I took my first dose of Biaxin XL (1000mg) about 7 hours ago, for a ear/sinus infection. Approximately 4 hours ago, I felt severe stomach cramping, gas, jittery/shaking hands and havent been able to fall asleep. I made a huge dinner and that seemed to help a little, but I'm nervous about taking the next dose tomorrow. If it wasnt a Saturday, I would be calling my dr first thing in the morning to try something else. Antibiotics are supposed to help infections, not create a greater state of discomfort.

I just took my first dose of biaxin 1000 mg about six hours ago. It is now midnight, and my heart feels like its going to beat right out of my chest. I can't sleep, or relax. I'm all jittery. I don't know if I should continue using this medication.

Given Biaxin for 7 days after a fall and superficial skin scrapes to prevent infection. Having a broken nose and in pain I took it . Stupid. I have been getting 3-4 hours sleep/night. Terrible taste. Also so nervous and jittery that I feel like I have had an extreme caffeine overdose.

I have been taking Biactin for 4 days. I don't like it much, but if it's going to make me better, I guess I'll put up with it. I have been too sick - 3 months with different infections. So, I feel like I am going to be better with this drug,....but, yes the taste in my mouth is horrible, I am very irritable, little jittery...and in the beginning my head was booming...now, the headaches are not too bad. I am also quite tired. Don't like it...but, if it's going to work finally...I will be relieved.

Metallic taste, anxiety/panic attacks, nausea, diarrhea. Never taking Biaxin again. I stopped taking it yesterday, and I'm still all jittery and nervous. I'm praying it stops soon.

I've had a HORRIBLE nasty iron taste in my mouth. Tastes like I have morning sickness again but I can't get rid of the taste. YUCK.
Also, I think I had a panic attack yesterday evening. I've never had one before but I couldn't seem to catch my breath and started freaking. It was not an asthma attack, I've had those before. This was different.
I feel jittery and light-headed too.
I don't like this and I'm thinking about stopping the prescript. My sinus infection was not worth this.
I was freaking out wondering what was causing the lightheadedness/difficulty breathing and after reading all the side effects on here I see it's normal. Doctors should warn of all these side effects. I wouldn't have started it.
