitely scariest thing I've ever experienced never will take this again never! | F | 29 | 5 days 150 mg | 4/11/2017 | 1 | Slight congestion and cough | Heart palpitations (like how I feel when I'm about to take off on plane ride or rollercoaster), anxiety, slight diarrhea | Dr prescribed z pack after I had a congestion and cough for almost two weeks. It wasn't getting worse but wasn't getting better. I took the first days dose, 2 of the 250mg pills. A few hours later I had to use the bathroom but I was driving on the road. Almost pooped my pants. And then my heart felt like when you're about to drop from a high roller coaster ride. All night. And into the next day. Trying to just manage my stress and anxiety so I don't make my heart worse. Didn't take the second dose and will stop taking it and won't ever take it again. I'd rather cough for a month than feel like my heart is gonna drop at any time. I read the warnings on the leaflet it comes with and thought maybe I had an unknown heart problem that I was reacting this way to the antibiotic and am sure to die from it. Don't ever wanna take this again. I wanna flush this out of my system already (the two pills I took on the first day will be in my body for 17 days, wth). Nope never again! | F | 26 | 5 days 250mg | 4/13/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | After taking this I became very nauseous, no energy & developed tinnitus. It has been a month and I still fell very nauseous and stay in bed most of the day. I also became very constipated. Started taking probiotics, yogurt, sauerkraut & any other foods I have read about that might help. Some mornings I think I am feeling better and get up and start doing something, but then have to go back to bed because I feel bad again. This is very depressing & I can't work & have barely left the house. If I do, it's to go to the doctor, the pharmacy or race to the grocery. I eat, but nothing sounds or tastes good. I will never take this again & will be very cautious taking any antibiotics from now on. DO NOT TAKE THESE PILLS! | F | 66 | 5 days 200 | 9/30/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe nausea, fatigue, weakness, constipation, tinnitus, foggy brain | I didn't develop any symptoms until after taking all the pills. First day I felt a little lightheaded & dizzy. Two days later it hit me like a ton of bricks. So nauseous I thought I was going to vomit.I broke out in a sweat, like a bucket of water had been poured on me. Felt very weak & stayed in bed all day. Since then, I have pretty much been in bed for a month. Severe nausea, constipation, tinnitus, and don't sleep well. I force myself to eat, but nothing tastes good. Am getting very depressed because don't know how long this is going to last. Started taking probiotics & eating foods that help with getting the many different good bacterias back into your body like yogurt, sauerkraut, etc. Then there are the prebiotics you should eat, to feed the probiotics. I'm becoming an expect on this, because what else am I going to do while lying in bed. Don't EVER take this medication & it should be taken off of the market! After reading a lot of the horror stories of other people, have no idea how much longer I will have these terrible symptoms. Have never felt so bad in my life!!! | F | 66 | 0 days | 10/1/2017 | 1 | Bronchitis | This drug ruined my life. That was back in 2008. It wasn't until 2010 that I was able to get some sort of relief from the terrible effects of this drug. It caused anxiety, but in the beginning, it was a feeling of Doom and Gloom that I couldn't explain. The anxiety was crippling. I was on so much klonopin, Zyprexa, you name it, I was on it... It wasn't until I did amino acid therapy that this went away. I did not believe in amino acid therapy at the time, but my parents were so adamant on me trying it, and it works despite my beliefs! It really does work! Look in your area for a homeopath that uses amino acids as opposed to medication. I'm telling you, you will not be disappointed. I couldn't believe it worked for me. This drug truly took everything away from me. I couldn't go into grad school, nor could I hold down a job. It was awful. Amino acids were the light at the end of the tunnel. If you need to get in touch with me, please email me. Good luck to all of you! | This is the devil's drug, and it ruins lives. For an antibiotic to do all of this, it must be evil. I can't believe how crippling the anxiety was. I couldn't believe that I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and I would heave on food, or if pepper was cooking, Etc. Horrible. | F | 38 | 5 days | 2/24/2018 | 1 | Sinus infection | Extreme fatigue, weakness, dulled appetite, dulled taste, dizziness. | Zithromax makes me want to sleep about 16 hours a day, and my entire body feels week and heavy. This is not good for my ability to function. I have been eating active culture yogurt to provide a probiotic, but it's not helping. Also, the zithromax has not helped my sinus infection. | F | 38 | 10 days 30 1X day | 3/12/2018 | 1 | Bronchitis | Shortness of Breath, Severe Anxiety, Chest Tightness, Weakness in Arms and Legs. | I was prescribed the 5 day Z-Pack and had to stop after day 4. 5 days later and still having all the side effects. | F | 45 | 0 days 250 | 3/26/2018 | 1 | Bronchitis | Dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach pain, headache, | if I knew what is in front of me before I took this horrible pills I would never do it ! Never again, I should of ask for Amoxicillin if I only knew how my body will react to it. You are not alone ! Take care! | F | 43 | 5 days 250 1X day | 10/12/2020 | 1 | flu | Please dont take this drug.This is pure evil.Im in such a dark place and its been 3 weeks since i finished the last dose.This drug puts me in a deep depression i dont know if im going to be the same anymore.

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 | Horrible dizziness, lack of appetite, nausea, yellow stools, stomach pains, anxiety and depression. | Never again.
