| 1 | Sinus Infection | Vertigo-severe stomach cramps, ears ringing, horrible -unbearable headache, stayed in bed for two days- NOT LIKE ME AT ALL - made me sad and depressed - could not eat - aniexty at times- sleep problems.-- | I WILL NEVER TOUCH THIS STUFF AGAIN- I feel 100X worse than I did with the sinus infection - seriously - this medication should have better warnings of side effects- had I known this - I WOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN THIS DRUG - | F | 42 | 5 days 250 1X day | 1/14/2011 | 3 | Sinusitis | Anxiety for the first time in a few years. Can't sleep, totally on edge, massive stomach ache, loss of appetite, drunk feeling, depression, metal taste in mouth, gas...many many more | I feel like I could die, I keep telling my husband at night "If I don't wake up, I love you" I think he thinks I am making this up and I am so glad I found this site. I just have a general feeling that something is not right and I have not had crazy dreams like this since I was preggers 19 years ago. I have taken a Z pack in the past and have never felt this way. I am 34 and feel like I have the complaints of my 80 year old grandmother. Even though my sinus infection seems to be going away, I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS AGAIN. | F | 34 | 5 days 1X day | 1/11/2011 | 1 | Sinusitis | abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, heart discomfort, headaches | i was taking this drug because the pharmacist said i couldnt take antibiotics due to me being allergic to augmentin. and day one, it started to clear up my sinuses, i had a really bad infection, day 2 to day 5..i gradually started getting better in my sinuses BUT the side effects were getting worse! diarhea, nausea, i cant sleep! and my heart keeps beating ultra fast and my abdomins hurt a LOT. i wanted to stop but my friend said he would continue because they are SIDE EFFECTS, not long term damage. i stopped taking it jan 4 2011, and its now jan 8 2011, and my heart and abdomins hurt like non other. PLEASE SOMEONE EMAIL ME IF YOU KNOW HOW LONG THIS WILL LAST!!!! | M | 21 | 5 days 250 1X day | 1/8/2011 | 4 | strep throat | the First day I had to take 2 pills so I took it at 930pm thats the time I got back from the hospital. I went to sleep like around 12am and the room was dark so I started seeing faces with my eyes closed, I open them I can still see faces ( evil faces and normal faces coming at me). I left it alone and decide to try it out the next day to see what happen. the following day I took one pill at 930pm and went to bed around 1am, I started seeing faces again so maybe I thought I could control it because I believe I'm able to control my mind body and heart so I said with my eyes opens in the dark, I want to see a woman dancing, A white shadow with no face just a hood on appear in front of me and put his finger in my face and said no shaking it to the side, thats when I said (oh he.ll no), I got up and slept with the light on. I seen some weird crazy stuff on this pills, I haven't drink alcohol in the past 3 weeks and I don't take any illegal drugs so this med is crucial. | I read some comments saying they were having pain swallowing while taking the medication, well I was inform by ER that this is only for infection, make sense if the infection goes away the pain as well but why put yourself for additional 5 days of pain when the hospital should of inform you that theres a one time shot or pills if you don't like shots that they can give you right there for the pain, But with all that pain just take the shot is faster, by the time I got in my car from the ER I felt no pain at all, now all I'm dealing with is this azithromycin tables 250mg and there little devils free of charge which I will gladly take them back to the stored right now. Any feed back feel free to email me at [email protected] first letter is an (L) kinda looks like a one. thank you | M | 29 | 5 days 250MG 1X day | 1/7/2011 | 2 | Bronchitis and Ear infection | First day took 2 pills by the end of the day I could swallow again without severe sharp pains, next day took 1 pill...pain even better, 3rd day took 1 pill started to get such stomach cramps and diarhea and bad gas, 4th day serious serious naseous headaches (like motion sickness)and neck aches, still stomach