I had a severe reaction in my mouth and throat. Felt like my tongue was on fire and swallowing over small rocks. Had a bad case of thrush.Could not eat for 5 days. Had to come off it.

Horrible drug for me. On it two weeks with severe nausea, some vomiting, dizziness, tingling in feet and black floating dots in vision. I've been off it 5 days now and still have the nausea and floating dots.

AFTER MY LUNG REMOVAL I WAS PLACED ON THIS MEDICATION ALONG WITH 2 OTHER ANTIBIOTICS. I WAS TO TAKE THIS MEDICATION FOR A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS WITHOUT INTERUPTION. WHEN I REACH 10 1/2 MONTHS MY VISION WENT BLANK.. LOST MY SITE FOR A PERIOD OF 16 MONTHS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF VISION PROBLEMS, I HAD ALREADY RETURNED TO WORK AND THE LIGHTS JUST WENT OUT. SO BE CARFUL

This medication made me extremmely ill, the Doctors had to keep taking me off of it periodically to let my liver have a rest and let me feel like I wasn't going to die for a few days. I don't know if it's helped with the infection or not, I am still getting the headaches I was getting before the diagnosis of a rare type of non infectious Tuberculosis.
