sinus infection
by Reviewer16664
on July 3, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 35.0 Side effects: Days 1 and 2 experienced severe stomach cramps, vivid dreams, unable to get a full nights sleep, irritability. Day 3 - repulsive bitter taste in my mouth (what I can only compare to possibly sucking on an aspirin all night). Also an awful headache. Time taken and dosage: 10 days500 MG 1X D Review: I also thought I had taken this antibiotic for a previous infection, but now I know for sure I havent. The side-effects are the worst Ive ever experienced from any drug. The bitter taste in my mouth woke me up during the night - I thought I had accidentally put my fingers near my mouth while sleeping (I had nail polish residue on my fingertips). Brushed my teeth thinking that had to be it. Not a chance.an hour later, same thing. I then remembered my 2 year old daughter had just been on Biaxin a few weeks ago, and she kept sticking her tongue out and brushing it off with her hand and would spit. NO WONDER! Poor child. I am discontinuing this awful drug and will ask for Erythromycin - at least I know what to expect from taking that med!
MRSA ear infection

on July 3, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 38.0 Side effects: Insomnia (could only sleep in 2hr intervals), horrible taste in mouth, depression, anxiety. Time taken and dosage: 7 days 2X D Review: I had to take this for a staph infection in my ear that was resistant to other antibiotics. I would fall asleep and wake up within two hours, be up until 4 or 5 am and go back to sleep for a few more hours, it was crazy. I would have numerous crazy dreams in the short amount of time I was asleep. I started crying on the second day and was very depressed. I had anxeity when I did wake up at night. I felt like I was a walking zombie, sorta in a hungover state. If my infection was not so bad I would not have continued taking it and I didnt want to end up in the hospital on IV antibiotics.so i took it and suffered. I cant wait till its over, 1 more day!!!!

Sex: F
Age: 15.0 Side effects: for the first few days, i experienced severe stomach cramping and nausea, chest pain, dizziness, disorientation, crying for no reson appetite loss, and i couldnt sleep at night. after the first few days, slight headaches and none of the previous symptoms. Time taken and dosage: 7 days500 MG 2X W Review: i started taking biaxin for a h pylori infection in my stomach. the worse part of taking it was the symptoms for the first three days. after, i experienced only slight headaches, and i could sleep well again. i hardly experienced any stomach cramping while taking the pills for the rest of the week. i wanted to give up on taking them, but i wanted my infection to clear up, so i kept taking them. after the first few days, everything was pretty much fine. these pills are worth taking, no matter how terrible they make you feel. i just have to go back to the doctor to get an endoscopy to make sure the pills cleared up all of the infection.

Sinusitis

on June 3, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 35.0 Side effects: Lightheaded, feel like fainting, quite difficult to breathe, feels like each breath requires an effort, chest tightness, metallic taste, alot of dizziness. Time taken and dosage: 2 days500 MG 2X D Review: Initially I thought the shortness of breath and the asthma-like symptoms were due to some residual effect of my tonsillitis that turned into a sinusitis. After reading the symptoms of several people here, I noticed that quite a few people were reporting lightheadedness and difficulty breathing for it to be anecdotal. I had taken Augmentin before, and thought the side effects were unpleasant, however this is MUCH worse!

H Pylori
by Reviewer16674
on May 10, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 47.0 Side effects: Dizzines, Metal Taste in Mouth, Rapid Heart Rate, High Blood Pressure.my blood pressure would go from 120/60 to 160/100 within 10 minutes of taking it. I kept my BP monitor near me. Severe Stomach Pains, Chest Pains, Difficulty Breathing, Depression, Crying for no reason, I wanted to kill myself because of the pain it caused. Time taken and dosage: 10 days500 MG 2X D Review: April 2010, I was prescribed Biaxin for an H Pylori infection which I did not have. I was misdiagnosed. I had to take 2 500mg pills twice a day for 10 days. After day 5 days on this pill I was rushed to the Emergency room 2 times and missed work everyday I was on the pills. The bad side effects of the pills incapacitated me to where I couldnt work. My doctor took me off the pills and placed me on another regimen of pills. Which 2 days later I was told to discontinue because I did not have H Pylori. Within 3 days of being off Biaxin, I couldnt breath right and my throat was closing up on me with swelling. Biaxin killed all the good bacteria in my body and now I had to deal with Thrush a yeast infection in my mouth and lungs. Im still fighting it with probiotics, yogurt, garlic, organic cranberry juice and it is helping me out. But I thought I was going to die. I will never take Biaxin again and the company should be sued.

