I am now on day 11 of my 14 day treatment. I am taking this for an ulcer caused by H.pylori. I ate something on day 7 that caused me to have a minor ulcer attack. Not too helpful.

Have been on this medication for five days. Have experienced bad taste in my mouth, headache, flu-like symptoms. On the fifth day developed severe chest and back pain that will not subside. Worst medication I have ever taken. Doctor will need to prescribe something else - I refuse to subject myself to the side effects of this terrible medication!

Worst side effects during the 14 day treatment was constant horrible taste, dry mouth, headaches, fatigue, mouth, tongue, and gums super sensitive to everything. Mouth, tongue, lips and gums still very sensitive and numbness 5 days after treatment, it's like I've eaten too many nuclear buffalo chicken wings. Hoping this is the only round of this medication I will need to take.
