Symptoms have persisted for 3 hours or more after taking medication. I am also using asodophillis while taking this to counter act the weakening of my immune system. I am second day of a 3 day dosage...... Nice not to have to take it for 10 days I agree. But wonder what is going on inside to feel this sick fromt the meds. | F | 34 | 2 days | 2/16/2005 | 3 | Bronchitis | none | Myself and my mother-in-law came down with upper respiratory infections the same week. We both took the same meds (z-pack 5 day) and we both got better. Unfortunately, a week later, all of my symptoms came back and I'm taking my 2nd Z-pack. I'm pregnant and my OB thinks this is the safest route of treatment. My mother in law had the same problem with the infection coming back and her doc has switched her to another antibiotic and put her on steroid shots. | F | 28 | 5 days | 2/12/2005 | 5 | pneumonia | stomache upset | great stuff. stopped a nasty case of pneumonia in a few days | M | 38 | 1 weeks | 2/9/2005 | 2 | Sinus Infection | 1st day mild itching; 2nd day dizziness and headache. Nurse & pharmacist both say could be normal, but nurse recommends me stopping the medication - to see what happens. | My daughter 2 years old has a great reaction to this. she usually feels better within days | F | 26 | 2 days | 2/7/2005 | 1 | Dental Surgery | Ringing in the ears, hollow feeling in my head, no appetite, general feeling of being unwell. Stopped taking it after the third pill. | I think this drug should be researched further. I wish I had not taken it. | F | 57 | 3 days | 2/5/2005 | 3 | bronchitis | no side affects,this is 3rd time for bronchitis in 4 months.Other times biaxin was used.no side affect from that either. | hope this works.also using inhaler advair | M | 61 | 3 days | 2/4/2005 | 1 | strep throat | Severe allergic reaction that was misdiagnosed as chicken pox and appeared ten days after taking Zithromax. Spots appear as purple-reddish hives/rash that cover extremities. Itching present. Allergic to Amoxicillin. Prednisone prescribed to counter the reaction. | F | 11 | 5 days | 2/3/2005 | 5 | strep throat | it was amazing. i took the first dose in the afternoon and by the next morning i felt as though i never had any strep throat problems. i experienced no side effects. | M | 25 | 5 days | 1/30/2005 | 2 | Bronchitis | I haven't noticed any side effects. | I catch brochitis at least once, sometimes twice a year. I went to a doctor's office that is open on the weekend because my regular doctor is closed until Monday. I couldn't wait until Monday or I would have ended up in the hospital with pnuemonia. I was prescribed Zithromax after asking for Biaxin 500mg. I know for a fact that Biaxin will get me well but this doctor insisted that I use the Z-pack. It's a 5 day treatment with 2 pills the first day. I also took a shot of cortisone and something else. Today is my second day and I don't feel any better than yesterday. I am still coughing horribly. But, at least the phlegm is breaking up and coming out. I guess that means it's working. I still don't see how a 5 day treament of 250mg Zithromax is going to make me better when I am used to taking Biaxin 500mg for Bronchitis. I rated this medecine a 2 because I don't see any change in my condition. If I were on my last day taking the Z-pack and still felt like this, I would have rated it a 1. | F | 30 | 2 days | 1/23/2005 | 1 | bronchitis | very dizzy, disoriented | was NOT effective at all..in fact I felt worse after taking it | F | 52 | 5 days | 1/13/2005 | 4 | sinusitus | M | 10 days | 1/11/2005 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Terrible stomach pains within first 2 1/2 hrs of taking. Currently on day 3. Some dizzyness and ringing in ears began after first dosage. Sinus infection appears to be gone though. | M | 27 | 3 days | 1/10/2005 | 2 | sinus infection | Nausea, very frequent diarrhea, dizziness, lack of appetite | I was only able to take 1 of the 3 doses of 500mg's. I was extremely nausea and dizzy with diarhea for the first 5 hours after taking the drug. After that the nausea became moderate and the diarhrea was persistent for the 2 days since I took the one pill. The sinus infection was better than dealing with the side effects. I can't eat..I'm just wasting away....days after taking only 1 pill! | M | 22 | 1 days | 1/10/2005 | 4 | Sinus / Bronchial Infection | The only real side effects were loose diahrrea and some stomach pain the first two days. Symptoms were completely elminated when I started eating live culture yogurt with L. Acidophilus. I strongly recommend the yogurt with ANY antibiotic. | The Zithromax cleared up the respiratory infection and increased my energy level within a few days. It did not, of course, cure my asthma, but it significantly reduced the phlegm production and chest pain aggravated by the infection. | F | 43 | 5 days | 12/26/2004 | 5 | cold that made sinus infection | I didn't notice any, but I tolerate antibiotics well | I love this medicine because it works so fast, and only takes three doses. It's great for sinus colds. | F | 43 | 3 days | 12/15/2004 | 2 | ear each | after third dose suddenly felt shot of breath for several minutes. Started taking Neuroten on 6th day after zithromax and had seviar anxity attack and had to call 911. | F | 3 days | 12/14/2004 | 2 | ear each | after third dose suddenly felt shot of breath for several minutes. Started taking Neuroten on 6th day after zithromax and had seviar anxity attack and had to call 911. | F | 3 days | 12/14/2004 |
