Zithromax Z-Pak and rash on

Took 4 doses out of five and I suddenly developed a rash on my stomach which lasted for a few days after I quit. Two and a half weeks later, the rash just came back randomly, redder, affecting more areas of my body like parts of my arms and neck. Hopefully my body's just flushing out what's left of this toxin.

I was prescribed z-pak for a horrible cold I had. Immediately I had stomach cramps, horrible pain that would come and go...but I kept taking the medicine. Each day the stomach cramps were worse than my cold. By day 5 I broke out in a rash on my upper chest, shoulders and upper back...they were like pimples that itch. I am assuming since the zpak stays in your system for 10 days that this stomach pain and rash will continue. PLUS the zpak has not helped my cold/cough. I will never take the z-pak again and told others to never take it.

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...

I have taken Z-paks before without any problem. This time I took the 3 pill dose. I have horrible stomach cramping and diarrhea. I also broke out with a rash on my chest - tiny blisters that itch. I finished it today and hope this goes away soon.

I'm a 32 year old male. This is probably the 5th time I've taken Zithromax. Unlike previous experiences, this time I got a horrible rash on my face, chest, neck, and little red spots all over my body. They itch horribly and I'm hoping they go away on their own. I am going on week two and they are still around. Last year, I was given a very strong antibiotic for an infection that just wouldn't go away. I took one dose and threw the rest out because the resulting full-body rash was horrible. I think that some of us may develop an allergy to certain families of antibiotics as we age. Either that or our immune systems are degraded. Who knows. I've also been dealing with chronic anal itch for 2 years now, and that is a horrible thing to live with. FEELING OLD!

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…

The first day I developed a minor rash on my back that got progressively worse and has spread over a large portion of my body. ENT Doctor beleives I have developed "drug induced lupus" in response to the drug! This drug did not work to clear up my sinus and ear problems. I would suggest another med. The rash and insane itching all over was not worth it!!!!
