    I had some nausea, but nothing serious. And I did partake in alcohol without getting "violently ill"...in fact, every night lol. The metallic taste is bad, but easily overcome by dropping pill down your throat with some water...don't let it touch your tongue. And the end results...it took care of the funk :)

One should eat half a meal, take medicine, then eat the other half. Taking it with any diary product seem to make side effects worse. Sandwiches are a good thing to eat with it and hot tea for your tummy. Alcohol will make you puke, and I ... Show Full Comment

    I left a tampon in for who knows- a few days? And Upon going to Planned Parenthood they prescribed me this. It is a pill, so easy to take, but tastes bad. I was also taking Diflucan oral on day one and after day 7. So not sure if the dark urine was the M or the D. But after ending the M and just being on the D I had no dark urine and no more afternoon just complete tiredness. Reading the pamphlet ... Show Full Comment

    I honestly don't have any symptoms while taking this drug. Although, I will get a headache, nausea and dizzy if I am in the sun too long or overexert myself. My body feels light and happy lol I got a prescription because I like to clear my body out every once in a while... Ill usually get a prescription if I come across any odor down there that I havent been able to wash away. All and all, thi ... Show Full Comment
