User Reviews for clarithromycin oral

Thank god I found these reviews! I have had the most horrific nightmares the last two nights since taking this course of antibiotics. Tonight I had a night terror, woke up shaking, I’ve never had an experience like this. I feel anxious, paranoid, shaky. I’m calling my doctor in the morning to suggest something else, I can’t do another night like this on these antibiotics. It will cause insomnia and drowsiness, then when you can sleep it can cause nightmares. I feel slightly nauseous as well, I’m not taking this ever again. The side effects of this antibiotic are very serious Read More Read Less

I have quinsy and the swelling on my left gland is so severe that I'm on 1000mg a day. Although after just 1 day, the pain and swelling has slightly gone down, the side effects from this antibiotic was almost instant for me. A constant headache, an aching body particularly a bad back, diahorrea, nausea but not actually being sick, fever, night sweats and I'm genuinely not a sweaty person, low mood, stomach ache and genuinely feeling like death. Obviously, the doctor thought this the best medication for me as I'm unfortunately allergic to penicillin. Big hugs to experiencing side effects xRead More Read Less

Severe diarrhea , paindul stomach , depresion, feeling low, crying, loss of appetite, feeling tired and weak. DO NOT TAKE THIS

Taking 500mg for sinus and chest infection day 2 and I have hyper sensitivity with my hearing. Loud noises make me dizzy and just walking talking and breathing sound ridiculously loud. I also feel very low and anxious. Calling Dr today for a review.

Good Grace ...I will never take this shit again.My dose was 500 mg per day and I thought it would be easy,especially since I never had any reactions at other antibiotics.But seems with this one I had: insomnia,sweating,itchy all over my body and stomach cramps.Thanks God that I didnt had diarhea or other horrific reactions u guys are writing here.

This medication made me feel like I was dying/going crazy. I had horrible stomach cramps, I was pissing out my asshole, and it destroyed my mental state - I just could not stop crying for the 5 days I took it. I am absolutely exhausted with insane muscle weakness (sitting up is a struggle). The worst part about it is because of the diarrhea - the antibiotic didn’t even absorb, so I am still sat here with a chest infection due to the antibiotics OWN SIDE EFFECTS!!!!! I would not recommend this to anyone. Read More Read Less

I have been on this medicine for 4 days. It is making me severely nauseous, dizzy, light of breathe, moody and anxious. This is not a good experience for me at all.

7 weeks with a bad cough and chest pain since catching covid it caused a bacterial chest infection and have asthma which made things worse. Doctor put me on these antibiotics worried going on them as I am allergic to alot of medicines but they have helped alot only one side effect was horrible taste in mouth on a night mostly . would use again

I was taking it for h pylori. This has made me think am very depressed. I had a vivid dream the whole night. Feeling like I can harm anybody near me. I had to start mindfulness for me to sleep. I came to see this website and the reviews in it. I was soo happy that it was caused by the medicine. I am never going to take this tablet again. Hoping to feel better soon.

When reading reviews it’s probably good to remember that everyone is different. People saying ‘avoid’ and ‘will never take again’. Don’t avoid as you don’t know, it may be effective for you. Weirdly I like the smell/taste of this antibiotic. I’m taking it for Campylobacter, it was a bout of food poisoning which should have cleared in 3-5 days but i still had it 12 days later. My main symptom is dizziness/lightheaded resulting in nausea however I’ve had this since my food poising started so unable to say if it’s the antibiotics or the campylobacter Read More Read Less

Everything was going great till day 6! Major exhaustion set in a few days which wasn't to much of a bother but then the night terrors hit. Night terrors so bad I woke up crying ?? 2 nights of night terrors is all I can take. They seemed to real and ruined both days for me! This morning when the alarm went off I thought it was the fire alarm and thought there was a fire ?? this did it for me I can't handle another pill. I managed the diarrhea with probiotics and nausea with zopran everything was good and I thought I would be able to finish but then the unthinkable happened. Read More Read Less

