 1  Bronchitis Extreme Anxiety, Panic attacks and downright terror I took the "ZPack" for a bronchial infection. Soon after my first dose I noticed an increasing feeling of anxiety, and was not able to sleep at at all. By the third day I was in full blown psychotic panic mode. It was the most frightening thing I have ever been through. Dealing wth something like that in your own head is unbelievable. I have had normal levels of anxiety in the past, but nothing like this. I did have the good fortune to go on line and look up the side effects, and found numerous comments of people having exactly the same reaction. Knowing this helped even through the fog of the reaction. I stopped taking the medication, and in a couple of days it has mostly passed, but I am still feeling exhausted by the experience. I called the doctor, and they contacted the supplier, and were told that this can be a reaction, even if rare, to the medication. If you even start to feel anxious after starting this medication STOP IMMEDIATELY! Believe me, you and your family do not want to go through this! In my case, it has subsided, so it should help to know that if you are having the same issue, in your case it probably will as well. People seem to have different experiences with how long it takes for the effects to recede, but in my case it hasn't been too long. M 65 4 days

 1  Respiratory infection I am very sensitive to any odors and when exposed to a newly painted and carpeted exercise center I got sick and then an infections set it, I was worse. Dr. recommended this to help get the infection out. It did not help. Instead I experienced ....severe weakness, no strength walk even 10 feet without stopping to catch my breath. It took 3 months for me to slowly get back to my regular strong self, walking fast keeping up with whatever needed to be done around the house. Read later that this should not be prescribed for those over 60 since it causes heart muscle problems. Have since read lots of antibiotics cause irregular heartbeat, weakness and even heart attacks.

 1  Bronchitis This was absolutely the worst drug on planet Earth. It caused me to feel Doom and Gloom at first, and then it caused a crippling anxiety that I could not get rid of on my own. I was prescribed a bunch of different anxiety medications, and none of them worked. Nothing worked until I did amino acid therapy. I luckily had a friend that was a homeopath, and she suggested this to me. It's saved my life. I was unable to go to school and I was unable to work when this drug hit me, but I was able to get it all back after the amino acid therapy. The anxiety is awful, you shouldn't feel this way anymore, find a homeopath in your area and get that amino acid therapy. It worked for me despite my disbelief! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I will post on here every now and again to let others know about the amino acid therapy throughout the years. I took it in 2008, and I was an okay until 2010. I don't want to scare anybody, but it really took a toll on my life. This drug is evil. Get on amino acids right now! You will be feeling better within 2 months. That sounds like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the years of crippling anxiety I suffered on account of this drug. Evil drug. I wish it could be banned or that we may bring a lawsuit to these people! However, .2% of people experience these symptoms and it does say that in the fine print. If you were like me you were one of the lucky two out of a thousand people that get this. I'm so sorry for anyone going through this. Please email me! F 38 5 days

 2  Sinus infection Dizziness, bad headache, nausea, vomitting, chills Took it for a minor sinus infection but I think I could have cured the infection using a different drug. Azithromycin is too strong for my body. Everyday felt very agonizing and painful; I was dizzy, got some bad headache, felt nausea, and even vomited once. I also got chills that made me feel like I was coming down with a fever, though there was no fever. I took the entire dose and still suffering from the side effects. I am just praying hour by hour, day by day for this the drug to leave my system forever. F 28 5 days

 3  Bronchitis/ sinus infection Lower back pain, Severe anxiety, light sensitivity, fatigue, loose stools All antibiotics have bad side effects for me but azithromycin is better than most in my opinion. Only having to take the poision for 5 days is better than the 7-10 for most antibiotics. Good luck M 28 5 days

 5  Throat infection Diarrhea; intermittent pain/pressure/tightening feeling in and around sternum area, throughout ribcage area under chest. Diarrhea began a couple of hours after taking first dose (2 pills day 1; 1 pill for four days thereafter). A few bouts over the course of a half hour or so, then returned after eating. Nothing abnormal since (though I have only taken one dose at this point). Pain/squeezing feeling is a little disconcerting - not sure what it is, maybe gas pressure? I've taken this medication before and recall similar symptoms so I'm not overly worried but it is uncomfortable. This medication has always helped eradicate infection for me and so far the side effects have been tolerable. I would take again and recommend. My doctor suggested I take a probiotic with this medication so I am trying Align. F 43 5 days