bronchitis/lung infection

on May 5, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 36.0 Side effects: The metallic taste, gas, fatigue. That said, I was getting fatigue from my infection, so its not that different. Im taking more naps. Time taken and dosage: 2 days1000 1X D Review: I know medication isnt for everyone, and I feel for the people with all the scary side-effects. That said, I have history of mental health issues, and its not giving me panic or depression, nor is it causing palpitations. Best of all its clearing up my sinuses, and my bodyaches and cough is nearly gone after less than two days treatment. I wouldnt be too afraid of this medication, personally, but I will take everyones advice and get some probiotics.
H Pylori

on May 4, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 46.0 Side effects: Headache, sleeplessnes, naseau, crying spells, abdominal pain, diarrea and bleeding. I came to the site to check to see if bleeding was a side effect of the medicine. I appear to be the only one. However, the emotional effects could be causing the bleeding. Time taken and dosage: 14 days500 2X D Review: Although I do not like the side effects, I want the bacteria to be gone so I will trust that the doctors have prescribed this for me and I will eventually be ok.

acne/rosacea
by Reviewer16679
on May 2, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 58.0 Side effects: Painful speech, swallowing, choking off upon speaking. Incapacitated now because of symptoms. Time taken and dosage: 3 years250 mg. 1X D Review: First, it was an inappropriate drug choice for my condition. I took it with probiotics for several years without a problem, right before going to bed. When I ran out of the probitotics, I delayed buying more. Im not sure how much time passed; maybe a couple of months. After singing a bit out of my range one night, (Im a performer,) I developed serious pain upon any kind of vocalization, far longer than should have occured. Months went by without change. My ENT was confused, but said that voice strain couldnt have caused so much damage. (I saw a voice coach who couldnt understand it either.) The doctor tentatively diagnosed acid relux, which Id never had before. I spent three months on Kapidex (now renamed Dexellent,) and was greatly improved. Then I sang out of range again and totally relapsed. Was improving on Dexellent when I was placed on doxycline for something else, and now my voice is worse than ever. That was several months ago. I havent spoken in over 10 days; its just too painful. Cant socialize with friends or go anywhere. I suspect Biaxin either burned my throat or created reflux or yeast problems. I just hope I can heal again, or my life is pretty much over. Never take any antibiotic without acidophilus/probiotics, and never take them before bed. Always drink a full glass of water. 
chest infection
by Reviewer16680
on April 26, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 40.0 Side effects: Unpleasant taste, but worth putting up with. Some insomnia during first couple of days of course which subsequently subsided. Time taken and dosage: 7 days500 2X D Review: Im taking Abbot branded Claricid which is a coated form of clarithromycin, I believe this is similar drug to Biaxin. I had a very congested chest, heavy and very irritable cough, was started on amoxicillin by my doc but after 3 days my chest was getting worse so went back and was prescribed Claricid. Started feeling some improvement after 2nd day on claricid, and quite a lot better by day 5, still have 2 days left in course. Have still got some irritable cough but my chest much better than a few days ago. Ive been eating one or two kingsize pots of live yoghurt each day throughout the course, Ive had no diarrhea. I am pleased I was prescribed this medicine, its helped my chest infection a lot. Bit shocking to read all the bad reviews on here though!

