I love this antibiotic!! Nothing works better for respiratory bacterial infections. I can always feel a difference by the second day, although they say it can take up to 10 days to be cured. I've never had any side effect, incl yeast infection. Great med.

I feel anxious today. Don't know if it's the cold/infection or the meds.

Anxiety as a side effect of an antibiotic? I've never heard of that.

Been on it for my sinus infections since 1997 with no side effects at all.

I'm sure it can be on some. I was taking an antibiotic specifically for rosacea and had to stop it made me feel so weird.

No problems with the Zpack though, it worked well.

I'm very very sensitive to medications and allergic to many antibiotics but I've never had a problem with Z Pak. Everyone reacts differently. It's possible your being anxious is a side effect .

If you are concerned, call your doctor or pharmacist.

I took it several times along the way after some problems I had after each of my heart attacks. Didn't have a single side effect. My wife also has taken it at least a couple times, some with her, not side effects.

I took this about 9 years ago when I had bronchitis and pneumonia that seemed to be coming back over and over. I never had any side effects from it. It took care of the problem and if I can remember there aren't too many you have to take. Wouldn't hesitate to take it.

I was on it once a long time ago. No issues. Worked great.

Are you experiencing any side effects? This medication is tolerated pretty well by most who take it. I always tell patients to take it with food. This medication will also continue to work several days after your last dose, so don't worry if you are not 100% after five days.

I am starting to feel somewhat better and back to work. Had some nausea yesterday but that is gone today. My concern was that I read so many bad reports about Zpack - guess I better stop reading the internet... Thanks for everyone's input.

My oldest son is allergic to Zithromax. He was about 8 when he developed a severe ear infection and doctor gave him Zithromax. He took his first dose and about 20 minutes later he walked into my bedroom saying "My face feels funny." When I looked up at him, I couldn't believe it. His lips were so swollen that he could barely open his mouth. Of course, I called the doctor immediately. I spoke to his nurse, explained what had happened. I had to give him Benadryl which helped with the swelling but I had to watch him throughout the just to make sure that the swelling stayed down and to watch his breathing.

Both my husband and my sister are allergic to the Z pack. They both say that it makes them feel like their face is on fire or melting from the inside out. My husband stopped taking it immediately and called the doctor. I, on the other hand, have no issues with it and it usually helped when I had a sinus infection.

I have asthma and when I'm on a cruise I end up in the medic from whatever is going through the a/c. Bottom line, I never travel without a Zpak, just in case. No problems with it ever. It's a miracle.

Zpacks should not be taken with certain heart meds/conditions. Not a drug for most pediatric infections. Research shows that most sinus infections and bronchitis is viral and no antibiotic will help that.
