 1  Toe infection Extreme hunger even after eating, slight naseua The hunger was horrible. I would eat and eat and eat and still be in severe pain because of hunger. And yet I couldn't get myself to eat very much when I did get like this. It kept me up at night and as a college student, I can't be staying up all night before an 8am class. F 18 2 days

 4  Infective mastitis I experienced one night of agonising upper stomach pain, diarrhoea and sleeplessness. Curled on bathroom floor, getting up only to tend to baby. Then I took pro-biotics (about 3am) and forcé fed myself yoghurt. Once I eventually fell asleep (about 5am) I woke up feeling A LOT better. My stomach was still weird but I could function. Apparently it's best to take the pro-biotic an hour away from an erythromycin dose. Dr lowering the dose from day 5. Looking forward to that! I was SO ill with the mastitis and the erythro got on top of the worst of it in 18 hrs. I'm allergic to penicillin & have had erythro before, but not at such a high dose. It's an effective drug but would have been helpful to have been warned by my Dr of the side effects. It's also affecting baby's tummy as i'm breastfeeding - poor guy, but he isn't in pain. I hope he gets the probiotics too! F 37 10 days

 1  Folliculitis Intense stomach cramps, lower back pain radiating to my left side, diarrhoea (on an empty stomach...how?!), nausea and frequent wind!! For the love of God, avoid these tablets!! I was prescribed these to take 2 tablets, 4 times a day (250mg per tablet/2000mg per day). I have only taken two doses so far (so, 4 tablets/1000mg) and I'm stopping them immediately! The side effects are NOT WORTH the pain and discomfort. In this day and age, there has got to be a more suitable alternative to this awful drug!! F 27 1 days

 3  bad throat infection I have had awful heart palpitations, feeling very sick like I have a real bad flu, muscles are very weak and I feel like i can hardly move sometimes. I been feeling really dizzy and off balance. And having some anxiety issues, and my eyes feel funny like they hurt and i am nauseous and have pain in my stomach and bad diarrhea every time I take it. And I have to take 500mg 4 times a day for 10 days I will I ever get threw this? It has helped my throat so far because the penicillin made it worst. But the side effects make me feel like I never want to take this ever again. So scary and makes you feel like your heart will stop and your gonna die! F 40 3 days

 1  Doctor's error. Inappropriate drug. Couldn't breathe. Body swelled up. Heart arrhythmia. Utter panic. Digestive system ceased to function, couldn't eat or drink. Lost sensation in my skin. Rash. Bruising. Went stone cold deaf. Rectal haemorrhaging. Long-term total insomnia, nightmares. Loss of vision. Dizzy, loss of balance. And more. I ended up in hospital, where I was then given the wrong treatment which injured me further. Spent three more YEARS in hospital, then convalescence. Ten years to recover from the whole episode. Appalling, vicious drug, I don't know how I'm still alive. My hearing came back, but for some people it does not. Do not take this drug. It can, and does, kill. The doctors pretend it's 'safe'. They don't tell you about the harm it can cause. They should. F 47 14 days

 1  Tonsillitus (pen allergy) Vomiting (I struggle with this anyway due to long term use of acid blockers in my teens, and so it tends to be more like when a cat vomits, and incredibly painful), extreme stomach cramps - all day, particularly bad during the night. I'm on my second day of taking them, after having been back to the doctor due to spending the first night vomiting and being told to "continue and perservere as there's nothing else we can give you", I have spent 3.5 hours of last night vomiting and the diarrhoea started. I have been taking them around half an hour after eating and taking a buccal tablet (as recommended by the doctor, but am going to try to take them an hour before eating to see if it helps. My tonsillitus is easing after only 6 doses (it should have been 12 by now, but I couldn't manage the first two days properly), so I shall persevere, but I am hoping that next time I get tonsillitus, they will just remove them as I'd rather have surgery than go through this again.

 1  Tonsillitis Vomiting, awful nausea - could not take head out of loo, worst diarrhoea of my life, stomach cramps, stomach rumbles like I was hungry (but had absolutely no appetite) Was prescribed because I'm allergic to Penicillin. Fair play to them, they work well and quickly, but the side effects are definitely not even worth it! Side effects started after I'd been takinf them for 24 hours, the nausea but not being sick is awful, just constant gagging. Had to go back to doctors day after being on them as I could not take it. DO NOT TAKE. F 19 7 days

 1  Tonsillitis Gagging Throwing up Food not being kept down Ear Ache Coughing Stomach cramps Diorhea Etc. I would not recommend to anyone regardless the reason behind taking these. Was prescribed anti-biotics two weeks ago for tonsillitis, did the 10 day course of 2 tablets 4 times a day. Worked like a gem and had finished the course on Sunday. Woke up Wednesday (13th) morning with tonsillitis yet again. GP said I shouldn't be prescribed the same tablets again as I could become Emune to these quite quickly which is fair enough!! However I was prescribed Erythromycin 250MG Gastro-resistant tablets on the 13th, day 1 was ok no side effects, day 2 Thursday (14th) nothing was kept down. Throwing up every hour, diorhea in between sessions. I could go on but I think you get the picture. I would never take these vile tablets again as I was warned I would experience some stomach cramps but not this bad!! F 18 2 days

 1  Tonsillitis Awful cramps beneath my rib cage that felt like hunger initially but then became unbearable. Retching and felt like I was going to be sick but wasn't. Hot and cold sweats. Couldn't sleep for the pain and restlessness ... Ended up in a duvet crying on the bathroom floor feeling pathetic ... I don't do pathetic. Will never take these again ... Currently about to go through night two of these symptoms as I have only just realised the link. Attempting to lessen side effects with bio yogurt (read online this works) and hoping for the best but the waves of hunger like pains are starting same as yesterday. These tablets should be banned. They are awful. F 30 2 days
