Side Effects for Erythrocin stearate (erythromycin stearate)
This is possibly the scariest medication I have been on - Feel numb all over after 5 minutes of taking one. Very Morhpine like feeling I am getting, Nausea and hunger at the same time! I'm light Headed, Dizzy and Exhausted and just cannot seem to 'hold my head up!' - Will stop taking and go back to doctor for something different
Felt so so sick, can't drink water. Gurgling stomach, with stomach pains - comes in waves, full of wind. Diarrhoea, light headed and can't sleep. Would rather have swollen painful leg. Not able to take penicillin as allergic - going to stop.
Voracious hunger pangs that could not be sated, mild stomach cramps, flatulence
About two hours after taking the second pill (with a large dinner at about 8pm) I started to get incredible waves of hunger pangs throughout the evening, lasting until about 2am. I tried having a bowl of cereal at about midnight but this did nothing and they continued, growing in intensity, finally leaving me squirming, sweating in bed and swearing quietly. The next day after taking 3 more I got to about 5pm, having had a the same intense hunger pangs and gut rumblings all day, which ended up bordering on stomach cramps. I stopped taking them at this point having read some of the reviews here and contacted my doc who said they were a "gut rotter" and suggested clarithromycin.I saw a review somewhere else which tagged erythromycin as "gut wrenching germ-buster" which is so apt I nearly spat my seventh bowl of cereal all over my laptop.Needless to say, ask if there's an alternative because this stuff is serious. I got off lightly looking at some of the other reviews here and I'm thankful I looked.
I failed to read the little waring label on the side so a stomach upset is constant wothout food. it didn't flair up until 24 hours after taking the second pill.
I slept on my side to keep the cramps down. You must take it with a fairly large meal to avoid the cramps.
ERYTHROCIN STEARATE (ERYTHROMYCIN STEARATE): Erythromycin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It may also be used to prevent certain bacterial infections. Erythromycin is known as a macrolide antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats or prevents only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.

Stuffiness/ fluid in ears (viral)
After I inserted the Monistat 7 I noticed intense itching like most have said on here. I instantly felt cramping in my lower abdomen after inserting. As I laid in bed my cramps began to get worse and I started to feel sick to my stomach. I ended up running to the bathroom and having diarrhea. I don't know if this was a coincidence or not but I felt completely fine before using monistat 7. After reading all reviews, I'm not going to continue.I'm in desperate need of relief from this yeast infection but my reaction and the reactions of others isn't worth it for me. These's a possibility I could be pregnant so I was hoping this was my best option. Very disappointed.
of course youre preventing an unexpected pregnancy...but its just as bad as dealing with the severity of the un/expected side effects and the psycoloigcal distrubance that could occur
The medicine seems to function well regarding preventing/alleviating symptoms of the asthma itself but I will nonetheless discontinue using it due to how very unwell I am currently feeling which I suspect is due to the perceived side-effects (which also have made it hard to perform at work). Instead, I will go back to using the inhalers I had before.
After taking this drug for 3 years, I began having hip, knee and leg pain. I stopped taking fosamax for 4 weeks and all pain disappeared. My PCP encouraged me to try again. After 2 doses, I had the worst pain all over my body I've ever had in my life. After 3 months the pain is subsiding (I now am taking an antinfiammatory drug prescribed by an orthopedic dr ). I will never take this drug again and tell everyone I know to stay away from it.
Didn’t seem to improve my mood at all. Going off Lamictal coincided with my mood getting quite a bit worse, but also coincided with the 2-year anniversary of my mom’s death (correlation does not equal causation). The headaches tapered off after a few weeks, the rash after a few months.
Sinus issues, fatigue, drowsiness
Called the Dr. and explained my symptoms they told me to remove the current patch and discontinue use and stated that a lot of patients have been having similiar complaints...she stated the bleeding I have is not considered breakthrough bleeding. Wish it would have worked for me because aside from all the side effects it was much better than remembering to take a daily pill
I've just begun taking Topamax & find that I have numb and tingly fingers, my temper seems to be raging and I have to control it, it's really strange. I did notice that I started to get a migraine, but it never became full blown today, it actually went away before it became full blown which I was thankful for. I have noticed some nausea and not a great appetite..which is fine, I have lost about 5 lbs in 7 days, which I am also not complaining about. I hope it works for my headaches, but the tingly fingers are really annoying.
I find it helps with the pain but doesn't totally take it away. I actually like that because it helps keep me from over doing anything. I still do mind you, but at least I am aware of it. I still have my job and without morphine it would be impossible. I try to take it only when needed or when I am sure it is going to be a rough day. For example on weekends fishing with my sons or doing any long standing or physical work.
