Comment:
I swear this drug makes you eat all day! I just finished lunch and I'm already for dinner! I have been on it for 5 days and it appears to be working........slowly. Sometimes light headed and out of sorts but I feel like it is in fact doing it's job gradually.

I've been taking this drug for 6 days already for a sinus and gland infection which was very painful. The symptoms are beginning to slowly dissappear, but the horrible tast in my mouth is driving me crazy, however I have not experienced the stomach problems I usually have when taking antibiotics.

Two week dosing was rough. Left a terrible taste in my mouth & felt dehydrated. Also had to take with a full meal. After the course of treatment, I've got awful stomach cramps, but it wiped out my infection stat.
