"Was given Z-pack for bronchitis. Didn't really help with it. Made me have diarrhea. Made me sick to my stomach, terrible metallic taste, and sinus mucus. It was like it was toxic on my system. I also got a bladder infection after taking it. Probably killed all the good bacteria in my gut. Never again."

"I was prescribed Zithromax 250 mg tablets for bronchitis. I’ve taken it for many years as I regularly seem to get sick every fall. Never had reactions either. The generic version I was given was from Lupin Mfg. Co. After my first day dosage, I had indigestion about 2 hours later. The next day, after taking the pill, I developed burning eyes and nose! Also, sores inside my mouth. Diarrhea and lots of gas also. I took myself off the pills and will call my doctor."

"Eased my chest tightness when coughing after the first day. Took for 3 days, then started experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, and gas pressure. Gave me a funny taste in my mouth that I couldn't get rid of. Did not take the last 2 pills. Would rather have a cough than stomach issues."

"OMG, never again. Within 30 min of taking the 2 pills for the first dose, I experienced a feeling of being intoxicated. It is now 12 hrs later. I still feel high or intoxicated, like I had a couple of heavy drinks in me. I'm stumbling, cannot operate a vehicle, walk, or even take a shower or stare at this screen or type on my phone. This drug is horrible. I am jittery and I feel like I'm dying so bad that I just had to call an on-call DR to prescribe me some Augmentin, which I know I can tolerate. I'm having panic attacks, and I feel I am in a brain fog and 'comfortably numb.' Cannot concentrate or think on this drug. It's the same feeling like right after a Percocet, but the high feeling hasn't let up. I hope this feeling goes away soon!!"

"Never have taken the generic brand before the pharmacy took it upon themselves to switch it (Rite Aid). I have to say I'm on day 3 of 5, and it's not working. With the original 3-day pack, I started feeling better that night. Now got to call the doc back and have it re-prescribed somewhere else and tell them to not do generic!!!"

"Brand name works better than the generic version, so despite what anyone may say pushing the cheap generic, you get what you pay for. In most cases, if you have trouble with insurance, you can call them to get them to approve the brand name."

"I was coughing up brownish-yellow mucus with a deep cough. After a breathing treatment and 2-3 days of Zithromax, I was clear without any residual effects."

"It worked for a while, but didn't kill the bronchitis because it came back. I also got a yeast infection right after taking it."
