 3  Skin Infection Insatiable, ravenous hunger like I have never experienced in my life. Feeling hungry all the time but eating isn't relieving the hunger for long. Anxious and a bit spaced out. Bloated stomach which is constantly rumbling. I feel a bit annoyed that I was prescribed such a strong drug when I have such a sensitive stomach. Going back to Dr tomorrow to see if he can give me something more suited to me. On a positive note, my skin is improving, so they do work.. but at what cost. F 48 6 days

 2  Chest Infection Insatiable hunger, dry retching, prolonged backache, stomach cramps and bloating Not sure why my GP gave me this, looking at previous comments - it is irritating a pre-existing condition. Can't work out if it's doing any good for the chest infection, but the side effects are pretty bizarre. F 30 10 days

 1  Acne WORST THING EVER! Not even being dramatic. I began taking this pill first day was horrible stomach cramps. I was literally in bed holding on to my stomach because it hurt so bad. So I stopped taking it. Week later started to take it was on it for about 2 weeks. I would get cramps but I thought it was from my period because I was getting it soon. After I finished my period I was out and I drank pepsi(which I barely ever do) got home and took my pill and went to sleep. I finally woke up next morning with horrible cramps. Thought it was nornal so I didn't stress about it to much. Ate cereal and threw it all up!:( nausea, lower and upper stomach cramps, some type of heartburn/chest pain. Bloated, diarreah with constipation,so hungry but once I ate stomach cramps got bad,felt weak, body hurt, ALWAYS tired. I've been off it for almost 2 weeks and still feelings some of these side effects. Takes time for them to wear off because they have half a life/: F 19 1 months

 1  Ear Infection Had nagging pains in stomach all day Sunday (started taking them on saturday morning). Woke up at 3am Monday morning with severe stomach pains. Throwing up bile, literally as my body produced it, as I had nothing left to throw up. Couldn't move in fear of making pain worse....finally was able to sleep at 10am after throwing up 2 mixing bowl's worth of bile (sorry). I'm quite often poorly but cannot remember the last time I was hurting THAT much; my pain threshold is fairly high. Had to stop taking tablets as was unable to keep anything down. Just started to feel back to my normal self now (Tuesday night). Please be careful when taking these tablets. I went to a walk-in centre as drugs my GP gave were not working. I will never take a drug from a doctor without first looking into it myself first. I would rather allow the bacteria to mutate then go through pain like that again. Lesson learnt. F 19 3 days
