I have had nausea and vomiting on rare occasions due to the medication mainly when I took it without eating. | I found it helps if you eat a meal and take it about 5-10 minutes afterwards.

Constant headache, neck pain, shooting pain up the side of my head, tightness in my shoulders and at the base of my neck (all of this was worse on the left side.) muscle aches( almost like I was getting the flu.) hands and feet tingly/numb. Severe panic attacks to the point I almost went to the hospital( chest pain, felt like I couldn't get enough air, had to remind myself to breath.) lightheaded, dizzy, blurred vision on in the left eye, ears ringing, very emotional( cry for no reason at random times.) Always thinking there is something seriously wrong with me. I just don't feel like myself. I am about three weeks out from my last dose and I am still having side effects. | Hoping all side effects go away very soon. | F | 25 | 7 days 100 mg | 10/10/2015 | 1 | bacterial infection | It has been a week since I've taken the last dosage. I was prescribed these for a week and on the last day took the pill early in the morning without water and went back to bed. I woke up 4 hours later with severe burning in my throat as if the pill were stuck. I drank a bunch of water and still no relief. That day it was hard to swallow because it felt like something was partially blocking my esophagus, I tried to block out the pain thinking it would go away in a few days. The second day it felt the same way but in a lower region of my esophagus,right smack in the middle of my chest. The third day the pain moved to underneath my left breast, still when I ate it seemed as if it the food had to pass past something, and I felt discomfort and pain while it was happening, then the pain would go away after the food had passed to my stomach. Day 4 I went to the doctor, there were blood tests done but no look inside of my esophagal endoscopy was performed and the doctor concluded that since my blood work was good he figured it was just a pill that had gotten stuck and would be out within a few days. He considered I eat bigger foods to possibly push it out. I listened to him and its been exactly a week since myast dosage and I am in serious pain. I have to chew my food a ridiculously long time so that food can gently pass through and only hurt a little bit. I'm now worried that the pill isn't stuck, and that I have either an ulcer or laceration on my lower esophagus or whatever is un | F | 21 | 7 days | 10/5/2015 | 1 | Uti | Terrible heartburn like I was having a heart attack .

The third was horrible and I went through the whole death of my daughter waking up shaking and in tears!! I plan to stay up the rest of the night and speak with Dr immediately. My infection is bad so need something. | F | 30 | 1 days 100 | 10/1/2015 | 1 | Intestinal infection | Just horrible. Couldnt focus, seeing things, anxiety. Last day of scrpit; chills, painfull gas and bloating and diarrhea for 3 days. 4th day, cramping, and sweats. Never AGAIN! I have bowel issues as it is. | F | 57 | 10 days 100MGx2 | 9/28/2015 | 1 | Ear infection from sinus | Went to dr because I was dizzy. I was told it was sinus infection & my ears were stuffed. Bottom line after taking this medication for 2 days the dizziness was getting worse . Did not take it today & dizziness seems to be getting better. Horrible drug . | F | 65 | 2 days | 9/23/2015 | 1 | Reduce inflamation roseacha | My anxiety was so bad I was ready to go to the ER. I typically do not have anxiety, so this was new and very intense. I had no idea why I had the numb patches on my fingers, which also turned to intense pain at one point when I lifted something, but it came with all these other symptoms out of nowhere. I also feel like I am disconnected from my body. I am exhausted, for no reason. Even typing feels weird. I can't go to work today and I hope this passes quickly. | F | 59 | 4 days 100mg 2X day | 8/17/2015 Patient History | 1 | Reduce inflamation roseacha | Anxiety, headaches, joint pain, palpitations, nightmares, hallucinations, insomnia, head pressure, constipation, numbness in patches on fingers. | My anxiety was so bad I was ready to go to the ER. I typically do not have anxiety, so this was new and very intense. I had no idea why I had the numb patches on my fingers, which also turned to intense pain at one point when I lifted something, but it came with all these other symptoms out of nowhere. | F | 59 | 4 days 100mg 2X day | 8/17/2015 | 1 | Acne | Nausea and vomiting after first dosage. Vomiting subsided however still experience nausea. Stabbing pains in stomach even if taken with food, although I never was informed to take with food; Feeling as if I have to go to bathroom but turns out to be gas-like pains that send me into a fetal position. After air is released abdomen feels better briefly. Skin looks worse - additional breakouts. Itching deep inside ears. Was seeing blue spots before my eyes after first few doses. Just feeling sick and tired all the time. | I've never had an antibiotic like this - its been one of my worst experiences with medications. | F | 48 | 9 days 150 MG 1X day | 8/9/2015 | 2 | Sinus infection | Because I got the med late in the day I took my first dose in the evening about 1.5-2 hours after eating my dinner and sat up for about 30 minutes before going to bed (as directed). At 1:45 am I woke up feeling tightness/fullness in my chest, rapid heart rate, and very dry throat and had a full blown panic attack ending up in urgent care and need Xanax to calm down. I was told the Gastro side effects are common and to take with food and be sure to stay seated upright for a couple hours after taking it. Was also told anxiety is not a side effect. The following morning (Tuesday) I was experiencing nausea and other tummy issues, so I skipped the med that day to get my head and body straight. On Wednesday took the morning dose with plenty of water and ate some food and was upright all day and did not experience any bothersome side effects, and took my evening dose again with water and food and stayed upright for almost two hours before heading to bed/relax. Well again I woke up with pressure sensation, felt like my throat was closing up//dryness as well as side pain (felt like intestinal spasms) and anxiety and had another (less severe) panic attack which also required a Xanax to calm down. So, if you are told anxiety is not a side effect, read some other posts that are similar to mine. Weirdly the first time I took this for sinus infection I had none of these side effects other than reduced appetite. | Doubt I will take this again if I can help it. | F | 44 | 2 days 100 mg | 7/23/2015 | 3 | expose to mold | Bad dreams,going to bathroom alot | Not bad so far | M | 47 | 3 days 100mg | 7/19/2015 | 3 | Bacterial infection | Severe headaches, rubber legs and arms sensation, extreme neck pain at base of scull, dizziness that feels like a low voltage shock, mental fog | Taken with food only. A light meal did not prevent severe stomach distress (burning, nausea). It stopped the pain from the infection, suggesting it eliminated it, but the side effects are NOT worth it. There are other medications for this. | F | 54 | 9 days 100bg 2X day | 7/15/2015 | 4 | bacterial infection | Bad headaches the entire time. I had bad nightmares. Fatigue, and a increase in appetite. | you have to drink lots of water when taking this medicine. I would drink a bottle of water everytime i had to take the pill. The first time i didnt and my chest was on fire! And Do NOT TAKE on an EMPTY stomach. Every time i took the pill, i would get so Hungry. I believe the medicine did work but the headaches was hard to deal with. | F | 25 | 10 days 200mg | 7/3/2015 | 1 | To prevent infection | throat swelling, dizzy, extreme headaches, teeth hurting, sinus and eye pressure, nausea, anxiety and chest pain. | This medication makes you feel like you are going to die. If you were not feeling sick before, you will. It makes your throat feel like it is closing, and there is so much pressure in your head along with headaches that you can not think straight. Debating going to the emergency room. This is not fun. | F | 32 | 6 days 100 2X day | 7/3/2015 |
