Has anyone taken this medication and had any side effects... Dr. gave it to me for sinus infection. Took the first dose (2 pills) now I am on second day.

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.
