I have been off the meds for almost 4 weeks now and I still feel the side affects. My muscles are very weak and I continue to have trouble sleeping. The meds did however work and they were easy for me to use. I hope I will not have to do another round of the meds.

I have been taking prevpac for 7 days now, the awful awful taste is indescribable and I had to take it during Thanksgiving! I have not had cramps however I do have a faster heart rate and a enormous yeast infection and the next thing to pop up will be Thrush. I must say that the taste is getting better or maybe I am just getting used to the taste? I hope this helps someone with concerns
