I was prescribed the 5-day Z-pack for bronchitis and after two da...

I too had side effects on Zithromax. I took them beginning 2/14/08 the first 2 and immediately that evening had stomach pain and acid indigestion. The nausea came the next day, yes took the second dose, I called the doctor the second day and he told me to stop taking them. I also have itching, rashes, stomach gas pain. I can't wait until I get this out of my system. My urine is also orange, very unlike me. I eat healthy but this is ridiculous. I was prescribed it for sinusitus, yes the sinusitus is gone but the symptome still persist today 2/20/08. I hope too that it will cease soon so I too can be normal again.

I took the entire five day dosage for sinus/ear infection and I am suffering with some pretty disturbing dizziness and nausea. After contacting my doctor with complaints of side effects as reccomended, she suggested I see a nurologist for a gamut of tests. I think she is wrong, I feel like she gave me what she thinks is a "miracle pill" and is shooing me off. I'm glad to know that other people are getting effects for days on end. This is my second day of nausea.. I guess I can expect this to go on for another week or so.. everyone in the office seems to think I'm pregnant.. it's not helping the nerves.. I'm totally anxious and nervous. My sinus' still hurt and my ears are popping - I can't wait to feel normal again.

It sounds like your illness induced your depression etc. I have taken this medication several times and have never had these side effects. I will say that I have become a bit depressed, agitated and whiny as a result of fever, virus and infection ravaging my body. I think that is a greater possibility than the Z-pack causing you to freak out.

This has been a week & 1/2 since day one of the z-pak. I had intolerable symptoms from this medication. I was treated for sinus infection/bronchitis with a z-pak. Stomach pains, SERVERE diarrhea (still have it too!), weakness etc. I did feel extremely anxious while I took the medication. Maybe even a little bit of depression I felt so hopeless and thought I would just get worse. I did have a little cooky dreams the 2nd and 3rd day of taking the z-pak. It freaked me out but I figured my fever was driving me insane.. Your not alone. Hope that helps somewhat!

Z-Pack made me turn into a rhino and I am now hung like a moose.

I was perscribed this perscription for..well the doctor never told me. I had a bad cough,phlem and chest pain. After taking it 2 days... (3 tablets) I ended up in the ER for severe stomach pain.On top of this i felt depressed, as if i was never going to get better. I havent touched the rest of the tablets since then. 3 months later I still have stomach pain in the early AM. I wouldnt recomend this to anyone.

I have frequent bouts of bronchitis and have taken Zithromax for several of them with no lasting problem. I am now in day 7 of the 5-day pack, and for the first time have persistent, moderate nausea. I'd like to hear from someone who has had this side effect AND has fully recovered.

My Mom is currently experiencing the same reaction. Have you recovered? Do you have any advice?

I have exactly the same symptoms and the nervousness is the worst effect of the medication which still lingers after 1 month. Before taking the drug, I have had no problems emotionally and now I can't even sleep at night or conduct my work normally. I took 4 tablets and was wondering if anyone has found a cure to get rid of this terrible feelings of anxiety which I don't seem to be able to control. It is the worst medication I have taken in my life and hope that someone, somewhere can tell me that this is temporary.
