| 1 | clymidia | extreme psychotic reaction, hallucinations. On two occasions I developed clymidia (within a 5 year period) and was given high dose of zithromax each time.

Lets see, runs right after taking this, terrible stomach pain, dizzness, when i layed down to go to bed i am experienceing XTREME anxiety, sweats, aches..This medicine is terrible and Im not finishing it~ | F | 21 | 5 days | 1/23/2007 | 5 | Walking Pneumonia | none | Great Help! Wonderful medication | M | 14 | 5 days | 1/22/2007 | 4 | Bronchitis | None, so far. | Seems to have improved my condition 24 hours after first dose.... | F | 17 | 5 days | 1/17/2007 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Back pain, dizziness, severe itching, lack of sleep | My daughter (9 year old) had severe reaction. She had generic substitution (azithromycin) for zithromax. Never would recommend this product or give this to my daughter. | F | 9 | 5 days | 1/16/2007 | 1 | STD HIV prevention | Severe diarrhea, Body aches, fatigue, mental confusion, blurred vision, vaginal burning...so far... | I had been given a one gram dose (four 250 mlgms)at the hospital after going through a physical for a rape. I was told the pills were used for preventative measures just in case I'ld picked up an STD or HIV/AIDS. It's been 3 days now & I still have all these problems. After experiencing what I have and reading what's written on this page, I wish I had not taken it! I'll let you know how long this lasts... | F | 56 | 1 days | 1/8/2007 | 4 | sinus infection | stomach pains, cramping, nausia, dehydration for all 5 days that I took it, and on the second night of taking the medicine, I felt very out of my mind as if I were hallucinating. | My infection cleared up, but it's not something I would take again. Too many side effects for me. | F | 24 | 5 days | 1/6/2007 | 1 | Ear Infection | Let's see...chest pain, stomach pain (severe), unending diarrhea, seizure, tingling in face, nausea, and now ringing in ears. | I'm thinking that all of the 2-3% have found this website. | F | 49 | 10 days | 1/3/2007 | 5 | Chronic Sinus infection | No side effects at all | Zithromax works great! | F | 37 | 10 days | 1/2/2007 | 3 | sinus congestion | ZITHROMAX SEEMED TO BE EFFECTIVE IN TRAEATING THE INFECTION, BUT THE 2ND DAY I WAS VERY IRRITABLE,ANXIOUS,NERVOUS,SHAKY,ETC.... TO THE POINT OF BEING CLINICALLY DEPRESSED! VERY STRANGE. MY SIDE EFFECTS WERE MOSTLY EMOTIONAL AND/OR PSYCHOLOGICAL, BUT VERY, VERY SEVERE WITH SUDDEN ONSET. | F | 45 | 3 days | 12/21/2006 | 3 | Strep, Bronchitis | 3 days of prolonged periods of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and muscle aches that on a scale of 1-10, mine went to 11. (intense and almost where I could not function at all). Worked for me but not what I expected since I never read warnings. | I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TAKING ANY RX MEDICINE WITHOUT READING THE PRECAUTIONS. Almost everything you buy comes with a warning. Why? Most people have enough common sense not to spill hot liquids on themselves or jump off a roof and whoever does is at fault...only a fool would need a warning so why blame someone else. Ignorance is very dangerous. | M | 42 | 3 days | 12/20/2006 | 3 | Ear Infection | Slight tummy ache on day 1 w/loose stools. | I had the most horribly painful ear infection to the point I was in tears. Within a day of taking the drug, my pain went from a 10 to a 5. I am hoping it will be a 1 or 2 tomorrow. | F | 38 | 5 days | 12/20/2006 | 1 | Sinus - 500mg | 1st 500mg azithromycin generic dose no problem. 