 3  ear infection Lucid dreams, intense stomach cramps, diarrhoea like water after each tablet, excess gas/wind, nausea, no appetite yet hunger pains, nothing tastes like it should. Horrible side effects The side effects meant I had to take a week off work...but they are clearing my ear infection which has been agony. I'm allergic to pencilin so guess this is the alternative.

 1  Dental infection Severe stomach pains. Indigestion. Loss of appetite. Bloated abdomen Would rather have the toothache than this drug again. Had to stop taking it after 36hrs as the stomach cramps were making it hard for me to even move or breathe. Then had to take antacids to relieve indigestion for another 48 hours. Hated it F 29 5 days

 1  Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severe hunger pains, lethargy, nausea/sickness, itching. I have suffered from severe hunger pains since starting this medication, which has been impossible to fix. Constantly feeling tired is another major drawback of them. I've been going between constant nausea or actually being sick, and have been suffering with itching which started after taking them. Awful, awful drug that for my condition, is completely unnecessary (does nothing) and just adds horrible symptoms on top of the horrible symptoms already being suffered. F 31 6 months

 1  Throat infection Wind, severe stomach cramps, D&V.. So far I'm only on day 2 and I have spent the day either curled in ball, on or next to the toilet! After readings lot of reviews I'm glad I'm not alone but why do they still prescribe this? They don't seem to advise any solutions so the side affects it advise how long after completing I will feel normal! It spoilt my Christmas and I want to be ok for New Years!! F 28 5 days

 5  Terrible cough Incredible hunger and extreme fatigue. I have never been so tired and so hungry in all my life. Actually, that's not true, the only other time was when I was pregnant/breastfeeding. Went and bought a pregnancy test because I couldn't figure out what was going on then read all the comments on this site. Every time I eat something, about 5 minutes later I feel like I'm starving again. It is SO frustrating because I know I can't be THAT hungry after eating. F 31 6 days

 3  Throat infection Day 2 - chronic diarrhoea, sudden without warning. Severe stomach pulsing pain. Swollen stomach, tiredness. Dry retching through entire night. Although I feel original illness being aided - just not worth all these side effects. Lost whole weekend & will have to take a few days off work to recover. F 46 5 days
