I've been off abx for about 2-3 months now and doing good. I'm working on the candida which is going well also. Anyway, I'm on 5 days of Zithromax for possible pneumonia. Would that short of a treatment cause a relapse of yeast? I'm still going no sugar pretty low carb and on my probiotics. Should I worry?

One other thing. Does Zithromax make you dizzy? It says it a side effect and I took a two pills yesterday and today WOW I feel like a Saturday night in collage. Anyone else?

If you have the same bacterial pneumonia that seems to be sweeping the USA.. the only 2 abx
that I know of that have worked are Levaquin and Amoxycillin..
I'd be interested to hear if Zith works for you (as it has *not* worked for people here in the far north NE USA.)

I have a closet full of Amoxicillin. So, if Zith. doesn't work I'll tap into that. I'll let you know how it goes. I fell better today.

A Z-Pack (Zithromax) worked on a bacterial pneumonia that I had. But, it took 3 months and 3 Z-Packs. Yes, I felt dizzy.

Am on Zith now for Babs and Mycoplasma (the pneumonia one). Seems to be working.