2nd 500mg dose all hell broke loose. Within 2 hr of taking tablet, sweating, dizziness, stomach pain, headache followed by projectile vomiting. Could not keep it down. Been feeling awful all day. Dizzy , headache, nausea. Took tablet after breakfast and 2 cups of coffee. Previous post mentions possible interaction with caffiene. Be aware of possible reactions - don't go to work until u are sure u are "stable". | Sinus seems to be in remission. Talked to doctor - switching antibiotics. Advised not to take 3rd dose. | M | 36 | 2 days | 12/19/2006 | 5 | STD | No side effects! Took 4 250mg at once... on an empty stomach! | F | 26 | 1 days | 12/16/2006 | 4 | Chlamydia | The worst diarrhea ever for about 2 hours. It calms down and flairs back up. My stomach is now in knots. | My doctor prescribed Zithromax for the common bacterial infection. She said to take 2 pills immediatly and then 2 hours later take one more and one more 2 hours after that. I forgot the time frame and ended up taking all four at one time. I think that is why my stomach is killing me. But the one day dose is very convienant and i would recomend it to anyone who can do it. If you are given the 4 pills in one dose, definatly do the timed intervals, it will be easier on your stomach | F | 23 | 1 days | 12/16/2006 | 4 | throat infection-- maybe strep | intestinal cramping and diarrhea beginning 1-3 hours after taking on empty stomache. | Swollen neck glands began subsiding within 12 hours after taking first dose. Felt back to normal by the time I took the 4th dose. I took my first, 2-tablet dose on an empty stomache 5:30 PM, 1/2 hour before dinner. Starting 45 minutes after the meal, I experienced bouts of diarrhea that went on all evening. I had been feeling run down for 3 weeks, so I did not connect it to the medicine. Took next dose 9AM on an empty stomache, ate 1/2 hour later. Intestinal cramping began 3 hours later, finally culminating in diarrhea 6 hours later; intestinal "irritation" continued until 13 hours after dose. Did a little internet research, learned it stimulates gut motility. Decided to dilute the medicine by taking the next dose on a full stomache. No problems with 3rd dose. | F | 42 | 5 days | 12/4/2006 | 5 | Pneumonia | Diarrhea but not intolerable. The diarrhea I am experiencing is worth how much better my lungs feel! | I have been coughing up a lot of thick brown colored sputum for 6 days. I called the doctor on day 4 and he refused to call in an antibiotic thinking it was viral. On day 6 I called again because nothing had changed and finally the on-call doctor prescribed Z-Pak. I took the first 2 pills at 3pm and by 10pm I was no longer coughing up anything and was finally able to breath! This is great stuff! Just wish I would have been prescribed it sooner. | F | 28 | 1 days | 12/3/2006 | 5 | Walking Pneumonia | A little stomach discomfort....but only because I took the first dose on an empty stomach. Suppressed appetite, but I am sick so I don't feel like eating much anyways. Drink plenty of fluids. It helps to push the medication where it needs to go. I do break out in heavy sweats but I know that is the medication forcing he infection away. This is my second bout with walking pneumonia. | I am on day four and my throat irritation is gone and my chest is not feeling as achy and tender. My cough has subsided substantially. I beleive the benefits of this drug out weighs the side effects and I am happy to be feeling some relief. | F | 30 | 4 days | 11/30/2006 | 2 | Bronchitis | I'm not sure if its a side effect, but i took the 2 pills for the first day, and then the night of the second day i had this really bad earache! it was unbearable! and that lasted throughout the whole night, making it impossible to sleep. Then after the little sleep i managed to get, i woke up with this really bad headache! it was the worst headache i have ever dealt with! everytime i coughed it would feel like something was trying to burst out of my head, or like someone shoved a spike through my temple, IT SUCKED! and now its 5 days later and i still have the headache! i dont know if its because of the anti-biotic, but according to all these other complaints i'm sure that it didnt help any. | If the doctor mentions zithromax! RUN!!!! or something! it does more damage then good! | M | 16 | 5 days | 11/23/2006 |
