Started the z pack for bronchitis and sinus infection. First symptoms was stomach cramps, diarrhea. The next and most disturbing symptoms were extreme agitation, anxiety, depression. Have finished the last of the medicine 4 days ago and am still feeling the residual anxiety, agitation, general feeling of unease. Will never take this medicine again.

My doctor gave me the z pack for the same condition ( sinus infection and bronchitis) and i am experiencing the same exact symptoms on day 3. My anxiety is horrible. I have stomach cramps and i am extremely tired. I have 2 other odd symptoms. Sweaty feet and weird dreams. I am crawling out of my skin and i have 2 days left to take this medicine. People are saying that it is in my head but last time i checked stomach cramps and severe diarrhea were not in my head but in my stomach! I took this medicine to feel better but i am feeling worse that i was in the beginning. I dont think i will ever take this again. I like plain old penicillin. It works for me....100% of the time.

I am on day five of this med and am in my fourth month of Klonopin withdrawal. Last night, I started to have horrible dreams and I was waking up every hour from them. I was sweating profusely, feeling uncomfortable and my mind was racing like mad. My body is horrible sore and I feel like crap. Sure, the sinus infection is better, but it's like I'm in a state of sheer panic and anxiety... I will NEVER take this crap again...

yea i finished taking it yesterday, and I feel so weak and drained... I cant sleep and when I do I have really weird dreams which could be unrelated, but the worst thing is how depressed I feel. Which I shouldnt, my life is going great but I this horrible feeling of sadness. I cant set a plan for my day. I just want to be done with this. It is good to hear that Im not alone. Good luck you guys