Terrible Lethergy, depression, felt like i was being pelted by a professional boxer in the solar plexus at times - But there were also moments where the sun peeked through the clouds, felt good and kept me going! Time taken and dosage: 14 days500 mg 2X D Review: To hell and back, but definately worth it - i almost quit because i actually felt worse before i got better - then 2 days after my 2 week therapy - WOW!!!, i finally rid myself of the 2 year funk i was in!!! If you can stand it, please try to stick it out - you might be suprised at the results! I got my life back!!!! Now ive switched over to the homeopathic makula honey/mastic - just to be safe - I shant go thru that ordeal again - i tell you for sure.
Upper respiratory infection
by Reviewer16683
on April 20, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 29.0 Side effects: I took (2) 500 MG pills once a day for 7 days and I will never take this pill again. I felt spaced out most of the time I was taking it. I would get severe sharp pains in my stomach and when I would try to eat my stomach would burn and I would start to feel nauseated. The taste in my mouth was horrible. My dad had the exact same side effects. I toughed it out and took the pills all 7 days but Im still having upper respiratory problems. Time taken and dosage: 7 days500MG 1X D Review:

For an abscess on my lower back
by Reviewer16685
on April 16, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 24.0 Side effects: Sleeplessness, pounding heart (wondered if I was having a heart attack), inability to relax, depression, mood swings, and many other side effects. Experienced most of the side effects named on the label. Time taken and dosage: 6 weeks 1X D Review: I will never, ever, ever touch this poison again. It should be permanently removed from the market. Simply experiencing side effects was not the worst part of it. After a year and a half of being off these pills, Im still experiencing problems with my heart that often interferes with my sleep (this started from day one that I began taking the pills and has continued ever since, even though I have been long off of them). I just got pregnant, and my midwife is advising me to get an EKG even though Im only 24 years old, because the side effects are still having serious repercussions on my body. ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR SOMETHING ELSE. REFUSE BIAXIN. BOYCOTT IT!!!!
H pylori infection
by Reviewer16686
on April 12, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 47.0 Side effects: Dizziness/disorientation, metallic taste in mouth, poor sleep, racing heart, chronic headache. Time taken and dosage: 14 days500 mg 2X D Review: I have been on this medicine previously for sinus infections so I knew what I was getting into--thought very strange that an antibiotic could cause these types of reactions--particularly to my mental state/sleep.However, the cure FAR outways the illness--was vomiting non-stop for three weeks prior to this and lost 20 pounds in three weeks. Have been on short-term diability for a month due to H pylori.so fortunately, I do not have to work while dealing with these symptomsAs mentioned before, probiotics and lots of yogurt have kept the GI symptoms mostly at bay.
Pharyngeal infection
by Reviewer16687
on April 10, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 22.0 Side effects: HORRIBLE bitter taste in my mouth. The only thing that helped was drinking diet soda because the artificial sweetener overpowered the bitter taste. Hunger and slight nausea. Trouble sleeping thought I didnt have any horrible dreams, just tossing and turning. Time taken and dosage: 10 days500mg 2X D Review: 
Sinus Infection
by Reviewer16688
on April 9, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 25.0 Side effects: Sleeplessness, horrible taste in mouth (cant get rid of it no matter how many times I brush my teeth), nausea, migranes/headaches, slight anxiety, inability to concentrate, abdominal discomfort and pressure, and the worst indigestion Ive had in my life. Biaxin has helped a little bit with my sinus infection and post-nasal drip, but the side effects are making me just as miserable, if not more, as I was when my sinus infection was at its worst. Time taken and dosage: 3 days500 mg 2X D Review: Im only on day 3 out of the prescribed 15 days. I dont think I can handle the side effects for much longer so Im contacting my doctor for an alternative.
Bronchitis
by Reviewer16689
on April 9, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 38.0 Side effects: Nausea. Unease. Panic attack. Extreme fatigue.Would NOT recommend. Time taken and dosage: 1 days1000 1X D Review: Horrible, very potent antibiotic. If you absolutely need to take BIAXIN (I was on Biaxin XL, 2 pills once daily) please buy a probiotic like BIO-K to replenish the flora in your intestines and lessen the side effects. This is suggested for all antibiotics, but for Biaxin I think its absolutely necessary. Very good probiotics are expensive but it will lessen the side effects and mitigate the fact that the antibiotic is killing every bit of good bacteria in your body, which can result in some of the very scary side effects. If you can, do what I did and ask your doctor for something else - there is always an alternative antibiotic. I dont know why they continue to prescribe this, I suppose it is effective at killing bad bacteria, but it seems to be too strong. No other antibiotic that ive researched (amoxycillin, penicillin, cefprozil, Azithromycin aka Zithromax or z-pack) has nearly as many horrendous reviews- 3 people have actually died and about 30 were hospitalized in the recent past. Biaxin XL seems better than regular Biaxin, and the generic sounds like POISON. Do your research, but with my experience and readings, I would go with something else right away, DO NOT WAIT for more intense side effects, and NEVER GIVE BIAXIN TO A CHILD, NEVER. Please take probiotics if you are on antibiotics, if you cant afford them, buy yogurt and eat it constantly - starting about 3 hours after your antibiotic Good luck and warmest wishes for good health.
SINUS INFECTION
by Reviewer16690
on April 8, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 29.0 Side effects: Horrible bitter taste in my mouth, dry mouth, had so much trouble sleeping even though I was so tired, my heart was beating so hard and I was shaking, felt like an anxiety attack, was in a horrible irriatable mood, had trouble getting my eyes to focus, sick to my stomach. Time taken and dosage: 10 days500mg 2X D Review: I could not figure out what was causing this but I am so glad I found this website I was really starting to get worried. Now that I know all of this has been because of the medicine I will never take it again. I have chronic sinus infections and I am really now considering talking to my Dr. about surgery. Doing this once every or every other month is just not worth it.

