I was prescribed Biaxin XL 1000mg x7 days for a possible secondary bronchial infection (I have had the flu and am coughing up beige sputum). I took the medicine for the first time last night. I made sure to drink yogurt along with it and took it with food as I was worried about GI effects. Wow! Within 2 hours I had major episodes/waves of severe nausea, stomach gurgling/hunger. I definitely developed a dry mouth and metallic taste. I became lightheaded (this is still going on the next day) and dizzy. I feel spaced out completely. Last but not least I had a really bad nightmare last night. I do not ever have nightmares!!! I am an RN, so I am not a "crazy" patient having psychosomatic symptoms. I am never taking this drug again unless my very life depends on it. I will take my chances and let my body heal naturally. Awful drug.

My 2 yr old son was prescribed omnicef for an ear infection. I will never give him this drug again. Severe diarreah, horrible diaper rash, I could hear his little stomach gurgling and then boom!!! Explosive BM and screams to go with it and he woke up in middle of the night very angry throwing things. There has got to be something else. This drug should not be given to children!

I was taking Wellbutrin for about 2weeks (i had taken for about 7yrs previously) from Effexor because of sexual side effects. The Welbutrin worked to get rid of that problem and my Dr in the hospital warned me about generic Budeprion, but my regular PA-C said that the 150's were different and made by Glaxo. Huh???? Like an idiot i got the generics and 5 days later I feel like i have no anti-depressant in me. Im having panic like "emotional attacks" where i just cry if I hear or see something that triggers an emotion, sleeplessness (i don't need any more of that), weight loss (what's food and why is my stomach gurgling) and over all lethargy. I hate this drug, its useless beyond belief, I really wonder who got paid at the FDA to pass this one through.
