 3  Pneumonia Fatigue, some nausea, bad jitters/tremors, and some dizziness This medication certainly cleared up the infection, but I think I'd prefer a few extra days in a slower antibiotic than to deal with these side effects. F 33 1 days

 2  Bronchiolitis My son was administered one full dose of Zithromax (azithromycin) and promptly began vomiting as a rash appeared all over his body. The vomiting would occur after each dose and the rash would worsen. His ped advised this was an allergic reaction and the Zithromax was discontinued. M 2 1 days

 1  Sinusitis Very weak and anxious. Sweating and massive headaches. I was afraid I was going to pass out a few times because the weakness and trembling got so bad! Pain in abdomen and foul taste in mouth. By the third dose I was feeling horrible. Massive fatigue from this drug. I will never take it again. I took 750 mg and stopped taking it after the third dose. I just can't handle the crazy side effects. It is AWFUL! Steer clear of this poison! F 45 3 days

 1  inner ear (water) I had a hell of a time! A hour after the first dose I got extreme dizziness and abdominal pain. These symptoms subsided in the morning, me loving cruel and usual punishment,toke another pill that day! Big mistake....i puked my guts out and couldn't get out of bed. Walking was hazardous and I missed a week of work. I had feelings of deep sorrow, nervousness, no sleep and anger! The next day I didn't take the medicine! Not worth it!! I couldn't go to the ER because I literally couldn't sit up! Finally I toke Pepto Bismal and a Benadryl! I was able to so up in bed...next I was able to eat a few hours later. I'm still under the weather but, I see a bit of light by the end of tomorrow!PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! You will spend a lot of time trying to fix something that really isn't broken. Your pain could never be that bad!!! F 46 2 days

 1  sinus infection Overwhelming anxiety and depression, racing heart, short of breath, hot flashes and chills, nausea, loose stools, no appetite. Lost 3 pounds in 3 days. Shakey, feelings of dread. Endedup in the ER Worst 5 days of my life! Stopped the med 4 days ago and still miserable. Just a very marginal improvement. I took it before with no issues but NEVER again. F 56 3 days

 1  Cough, swollen lymph glands I took the first 500mg dose of Zithromax then followed with 250mg the next 4 days. On the third day my skin started getting a little itchy but continued taking because I saw no rash. The next week my symptoms hadn't gone away and my eyes starting yellowing. Went into the doctor and my liver enzymes were all too high. Doctors tested for everything and couldn't figure it out; I was sent to a liver specialist (after an ultrasound, CAT scan and countless blood tests) who determined I had drug-induced hepatitis from the zpack. It's almost 2 months later and my enzymes are still high. Wishing this would go away, I have extremely intense pruritus, constipation, jaundice, lost 15 pounds and severe fatigue Will not EVER take again F 19 5 days

 3  precautionary One mega-dose because my boyfriend has a uti that won't go away and they were worried that we might have some urethritis. I never felt sick and they didn't test me for ureaplasma or mycoplasma. I wish they had tested me before just prescribing this huge dose to a 107 pound woman. I already suffer from anxiety and my worst phobia is vomiting. So I take this drug and I feel like I'm going to throw up and I'm having panic attacks like I haven't had in years. I don't recommend this drug for people with clinical anxiety. I took the one mega-dose on a Sunday and still felt like throwing-up after supper on Tuesday. I'm relieved to read the posts here because it sounds like that is a normal side-effect and I'm not dying after all - lol. F 57 1 days

 1  Strep My 6 year old daughter was prescribed this medicine for strep throat since she is allergic to amoxicillin (facial swelling) . Poor thing, she has had anxiety, major panic attacks, hallucinations, acting out dreams, sleep walking and talking, weird hunger waves and diarrhea. My personal conclusion is that she is allergic to this medication as well. Big pharmaceutical companies need to provide more detailed side effects and allergy warnings. DO NOT TAKE. 6 2 days

 1  sinus infection I took zithromax for the prescribed time , 5 days. My cold got better but in two weeks I started to experience a funny metal taste in my mouth . I started to feel sick with nausea daily. I got really hungry but at the same time felt sick to my stomach. I would eat and then after a while got nausea again. I had a dream someone was feeding me horrible food that was poison . I woke up feeling sick. I started to eat yogurt and drink ginger ale but still felt sick.. I am going to the doctors to see if I have an infection in my intestinal tract . I will never take this drug again. I believe it messed up my system. F 66 5 days
