Biaxin and cough

This stuff is DISGUSTING. I hate the taste in my mouth and it seems like if i cough or breath in threw my mouth the taste intensifies. I'm only on day 2!!! I was wondering if the insomnia was from the pills and now I know it is. It's 3am and i don't even feel tired. Last night I took some Nytol to help ease my headache and body aches. Woke up in a major sweat, changed clothes, went back to bed an hour later and continued to sweat. Had crazy dreams about dating Tom Cruise and Nico, the winner of So you think you can dance Canada and spent the evening looking at pics of him on facebook and joining multiple groups for him, like a crazy stalker, lol. And to think, this is only day 2!!! I'm going to lose it. Had diarrhea also today. Oh, and last night had a major meltdown and cried into the bathroom towels when I felt like my boyfriend wasn't being sympathetic to my illness (respiratory infection) even though he has a cracked rib and is in major pain himself. Crying lasted for about 20 mins. I think I'm going to take more Nytol just to try and get to sleep, meeting family members for brunch that i haven't seen for about 20 years, this is going to be interesting... good luck to the rest of you! Oh and I'm super hungry all the time, but hate most of what I eat probably because of this damn taste in my mouth.

Yup, all of the above... I have been dizzy, restless at night, nausious, but like you have all said, the worst is the TASTE that is in your mouth all day and night, it tastes like a combination of grass and metal and it gets worse every time I cough (I am taking Biaxin for a very bad lung infection). I wake up in the middle of the night gagging and I have to run to the bathroom to basically drink mouthwash so that it will go away for an hour or so and give me some relief. It is disgusting and if it weren't for the fact that I NEED to get rid of this infection I would definitly stop taking it if only to just get rid of the taste in my mouth.

TOOK BIAXIN XL 500 MG FOR RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AFTER FIRST DOSE TAKEN IN THE MORNING MOUTH STARTED BURNING 12 HOURS LATER
AFTER SECOND DOSE ALSO 8 HOURS LATER I WOKE UP BREATHLESS, PANICKY AND HAVING CHEST PAIN ALSO DEPRESSION AND WANTED CRY ALL DAY LONG
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS GOT HELP AFTER FIRST DOSE BUT AFTER HAVING SIDE EFFECTS DECIDED NOT TO POISON MY SYSTEM ANY LONGER.

I have been taking Biaxin for 9 days now - 2 pills a day at the same time. I have been taking it at night - and have had the worst experience with the medicine. Along with everyone else, the metallic taste is awful... I taste it really bad in the mornings, then it seems to go away as the day progresses. I am incredibly emotional, depressed, lots of anxiety and panic... All of which started when I took the first couple doses of the medicine. I was prescribed Biaxin due to a severe upper respiratory infection and a sinus infection. Both of which seem to be improving - I still have a cough with some wheezing and chest pains. Also, my lymph nodes are still swollen and very tender. They hurt to the touch. I don't know if it's the medicine or if there is something more serious going on. I have 2 days left on Biaxin and will NOT be taking them. I will never ever ever take Biaxin again..