cramps, gas and diarhea. Last day 5 ear still feels like ear infection is still there with a blocked sensation, cough is still there although the pain in my throat is gone. I feel soo out of sorts and sick otherwise which is worse than the original sickness! | I am guessing it worked somewhat for the bronchitis, but not for the ear infection. I took this antibiotic because Amoxicillin causes yeast infections for me. It has been 2 days off of the meds and I still have severe headaches and neckaches and stomach cramps and gas, I will never take this med again the side effects are too much and last too long! | F | 37 | 5 days 1X day | 1/3/2011 | 2 | Sinus/Ear Infection | SEVERE stomach the whole time taking it. | Didn't do a thing to me besides make me sick. | F | 14 | 5 days Not Sure 1X day | 1/3/2011 | 1 | Bronchitis | EXTREME weakness, loss of appetite, crying spells, mind fog, nausea, jittery feelings, insomnia, very strange dreams. | I've taken this drug before and it has never affected me this way. I am SO glad I found this site because I felt like I was losing my mind!! I could NOT get one full night's sleep..waking up exactly every 2 hours on the dot even though I'm exhausted. I thought it was weird the first night it happened, but it has happened every night since and I finished taking this stuff 2 days ago. I finally got sleeping pills to help me sleep all night! I'm still so weak I can't sit up for long, I get lightheaded and feel like I'm going to pass out. I'm still not able to put in a full day's work, so I'm hoping these symptoms subside real soon!!!! On the "up" side I feel like it has done some good in clearing up my congestion but I will be advising my doctor of these side effects and will ask for something else next time. The rest of me feels awful and I'm not sure it was really worth the mental state I am in right now. Please email me if you have any questions or comments. | F | 48 | 5 days 1X day | 1/3/2011 | 3 | Severe sore throat, possible URI | Having thoughts i would not otherwise have lately like is my body ok, etc--panicky type thoughts after day 4. Looked real paled, flushed after day 1,2. Can't sleep, upset stomach after day 4, some loose explosive stools after day 4, bloatedness and lack of appetite after days 2 and 3. Wondering when I'll actually be tired enough to lay down to sleep after day 4. Am not going to take last pill--terrible redness in back of throat is gone, as far as possible URI--my breathing is physically ok besides some almost delusional panicky type thoughts which I know especially by reading the comments are part of the side effects. I actually just prayed for like 30 minutes straight to the Lord to deliver me from the panicky thoughts, etc, and that helped alot--from prayer I just got back a feeling of just have to wait out the side effects now and trust in Him; the sickness is gone. | I think what Zithromax could be compared to is like Chemotherapy--it just starts killing everything that's infectious bacteria but also some needed good bacteria, gets in your blood and to your brain and thoughts are altered somewhat. But the power of your intellect and deliberate concentrating thought alone can over power these side effects It's a very strong anti-biotic which should be downplayed overall across the board. My guess is to maybe to rid of the side effects, hydrate, but don't overhydrate, and flush system with water to dilute and expel zithromax from system. | M | 33 | 6 days 500mg 1X day | 12/30/2010 | 2 | sinus infection | Head & neck ache, irritable, ringing in ears, anxiety, chronic fatigue, joint pain | Day 3 arrived with much discomfort. Not good. Head & neck ache, irritable, ringing in ears, anxiety, chronic fatigue, joint pain and head congestion is worse than two days ago. Also experiencing hand tremors and sweating too much. | F | 38 | 4 days 1X day | 12/29/2010 | 2 | walking pneumonia | SEVERE stomach pain, insomnia, explosive diarrhea, depression(easily brought to tears, easily agitated), nausea, unable to eat. | All of these symptoms started on day 2. On day 5 now. Seriously considering calling my doctor before I take anymore. | F | 38 | 7 days 500 mg 1X day | 12/28/2010 | 1 | Sinus infection | insomnia, anxiety, depression, nervousness - sleep cycle is horrible, can't get a good nights rest and