Around 1-3hrs later I had full blow diarrhea, went to sleep because I felt sleepy couldn't keep my eyes open, then woke up basically running out of my sleeping position with a heart rate of 125, dizziness, very very high ANXIETY!!!! Horrible reaction, I thought I was going to need to goto the ER. This happened 2 more times so far. | F | 36 | 1 days 250 2X day | 8/12/2021 | 1 | Pneumonia | Abnormal dreams where I cant tell if im awake or asleep, restlessness, inability to sleep for first few hours after taking it. Only on second day and never had dreams like this prior. | I took 1000mg 1st day and followed by 3 days of 500mg once a day. | F | 31 | 2 days 500mg 1X day | 8/12/2021 | 2 | tonsilitis | horrible anxiety; just felt really "off" and also insomnia. | hate it. | F | 51 | 250 1X day | 8/4/2021 | 1 | Sinus infection | I'm allergic to many antibiotics so this has been my go to when I do become ill. Never had an issue. This time, however, I started having severe anxiety that I couldn't shake. Along with diarrhea, bouts of nausea, dry mouth, and sleep issues. I felt off and weird in my head. I also have anxiety and adhd regularly but this was different and I couldn't control it. I stopped on day 3 once I put together what was happening. | I won't take this again unless absolutely necessary. | F | 37 | 3 days 250mg 1X day | 6/4/2021 | 1 | As Precaution due to Covid | Severe anxiety/panic, irritability, can't sleep, stomach pain, diarrhea so severe almost couldn't make it to the bathroom. | I have taken this medication in the past and never had this reaction, not sure if it's the manufacture or what the case may be. I definitely will not ever take it again. I was prescribed the medication for precaution because I tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms. Night one, I woke up extremely hot and it felt like my blood rushing throughout my body, followed by complete feeling of fear. I had my husband take me to the ER because I wasn't sure what was going on and given I tested positive for Covid I wanted to be on the safe side. By time I got to the ER I felt a little better and of course all my test came back normal. I skipped the second day, did not take the antibiotic and felt a little better. Decided to take the antibiotic on day 3 & 4 with today being day 4 and ended up back at the ER. I felt like I could not breath because I was having an anxiety attack, my body was shaking from the inside, completely irritable and couldn't concentrate. This is horrible, definitely won't ever take the medication again. | F | 43 | 4 days 500mg 1X day | 1/9/2021 | 1 | Chlamydia | Headache, Insomnia, Increased Anxiety, Low Mood | I tested positive for Chlamydia and was given a shot of Rocephin and 1000mg (4 250mg pills of Zithromax). I didn't start to feel bad until 2 or 3 days after taking the antibiotics. My anxiety began to ramp up and I also developed insomnia, I felt "blah" and had a constant headache for multiple days. It has been 10 days since I have taken my 1000mg dose and I'm starting to feel better. All symptoms are on the decline although my sleep is still messed up. I did some research and found out that antibiotics kill not only bad bacteria but also good bacteria in your gut. This happens to be where many of your neurotransmitters are produced which I think is the reason why I felt so many mental effects. I read up on probiotics and prebiotics and started taking both for the foreseeable future. I also took a trip to Whole Foods and have been eating a healthy diet of organic fruits and veggies. Hopefully, I am on the mend! I know one thing, I will never take that antibiotic again! It made me feel compeltely off. | M | 41 | 1 days 1000 1X day | 12/18/2020 | 1 | Bartonella | Dizziness, severe panic attacks, heart beat intense, major nausea, constipation, difficult swallowing food | Do NOT take this medicine. Ask your doctor if there is any medicine you could take besides this. I have had severe anxiety and severe depression my whole life, but nothing will ever, end I mean EVER. Come close to how this medicine made me feel. I felt better without it. | M | 21 | 5 days 250 1X day | 12/1/2020 | 1 | Chlamydia | Sweating, vomiting, headaches, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and extreme anxiety | I do not recommend this medication 100000% | F | 18 | 1 days 500 1X day | 11/24/2020 | 1 | Sinus | Anxiety, heart palpitations, BAD stomach pain, gas, nausea and gross poop, dizziness | I have taken this before and was fine. Took it when I had covid, it helped the pneumonia. Then I took it in July and no side effects. Have a sinus infection and boy oh boy are the side effects awful. Felt fine on day one but by day two an hour after taking I was dizzy and off, stomach pain through the roof, heart palpitations, ANXIETY! I had to Listen to anxiety songs on YouTube tk go to bed. I stopped taking it, after day two. The half life is almost 3 days. By the end of the week I should feel back To Myself but never again | M | 28 | 5 days 250 1X day | 11/22/2020 | 1 | Wisdom Tooth Exraction/infection | Anxiety, Depression, diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach pain, stomach cramps, racing heart, insomnia. | Advocate for yourself. If you are experiencing any negative side effects, tell your doctor so they can switch you to another medication. You don't deserve to feel like this. | F | 29 | 3 days 250 MG 1X day | 10/22/2020 | 3 | Severe sinus infection....ear infec | So I don't like the drug. . granted it did help clear up some of my sinus infection and I do feel better than I did before. But I need sleep. This drug messes with my sleep big time. I can't get to sleep and when I do I'm in and out of sleep all night. Then I am anxious the next day because I didn't sleep. This pill also gave me awful and I mean awful diarrhea from day 1. I had to watch what I ate... Half the time I couldn't make it through dinner without a bathroom trip.. the stomach pains are horrible. | F | 39 | 5 days 250mg 1X day | 10/18/2020 | 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 | 3 | Sinus infection | This is one of two maybe three antibiotics I can take, and I have taken it for many years. This is the first time I have felt anxiety on it, however. I am distracting myself with TV. Reading other patients reviews makes me want to stress that you should take Zithromax with food, substantial food, not just a few chips or piece of toast. Follow up any antibiotic regime with a lot of yogurt to replenish good bacteria in the gut. Very important. Hang in there. I wish you all well. | F | 56 | 5 days 150 mg 1X day | 10/9/2020 | 1 | I was tested positive for covid 19 | Horrifying.. I was asymptomatic covid positive and still doctors prescribed me this antibiotics... Heart palpitations.. Sweating rubber and type feeling in head | Don't take this medicine... I can't able to sleep properly .. Its like.. Fast heart palpitations but when you measure it shows normal... And you do not understand what to do | F | 33 | 5 days 500 1X day | 10/1/2020 | 1 | Possible lung infection | During taking the medication I only experienced mild bloating, but at the end, I started to get timing him my ears. It is 7 months later and I have official diagnosis of PERMANENT HEARING LOSS and very loud tinnitus (ringing). I will have to spend thousands on hearing aids to compensate. | There was no warning on the picking of hearing loss, though it is common. It should not be prescribed if underlying cause is unknown (viral vs bacterial). | M | 39 | 10 days 250mg 1X day | 9/28/2020 | 2 | Sinus infection | Joint pain in knee and hip severe. Heart palpitations | F | 50 | 5 days 250 mg 1X day | 9/22/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection | Horrible dizziness, lack of appetite, nausea, yellow stools, stomach pains, anxiety and depression. | Never again. I stopped taking by day 5. It's been a week since stopping and I have good days and bad days. Can't wait till it gets out of my system | F | 54 | 7 days 250mg 1X day | 9/22/2020 |
