 1  Tooth infection It's been 2 months since I've taken this drug. I was a healthy 31 year old who loved life. I took one dose of this poison and now I cant sleep, heart goes crazy, bad depression, severe anxiety, dry eyes, etc. I've been in and out of the hospital. I could sleep 8+hrs a day before this and I looked forward to life. Now I cant sleep at all. If i do dose off it's only for a few minutes and I wake back up. Most nights there is no sleep, or 30mins and I wake up constantly in that time. The vivid dreams are so awful. I can't drive or do anything normal due to no sleep and I'm traumatized . Please has anyone else gone through this after taking this drug. I've lost all hope. F 31 1 days

 1  sinus infection sudden severe headache, I ended up in the e.r. because headache began during rigorous exercise. CT scan, lumbar puncture, 4 shots of fentnyl (sp?) and 2 shots of dilaudid before it became a dull headache. It has been 4 days since I went to e.r. and I am still taking percocet for the headache! I have tried taking tylenol and the headache just gets worse. I am hoping it subsides soon, assuming it will be with me until meds are out of my system. I finished taking zithromax 7 days ago. I am hoping it will be out soon! F 38 5 days

 1  Bronchitis & sinus infection HORRIBLE!!!! Nausaous, anxiety, bad dreams, night sweats, syncope, dizzy, foggy, inability to concentrate, insomnia, dehydrated, heart palpitations and this passed to my child whom is breast fed and made him extremely fussy and gave him insomnia (8 months) the doctor told me this was the only antibiotic she would give with me breast feeding which I argued because he was on amoxicillin for bronchitis at the time why not just give me that? I can't believe this drug is legal! I am day 3 of not taking it and still nauseous, anxiety and dizziness. Feels like its letting up but still definitely there. Baby is now fine but I will never see the prescribing doctor again. F 26 3 days

 1  Bronchitis RUINED ME. Cleared up my bronchitis just fine. I DIDNT KNOW I HAD MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL JUST TO FEEL BETTER WHEN I STARTEDTAKING THIS!! SEVERE anxiety and panic attacks, rapid heart beating, numbness in my fingers and feet, leg cramps at night- I also got an instant headache during sex, felt something "pop" and then my scalp was tingling and numb(this only happened once). I had diarrhea for approx. 5-6 months- even had a colonoscopy and they didn't find anything. Dr had to prescribe xanax for me - felt like I was going insane. It has been 1 1/2 years since I took this poison and I will never be the same -I miss myself and my husband does too. F 37 5 days

 2  sinusitis Terrible stomach pains after taking the tablets, diarrhea, nausea, acidic taste in mouth. Dizziness esp. getting up in the morning (low blood pressure?), absolutely no energy at all, swelling in hands and legs, panic attacks, feeling of dehydration, dry eyes and dry mouth. I thought I would never recover, but it's been two weeks since the first dose and most of the side effects are gone now. I'm so glad I can get out of the house again. I just wanted to let you know that you probably won't die even though you feel like you might! I live alone and I felt like I would have needed someone to look after me, especially during the panic attacks, because I haven't had a panic attack since high school. I bought the generic azithromycin prescribed by my doctor in Finland. I would not recommend this drug for kids or elderly people, some of the side effects are nasty and will appear without a warning! I felt fine after taking the 2nd dose, but very dizzy and feverish 2-3 hours after the 3rd dose, and it just went downhill from there. I've never had a bad reaction to antibiotics before. F 32 3 days

 3  Acute Bronchitis Loss of Appetitie, Dizziness, Nausea, Dehydration, Disconnection from reality, Nightmares, Moodiness, Fatigue, Severe Headache, Depression, Metallic Taste in Mouth This is only the second time in 15 years I have taken this drug. The first time, I had almost no side effects. I wish I could say the same for this go-around. I have never felt so removed from reality as I do now. My respiratory infection is clearing up, but the side effects are making me feel almost worse than when I was bed/couch-ridden. The vivid nightmares make it almost impossible to sleep, and when I do, I wake up disoriented, depressed and weak. No rash or hives, but my tongue feels a bit swollen and I really wish I felt like eating, but when I do, my taste buds feel numb. I'll finish the dose, but I will never take this drug again.

 1  Pneumonia HORRIBLE! How I wish I would have seen this site prior to taking this dreadful medication. Drug caused insomnia (when I slept it was to nasty dreams), severe anxiety, brain fog, inability to concentrate, total loss of appetite, stomach cramps and muscle spasms, torso rash. Was until day 4 that I realized it was the drug I was reacting to, and by then I had 2000mg of the toxin in my body. Wouldn't you know it, this drug has a 68 hour half life (very, very long), which means it stays in your system for a long time. I'm at day 5 now off of the drug, and according to my calculations I still have 10 days left to completely purge this drug! The anxiety and insomnia and cramps are still with me. I asked my doctor if the symptoms will remain as long as it is in me and he said 'yes they can', but we are hopeful that they will slowly diminish as the drug is eliminated. NEVER take this drug if you have options, and even if you don't, think twice. This drug should be banned. M 51 4 days

 1  Throat infection Hives developed after taking day two dosage. I called my doc and his nurse told me to take one more dosage and use Benadryl to control the hives. I took the third dose and the fourth a my throat was slow to improve. I really wish I could go back and not take those two days of dosages. It has been now seventeen days since I last took this and hives are the ,main focus of every day now. I take twelve benadryls per day and two oatmeal baths minimum. No signs of lessening and I'm desperate to know how long before this crap is out of my system. F 48 4 days
