I think I had an upper respiratory infection. This is my 3rd day taking the zpak and I have been experiencing headaches and am sick to my stomach. The first 2 days I had extreme stomach cramps but they have subsided. My infection is completely gone though. I feel much better even though the side effects suck.

okay so today is Wednesday, ive been having really bad headaches for the past two weeks, i don't know why, but on Monday, my eyes started hurting whenever i looked anywhere else but straight ahead, really intense dizziness...Tuesday, the dizziness subsided, id been on dayquil/nyquil since Monday morning and stopped it Tuesday night
Wednesday - i stayed out of school all day, doctors diagnosed a sinus infection, and gave me the Zpak...
so since Monday, i hadn't crapped....i don't know if it was just what i had been eating, the illness, or what, but right when i took the Zpak's double dose, ive been dealing with stomach cramps and diarrhea. i got some kind of rash on my abdomen as well, im worried to find out what other side effects come on from this drug...

On my 5th day of taking it for a sinus infection, slight headaches in the back of my head. Otherwise, I have no side effects.

Prescribed 3 day z pak after Thanksgiving 2004 for strep throat and sinus infection. Had severe abdominal pain during course and a couple of days afterwards. Also had swollen glands a few days after taking. Ended up back at the doctor for severe vertigo and headaches two days before Christmas. After all of the pain I went through the z pak did not clear up my sinus infection and I was put on another antibiotic.

Like the rest of everyone else, the flu season hits and you want to get rid of your cold!!! Right. Right. Go to the doctors and they give you a drug.

I called the Pharmacy to ask about how long I should experience this, it should go away in 10 days. Well, not as of yet...the loss of hearing and loss of taste. Not sure what would be the next step? Go to the doctor's and get more drugs, ie;more side effects.!? Anyone have the same side effects with your ears?
