Biaxin and terrible taste

Headache, nausea, terrible taste in the mouth, constipation and stomach pain. But by far the taste and headache the worst. 500mg tablets two times daily. I feel almost as bad as I did before taking the medicine from all the side effects. My throat infection is gone but I still feel terrible.

Yup, all of the above... I have been dizzy, restless at night, nausious, but like you have all said, the worst is the TASTE that is in your mouth all day and night, it tastes like a combination of grass and metal and it gets worse every time I cough (I am taking Biaxin for a very bad lung infection). I wake up in the middle of the night gagging and I have to run to the bathroom to basically drink mouthwash so that it will go away for an hour or so and give me some relief. It is disgusting and if it weren't for the fact that I NEED to get rid of this infection I would definitly stop taking it if only to just get rid of the taste in my mouth.

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.

My 14-year old son has been on Augmentin ES (liquid) for 3 days. He has a diarrhea, which he can handle, and a terrible taste in his mouth - which is driving him crazy!
