Like the rest of everyone else, the flu season hits and you want to get rid of your cold!!! Right. Right. Go to the doctors and they give you a drug. Yes, I had taken the zpack for the 5 days and like everyone else, I have had all of the same feelings; depression, diarrhea, stomach ache, rash/itching, fullness in your ear or ringing, loss of taste-smell. Oh yeah, what a joy. I called the Pharmacy to ask about how long I should experience this, it should go away in 10 days. Well, not as of yet...the loss of hearing and loss of taste. Not sure what would be the next step? Go to the doctor's and get more drugs, ie;more side effects.!? Anyone have the same side effects with your ears?

I got the ringing in the ears, stomach aches, major headaches and last but not least, I just finished the last pill of the z pak today and tonight I have a horrible bubbly, pimply red rash all over. I actually went to the emergency. The triage nurse was not panicking. I had already taken 2 benedryl. It didn't get much worse so I left. The wait would have been hours. I hate the side effects of meds but I had to take something because I had pneumonia.
