I love it! I kept getting a sinus infection. I took two different Antibiotics and they obviously did not work. It came back again....but worse. Z pak finally worked after being sick for two months straight! I did have some stomach problems, but I'm just glad to be feeling better and not coughing nonstop. Every drug is going to have some side effect. But it did the job!

I took a zpak for bronchitis and a sinus infection. (lovely to have both at the same time...) I still had a fever three days into the five day cycle. After I finished the whole five day cycle I felt a LITTLE better, but a week later I developed fever and body aches AGAIN. I went back to the doctor and was prescribed a week of Avelox because they said sometimes the zpak does not fully kick the bronchitis, just weakens it and then it comes back. I have been sick for seventeen days now. I'm a little over it.

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.

This is my second Rx for this stuff, only 250 mg., but I'd hate to see what would happen with a stronger dose! I was given this Rx to prevent infection after oral surgery. Within hours of taking it, that familiar itchy, burning sinus sensation started. I took an antibiotic to give me a sinus infection?? I already have tinnitis, and it is worse than usual. I feel awful with this stuff. I will tell my doctor that I will NOT take it again.

I recently took the single dose liquid Z-Pak for what was supposed to be bronchitis. Three days later, I have a full-fledged sinus infection and painful, ringing in my ears. The stuff also seems to have given me horrible dreams, and I can sleep for only about and hour and a half at a time. During the time I'm awake, i'm so befuddled I can barely function. How long does it take for this stuff to get out of your system?

I was given z pak for my sinus infection,after the 3rd day just before my last dose i started getting a sore throat. I thought it was just dry. The next day it was worse & over the next 3 days got so bad i coulkdnt eat & my ear hurt so bad i thought i had an ear infection.Well i went back to the dr. I now have sores in my throat on the left side way in back,like canker sores & they hurt .I never have had anything like it before. I was not having any throat problems till i took z pak not i dont know what's going on it's weird.I dont think i'll take it again.

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.

Started the z pack for bronchitis and sinus infection. First symptoms was stomach cramps, diarrhea. The next and most disturbing symptoms were extreme agitation, anxiety, depression. Have finished the last of the medicine 4 days ago and am still feeling the residual anxiety, agitation, general feeling of unease. Will never take this medicine again.
