strep throat
"I am allergic to penicillin and a few other antibiotics, so this was the best choice to clear my strep. Outside of the terrible metallic taste that I experienced within 6 hours of taking the Clarithromycin, the medication works very well. After 24 hours of being on this medication my throat feels so much better, my dizziness has subsided, and I no longer feel extremely weak and fatigued. My stomach is a little upset but it is not unbearable. I would rather take a minor upset stomach and metallic taste in my mouth over the extreme throat pain and fatigue the strep caused. As far as insomnia I'm more of a night owl so I couldn't say if the medication has contributed to my restlessness. I think this medication is a great therapy for strep."
