 5  H Pylori Ever lick a 9 volt battery when you were a kid? Yeah, Same Taste. The "runs" on day 7-10. Terrible Lethergy, depression, felt like i was being pelted by a professional boxer in the solar plexus at times - But there were also moments where the "sun peeked through the clouds", felt good and kept me going! To hell and back, but definately worth it - i almost quit because i actually felt worse before i got better - then 2 days after my 2 week therapy - WOW!!!, i finally rid myself of the 2 year funk i was in!!! If you can stand it, please try to stick it out - you might be suprised at the results! I got my life back!!!! Now i've switched over to the homeopathic makula honey/mastic - just to be safe - I shan't go thru that ordeal again - i tell you for sure... M 42 14 days

 5  h pylori stomach pain, needle pricks all over due to low iron caused by lack of digestion due to low acid caused by prevacid. also, tired, anxiety and elevated BP(with history of high bp). i felt terrible while on it but i feel like it saved my life. my stomach would feel like it was vibrating and also felt like fainting all due to an misdiagnosis. i was on antacid for months. kaiser permanete failed to check for h pylori and just threw antacids at the problem. the low iron was because of amount of time i was on prevacid, it keeps you from producing enough acid to break down the food wholly. what helps with food digestion while on agressive antacid regamine is pineapple juice. after the prevpac. normality returns within 6 minths to a year depending how much damage th h pylori bug caused. better to go through the 2 weeks of feeling miserable than to have a lifetime of problems. rough it out, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

 2  H. Pylori Feeling kinda lost and confused, dreamy like state a bit but in a bad way. Insomnia with anxiety and lea ding to panic attacks, also rising depression. This treatment is evil and I knew it was that's why I had put it off for a whole year as I did this for H. Pylori 10 years ago and I remembered how bad it was, except now the worse of side effects wasn't nausea and candida, it was god damn insomnia and anxiety and depression levels rising, even after treatment was over.

 1  H Pylori Loose stool, peeing a lot, constant nausea that would last for hours, stomach distress, digestive distress, slight Thrush. On my fifth dose I woke up from sleep with my heart pounding through my chest. Heart rate was normal, but heart was POUNDING, and as a result, two hours later, I am extremely anxious. I have to admit, I've been extremely hesitant about taking PrevPac, but I went ahead and did it anyway. Even after my insurance kicked in, PrevPac was $128 and change, and I don't like wasting that much money, because honestly, I don't have $128 to waste, but before I went to sleep this morning, I messaged my doctor, told him of the side affects, went to sleep, and woke up with the pounding heart in my chest. I'm not sure how to react to it, but to be weirded out and extremely anxious! I'm going to call into work because of it! M 37 3 days

 5  H. Pylori/stomach ulcer I had the standard side effects loose stool metallic taste sometimes tired sometimes awake. Pretty much just made you some times like not getting better... because of so many pills. Not digging the yeast or the acid reflux. It seems during the medication. Really no acid reflux but now it's more prevalent. But overall satisfaction very pleased. Got testing next week hopefully it will be cleared out of my system... if not I'll try something else :-) F 40 2 weeks

 5  H. Pylori/Ulcer A bit of direahha only when I took the pills in the morning and went back to sleep for an hour or so. Upon waking up and eating,I had some stomach problems for about a half hour. Other than that, I was VERY pleased with the medication. I was suprised I handled THAT many antibiotics. THANK YOU PREVPAC! F 19 14 days

 5  H.Pylori/Ulcer Brief faintness, some diarrhea, "metalic" taste common with some antibiotics First day taking pills, upon completing the evening dose I felt very warm on my face/flushed, and got a dizzy spell while shopping and needed to sit for a bit. After that incident that feeling never came back again. A bit of diarrhea came ONLY when I woke up early, took my meds, went back to sleep and woke up. However, when I took the meds with breakfast or dinner, I did not have diarrhea. Other than that, no terrible stomach aches or other related problems. The "metalic" taste came within 10-15 minutes of taking the antibiotics. It went away if I quickly drank a glass or two of water. No biggie. Considering how terrified I was to start the Prevpac fearing I'd be sick from the antibiotics, my experience with it was great and my ulcer issues were 99.9% better before even finishing the bacteria-killing wonder treatment. Thank goodness for this med! F 22 14 days

 5  stomach bacteria I haven't experienced much. But I am extra gassy, and ALWAYS HUNGRY! It's possible that I am experiencing normal hunger, as it's been so long that I've felt hunger. I got a stomach bacteria from contaminated restaurant food (beware of Elephant Bar) and was nauseated, bloated, and always felt like I had just eaten an entire buffet-and could only get a small amount of food down. Now I feel hungry a lot of the time-which is a little uncomfortable-but easier to deal with than my previous symptoms. I really like this drug, and hope it works. I've only been on it for 4 days now, but if it takes are of my nasty bacteria than it's TOTALLY worth it. F 25 4 days

 5  H-Pylori Metallic taste, yeast infection and thrush Aside from the side effects mentioned, I was surprised that I was able to handle these massive amounts of anti-biotics. My symptoms cleared up, but unfortunately my H-Pylori was not killed using prevpac. I must now try another plan of attack. F 40 14 days

 4  H. pylori I have a distasteful metallic taste. Nausea and loss of appetite, very sore muscles, often pain on my right side and back. Stomach feels pretty weird and funny sharp pains one in a while. Cannabis helped my side effects helped me sleep and avoid some of the discomforts. Also helped with my appetite. Mezzo Soup did me well too. Overall I don't complain much, the antibiotics are rounding up my soldiers getting the work done and cannabis ingested and smoked to aid the side effects. Great team!

 4  H. Pylori bacteria with ulcer Where do I begin? major nausea with occasional vomiting, pain in upper right side of abdomen,gas, bloating,headaches,mood swings,achy joints. and the most bitter taste in my mouth ever. and last but not least...lethargy. I did find that a probiotic such as Dan Activ is helping a little while on this medication so far..I am on day 6 of 14.I wonder how much more my 116 lb body can handle.It has been rough to say the least. This is my second bout of H.Pylori and I am praying it isgoing to cure it for good..Compared to the pain from the ulcer, I guess the PrevPac is the lesser of the two evils if the ulcer is healed after this..