on April 4, 2010
Sex: M
Age: 36.0 Side effects: Had a minor metallic taste after a few days of taking it, very mild lightheadedness at times, mild nausea, and after the 7th day some mild stomach cramps and mild diahrrea began. Time taken and dosage: 7 days500mg 2X D Review: Using Biaxin XL, took with food and used acidophilus capsules daily. Currently still experiencing mild stomach cramps and mild diarrhea but it seems to be dissapating slowly. Using immodium AD if I need to go places.
Walking pneumonia
by Reviewer16692
on April 3, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 47.0 Side effects: bloating first day with mild metallic taste after taking pill; vomiting, nausea, increased bowel movements, and continuous metallic taste next two days Time taken and dosage: 3 days500 mg 2X D Review: Although this drug seems to be clearing up my pneumonia symptoms, vomiting as a result of a drug is not something any sick person should have to endure. The metallic taste likely contributed to my nausea. I tried masking it in numerous ways, none of which helped longer than a few minutes: mints, cinnamon gum, fireballs (super strong cinnamon candies), citrus candies, pretzels, lemonade, lemon in water, pomegranate juice, and salt water mouth rinse. I slept one night with cinnamon gum under my tongue. After seeing only 6 people of 813 people currently on this site refer to vomiting, I called my doctor, whos now switching me over to erythromycin - thank goodness.

Sex: F
Age: 25.0 Side effects: Metal taste in mouth, light headedness, sleepless nights, shaky, extreme thirst even with constant water flow, mild diarrhea, mild stomach discomfort. Time taken and dosage: 10 days500 mg 2X D Review: I have taken this medication in the past for ear infections and bronchial infections. It has worked. After only one day of taking the medication for my sinus infection, my sinus pressure and headaches were eliminated. This is one of two antibiotics that doesnt give me yeast infections, so added bonus here. I did experience feelings of hunger and pain in my stomach even though I had eaten. Medicine did reduce my hunger. Side effects are moderate, but tolerable. I am still willing to take this medicine again.

