Biaxin and ear infection

I have many of the same symptoms as everyone else... miserable stomach pain, diarrhea, terrible headache and heartburn. this drug is awful. I've never had this sort of reaction to an antibiotic before. Today is only day 4 and i'm afraid to take the pills. Has anyone heard that the side effects get better as your body gets used to the drugs?? I'm in the middle of taking exams and I was worried about this throat and ear infection interfering with my studying. I think I could have managed the infection better than these drugs.

In Feb 2005 I was prescribed biaxin for an ear infection. It was a 14 day supply. I started to take it and with in 24 hrs I felt worst than I did before I went to the dr.
Over the next 14 days I called the Dr. 4 times and each time I was told that if I just take the biaxin I will get better. I did as I was told.
In 30 days I lost 31 pounds from vomiting. Over 60 days I lost 51 pounds. My Dr. finally did blood work and my triglycerides were at 7700. No that is not a miss print. My sugar went to 395. My blood pressure was off the scale.
My Dr. got the results of my blood test and told me I was a diabetic and put me on Metformin and set an appointment for 30 days later. This was the same day I was told my triglycerides were 7700. I was not hospitalized. I was not even to be seen again for 30 days.
I now know what that meant. I was within minutes of dying and my Dr. tried to hide it. He could not have cared wheither I died or got better as long as no one else found out what happened.
Now, after 3 yrs of living a life similar to what I think hell would be like and after seeing specialist and different Dr. they tell me I have pancreas damage and I will be on prescriptions for the rest of my life.
The Dr.'s know what Biaxin does to your body. They don't care! I was ignored for 2 weeks when I called them. Now I will pay for the rest of My life. THANK YOU FAMILY PRACTICE.

I just want to sleep!!! I've been taking Biaxon for four days. There is a bad taste in my mouth but not too bad. Sometines my throat feels strange. It's as though my wind pipe wants to close up. This doesn't last long and I wonder if it's anxiety...I've never experienced this with any other med. I have an aweful ear infection and plan to suffer through these side effects unless they worsen. I just wish I could sleep...I don't know how I'll work tom.

I am on biaxin for an ear infection. Within the first day of taking it I have the constant sensation of having to urinate. It is also coupled with the feeling that I can't control my bladder. It is awful. I missed a dosage one day, and the sensation went away. I am now on day 4 of 10. I don't know how much longer I can take it. I may discontinue use and hope the ear infection doesn't come back. If it does, I'll definitely opt for another antibiotic!

I am a 21/f, 105lbs. I began taking Biaxin XL for what was a bacterial infection in my throat and a mild ear infection. I have been taking 1000mg daily(all at one time as prescribed) for four days(I still have three days left on my prescription). My side effects include: severe stomach pains and discomfort, nausea but can not vomit--until day 4, loss of appetite, metalic taste in my mouth that never goes away, digestive problems, dehydration symptoms, trouble sleeping, extremely moody and emotional. I am unsure if I will finish this prescription, most likely I will not. I decided to check more about this drug tonight after another miserable day. Taking this medicine is worse than my sore throat and ear...I am not sure if taking Biaxin is worth it, the side effects are too extreme and last 24 hours...
