BiaxinXL…

Now this is one fucked up antibiotic.

I don’t usually take antibiotics but I’ve been sick for a month so I knew I had to.

I started feeling strange yesterday. Today was worse. I started misjudging doorways…I kept hitting my shoulders on the door jams. People were talking to me but I didn’t hear anything they said. I just looked at them with no thought in my mind. Tired, dishevled, I’m in la la land.

So I decided to google Biaxin this morning.

wow...here are a few comments out of 500.

Every paragraph a different experience.

“Forgeting to breath while sleeping, racing heart while resting, metallic taste in mouth, Dieing of thirst, confusion, dizzy, stomach cramps, extream hunger, nightmares,sweats when finally falling asleep.”

“Horrible panic attack. It seemed like everything was moving extremely quick. Every step I took felt like I was running. I tried breathing deeply and slowly, but it didn't help. I was insanely paranoid for about 30 minutes. I am not taking this medication again.”

“I feel like I'm on some kind of illegal drug and people think I'm not listening to them because I am so zoned out.”

“The worst part was all the lit I have looked at says do not mix Xanax and Biaxin yet even though my doctor knew I was on Xanax she put on Biaxin anyway!”

“ANXIETY DEPRESSION INSOMNIA COULDNT SLEEP FOR MORE THAN 5 MINS NERVOUSNESS RESTLESS ALMOST IN A ZOMBIE DREAM STATE”

“Fatigue, Nausea, Dizziness, Rapid Heart Rate, General "all over the body" Weakness, Lightheaded/Fainty.”

“Disorientated, bad taste in mouth, havent slept for 2 whole days even though i'm shattered I have nervous energy and strange like fluttering behind my eyes when i lay down, like my brain can't shut down at night, feeling a bit twitchy all over. Also bouts of severe depression and crying uncontroleably. Horrible stuff”

“Depression, crying, unable to sleep, Short tempered”

“I woke on Day 6 and noticed swelling on my lips (down there~not the ones you put lipstick on)”

WHAT? I freaked out when I read that one but let me continue...

“I was on Biaxin for about 5 days (out of 7) and just couldn't take it anymore. I never experienced such a rancid taste and smell in my life. Total insomnia. I did not sleep even one wink for all 5 days plus 2 more nights because it was still in my system. On the 5th day I experienced horrible hallusinations of pigs & a piano flying into the living room. All the curtains flew around. My husband had to convince me the house wasn't haunted.”

I woke up a couple mornings ago, I'm clearly seeing my room. Except there are three wild boars with large tusks all bearing down on me, ready to attack. I blinked a few times and the boars went away (just as I had hoped). Also just a couple dreams where I saw patterns painting onto the ceiling, also seemed to vanish with a waking blink. I'm someone who seldom dreams, uses no drugs, gotta admit the boars were kinda cool.”


First of all my doctor wrote a prescription for Biaxin and Xanax on the same pad (new doc by the way…didn’t like him when I met him and really don’t like him, especially now).

I have two more days of these pills but I don’t think I can do it.

I thought antibiotics did nothing buy cure a sickness. I never knew there were side affects like this.

I must say though…

I’ve always wanted to see pigs fly.
