Biaxin and acne

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.

Bad metalic taste
headaches
depression
upset stomach with cramps and diarrhea
breakouts (pimples/acne)

I've been on it for 5 months for an infectious disease caught while boating. I'm unable to stop taking the medication because the infection will spread on my legs. I'll never take this medicine again. I've asked to put on something else but the ID doctor refuses.

I am taking Biaxin XL 500mg for skin acne. The only side effects that I experienced that bothers me is the after tasted which from what I have read is pretty common. I mostly suck on hard candy or lollipops to take away the taste. If I can't do that I'll brush my teeth and use a natual mouth wash.. seems to work. My face is getting better it is not as imflammed as it was before. I do experience trouble in sleeping didn't think that could be one of the side effects but then again I am still young and maybe I just don't want to fall asleep yet other then that it's been ok. I noticed the after taste like 2 - 4 hours after I take the pills.. which is both at the same time.. I will just suck on candy and/or use a mouth wash seems to work if not eat a healthy meal it's tolerable..
