| 1 | sinus infection | Severe anxiety, loss of appetite, dry mouth, racing thoughts, feelings of despair, diarrhea for several days and then cramping lower intestinal cramps throughout the day. | 11 days after my last dose my digestive system is still a mess, anxiety is lessening slightly but it's still like nothing I've ever experienced before. 2 days after my first dose I felt emotionally worse than I ever have in my entire life. I'd taken this before with no problems—meanwhile this has been a complete nightmare. | F | 47 | 5 days 1X day | 2/11/2012 | 1 | Bronchitis | This antibiotic is horrible. Day 1, felt ok, day 2, terrible diarrea, lower abdominal pain, shooting pains in head, nausea, constant heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness. I saw 3 different doctors in order to diagnose the bronchitis and told all of them that I have anxiety as an underlying condition and take Ativan as needed. Not one of those doctors warned that Zithromax could cause anxiety as a side effect and the heart palpatations were serious and frequent. My anxiety is not as bad as this antibiotic made it feel! Terrible medicine, will never take it again! | F | 35 | 3 days 500 | 2/9/2012 | 1 | Bronchitis | Projectile vomiting and severe diarrhea on day 5 | Side effects occurred even though I took each dose with food. | F | 36 | 5 days 1X day | 2/5/2012 | 1 | Bronchitis | heart racing, pain between shoulder blades, Very heavy chest, dry itchy skin and Too tired to get up.

After taking the first dose I experienced severe diarrhea with blood. I thought that the bowel issue would pass so I took the 2nd dose that same night. 30 mins after I took the pill I began to experience loose bowel movements once again. I woke up the next morning feeling gloomy. It was like I was a space zombie. I tried to drive to the store but could not see. My assumption is that I that medicine caused me to experience photosensitivity. However, I took the 3rd dose that evening. 30 mins later I had diarrhea with vomiting. The next day I was rushed to ER. I had hives and my esophagus cut off . My face, hands,feet and legs were numb. I have never been allergic to a medication, but this antibiotic caused me to experience anaphaxlis. It has been 2 weeks since the allergic reaction. I still have facial, foot, and hand numbness. I also have loose stools and nausea. Sometime my right eye hurts. I know this is the reaction lingering. I will never take this drug again. I believe it was made with poison.

Two hours after having taken the first dosage, I started experiencing abdominal pain, and it only kept getting worse by the moment. It got to the point that I almost went back to the ER where they'd originally prescribed it, but I decided to tough it out. Symptoms lasted all day, and 3 days later, I still get the same pain every once in a while. I've taken this before, but never had such terrible side effects. I'll never take it again. | F | 22 | 5 days 500 1X day | 1/3/2012 |
