Comment:
After intercourse with my boyfriend (no condom), I developed a strange odour and unusual discharge. I knew it wasn't the same as my usual discharge.

I was prescribed this medication for 7 days ×a day.for the first 4 days I had severe diarrhea, where I actually couldn't eat anything and stand next to the bathroom everywhere I go.

Firstly, it worked and got rid of the smell and infection. However, the side effects are AWFUL. I was dizzy nauseous, and exhausted for all seven days of treatment, and am still nauseous and vomiting after treatment.