the nervousness is the worst, please contact me at [email protected] to discuss if you have similar symptoms | never will take it again - this drug is horrible | M | 31 | 2 days 250 1X day | 12/28/2010 | 4 | Chlamydia | Bloating and fatigue, mainly. When I potty it itches so bad!!! I only took the medice once, 1 gram, to tackle Chlamydia. I don't know if it helped but the first three days I almost got myself killed in several car accidents - it makes you incredibly sleepy. | F | 23 | 1 days 1 gram 1X day | 12/25/2010 | 5 | TOOTH INFECTION | NONE | works every time !! no side effects...i get tired stomach aches and such from the infection in my body NOT the medication | F | 32 | 5 days 1X day | 12/24/2010 | 4 | Brochitis | An upset stomach. I got an upset stomach and some mild diarea on the third day. Loss of appitite.And I was irritared very easily. But I dont know how much of this is the meds and how much is the actual sickness..... | I would take it again, It cleared up my infection and the side effects are mild (to me). | F | 30 | 5 days 250 1X day | 12/22/2010 | 3 | phylingitis | Awful headaches. Pretty severe neck pain as well. Have also noticed diarrhea, but was unable to determine if this was due to being sick or from the zpack. | Not sure I would take this again. Actually pretty sure I'd ask for something else. Side effects almost as painful as the awful sore throat I had originally. | F | 32 | 3 days 1X day | 12/17/2010 | 1 | tooth infection | started taking on 12/14/10 day 1 was ok by day 2 i started feeling edgey and didnt attribute it to that . thurs 12/16 went to dentist and the edgeyness was worse. i was getting numb andtake shots with no ephinephrine and went into a full panic attack. had to go to my doc and bc my bp went up heartrate was up was shaey inside and out. ekg good . came home husband reminded me that about 8 months ago i was on zpac and became paranoid felt ill had anxiety. didnt think of it again. noticed zpac is no longer light pink but bright red bc of changes to manufacturing. never had a prob on the old ones. remembered last time saying felt weird. going to call dentist today and doc bc neither thought of this . i asked my pharmacist who confirmed that this med can raise bp which eleevates anxiety. now im scared and afraid to be alone for fear of these attacks. ive ben feeling great for many many months and didnt think about the past affect before starting it the other day. will not take again. | F | 51 | 3 days 250 1X day | 12/17/2010 | 1 | SIBO | Horrible insomnia, intestinal cramping, loose stools, anxiety, panic | I originally took this drug (the generic) for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. Not only did it exacerbate the symptoms - flushing, feverishness, upset stomach, intolerance to dairy products, diarrhea, cramping, and so on - it added a few more, the worst of which was dreadful insomnia. Even though I was exhausted, every time I was dropping off to sleep, a wave of adrenaline would pass through me. By 3AM I was frantic and weeping. When I finally did sleep for one hour, I had nightmares. This drug very definitely has CNS side-effects. I will never take it again. | F | 57 | 1 days 250mg 1X day | 12/16/2010 | 2 | Bronchitis | No side effects while taking the Zithromax but a day after, developed a rash characterized by tiny red bumps all over my body. Didn't itch at first but after it began to spread a day later, it started to itch. | Never had an allergic reaction to any other medications including other anti-biotics. Wouldn't take Zithromax again. | M | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 12/12/2010 | 1 | To prevent infection from a Parrot | Vertigo, disorientation, depression, scary dreams, heavy eyes, severe back aches, bloody diarrhea, numbness all over, severe stomach pains, like knives stabbing, raised facial hives, weakness, unable to stay awake. | a nightmare that I'm still in. symptoms started on day 5. this is day 9 and I am still in bed. i am so sick, just to try and prevent infection from a bird bite. never again.. i have missed work and feel like people don't believe me when I tell them how sick I am. depression is horrible, its christmas and i can't do what i normally do, i feel miserable and wonder how long this is going to last. will i be like this forever?
