My 16 y.o. son just stopped his Biaxin today ( today was day 8 of a 10 day course of 500mg twice a day). He has been so fatigued and occasionally achy and dizzy. He was prescribed this antibiotic for lung congestion following a nasty flu virus that knocks you down and then leaves you with a terrible cough . He is sleeping most of the day. He stopped taking it ... took only 1 dose... yesterday. (11/12/10).
I have never seen my son sleep this much. Never! It is very strange. He doesn't seem to care about much else, other, except sleep. It has been a bizaare experience and I hope it stops soon! Am wondering if anyone knows how long he could have the side effects from the Biaxin. He is drinking much fluids and taking vit C and magnesium to flush his system out. Thanks
