Clarithromycin
upper respiratory tract infection
"This has to be one of the worst weeks of my life. Had a mild infection that wasn't too bad, but this drug is horrific. Taste in mouth and reflux so bad you don't want to sleep.

Makes up stay awake until the early hours drinking sweet drinks to get rid of the taste and acid burning. I have every symptom going on the most common side affects. Vile taste on day one, day two severe acid reflux  I have a hiatus hernia anyway), day 3 headache, day four dioreah. What's going to happen tomorrow.  I can't sleep and I'm exhausted. Taste is appalling.  Sad thing is I tried to explain it to my husband, and he kindly said, "just go to sleep, rest".  I can't sleep!!!!!!  I can't bear this and I have 2.5 days to go."
