For Chlamydia Infection "It doesn't taste like anything when I took it. But I eat a meal with it and drink a glass of water/milk like it suggests. I've taken this medication three times. Each time it makes my stomach hurt, and I feel very nauseous. I also get sweaty and have bad diarrhea within an hour or two. It clears the infection up well, though."

For Sinusitis "Z-Pak was given to me during a walk-in care visit. Seven days after starting, my condition has not improved. I experienced several side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, fever, sweating, and more. The worst of all is the loss of appetite caused by the medication. I have only had about two days' worth of meals in the last five and still cannot stomach a full meal."

For Middle Ear Infections "I am on my 3rd day of Azithromycin. I have had nausea, diarrhea, sweating, and dizziness. I am taking 2 the first day and 1 per day for the rest of the Z-Pak. It's doing its job very well, but the side effects suck. I have had the infection for over a month, so it's going to be a bit rough anyway. I am 68 years old."

For Pharyngitis "I began taking Zithromax today for pharyngitis, however, it made me feel sweaty and nauseous for 45 minutes. I felt like I wanted to lay down in the living room, not in the kitchen, because I was nauseous and unwilling to relax myself instead. Yet, I got mucus. I was able to stay awake and focused the entire time anyway. At the end, nausea disappeared, and my stomach became empty and was more willing to stay seated."

For Chlamydia Infection "I've seen a lot of reviews, and they kind of freaked me out about the side effects. I fixed myself a nice brunch, ate, then took the pills, and about an hour after taking the (4) 250 mg Zithromax pills, my stomach started churning and rumbling. I used the bathroom once, and that was pretty much it. No vomiting, no bad diarrhea, or sweating, etc. I took the pills Wednesday, so I'm 2 days in."