I have no side effects with this antibiotic, unlike amoxicillin , which has recently started to make me feel sick . I don’t care if I get any other side effects , but nausea is the pits . I’m am cured of my lung infection and skin problems to boot

WOW!! I read all the reviews so I could understand what I might expect when taking this medicine, but I had a great experience with this. I was so scared after reading reviews but extremely glad I took this antibiotic. I took it with amoxicillin and pantoprazole for 2 weeks and had almost no side effects. I had some nausea but I don't know if that was from the gastritis so I can say for sure. I had the AWFUL taste in my mouth but sucked on mints throughout the day to help it, but the worst was definitely waking up. I found it difficult to sleep as every time I woke up I experienced the horrible taste and had to run to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Other than that no other side effects, and I highly recommend taking this pill especially if you have H. Pylori like I did.Read More Read Less

I suffered from sinus infections for months. It started with prolonged bouts of seasonal rhinitis. I had been feeling fatigued, depressed, lethargic and frustrated, painful sinuses, constant discharge from nose, etc. My allergist prescribed a course of an antibiotic (name of which I can’t remember) that seemed to clear up symptoms for awhile but after a couple of months I was back to where I started so I I was prescribed a twice a day ten day course of clarithromyicin. The second day I had a nasty, bitter, tinny taste in my mouth that has persisted for the five days I have been taking the medication and I’ve felt discomfort in my upper abdomen BUT my sinuses cleared completely after the fourth day for the first time in ages. I have experienced this medication as harsh verging in brutal. I plan to try to withstand the side effects for the rest of the course in the hope that the initial relief of the infection will be sustained Read More Read Less

Only taken 2 doses got a nasty taste and feeling depressed, seems to have a lot of nasty side effects.

1000mg 1 x per day. This drug definitely disagrees with my system. On day 1 I had restless legs, Itchiness and insomnia. Day 2 was far worse. The back, joint and muscle pain was excruciating, I had what I can only describe as mild psychosis, I was terribly nauseous and felt like I was going to die. Definitely check with your doctor if you've ever had a reaction to antibiotics and rather avoid if in doubt.

I went on Clarithromycin (Klacid) 250 mg as a 7 day course. (14 tablets) So after the 8th tablet (day 4) i had similar to what someone else said below. I would try and go to sleep and whenever i reached that point of just falling off to sleep, my chest would get a slight burning pain and wake me up again. It was either that or my throat would close over right as i would go to sleep, waking me up. This went on for two full nights. No sleep at all. I thought I was dying. I stopped the tablets after asking the doctor The 7th night I actually slept ok probably out of sheer exhaustion. But the 8th night it all happened again and by the 9th night I was telling my partner i didn't want to be alive anymore, I felt completely mental. But then that night I slept ok again out of sheer exhaustion and a very big cry. . Its now the 12th night and I have slept fine since, with just a tickle in my throat as i go to sleep. I can't put my symptoms down to anything else, I will never take this antibiotic again, it is so so bad!!!!!! Don't take it!!Read More Read Less

This is the second time I've taken Clarithromycin and I can confirm the side effects are from this drug. Please AVOID at all costs. After the 3rd pill, I've started having hot flushed, rapid heartbeat (>150 bpm), heart palpitations and panic attack. After the 4th dose I lost my apetite, started developing stomach cramps, muscles pains, extreme fatigue and dizziness. I felt like my body isn't mine and kept experiencing nightmares. Please be careful with this medicine, it is dangerous and hasnt even helped my original symptoms.Read More Read Less

Reading the reviews on here made me chuckle after suffering 2 weeks with a untreated bacterial infection severe red inflamed throat and tummy pain and a fever these tablets were worth more there weight in gold for me who cares about the side affects they made me better im alive. If your bothered about the side affects then you must not have been in pain like i was get a life thank good your alive and these tablets made you better instead of complaining about the side affects lol

I got tonsillitis, then Doctor recommend this Clarithromycine Antibiotic on 1st day the pain of my tonsils was lessen, but I dont like its side effect, When I eat and take the medicine, every after 2 hours, I feel stomach pain and vomiting.
