For Bronchitis "I was full of itises: bronchitis, sinusitis, and pharyngitis, and I felt miserable. The doctor prescribed Biaxin, and I started to be on the mend a couple of days after starting treatment. On day three of taking it, I felt good enough to exercise (not super intense, but enough to at least get the blood flowing and feel like a human being again). Biaxin has been hard on my gut. It helps to eat a lot of food before taking it. If my stomach starts hurting or cramping, I eat more food, and it helps relieve it. Unexpected side effect: Biaxin gave me energy and increased aggression/agitation. It did what it was supposed to do and knocked out my infection. All in all, worth it for me."

For Bronchitis "Stomach pains and bad taste. Drink plenty of water, it helps the taste and stomach. I've had different reactions with Biaxin. Don't drink caffeine and take it. It will keep you awake, and don't lay down in bed for 1 hour after taking. This all seems to help keep stimulation down so you can sleep."
