For Sinusitis "Second antibiotic I've been on for this sinus infection (Z-pack didn't clear it up). I am slowly getting better, but I have all the unpleasant but evidently not dangerous side effects: nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, sour taste in my mouth. I dread taking the pill because for the next two hours I have to lay my head on my desk because of nausea and dizziness. Even at night, I go to sleep but wake up three hours later feeling like I'm going to vomit."

For Strep Throat "Allergic reaction after taking 2 x 500 mg tablets. Symptoms: fast heart rate, headache, metallic taste, shaky on the inside, involuntary spasms, dizziness. I believe that the medicine would have worked if I did not experience the severe side effects."

For Strep Throat "After taking one 500 mg clarithromycin, in about three hours I became dizzy, uncomfortable in the head, and short of breath. I am afraid to take another, although it was prescribed one every 12 hours. I have spent most of the day with my head reclined and eyes closed. I had the same reaction to 500 mg of Azithromycin, but I could take 250 mg with no problem. Shall I ask the doctor to prescribe a smaller dose? I am very fearful of another like this."

For Strep Throat "I took 500 mg (5 doses) of amoxicilin, and it did nothing, literally, and I was shivering with cold fever, felt like I would never heal. But then, after taking the first dose of Biaxin, I felt it working as my pain reduced and feeling less dizzy. I would suggest Biaxin over amoxil."
