I am taking Biaxin along with amoxicillin 500mg. I have noticed a severe bitter taset to the point where I am gagging & coughing. It almost seems like I could blow out the sensation of fumes from it. It is very extreme & really does casue me to gag to the point I may vomit. Is this common &/or will some of it subside? iIam worried that I will not be able to tolerate taking this medicine.
Thank you for any suggestions you can give me.

I recently moved to this area and about two weeks ago I went to a DO. for the first time.

He put me on this medicine for a terrible cough, he said I could easily end up with bronchitis.

When I took this medicine, I immediately had a strange almost metal taste in my mouth and it made me feel sick to my stomach.

When I called the doctor, he told me he would not change my medication because this was the right medicine for me. 

I took myself off of the medication and took a prescription of amoxicillin that I have for my dental work. 

My cough has greatly improved, but I am still coughing. Do you think it will eventually go away?
