Biaxin and vomiting

When did the dizziness and vomiting start for anybody here?... The only side effect I've found so far--and I just took my second dose a few minutes ago--is paranoia. And this paranoia AND anxiety seems to be about the drug itself and side effects. Normally, I don't gie these things a second thought and have never had side effects to any antibiotics before.

Just wonderig when these things set in and any early warning signs of them.

I must be severely allergic to this drug because I think I had every side effect known to man. First the depression came, then disorientation, manic behavior, loss of appetite, insomnia, nightmares, vomiting, becoming a different person, paranoid, crying, confusion, basic emotional freefall. Then I started convulsing, so I rushed myself to the ER. I also broke out all over my chest, and my head was bloated and red too. Of course the ER acted like Biaxin couldn't cause this, so I didn't find out it was Biaxin until I went online and found other sites with other patient reviews. Such a horrible experience and drug. It rendered me incapable of doing my job and school. Never again.

Vomiting, diarrhea, headache, bad taste in mouth, fatigue and dizzy. All of that after taking Biaxin XL for one day..... Hope it gets rid of my Bronchitis.

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 was given a prescription of Biaxin 500mg to treat a severe respiratory infection. I became quite ill after the second pill. I had vomiting, diarrhea, high fever,a tremendous back pain, lack of sleep and appetite. The worst part is that it also came with a huge headache by the third day, and could not take anything for it or keep anything down, so dehydration became a factor. A call to my Dr. went with the explanation that this happens sometimes. New medication was called in. I don't understand as to why we are given all this new drugs that are so ineffective, are dangerous and more expensive. We are all little guinea pigs. I must note the three years ago I had pneumonia, which this turned out to be, and I felt better within days. Today we are not so lucky. What a shame!