Sinus Infection
by Reviewer16700
on March 4, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 6.0 Side effects: My 6 year old has had so many allergic reactions to antibiotics there isn’t much we can give her these days. As soon as she started taking it our family of 5(3kids)and teacher noticed facial spasms/arms stretching in upward motion over head. Our pediatric specialist called them ticks because we kept her on it for a week trying to get her health better (symptoms of illness were going away), it now sadly it seems to be permanent tic and we are being referred to a ped. neurologist. I am so sad my little girl now opens and stretches her eyes & mouth open several times ea. time she does the act of this tick. She also stretches her arms up over her head while doing it. At first she didn’t know she was doing it and now she cries and says she has to, I cant stop doing it. It seems to be more frequent while doing homework & watching TV. I gave her 2tsp benadryl at bed time and it seems to have decreased the volume of ticks but not length. Time taken and dosage: 1 weeks 2X D Review: I also took Biaxin numerous times(im female ages 27-30) and I was really sick to my stomach, but it did help my illness, so my dr kept giving it to me. I NOW have really bad GI problems!!! No ONE IN MY FAMILY IS ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS DRUG. I BLOCKED IT THROUGH MY TARGET PHARMACY AS AN ALLERGY SO BY MISTAKE WE CAN NEVER GET IT, EVEN IF A DR. CALLS SOMETHING IN FOR US. I SUGGEST.doing ur research on every drug now that this has happened to my baby girl.if I would have found this RATINGS PAGE before. I would have NEVER given it to her OR TAKEN IT MYSELF!!!!! Not worth the chance of an PERMANANT allergic reaction THIS BAD!

Age: 45.0 Side effects: Metallic taste in mouth within an hour of taking, tingling and numbness in the face/jaw area, anxiety symptoms, sleeplessness. Strange out-of-it feeling. I had thought all this was due to the cough medicine I was taking & after stopping that I realized (with only one more dose left) that it may be from the Biaxin & thats when I found this site. Thank you for helping me pin point the effects of this medicine. Time taken and dosage: 10 days500 mg 2X D Review: Biaxin did get rid of bronchitis & sinus infection, but I will definitely not take this medicine again.

Age: 30.0 Side effects: Horrible bitter taste in mouth, lethargy, weird feeling, feel disoriented at times, deep heavy breathing. Time taken and dosage: 3 days500 mg 2X D Review: Im really glad I found this site. I was a bit concerned about the side effects. Im on my 3rd day of taking this. I did not notice any of these side effects until yesterday. I took my second dose last night and I felt completely out of it. I was very very quiet (which is rare for me) and I had this weird awkward, unexplainable feeling inside. Then when I fell asleep, about couple hours later, I woke up with this horrible horrible taste in my mouth! I kept trying to spit out the taste and brushed my teeth again, but it was still there. I tried drinking some juice, but it made the taste and swallowing even worse! Im on day 3 now and I took my first dose this morning. Again, the horrible taste is in my mouth, I feel extremely fatigued and lost in space. Im now feeling a strong sense of anxiety, but Im trying my best to not think about it too much. Im getting ready to call my doctor to discontinue this med & to prescribe something else. I DO NOT like this medication.

Heres what helps: sucking on hard candy, eating or drinking, sucking on ice chips, chewing gum. Not great, but it keeps my mouth being unbearably bitter. Too bad you cant eat 24/7!

Age: 37.0 Side effects: I was given Biaxin for a sinus infection. I had already been given the Z pack two times but still have the infection. The first day of taking it I had lots of gas, and diarrhea. I took a imodium and that helped the diarrhea. The next day I woke up and was weakand so depressed. I took another with food and I started having bad stomach cramps. By the evening I was crying and leaning over the trash can trying to vomit but could not because I was not able to eat all day. I havent taken anymore of the pills I am feeling better but I still feel a burn in my stomach. Time taken and dosage: 2 days500 2X D Review:

Age: 24.0 Side effects: I experienced extreme fatigue, tingling body sensations. Doctor gave me this drug even though it interacted with my other drug I was taking (Zeldox).

Would caution others with a mental illness taking this to make sure it doesnt interact with your medication! BE CAREFUL! Time taken and dosage: 5 days? 3X D Review: I hate Biaxin, it has ruined my body. I cannot eat dairy, red meat, whole fruit, and caffiene now thanks to my stupid doctor.
