Biaxin and metal taste

I had been with a cold for 2 months and could not see anything on the xray. I had chest pains in one lung and couldn't take in enough oxygen. My doctor after a third xray and seeing possible scaring on the right lung, couldn't identify pneumonia as the problem. Because it was the 24th of Dec., she prescribed Biaxin to try to get rid of the issue. It is now the 28th, I have been on the drug for 4 full days and can finally breath better. The pain is also decreasing. I can tough out the metal taste as this is the only side effect I have.

Wow, thank you for all these comments......... Ive been on Biaxin for 5 days now for bronchitis and sinus infection, but also taking loratadine and premarin and a decongestant. I couldn't figure what was making me so nauseated. And major indigestion... its unreal! I haven't slept in 2 days and last night I heard Christmas music, let it snow, let it snow over and over in my head. No music was playing. So as of today, I'm not taking it anymore. I'm still congested so I guess I have to cal the doctor again. This stuff isn't for me. No metal taste at least. Thanks everyone, at least I know I'm not going nuts.

It is funny to see so many side effects to Biaxin. I am normally very lightweight on any drug, but Biaxin has been awesome. I have been on it one year or Lyme Disease and co-infection treatment and I love this drug, I sleep like a baby, never had bad aftertaste, ever. Chew gum the say if "metal" taste happens. I would recommend this drug in a second. Just wanted to post something positive, because we are all so different.
