Yes I did, they're are lots of odd side effects you can have with those ones, although some people don't get any. But it's not unusual to get a flutter or racing heartbeat with them, it usually wears off after a while. They are very good though at hitting the infection so if you can cope with side effects you'll probably find they're worth it.

Never had a problem. Took a long time to persuade my GP to change my antibiotics was on amoxicillin which did nothing. Went on toClarithromycin and they do seem to work quickly only used one lot and my chest infection seemed to clear up quickly. GP has now put them in my rescue pack. No problems so happy at the moment
