I have been on clarithromycin for 4 days so far and I have never felt so sick in my life! Such bad shakes and anxiety along with severe dizziness unable to keep my balance. Will these side effects eventually pass when I stop or will they have caused damage and be long term?

Hi, Amy!
I'm sorry you're having a rough time with this! Shakiness, anxiety, and dizziness are all common side effects which generally resolve within days to a week or so or after you stop the medication. They're short term side effects and don't persist long term.
That being said, it seems like you're having some pretty nasty symptoms that should be reported to your doctor for professional advice. Give them a call on Monday if you can.
Best regards and I hope you're feeling better quickly.
