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...

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.
