| 2 | Bronchitis | Horrible pain and diarrhea | F | 71 | 2 days | 1/31/2017 | 1 | Cough and infection | Severe throbbing of my head,sick to my stomach,no energy.excruciating back pain,muscle spasm and weakness, shortness of breath,really sleepy. I feel exactly the same as when I went to hospital. | It also takes away your appetite. The migraine/headache is so intense and painful I end up crying because it hurts so bad. I also am dizzy when I stand up. This medicine is not a very good choice by doctors. | F | 49 | 5 days 250MG | 12/28/2016 | 4 | Inflammed gums/ may have infection | I had no side effects with this antibiotic. Everything went good and i felt fine. | At first i was extremely worried about taking it due to the reviews i read. I am deathly allergic to penicillan and this is a good alternative! It was good! No side effects. | F | 22 | 1 days 250 mg | 9/27/2016 | 4 | Ear infection | Headache, stomachache, loss of appetite, dizziness/lightheadedness | Quickly cleared up my ear infection that was causing severe vertigo and related nausea. Side effects were unpleasant, especially the persistent headache, but felt like a small price to pay to keep the room from spinning out of control whenever I moved too quickly. | F | 34 | 5 days 500 MG | 9/5/2016 | 5 | Sinus Infection, UTI | Drowsiness, Insomnia | Had a earache, severe sinus pain, bad cough.. GP called in 5 day Z-pak. on 4th day and am much better. helps brain fog greatly... bladder pain all gone also.. | F | 74 | 4 days 1X day | 8/31/2016 | 2 | chlamydia | Took the 2 gram powder 2 hours after a meal and a little over an hour, I felt like I was going to die. I violently vomited, but the doctor told me that most of the medicine was already in my system and not to worry. He told me that feeling this terrible is actually quite common with this antibiotic, especially with this high dose. I actually had to return to the hospital where I got it because I wasn't sure what was going to happen to me. I'm on day 4 and these are the symptoms I am feeling: Constant upset GI tract, stomach along with acid reflux, feeling hot, mainly in the face, feeling a little more tired than usual. I'm not experiencing diarrhea, but each time I pass stool, it feels like it is going to be diarrhea. | I will never take this medicine ever again. It has been and continues to be an absolute nightmare. I hope my GI tract hasn't been permanently damaged from this medication. If you take this antibiotic, I suggest eating a lot of probiotics, but I suggest taking minocycline instead. I took Minocycline once when I was infected with chlamydia on another occasion and it gave me no symptoms and killed of my infection. | M | 33 | 1 days 2 grams 1X day | 8/15/2016 | 1 | Chlamydia | I took the pills, there was two pills as one dosage to clear the infection. After 30 minutes of taking the pills I had severe vomiting and diarrhea. I'm laying here an hour later now with horrible stomach cramps. | Bad side effects, but I guess we have to pay for bad decisions. -.- | F | 19 | 1 days | 7/22/2016 | 1 | chlamydia | excrutiating stomach cramps, cold sweats, whole body weakness, dizziness, pins and needles from finger tips to elbows, rapid breathing, my lips turned blue | About 1 hour after taking the meds I honestly thought I was going to die, I could barely move a muscle as my body was so weak, managed to call a friend who came, after seeking medical advice I had paramedics check me over. They said I'd been unlucky and suffered rare side effects. It's now 7 hours later and am mostly fine just weak and exhausted. I tried to get up and the agonising cramps began again. Never, ever again | F | 28 | 1 days 1000 1X day | 7/15/2016 | 1 | H. Pylori Stomach Infection | I am Diabetic,have had recent Cardiac Bypass Surgery and also have Anxiety Chest Pain. I have noticed that my Anxiety pain has hugely and suddenly magnified and have been having much more General Anxiety as well. I am, in effect, nearly completely disabled from these anxiety symptoms. Also,more frighteningly, for the last 2 days have been having flippy heart rhythm and major difficulty sleeping. I have also noticed a great increase in gas. A raspy Cough has also come up now that I did not have before. | I am very much hoping that these side effects will be gone soon, as I have stopped my taking of this drug. From what I am reading here, it may or may Not do so. The Cardiac symptoms are particularly