I've been prescribed biaxin XL before and had no serious side effects. However, I was recently prescribed this antibiotic on 1000mg once a day for seven days. I've experienced diarrhea, vomitting, pain in the chest, sleeplessness. The worst side effect is the nasty taste in my mouth...and the constant vomitting to the point where I can barely swallow my own spit. Totally disgusted with this medication.

I took a 7-day course of Biaxin and didn't notice anything during that time. Had bronchitis and got better. After the seven days my taste buds disappeared and I cannot taste. My entire mouth is sore, including tongue. My mouth and tongue feel like a very bad tongue burn. I have a lot of metal in my mouth because I have a partial plate and made mostly of metal in the roof of my mouth. So maybe the taste everyone talks about is a metallic taste. But I tell you this, it hurts. I'm just wondering if my taste will return. Has been like this from 7/01 and it is now 13 days later.

I have been taking Biaxin for seven days. Thank goodness this is my last dose. I've had all the regular symptoms (naseau, upset stomach, diarrhea, metallic taste in mouth morning, noon and night), but I also have noticed a severe break out with acne, night sweats and tiredness. I feel like I can hardly keep my eyes open. I forgot one dose and felt almost like myself again, guess that's what triggered me to finally take the medicine. I will not take this medicine again. I'd rather get a yeast infection from some of the other antibiotics than feel like a walking zombie again. This is some strange stuff. I even quit taking my zoloft while taking this antibiotic thinking it was the interaction of the two drugs, but it didn't help.
