Does anyone have any nausea side effects from it? Been taking it at night with a snack and have been fine a month and a half in but am now waking with AM nausea again and have trouble eating until around lunch time.

Been taking it for about 6 months now, daily. No side effects related to stomach.

Clarithromyacin did leave a taste in my mouth constantly though.

I do get nausea from it, so I always take it at night with my last snack shortly before bed.

It took 20 years to find out I'm not crazy.
New bite in 2010 pushed my body over the edge. Positive for lyme, babs, bart, and myco.
I am not a doctor and happily offer only my own opinions.

I had to work up to 1 250mg pill of zith starting with 1/4 pill. Yeah, it suppresses the appetite and I've shrunk my stomach.

The worst symptom for me is the depression. Lots of crying jags. Zith does that to me.

My doc wants me to dose to 500mg. I don't think I can do this.

However, I need to take it. Doxy no longer works for me and Cipro/Levaquin are out of the question.
