Zithromax help needed; Ethel? Zithromax users?

[Guest guest]

I took Zithromax, 250 mg, on Monday and Friday last week, my non-Minocin

days. Both days, along with fatigue, I had mild cramping 1 1/2 hours after

taking it and GI discomfort with 1 episode of a touch of diahrrea at the two

hour point. This was followed by mild nausea for 5-6 hours. Do these

symptoms sound familiar? Do they stop after some sort of adjustment period?

I am on a trial period of 8 weeks with Zithromax. My GP says not to

increase to 500 mg two days a week if the symptoms continue. Both days I

took acidophilus before breakfast, Zithromax at noon and acidophilus again

before supper.

P.S. Ethel, if I can't increase to 500 mg twice weekly, will 250 mg twice

weekly be enough to do anything beneficial?
