Erythromycin makes me feel like I haven't EATEN ALL DAY!!

[BandEsMom86]

I was prescribed Erythromycin for a tooth infection. I am allergic to amoxicillin and penicillin. I have NEVER been put on Erythromycin for an infection. I usually get Zithromax or Clindamycin. Anyway, I take my antibiotic after every general meal time. This morning I had 3 pancakes from McDonald's, and I felt satisfyingly full. About an hour and a half later, my stomach is growling!! Like I haven't eaten in days!! It's so annoying...because I'm NOT hungry, but my body is saying something different!! Anyone else have this problem??

No, it makes me vomit so badly I want to die. So I guess there are worse things than hunger haha

I’m on day 4 of 7 of Erythromycin today - am about to post about the circumstance that lead to this actually. I too am allergic to Penicillin (not as a child, but after an illness that meant I was on IV Penicillin which then caused me to become allergic).
Anyway, I’m desperately trying to avoid the agonising heartburn it gives me by “lining my stomach” before every dose.
My tummy is growling but that may be because all I’ve eaten is liquids since Friday.
Anyhow, good luck with finishing the course. How many days do you have left?!

It is the worst, it made me both nauseous and absolutely ravenous at the same time.

It is a prokinetic. It speeds up the natural motion of your guts, emptying your stomach quicker and making you hungry.