alarming and worrisome. I was told to take this for 14 days, but am stopping in the middle at 7 days in the hope that the side effects will fade away soon. | M | 56 | 250mg 1X day | 7/15/2016 Patient History | 1 | Infection | I've been having muscle pain, back pain, head ache and nausea and stomach cramps and thrush in tounge. Feeling of sickness and now my ear is hurting me | I only took 4 for 1 day and it's been a week and getting worse side effects. It's very annoying | F | 19 | 1 days 250 mg | 7/10/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | The first week had bad gas and stomach pain then started to have diarrhea that lasted months where I couldn't eat out or go out I was running for the loo.. Stopped taking drug and was sick for 5 months with loose bowels. Ended up with colonoscopy and endoscopy to rule out any other problem came back good.. Will never use drug again.. | F | 48 | 10 days | 7/6/2016 | 1 | pneumonia | The most horrible anxiety and nervousness I have ever felt while taking a medication. It has been 48 hours since my last dose and I am still feeling this way. | F | 36 | 2 days 250 mg | 5/6/2016 | 1 | ear infection | I took the first 2 pills around 130p. About 2 hours later the diarrhea started. Then about 8p that night my throat started hurting. I can't eat and it hurts to swallow. Looked at my throat and looks like I have bumps at the back of my tongue leading into my throat. | Will be going back to doctor tomorrow and will never take this again. | F | 36 | 1 days | 4/15/2016 | 2 | Bronchitis | Stomach boating, indigestion, tiredness | I have taken this medicine several times, but this time the stomach distension has been unbearable. The cough is still here, but manageable. I have started a probiotic, drinking green tea or parsley tea with raw honey and ginger, but not much relief. Ready for this to get out of my system! | F | 45 | 4 days 250 1X day | 3/27/2016 | 4 | tooth infection | Anxiousness, insomnia | I have a recurrent tooth infection and dentist is out of the office for a week. I happened to have a Zpak stashed and looked up the dosing instruction for tooth infection. 500 mg loading dose, and 250 mg per day for 5 days thereafter. I will take 2 more days and be glad to be done. It doesn't bother me too much except after I take it in the evening, then I'm anxious and kinda creeped out. Think I will take a little xanax to ease it. | F | 58 | 5 days 500/250 1X day | 3/21/2016 | 2 | Chest infection | Nausea anxiety loss of appetite lethargy | Absolutely awful drug regarding side effects but does the job it's meant to | F | 3 days 250 | 3/19/2016 | 1 | Tonsillitis | I never want to eat so I thought when I tried to eat after the second day that's why my stomach was killing me but it turns out it's the pill that's hurting my stomach. Feel like vomiting also gave me a yeast infection which are rare for me. I'm exhausted all the time. And my head aches are unbearable at times. | It used to work for me but now I guess not. | F | 19 | 6 days 500MG | 3/18/2016 | 5 | Sinus & upper respiratory infection | 2nd day after the first double dose, mild stomach upset | I've suffered from sinus infections and a few upper respiratory infections my whole life and this is the only drug I'll agree to take. Hardly any side effects and always does the job. | F | 46 | 5 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/16/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | While taking ZPack I did get a stomach ache. After the last dose I got a severe headache and start running a low-grade temperature. My entire face hurts my head my cheeks. Nothing I take for the headache helps. | Never had a problem like this with z-pack before. Especially this pounding headache that won't go away. | F | 74 | 5 days 250 mg | 3/15/2016 | 3 | Ear and throat infection | Anxiety, depression, anxious, hopeless, negative thoughts, tired, diarrhea, gas, bloat, vomit, nausea, insomnia | it was fine the 3 days but the fourth day I went into a panick attack and vomitted, I started feeling like my heart was going to jump out of my chest my heartrate was 117. I never felt this way in my life. i did not finish the 5th dose. It has been 6 days that i stopped the atb but im still having minor panick attack and depression. Im praying that it will be out if my system soon. i hear it takes 17 days for it to get excreted from your body. | 35 | 4 days 250mg | 3/3/2016 |
