 1  Travelers diarrhea Severe gastrointestinal issues - bloating, diarrhea, burning in stomach, pounding heart, horrible anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, overall feeling of flu like symptoms. I took 1000 mg in one dose with food, as recommended. I felt terrible the next day, with all of the symptoms described above. It has been 2 weeks, and the symptoms are beginning to decrease, but I am still not feeling well. I would never take this medication again. I think it wiped out my entire digestive tract, and I take probiotics. Nor sure what it did to my central nervous system, but I have never experienced anxiety like this. Still dealing with some anxiety and anorexia, but it is improving. Take this medication at your own risk. It should be taken off the market! F 65 1 days

 1  Sinus infection Worst anxiety I have ever experienced in my life. Will never take again. Potentially ruined my career as it caused me to have panic attacks right before an important test. Heart rate was jacked up for days on end, and latched on to my upcoming test and could not get it out of my mind thinking I was going to fail. The physical and psychological disaster this drug caused far outweighed the curative benefits. M 28 4 days

 1  Slight congestion and cough Heart palpitations (like how I feel when I'm about to take off on plane ride or rollercoaster), anxiety, slight diarrhea Dr prescribed z pack after I had a congestion and cough for almost two weeks. It wasn't getting worse but wasn't getting better. I took the first days dose, 2 of the 250mg pills. A few hours later I had to use the bathroom but I was driving on the road. Almost pooped my pants. And then my heart felt like when you're about to drop from a high roller coaster ride. All night. And into the next day. Trying to just manage my stress and anxiety so I don't make my heart worse. Didn't take the second dose and will stop taking it and won't ever take it again. I'd rather cough for a month than feel like my heart is gonna drop at any time. I read the warnings on the leaflet it comes with and thought maybe I had an unknown heart problem that I was reacting this way to the antibiotic and am sure to die from it. Don't ever wanna take this again. I wanna flush this out of my system already (the two pills I took on the first day will be in my body for 17 days, wth). Nope never again! F 26 5 days

 4  Stomach Infection Extreme hunger, mental clarity was foggy, extremely bad insomnia, paranoia, visual disturbances, irritable, exhausted, horrible taste in mouth and loss of taste to food days after finishing last dose, skin on face puffy, red, and stingy. I also itched in vaginal area, throat, and mouth as well. I did experience severe stomach pain, bloating and diarreah first couple of days but it subsided after 3rd day.It did sibstantially get rid of my stomach infection however now i have these other horrible side effects that have compromised my life significcantly. Ugh. I will not take thia again. I want my sleep back, my taste back and my good health back to normal again. I guess I will try taking more water, allergy pills, working out to sweat it out and a probiotic. I have got to get this out of my system. I do not recommend unless you must do it because you have to do it. If lose my sense of tast permanently i may sue this company. Are you with me? F 39 7 days

 1  Ear infection Extreme dizziness, headache and diarrhea. After getting over the flu I went to the dr with what felt like a terrible hangover. I was dizzy and felt unwell all together. He prescribed the z pack because my ears were exremenly fluid filled. I already suffer from anxiety and at the time wasn't thinking about anything but getting rid of the head pressure. I came home and took the double dose and within hours I was extremely dizzy, light sensitive and had diarrhea. Chalked that episode up to the double dose so I took the next dose the next day. Same exact effect. Never ever again will I take this medication. I feel worse now than I did when I had the flu. My anxiety is out of the roof and I'm still dizzy and foggy feeling! F 39 2 days

 1  Sinusitis/Bronchitis I had taken it for years with no problems, suddenly in october I was put on it and my World came crashing down. Severe anxiety, depression, confusion, insomnia, muscle spasms, calf pain, chest pain, tingling in hands and feet, weakness, fatigue, and I felt like I was going crazy. I literally had to go to a psychiatrist because of these effects and thinkin I was going insane. It's March now and I still experience some of the effects. Please do NOT take it F 38 10 days

 1  Sinusitis Extreme pain in both legs around the calf. My son has taken this antibiotic before with no problem. Fast forward to 2 years later, he was put on it last month (February 2017) for sinusitis. After 2 doses he could not walk. His pain was terrible around his calf in both legs. His Doctor took him off of it and within a day, he was back to normal. M 6 2 days

 1  Infection in sinuses/ears A few hours after taking this I experienced severe stomach and abdominal pain, diarrhea/loose stool, and nausea. I couldn't sleep well that night, or the other nights, because of sweating and anxiety. I am so exhausted. I am also starving, but can't eat much and have a weird taste in my mouth. I thought I was going crazy, but I'm happy it's not just me. Do not take this! F 24 3 days

 1  Sore Throat Diarrhea, paranoia, jitters, insomnia, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, "bad trip" One of the worst nights of my life. Felt like a bad hallucinogen trip. Could not think straight at all, dark intrusive thoughts (like cutting my abdomen open with a knife) and paranoia which caused a panic attack. The next morning I felt like my IQ was a lot lower and could only do things very slowly. Thankfully by the next day I feel mostly better again. I am hoping I don't have any more ongoing issues with it, I would never take this again. M 39 1 days

 5  sinus infection/upper respiratory slight loose stool Works well for me and have never had a problem. Sometimes have needed a second 5 day pack to kick out the remains of sinus infection. Have always taken with food at same time each of the days, and kept hydrated and have never had a problem with this drug. It has worked for me when tetracycline, doxycycline and amoxicillin have not.
