I have been taking biaxin for 8 days for a URI and a sinus infection. The metalic taste in my mouth is awful. I taste it all day and night. I can't sleep good. It takes hours and hours to fall asleep. I have been very depressed. I didn't even want to be around my husband. I felt strange feelings about him. Like he just gets on my nerves, etc.... I am very tired all the time. I am not a napper, but have been finding myself just wanting to lay in bed and try and fall asleep during the day. This morning I woke up with a terrible stomach ache and has been hurting all day. I have 5 pills left and have decided to stop taking them. I thought I would go online and find out if this is what is making my stomach hurt. I am shocked about what I read. At the time time I am relieved to know that the depression and imsomnia are due to this drug. I will call my doctor tomorrow and let him know that I will not take this again.

I had the exact same thing happen to me today. i called the doctor and asked him if i should still take the medication since i felt worst them i did with the sinus infection. I was hoping he would say i could stop but he said it was very important for me to keep taking them and that i could take gravel ect to help with the symptoms am going to be done the pills in a couple days and tonight which I’m not looking forward to. I am never taking them again!!
