Side effects are mostly mild, stomach cramping and loose stools, no real appetite and slight restlessness. The metallic taste is severe though. I have it all day long no matter how long it's been since I've taken it, it started the first day. I don't notice it when eating and my voice has finally come back, so it's a good trade-off for only 10 days.

Biaxin is working for my bronchitis, however, the diarrhea is very troublesome. It has also caused my tinnitus to worsen.

The bronchitis cleared up, but the side effects were horrible.

Attacks of diarreah started again 2 1/2 weeks after I stopped the drug, and still continues 2 ... Show Full Comment

The bronchitis cleared up, but the side effects were horrible. I had diarreah for the 5 days I was on it, had a 'strange' feeling like yeast was growing in my body, and adrenalin was going to my intestines (feeling 'scared'), with my skin itching and feeling so sick I almost wanted to die. Attacks of diarreah started again 2 1/2 weeks after I stopped the drug, and still continues 2 1/2 months later. My gastro doctor gave me an IBS pill to control that. My system still has not gone back to normal, and I don't know if it ever will. How this drug passed for human consumption I don't understand. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

i took this medication before finding out i was pregnant with my son in 1998. he was born with congenital heart disease, has had 3 open heart surgeries, is autistic, has a seizure disorder and many other health issues. DO NOT take this medication if you think you might be pregnant!
