Zithromax must have f* up my normal flora. | M | 29 | 4 days 500/250 | 6/16/2015 | 2 | Acne | Lightheaded nausea and dizziness felt really unwell like i was going to throw up also very tired | M | 19 | 5 days 500mg | 6/12/2015 | 4 | Std | Constant abdominal pain and cramps. This is the 4th day since my single dose and I fe awful. I keep hoping it will get better, but the abdominal pain is never ending. I don't have diarrhea like many others do, almost worse I can't poop. Exhausted and moody, my appetite is gone but I constantly feel sick from not eating. | Overall I hope to never need this medication again. The experience is absolutely god awful | F | 22 | 1 days 1000 | 6/9/2015 | 5 | severe sore throat | Abdominal pain. diarhea.headaches. vaginal itching vaginal discharge | Cleared my throat infection but side effects are horrible | F | 34 | 5 days 250 | 5/30/2015 | 3 | Acute sinus infection | stomach pain and cramping, loose stools | I had stomach pain on the first and second days of taking this (the first dose was 2 pills) and I had pretty immediate stomach pain. Not really cramping or urgency, just pain. The pain continued intermittently for the next few days while I finished up the z pak. I also had loose stools, which was unpleasant. I counteracted by taking probiotics each day and ate yogurt with live cultures in it. This helped make the symptoms less severe. My sinus infection didn't even start feeling better until the 3rd day and wasn't totally cleared up until a few days after I finished the course. It has not come back in the month since I've been done, though. All in all, it worked, but the side effects were kind of unpleasant. | F | 20 | 4 days 1X day | 4/14/2015 | 3 | Resistant Strep. infection | frequent diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, severe dizziness, painful bowel movements. | I started Azithromycin after Omnicef was ineffective at treating my strep throat. I had little symptoms while taking it, but after the dosage ended I am going through HELL. The stomach pains are comparable to a stomach virus, and it's a constant change between diarrhea and constipation. I pray my symptoms are short lived because it is unbearable sometimes. | F | 23 | 5 days 500 | 3/21/2015 | 1 | Possible respiratory infection | Intermittent pain just below my sternum. From 3 seconds to two minutes of intense pain. Occurring between 12 and 20 minutes apart. Lasted for 10 hours. I believe it was gas that pushed on my intestines, causing the pain. There is no way I will take again. Developed diarrhea within 6 hours. Drinking kefir and yogurt. | Very potent stuff. I do not recommend. | F | 52 | 1 days 250 1X day | 3/3/2015 | 3 | Ear Infection | Serious digestive discomfort after 2 days. Took for 3 days, skipped a day due to the extreme digestive discomfort, then took 1 more dose. Took probiotics, which eased the discomfort somewhat, but not enough. I think I've had enough, as the digestive issues are back again after dose 4. | F | 44 | 4 days 500 mg 1X day | 2/16/2015 | 1 | Uti | Lightheaded heart hurting feeling like I was going to died after 4mouths still can't eat as much | These meds are bad I took only 2 on the first day after that my life has changed I lost 20pds can really do much I look sicker then a dog | M | 21 | 1 days 1000 | 12/27/2014 | 2 | Upper respritory infection | I got crippling anxiety, nausea, light headedness, loss of appetite, hot and cold flashes, racing heart, tingling sensation in chest, gas and diarrhea. | It cleared up my infection but wow did the side effects make me wish I just let the infection run it's natural course.

I could go on and on and on and on! | I am never taking this again, this is only the first two hours & I feel like I'm dying so I am terrified of what's to come.

I'm never taking this shit again... | M | 24 | 1 days 2pills | 6/30/2014 | 1 | Bronchitis | Minor chest pains, fatigue, cramping, diarrhea, loose stool | It cured my bronchitis but about 3 days after I finished taking the drug I started having trouble with my bowels. Lots of cramping and diarrhea, loose stools(very smelly). It's been 4 months now and it's still not back to normal although I am controlling it somewhat by adding more fiber to my diet and taking a probiotic. Still looking for a permanent solution. | M | 43 | 5 days 250mg 5X day | 6/18/2014 | 1 | bronchitis | extreme lightheadedness and dizziness for 6 hrs per day - midday | F | 55 | 4 days 250 mg 1X day | 4/16/2014 |
