| 3 | Bronchitis | mild stomach pain, mild diarrhea, sweats | -had taken on 3 previous occasions with no side effects. Now they are popping up. Some difficulty controlling asthma in spite of the fact that this time the bronchitis was mild. This last problem is worse at night. During the day i feel fine. Probably will switch off Zithromax next time. DOn't want the side effects to worsen as it seems to be doing. The stomach pain and mild diarrhea were on day 1 only. Sweats have appeared on day 3. Still some mild symptoms of bronchitis which usually disappear after day 1-2. | M | 36 | 3 days | 6/1/2005 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Terrible stomach pains within first 2 1/2 hrs of taking. Currently on day 3. Some dizzyness and ringing in ears began after first dosage. Sinus infection appears to be gone though. | M | 27 | 3 days | 1/10/2005 | 3 | bronchitis | no side affects,this is 3rd time for bronchitis in 4 months.Other times biaxin was used.no side affect from that either. | hope this works.also using inhaler advair | M | 61 | 3 days | 2/4/2005 | 3 | Bronchitis | None that I can think of. | This is the 2nd time I have gone to the Dr with this case of bronchitis. The first time I was prescribed AMOXI/CLAV, Prednisone, and Atrovent inhaler. Didn't help much. 2nd time, I was prescribed the Zithro-3 pack, AMI-TEX LA, and Serevent Diskus inhaler. This is my 3rd day and the color of the pleghm is clearing up and I think I am getting better. I have been sick with a cold since December and Bronchitis since January. If this finally goes away and doesn't come back, then I will give Zithromax a 5. We shall see. | M | 3 days | 2/25/2005 | 3 | pneumonia | the runs, real bad, within an hour i'm on the shitter, then my ass just explodes. then im good for the rest of the day. also seem to be breaking out with the hives or something all around my neck and begining on my face kinda itchy too. about to go back to the doctor. | seem to work well for my actual sickness | M | 24 | 6 days | 2/22/2005 | 3 | Bronchial infection | Itchy hives over most of my body, swollen lips & chin | Have taken Zithro previously with no side effects and good results. This time, though my symptoms of infection are better, This horrible rash-like condition has made me cease taking the dosage after only taking 3 pills from the Z-pak. Hope to be seen by Dr. tomorrow and that this goes away quickly but am concerned after reading posts from others with similar experiences. Sounds like this can continue for some time. | M | 42 | 1 days | 3/25/2005 | 3 | respiratory infection | nervousness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, big pimple-like bumps on my back....... | 1 month later infecton is back | M | 36 | 3 days | 4/2/2005 | 3 | bronchitis | Occassional diarhea and abdominal pian | Could have been worse I guess | M | 26 | 5 days | 3/20/2009 | 3 | possible sinitus sore throat | tightness in muscles. ringing in ears. dry mouth. difficulty concentrating. spaced out | The first two days were fine. I took the double dose, then a single, then one more this morning (day 3). My sore throat and other symptoms appear to be gone. Decided to go to work but forget about it. I now feel totally spaced out, alert but unable to focus very well. Ringing in the ears and some muscle pain. Cannot work. Just sitting here, waiting for this bad trip to end. Doctor told me to stop taking it, since my other symptoms seem *okay* so that's what I'm doing. | M | 36 | 3 days | 5/28/2008 | 3 | strep | got rid of strep, got joint pain/swelling in lower body, going away but still there after two weeks. . . . | M | 30 | 5 days | 6/7/2008 | 3 | STD | Loss of sleep, terrible anxiety, restlessness, fatigue, shortness of breath, bodily weakness, mild fever and sore throat | 1 gram dosage for two days to clear up STD infection. Day number 3 and it feels like I have an awful flu. Anxiety and depression are remarkable. STD has cleared up, but a heavy price paid. | M | 30 | 2 days | 11/10/2008 | 3 | Upper Respiratory Infection | None noticed. | I took the 3-dose Z-pack 500mg each. Although I probably have a recurring URI issue, this medication seemed to help for the time being. | M | 44 | 3 days | 2/25/2009 | 3 | Urinary Tract Infection | I guess the intial infection is clearing up but I have been experiencing weird feelings of anxiety and nervousness. Moreover, when my heart rate increases I get a cold rush to my ears...? Hard to explain this one, but when I get a little stressed at work I get a cold feeling in my ears that scares me. I have never felt this before. Also, my co-worker made me laugh really hard at work yesterday, and that same feeling came over me. I won't take this stuff again. | M | 35 | 1 days | 10/12/2005 | 3 | Pneumonia | -Fatigue ..Some loss of hearing ...A dime size rash on my left bicept that was surprisingly quite painful. Dehydration was the worst! Very lucid dreams. Best sleep i've had in years. | Cleared up most of the fluid build-up in the lungs but made the fever come back with a vengeance. Those with problems dealing with panic attacks might want to ask for something else. Intake prescribed: 2 the first day. 1 for the next 4 days | M | 27 | 5 days | 10/19/2005 | 3 | Sinusitis/Pneumonia | None | A particualarly nasty infection, tries 14 days of Levofloxacin with no relief, now Zithromax with Amoxicillin, chest is feeling much better, sinuses still ache though, hopefully on the right track. | M | 31 | 4 days | 1/7/2006 | 3 | cough that went on for 2 weeks | initially felt better and slept without coughing then became nauseous/vomiting within 12 hours | decided to discontinue it as side effects weren't worth it - may have just been a virus; son felt better after discontinuing. dr prescribed it as a precaution because cough had gone on for so long. Also used Delsym 12 hour cough syrup which may have helped more than the zithromax. | M | 6 | 1 days 3.5 ml 1X day | 11/1/2012 | 3 | phomnia (amonia) | wierd feeling in my right side of uperchest area | M | 28 | 4 days | 12/19/2002 | 3 | to prevent flu symptoms worsening | high blood pressure, anxiety which may also have been casued by cough syrup (antihistimone and decongestant)and Sudafed. | in the past - it has worked well in preventing the progression of flu/cold symptoms i.e. ear ache, upper respitory congestion and coughing. | M | 58 | 5 days | 9/14/2002 | 3 | Bronchitis | dry mouth | Felt much better after the first dose. Bronchitis returned a week after the final dose. | M | 17 | 5 days | 8/26/2004 | 3 | tonsilitis | Symptoms cleared up withing 48 hrs of taking it. Loose stools began occuring around the time of last dosage. These continued on for about a month, the doctor put me on another antibiotic claiming that the zithromax damaged my intestinal lining and caused another infection, he must have been right because i began getting better after i began the second antibiotic. | M | 24 | 5 days | 10/24/2004 |
