| 1 | Sinus infection | SEVERE ANXIETY! First day it caused severe stomach cramps and diarrhea, and then anxiety. I went through and took 3 doses and I was terrified. I can't move around without getting anxious. This was worse than my withdrawal from Prozac. I get very anxious from just standing up too long. My heart is beating rapidly. I had to discontinue use bc I couldn't take it anymore. I'm still dealing with intense fear. It's been 10 days and my anxiety is still terrible.

I really done got scared because I have two children I want to be here for and I feel like when I get some type of hope I feel bad again.. please someone tell me how long this actually takes to get out of your system I had to take a Motrin for the chills because I do not know what is happening to my body. now. | F | 30 | 3 days 250 1X day | 7/25/2020 | 3 | Possible infection somewhere. | high pulse rate at times. Bad anxiety and heart palpitations. 1 week after finishing it I've dealing with strange feeling in my chest and bad insomnia. Sad thing my complaints to my doctor about how I was feeling before taking this medicine, some of the side effects are exactly the same. | Its really hard to say if it has helped me yet. I hate not being able sleep. Many times I feel very tired but only toss and turn through most of the night. Hoping side effects will wear off soon . | M | 53 | 5 days Not sure. 1X day | 7/21/2020 | 2 | Sore throat | Anxiety and rapid and pounding heart beat brain dogs and depression | I felt ok the first two days, the third day I my stomach started to hurt and my bowl movement had turned green I had headaches and thought I was losing my mind! I am only supposed to take this for five days but I stopped on the fourth I can not take it nomore my heart feel like it is about to pound out of me this is also during covid-19 which they suspected I had but I didn't. Hell it makes you scared to even go to the doctor because all symptoms are related to covid | F | 38 | 5 days 500mg 1X day | 7/15/2020 | 1 | Respiratory | I've had horrible anxiety and panic attacks. It's been 17 days since my last dose and my anxiety is manageable. However, I've lost weight, my poop is yellow, I'm extremely tired, I'm trying not to be on any meds anymore for any reason. Can anyone tell me if they have had yellow poop as a result of this? And how long did it last? I had an ultrasound on my gallbladder, pancreas, and liver. That were normal..blood tests are normal. I've changed to a low fat diet and idk what to do anymore. | F | 30 | 4 days 1X day | 7/14/2020 | 1 | Urethritis | Let me say first off, I rarely take any medication. I believe in the body healing itself with proper food, nutrition, & herbal remedies. However, I took one dose of Azithromycin for a continuous case of bacterial related urethritis. One dosage is 4pills of 250mg - at one time.. Which seemed better than most other Antibiotics with a longer dosage. The first night after taking the meds, I noticed my heart rate was up way faster & louder than normal.. I had insomnia and couldn't sleep at all. I even noticed my vision was blurry at random times the next day. Day 2- 15 the anxiety kicked in... I've never felt anything so horrible. Z-Packs stay in your body for at least 16-20days, and I felt the side effects closer to 30+ days. | MY LIFE SAVER: Motherwort & Hawthorn Herbs!!! For those dealing with any anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, or insomnia, please please please look into these herbal remedies. They have been used for hundreds of years and almost every natural food store will carry varieties of them. Ive been using the liquid tincture form for almost 2weeks and all of my side effects are gone. 1full dropper of each when I wake up & when I go to bed. My heart beat is back to normal and I can exercise with no shortness of breath. The anxiety is gone. And I finally have my life back. Keep your head up & avoid Pharmaceuticals when you can. They are EVIL and only hurt your body in the long run!! | M | 30 | 1 days 1000mg 1X day | 7/10/2020 | 4 | Sinus infection | The first time I took the full course of antibiotics for my sinus infection. I didn't have any symptoms and felt much better. 3 months later my infection came back and my doctor prescribed another zpack...I'm currently on on day 1 ..I took 500 mg ..2 hours later my stomach started hurting really bad. A few hours after that I had violent diarrhea. And gas...Every medicine has side affects. I think I feel bad because I didn't eat anything. I'm not sure. Hopefully day 2 is better than today. 🙏🏿 | F | 36 | 5 days 250 a day | 6/28/2020 | 1 | Respiratory / bacterial infection | I started taking this medicine because of a suspected bacterial infection in lungs. Although my chest pain and breathing was alleviated, In the beginning I was just agitated, sleepy, angry, I noticed changes in my emotions, I called my dr and was told it wasn't the meds. So I kept taking it. By the fourth day I was down right delirious, I thought my kids were dying, I thought my family was dying, I thought I was dying. I've gone to the ER twice because of these thoughts, I am having brain fog, diarrhea, don't feel like myself, extreme panic and anxiety, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, insomnia, and muscle twitches. The ER Dr told me to stop taking it which I had one dose left. So I haven't taken it again in 40 hours. Than the Dr gaslighted me by saying I never had an infection and never needed the meds in the first place. So than I obviously asked why they prescribed me an antibiotic if I didn't need one? & if that was the case why not just give me amoxicillin. He had no answer. Just gave me Adivan and sent me home. 6 hours later I woke up with the same symptoms legs shaking, panic, delirium, went to the ER again, was told again it was just a panic attack, told me to follow up with my therapist, prescribed anxiety meds, was given Benedrhyl in an IV, heart rate, blood pressure etc all went down, than when it started to wear off I called the nurse and told her my symptoms | Do not take this medicine for any reason! | F | 30 | 5 days | 6/28/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection | I managed the duration but RIGHT after finishing it, I started getting tightness in the chest, heaviness in the chest, on and off, and increasing breathing issues which lasted a month and a half. My chest xray and ekg were fine as was blood oxygen level...after much self care, vitamin e, vitamin d, vitamin c throughout the day and night (up to 7000 mg all in all), gingko biloba, cod liver oil, fresh fruits and veggies, daily fresh ginger shots, turmeric shots, cold pressed green juices, etc. I finally feel ok...am waiting for testing at pulmonologist ( all this happened during covid lockdown, so only getting around to that now) Even if it is asthma. I firmly believe that this antibiotic did it. I went through hell with the waves of breathing issues, and all that research for self care was a full time job. I will never take this again! | 62 | 5 days 250 | 6/14/2020 | 1 | Upper respiratory infections | I can't explain briefly about this medication .. I was taking az3500 for 5 days .. since 1st dose I wasn't able to sleep at nights , waking up in middle . All negative racing thoughts , sometime severe anxiety couldnt focus on what i m doing , restlessness , irritability panic attacks .. I don't know it's been 3 days after my last dose .. completely experiencing all these symptoms can't sleep till now . Please tell your doctor to change the antibiotic coz this drug is hilarious. | M | 23 | 5 days 500mg | 6/10/2020 |
