Zithromax Z-Pak and headache

this is the second time i have taken the zpack for bronchitis...first time no symptoms, this time however......i am having verrrrry dark brown/ red urine, diarrhea, headache, stomach cramping, and body sweats....i don't know if this is due to my illness or due to zpack, but i HATE these symptoms/side effects

20 min after my second dose I experienced severe vomiting. Headache, vomiting and nausea continued for 32 hours – I could not hold down more than a sip of lemon/lime soda or jello. During that time I my skin became itchy, the next I developed a rash on my neck and chest... I have been taking hydroxyzine, which relieves the itch, but a month later the rash persists…

While I have taken it before, I don't recall having anything but very mild side effects (maybe a little discomfort in my belly). This time, however, it is different and I am owing it to the beauty of aging. I just took the second of the three pills (and yes, I've had the three pill one before). My bronchitis is clearing but this afternoon I had really bad abdominal pain and I have a continuous headache in the back of my head, where my spinal cord ends. It is not as bad (so far) as the one I had with Biaxin (I refuse to take that). The only bright side is that it made it a really good time to join Weight Watchers because I do not have much appetite. I was able to sleep last night, at least, because my cough decreased. The verdict is still out on whether I would do this again. Problem is, I am allergic to Penicillin.

I've taken Zpak several times (4+) and each time, it worked like a charm to cure ear, nose & throat infections. I think it worked better for me overall because of the short-dosage cycle which made it easier for me to take the full course prescribed (2 first day, 1 every day thereafter for 4 days). Side effects: diarrhea, cramping, headache, feeling "high" or medicine head--taken with or without food. Hard to say if these effects are attributed to meds or to the infection itself. Boyfriend taking Z-pak right now--he reports severe body ache, skin sensitivity (to touch), and feeling like crap. Again--hard to say if from med or virus/bacteria.

By the third day with these pills I had horrible stomach pains, vomiting, diarrehea, dizziness, and a headache. The meds were only given to me to treat a persistant cough but now I've been really sick for two days

I've taken Z-Pak only twice in my life. The first time I had a bad headache for the whole time taking it. The second time was horrible (probably worse because I didn't eat food with it this time)! I was in bed all day long with a severe migraine, vomiting, and feeling severely fatigued. Ive never felt like that before in my life. It was like my body was shutting down. I couldn't even eat anyting until late that day. I stopped taking it right away. Now I always ask for amoxicillan.

I have had a terrible headache since I started my first dose of Zpak. Will not take it again!!!
