I'm on my third day and came to this site to see if anyone else had experienced headaches. Pain relievers are not helping. Constant throbbing headaches.

I am on the 6th day of my Z-Pak and I have to tell you, I was scared to death to take it after reading all the side effects posted here. But like many, I would rather deal with diarrhea and stomach cramps than the inability to breathe because of bronchitis. So, I took my chances.....
I don't know how I escaped it all, but I did not suffer one side effect! I wondered if maybe the fact that I no longer had my gallbladder had anything to do with it. Who knows? I feel better and wouldn't hesitate to take it again.
I started feeling better on the third day and feel better more every day.
Thank you!

Ok, I took this because I needed to feel better fast for a weekend with all my guy friends. I am a single girl and I was actually HOPING to come out of this weekend with a boyfriend outta one of 'em...so I wanted to be over my yucky cold/flu symptoms so I could have a good time! Ok...I was NOT feeling well after the third day, my stomach was killlllling me, and I wasn't over my cold stuff either. So by the weekend I was finally feeling a little better but I had started having diarrhea and (even worse!) TERRIBLE GAS. I should have just stayed home, but I went on this roadtrip anyway. I was thinking I would be able to hold it until we stopped, but I started having terrible gas buildup and I just had to release it or I thought I would get sick. Ok, let me just say that we had to pull the jeep over so one of my friends, the really cute one that I liked, could throw up. It was terrible....and even worse they all knew it was me. In my opinion, the slight relief I got from my cold was not worth the tradeoff in side effect. So thanks to my Z pak experience, I was called "Hell Raiser" and other nicknames the rest of the weekend. I will not be using this product again.

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

Woke up in middle of night after taking first day, 2 pills; the room was spinning, I was nauseated, tried to get up from bed, had to hang on for balance as I went to restroom. When I got up that morning, I had to hold on to walls, etc. for balance. Thought I may have had a stroke. Felt weak rest of day, but balance seems to be back (third day) Is this common? Have taken Zithromax in past with no problems..Is there something different in the generic??

I am currently taking the z-pak, on my third day. Today I woke up with white "pockets" under my tongue. Thinking about not taking any more. They are very painful. Hurts to eat or drink. I've taken this before but never with this kind of reaction.
