I was prescribed Biaxin Extended Release, 500 mg/2x daily for 10 days, for a sinus infection. I am on the 5th day, and feel absolutely horrible. The nausea is CONSTANT, I am very tired, headaches, stomach cramping, bad gas, sleeplessness..the list goes on and on. Also, am very emotional. I have a history of depression, but this is a whole new ball game. I cry at almost anything. I called my doctor today to switch to a new antibiotic, and am waiting to hear back.

OMG! I have been taking Biaxin for 3 days. Today I started feeling really depressed. I was crying for no reason and couldn't stop. I thought I was the only one. The doc says depression is not a side effect of this medicine. I disagree. I have a constant rumbling in my stomach, diareah, and night sweats. This medicine is horrible. The doc told me to take Prilosec OTC along with the Biaxin and it will become more bearable. I have never had heartburn and feel scared to try it. The nasty taste is not only in my mouth but in my nose as well. I feel nauseated by everrything.
