Thoughts
I was taking this drug for bronchitis, and was prescribed it because it's not very expensive. You definitely get what you pay for! The past three weeks have been hell; the first week AFTER I stopped it I had diarrhea and stomach pains every day; into the second week now and the diarrhea has stopped but still getting the stomach pains. I have overactive digestion as it is, and this medication has almost completely killed my stomach. Definitely stock up on probiotic yogourt, as you need to eat it at least 3x daily restore the good bacteria in your stomach that this crap kills off. To top it off, I now have to start a new script (different medication thankfully) to treat my bronchitis, but I have to wait until all my side effects have subsided, hopefully by the end of this week. I'm one of the lucky ones who has taken this medication; my aunt was on it for the same reason, and was hospitalized after a few days because her stomach began to bleed.
