 5  Chlamydia Nausea, mild stomach cramps, diarreah(only once), itching on the body. This medication I was dreading because of all the bad reviews on it. It wasn't so bad and after two days ALL the side effects vanished. Most were gone in three to four hours. This medication cleared out the Chlamydia. I did have some itching a few days later on the body in random places but I only had one bout of diarreah three hours after taking it, some nausea, some stomach cramping but these were almost completely gone in a matter of 4 hours. I suggest watching t.v. or listening to music on it to distract you. Ice pack on the belly will help. But, it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. DON'T BE SCARED TO TAKE THIS! F 18 1 days

 2  Bronchitis (TEVA brand) Insomnia, anxiety/panic attack, mild stomach discomfort. The depression/anxiety/hopelessness hit the day after I finished my last dose. It was intense and almost intolerable. I know several friends who swear by Z-Pak. It works great for them and I wish I could count myself in their number. Personally, I will NEVER be taking this drug again unless it is under a life-threatening circumstance and there are no other options. F 37 3 days

 1  Suspected Chlamydia This was the most HORRENDOUS experience of my life. I took Azithromycin (500MG/1 dose only - TEVA brand) for suspected Chlamydia infection - which I didn't have at the end at all (False Positive result!). My side effects started one week after taking the pill: DEPRESSION, VOMITING, VERTIGO, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, CHEST PAIN & HEART RACING, TINGLING AND NUMBNESS IN MY FACE AND ARMS, I FELT DISTANT FROM REALITY LIKE IF I WAS HIGH ON LSD, PANIC ATTACKS.. went to ER twice (totally useless) one doctor told me I had a mental disorder and prescribed xanax and said I might need Prozac in the future!! I am 25 years old female, totally healthy, never had depression before And would never take either of those drugs!! Total BS, he also told me it's this antibiotic is out of my system in 3 days!!!!! Anyways, called a friend Pharmacist and he recommended Benadryl, after taking the first one, some of the symptoms disappeared.. so I am taking 1/2 on and off.. it's gotten better in the past week, but g I was told it might be out of my system in 4-6 weeks, got a liver cleansing tea (Milk Thistle) which I drink daily.. this has been the worst nightmare, who didn't experience it won't understand. I could't get out of bed and thought there is something seriously wrong with me. I am from Europe and our medication has NEVER caused anything like this! Don't ever take this S*HIT, i feel like it totally poisoned me and the recovery is slow.. 3 weeks ago and I still occasionally feel it.. I just hope and pray it will completely flush out of my system soon! F 25 1 days

 1  Walking pneumonia Awful stomach pains by 3rd day. Diarrhea. Cannot sleep well. Not more then 2-3 hours at a time. Constant shaking/nervousness. I'm panicking and pacing. The 4th day I kept crying. Went back to the doctor and said how I was feeling and he ordered blood tests and took an EKG. The EKG was normal and blood tests came back with some abnormalities which he wants me to re-take. I'm not taking a bunch of tests when I feel this med is continuing my misery. I'm drinking a lot of water, using accupressure and tried herbal rescue remedy drops by Bach. Sometimes those things help a little. I hate this stuff and will not ever take it again. F 44 4 days

 1  possible Throat Infection This is really bad..... Took 2 pills of the (Greenstone Brand) Azithromycin. Pharmacy told me to take 2 pills for the first dosage, no food neccessary. I took the pills at 9am yesterday mrning now it is 5:30am. I cant sleep i had 2-3 hours of sleep max. I would wake up every hour and the anxiety is kicking in. I had to walk around my neighborhood about 6-7 times to keep my mind off the anxiety. Heartbeat definitely feels weird as well. I took 1 pill of Nyquil to try to help me sleep, but no help what so ever. Stomach was very gassy, and honestly i dont know why anyone would take this drug. It has not helped me at all these side effects are seriously scary and should be banned. If you guys have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me. And please Pray for me :) M 23 1 days

 5  bronchitis,pneumonia I had a very bad case of bronchitis and viral pneumonia. I was afraid to take an antibiotic especially that most doctors assured me that it was viral. I waited too long! I had severe insomnia,coughed my lungs up,developed several hernias due to coughing and hallucinated grossly due to total lack of sleep. Everything has changed the minute I took Zpack. There were some side effects,possibly from the drug,like vertigo and headache,which may not even happened because of Zithro ,but my bronchitis and insomnia and cough got 60% better ,which was exactly what I needed to shake the bug off. I am still shaken F 46 5 days

 1  suspected ear infection exploding diarrhea, heart racing while trying to relax, crazy nightmares, skin rashes, unable to concentrate, loss of appetite, anxiety. Was diagnosed with mild allergic reaction. Never again Any alternative is better. DO NOT TAKE THIS unless you want to see the Grim reaper. I got off this med after the 1st 2pill dose. Only if I was allergic to penacillin would I consider this drug. 24hrs after stopping, Im starting to feel better and more like myself again, I was really worried I wouldnt.(anxiety) I will never ever take this drug again. Good luck to everybody on it. Hope all of you feel better soon. M 36 5 days

 1  bronchitis mild diarrhea after bad first night - a lot of anxiety, feeling weepy, which is not like me at all, and starting to panic at every little thing I felt nausea, dizzy, very tired, fleeting chest pains, tightening in the chest, I started to think I was crazy as I explained all this to my husband. It was very scary and I am 12 days since my last dose. Yesterday and today I had minor fleeting pain in my chest and then cramps in my upper abdomen - I just feel like I want to sleep till this is over and from what I have read here it won't be too soon. I am glad I found this site or I think I would have been in a mental hospital. I would never take this medicine again. It is not worth the mental anguish that I am going through. I would rather try something else. F 67 5 days

 4  Strep Throat Mild side-effects, such as loose stools (no liquid stools), gas, bloating, lack of appetite. In a nut shell, my digestive system was messed up for the duration of taking azithromycin. However these side effects went away about a week after my last dose. Overall, this drug was very effective. My strep throat symptoms went away the first day of taking this anitbiotic. However, the side effects could be a little annoying. But the side effects should go away in about a week after stopping azithromycin. After a week of taking this antibiotics, stock up on probiotics. They helped me alot, and I am back to my normal self again! M 16 5 days

 1  Bronchitis/ Pertussis Most horrible experience ever. Had all of the side effects, but the anxiety was the worst. I took the third day's dose yesterday and 2 hours after, I had a panic attack that almost knocked me out. I was beginning to think I was mentally ill, going crazy after sitting in front of the computer doing everything other than what I had to do for 3 days straight... It caused self-frustration, anger, and had an urge to hurt myself. Really do not want to have an extended period of these side effects, but seems like they're lasting a while in the others...

 1  infection/lung congestion My father took this medication in early April. Shortly after he started experiencing loss of appetite and lack of energy. On Monday may 14th he died of heart failure. He had no history of heart issues but an EKG was taken at the emergency room and it showed a recent heart attack. The recent news about this medication answers a lot of questions my family had.
