I have been taking Biaxin for seven days. Thank goodness this is my last dose. I've had all the regular symptoms (naseau, upset stomach, diarrhea, metallic taste in mouth morning, noon and night), but I also have noticed a severe break out with acne, night sweats and tiredness. I feel like I can hardly keep my eyes open. I forgot one dose and felt almost like myself again, guess that's what triggered me to finally take the medicine. I will not take this medicine again. I'd rather get a yeast infection from some of the other antibiotics than feel like a walking zombie again. This is some strange stuff. I even quit taking my zoloft while taking this antibiotic thinking it was the interaction of the two drugs, but it didn't help.

Biaxin is on my list of allergic reaction drugs! They gave it to me for a sinus infection a few years ago, just as I was going on vacation. I got sick in stages while taking it, tired/headaches/fever, then the rash on my arms started. I remember sleeping in the car on the way home from vacation and made it back to the doctor on Monday. She told me the reaction was a big warning sign that it was time to find other treatments.
