Zithromax Z-pak Sinus Infection, Liver Damage, Intestinal Problems, Perfect Health, Rashes
30 year old male. Very similar -- never sick, always healthy, not allergic to anything. Had what my doctor believed was a sinus infection. I took this medicine (also 5-day) more than a year and a half ago and I am still a wreck.

30 year old male. Very similar -- never sick, always healthy, not allergic to anything. Had what my doctor believed was a sinus infection. I took this medicine (also 5-day) more than a year and a half ago and I am still a wreck. Because of the constant build up of lactic acid in my legs now and the writhing pain there I've been afraid to go to the doctor's because I believe I may have irreparable liver damage.
Additionally this medicine has turned my skin from being normal and balanced to me having painful red rashes on my hands and odd break-outs on my face as well as intestinal problems and off and on shortness of breath.
I blame myself for taking anything in the first place. I should have just been sick and (eventually) gotten better. Once I go to the doctor and get bloodwork done, if my liver is indeed damaged because of this antibiotic, I will find a way to get a lawsuit against these manufacturers. They have literally altered my life, potentially forever.
Again, DON'T GO NEAR IT! It's not worth it. Perfectly healthy guy right here. Completely destroyed by this medicine.
NEVER, EVER, EVER take this medication. I don't care if you've never been allergic to anything, if you're in perfect health
