| 5 | h pylori | None | Pharmacist recommended only taking on a full stomach, even though the instructions say empty stomach, 1 hour before meals. Feeling great and have no side effects at all. Cheers to pharmacists!! | F | 7 days 2X day | 6/16/2015 | 3 | bacteria in liver | Taste of metal in mouth stomache aches no appetite | F | 44 | 7 days 3060mg | 6/10/2015 | 1 | h pylori | Only withstood this murder cocktail for seven days . Almost killed me worst week of my life. Loss of appetite and worse the ppi side effect bring constant hunger pangs | M | 40 | 7 days | 11/28/2014 | 2 | h pilory | Pain in legs and arm increase my heart rate , nausea, lost of appetite | F | 28 | 5 days | 7/29/2014 | 1 | H Pylori | Bad metal taste in mouth, stomach pains the morning of the second day, tremors and anxiety the night of the first day, just an overall awful feeling when taking this medication | I normally do have some anxiety, but on this medication it was worse. I've only taken 2 doses, one full day of this medication, but I'm ready to quit. I wouldn't take this medication during a stressful time. Be prepared to take it easy for 2 weeks and feel like crap. | F | 21 | 14 days 2X day | 7/19/2014 | 1 | H pylori | Sucked so much | M | 15 | 7 days | 3/28/2014 | 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! | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 10/21/2013 | 1 | Back pain, headaches, pounding heart, loss of breath, weakness. I stopped using this after the 2nd day I felt weak and at risk. | F | 16 | 1 days | 7/16/2013 | 1 | Unidentified gastro infection | Nausea, watery diarrhea, mood swings, chest pains, headache, nightmares, odd taste in mouth, loss of appetite. | Was told to take this for 7 days due to an infection that wasn't named clearly to me by any doctor. Was to take an hour before food. Two hours after the first dose, the nausea and diarrhea came. After two days, I had to stop taking it because I physically couldn't eat. Turns out most of my nausea from before I started taking the antibiotics was simply IBS. | F | 21 | 7 days 2X day | 6/6/2013 | 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.. | F | 56 | 6 days 30 MG 2X day | 4/29/2013 | 3 | H-pylori | HEADACHES!!!!! neck pain, dizzy, depressed, malaise, feel like crap. | I will say that I had most of these symptoms before starting prevpac. I have felt the sickest I have ever felt in my entire life! I want this bug out of me, I have lost 25lbs, no appetite, belching like a truck driver and stomach pain so bad at times I would cry. so I will try to keep going with this med & if it does not eradicate the problem then I will go with makula honey and mantula tea | F | 54 | 5 days 2X day | 4/24/2013 | 3 | h-pylori/ulcer/stomach bacteria | Gas, bloating, metalic taste in mouth, little heartburn. | F | 36 | 2 days 30 | 3/29/2013 | 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 2X day | 11/16/2012 | 3 | H.pylori | Nausea and acute chest pains Day 2 headache Metal mouth But I feel really gaseous. There is also a feeling of relief in my stomach too. | F | 26 | 2 days ? | 10/27/2012 | 3 | h pylori | Dizzy the 1st day, and nausea 2nd day as well as vomitting. Pain in right side lower back. | I've never felt so bad taking a medication in my life. | M | 43 | 14 days 2X day | 10/9/2012 | 3 | h pylori antibodies present | female, post meno...while the h pylori bacteria wasn't active, i was putting out antibodies...as a precaution to having bariatric surgery, i was prescribed this med. have very metallic taste in mouth, had been constipated due to other meds, so prevpac helped even that out. no yeast (due to age?). tongue swollen somewhat, thirsty. confused/forgetful, but not sure of origin of those issues. too soon after finishing to tell. | it wasn't as horrid as I thought. hopefully it's gone, as I just wouldn't want to take that again....supposed to be taken on empty stomach, but that was too harsh for me, so I took 2-3 hrs after eating. husband is on same routine, he has no complaints after 12 days. | F | 60 | 14 days usual 2X day | 9/30/2012 | 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 Standard | 8/9/2012 | 1 | H-Pylori | First day, took first pack in the morning, having dizziness.

I will not take tonight package and tomorrow one which is the last one out of 14 daysx 2D. I really regreat that why didn't I research earlier then I did not have to go through all those scary symptom and be patient with anxiety. It could've put me into deadly situation. I am glad I know what was the reason and even if this symptom contiuously happen, ( I saw on Med. research, these symptom can continue weeks to a year). I will discuss with my MD DR.next week as I have an appointment on next Wednesday. It IS horrible medicine.
