I was prescribed this medication along with a nasal steroid spray for 10 days to treat a sinus infection. Day 1 - took the first dose and vomited an hour later. Day 2 - slept most of the day and my cold pretty much dried up and sinus pressure greatly decreased. Day 3 - got diarrhea, moved time of dose to before bed and had no more stomach issues. Day 4 - woke up at 2 am with a cold on the left ... Show Full Comment

I was prescribed this medication along with a nasal steroid spray for 10 days to treat a sinus infection. Day 1 - took the first dose and vomited an hour later. Day 2 - slept most of the day and my cold pretty much dried up and sinus pressure greatly decreased. Day 3 - got diarrhea, moved time of dose to before bed and had no more stomach issues. Day 4 - woke up at 2 am with a cold on the left side of my head - left eye and nostril leaked constantly, left side of throat sore. Day 5 - cold completely dried up again, throat still sore. Sinus pressure almost gone Day 6 - Sore throat and ankles hurt. Sinus pain gone. Day 6 - ankles still sore, throat improving. Was going to call the doctor if ankle pain persisted. I was so far into the the course of meds, I was hoping just to get through it. Day 7 - no issues. Day 8 - diarrhea Day 9 - started getting a little dizzy/faint when walking in late afternoon and some blurred vision. Day 10 - itchy rash appeared on feet and ankles and dizziness when walking increased, still blurred vision. So glad to be done and hoping this will end all the bizarre side effects. It cleared my sinus infection but the side effects were horrendous and ever-changing. I have never had a reaction to any antibiotic before and I would never take this drug again.

By day 7 I started to have swelling in my hands. Day 10 i'm suffering from heart palpitations and difficulty sleeping. Also having breathing issues now at day 12. I still have a bit of mucous when I cough but overall feel like I've beat the infection. I still have 9 pills to take but I am not sure I can handle the side effects for 9 more days. Seeing a doctor in 2 days. I would suggest taking the drug right before bed to help with rapid heart beat and getting some sleep.

Treatment lasted for ten days until yesterday. It did make me feel better, most of the infection is gone (although, even though the treatment has ended, I still feel some of the symptoms).

However in the past few days my anxiety has gotten dramatically worse, I have experienced labyrinthitis, shakiness, blurry vision and exhaustion. After reading about the side effects and other reviews I believe these are all linked to the medication. I'm glad the treatment is over now and that I didn't experience worse side effects than these, which are possible from what I'm seeing in other reviews. Probably never taking this medication again. Seeing the abundant negative reviews, it impresses me that this drug is still on the market. It might be effective on its' target, but it's extremely dangerous.

Given me for sinus infection. It was my first time taking this medication and I didn't know any antibiotics can cause such effects! First day started to feel sick and shaky. Doctor told me to finish the 7 day course so I continued. Next day, I was more uncomfortable, shaky, was hard to focus, feeling more sick.

Doctor told me to finish the 7 day course so I continued. Next day, I was more uncomfortable, shaky, was hard to focus, feeling more sick. By the 4th day I couldn't get out of the bed because of newly added symptoms extreme dizziness and nausea. By the 5th I didn't take anymore, I went to doctor, he change the antibiotic. (though he didn't want to at first!!) It's horrible. I'd never consider taking it again. I'm still feeling really disoriented and little shaky although I didn't take it today(5th day). I hope it'll go away. I found out it should be completely out of my system in 63.5 hr.
