Clarithromycin
"I am an asthmatic and have just had flu which has lead to mild pleurisy and chest pain/shortness of breath. I'm taking a course of clarithromysin for 7 days (500mg x2 daily) with 30mg prednisolone for the first 5 days. Feeling sick, vile taste in mouth, headache, dizzy, fatigue, lack of sleep, randomly crying for no reason (may be the steroids). I feel quite beat up by the drugs and was feeling wiped out already. However I can now breathe and cough without feeling like I'm being stabbed so going to try to last the full course as I don't have an option of another drug as I'm allergic to penicillin. I feel spaced out and going to a supermarket and looking at all the food nearly made me throw up as I feel so sick. Trying a probiotic drink..."
