 2  Strep Throat Ringing in the ears, muscle pain. I have taken this drug before w/o any problems. This time, I have terrible ringing in my ears and muscle pain in my lower back and right at the top of my butt muscles. Very strange. It feels like I have worked 24 hours straight in the yard! Tired back and butt muscles. I did not have any of this the first time I took this antibiotic. F 47 5 days

 2  Prostatitis At day 5, anxiety started. Then frequent urination & very thirsty. INSOMNIA. Flu-like feelings / chills. Bloating. Have taken Z-Packs before with no problem...This was 1st time for generic (Made in Mumbai, per the packages). It's been just over a month, and can now sleep 5 hours a night, up from 1-2 hours, 3 weeks ago. Have asked others here, they say it will take a couple more months to get back to 7 hours of sleep. Man, I hope so. After sleeping 5 hours, will awaken, and every time I start to return to sleep, I experience an emotional "jolt", and return to wakefulness. Miserable. M 47 10 days

 1  acute bronchitis severe anxiety, insomnia, feeling of being unwell I had some symptoms the first two days but on the second night it hit me like a sledgehammer. I was awake the entire night and experiencing acute anxiety. I called my doctor and discontinued the medication. It is now a week and two days since I started the medication and I am still experiencing insomnia and anxiety. I just don't feel like myself and wonder if I will ever again... very depressing. I have a few moments when things aren't so bad and then it is back again with a vengance.

 3  sinus infection stomach cramps and nausea - tired feeling. 5 day generic. I had taken it before, but not sure if the first time was generic. It really helped clear up the sinus infection/cough, but the medicine gave me bad stomach cramps and nausea. I finished the medicine on friday and now it's sunday and I still have the side effect symptoms. Will I have to wait until the drug is out of my system to feel relief from the nausea and stomach cramps? I felt like I could tough it out for the 5 days, but when will it end? F 52 5 days

 1  Sinus Infection Nausea, dizziness, anxiety, general "sick" feeling. I've taken Zithromax in the past with no problem, but this time they gave me the generic and I've had all sorts of problems with it. Every time I took a pill I became very sick, and then on day 2 or 3 I started having night time anxiety attacks. I jumped out of bed yelling one night while I was still mostly asleep! I've suffered with general anxiety most of my life, but I know how to control it, and it's never been like this! DO NOT TAKE this medicine if you've got anxiety disorders! F 38 5 days

 1  Bronchitis Within 90 minutes of my first liquid dose, horrible and sudden stomach pain followed by bouts of diarrhea. I was up all night with difficulty breathing and heart racing. Got up this morn to a nice rash all over tops of both arms and across my back. Will not continue taking this crap. Will try homeopathic remedies.Alot of doctors are all in bed with the Pharma Companies and their dishonesty and lack of integrity is sickening. Wonder if they would feed their families this poison? My RX in now deep sixed. F 50 1 days

 1  Sinus Infection Man! I thought I had lupus or some kind of kidney problems or something! I went in for a routine sinus infection and have been DESTROYED by this drug. Luckily I work from home... Getting into months two now -- SIDE EFFECTS: Anxiety, Fever Dreams, Paranoia, Depression, Intestinal pain, Distorted Vision, Dizziness, Fatigue, Exaustion, Break out on forehead (where I've never broken out before!), joint and muscle aches, and a kind of fungal infection on my hands, making them red, blotchy and scaly (again, I've never had any skin problems in my life!). FOr anyone with the hand issue, Hydrocoritisone helps. The break out goes away with lots of working out and sweating. Drink LOTS and LOTS of water every day. My symptoms have only improved through exercise and H20... I will never again take an antibiotic that only lasts for 5 days. That's insane! It's only the 4th time I've ever had to take antibiotics in my life! This stuff is designed for antibiotic junkies or something... M 30 5 days

 1  Strep Throat Severe Anxiety, dizziness, heaviness in my chest, trouble sleeping, rapid heart beat that feels like it may explode through my chest, fatigue I am so glad that I found this website because I have been contemplating going to the ER all day but don't really want to because I have never had heart problems and only started having symptoms since I started taking this medicine. I have taken this before with no side effects other than I usually needed a second antibiotic to completely clear up the infection (I am prone to ear infections) F 41 5 days

 5  Acute pneumonia (outpatient) None, except that it made my brain go on vacation. It was good, I couldn't remember stuff so I just didn't do much of anything for a few days. I MAY have experienced auditory hallucinations in the middle of the night, while in a semi-dreaming state. I don't do well on drugs at all, so I'm surprised and somewhat ashamed that I took to this drug like a duck to water. I did have a sudden craving for organic yogurt so that may have been my saving grace, because I always pay attention to and indulge in food cravings. I felt much better within a day. :-) It is a cheap drug and great for people without health insurance who don't care if they wander around the house for a few days in a dizzy state of non-remembering. F 45 3 days

 1  Sinus infection. Dia-freaking-ria, massive knotted stomach cramps at the base of my rib cage, similar to birth contractions that kept reoccuring when hungry. The first time I took this medication, no problem. However, the second round five months later, forget it! I would have rather taken poison! F 28 3 days

 1  Sinus Infection Extreme depression I have taken Zithromax several times for sinus infections. The first couple of times I took it, I thought it was just a coincidence-or the sinus infection, that I was depressed while on ZPak. I finally realized that each time I've taken it, I get VERY depressed. I cannot take it. F 44 7 days

 1  Sinus infection SEVERE adominal pain, watery diarrhea, uneasy feeling, insominia, bloating Did my headache go away? Absolutely! But I will take that 100xs over the side effects I am experiencing now. I have to lay perfectly still to offset the stomach pain I am experiencing. I took 2 pills the first day only to have major diarreah 3 times in half hour. I took the 2nd day dose of one pill and have had nothing but the most incredible gas and noises along with sharp almost unbearable pains in my stomach. I will not continue this prescription! 24 hours since my last pill and I can't wait till this is out of my system. Doctors told me it is very tolerable, but they obviously have to read all these comments. DO NOT give this to a baby or child!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!! F 42 2 days
