hard to remember to take the medication. Has to stop with the yellow and black capsule, as it made my symptoms worse. Doctor had already told me if it did to leave it off. It wasn't that bad to take, just keeping up with it or being where it was available to take 4 times a day.
I am about half way into the regiment and hate how I feel but I am thinking that I will feel better if I stop my vitamins and dairy. Nothing told me about that in the booklet. But like most of you I am experiecing black water stools, very bad fatique and some stomach cramping.
I have taken this medication for the treatment of H-Pylori. I stpped taking this drug after 10 days. I found myself with no energy and wanted to be in the bed all day long. The side effects also included Black stool, nausea, and stomach cramps. I don't know if taking this medication for only ten days has helped me or not. In about a month I will have my stool tested again, and repost my experience.
the side affect's were very bad,I had to talk myself into taking the pill's everyday, but did all of the treatment,but the treament did not work
I had an allergic reaction when I took this therapy. Unfortunately, with three meds involved, I have no idea which one caused it. Be careful when taking this, and like all medicine tell you doctor if you have a side effect!
I am on my 14th day - last dose for tx of H-Pylori. Two prior attempts with antibiodics did not work. It has been a long two weeks and I almost tossed the last two packs but am sticking with it even though it has been unpleasant!!! Had to leave work today due to vomiting saliva looking substance - again. Anyway one more pack to go. If this does not work off to infectious desease center - Jun 1 results pending?????
Just started. Green stools and no energy. And after reading reviews about not working, cramps, black tongues and darkening teeth, I think I'll stop. Is it worth it? I'm already in it for $300.
I have just started this treatment, I will come back at a later date to make another review. On the chart it doesn't say not to lay down after taking this medication. why?
The side effects are worse than the reason for taking the medication. I had diarrhea for two weeks, black tongue and excruiating abdominal pain.

I was only able to complete 7 days of the 14 day treatment. I became bloated, nauseated and had a very difficult time eating. I couldn't sleep laying down, had to sleep in a recliner due to the heartburn. On the 8th day I woke up unable to stand or walk because of the intense pain in my legs and ankles. I spent 6 days in the hospital, hooked up to an IV trying to get my potassium back on level, while three doctors scratched their heads. (It finally took a female dr. to listen to my story and put me on steriods to clear away the pain, and none of them took the time to call the dr. who prescribed the meds to start with.)
