| Benefits: | | My infection cleared up almost before the dosage was done. Has not come back. |
| Side effects: | | Mild upset stomach. |
| Comments: | | I took this once a day for eight days for a vaginal bacterial infection. I only had slight side effects of an upset stomach after taking the pill; probably because I had not eaten much on those days. My infection cleared up noticably before the treatement was through. I feel it was very effective. |

| Benefits: | | not worth the cost of the side effects. Becasue I was so miserable, I discontinued the medication early and opted for a more conventional anti-biotic. |
| Side effects: | | nausea, upset stomach, insomnia, and a general feeling sick. I felt like I was going to throw up if I so much as drank water, I got very tired and week but could not sleep due to constant dry heaving. |
| Comments: | | I was told to take it so I did. the more I took the more miserable I got, until I called my doctor and said, I can not take this. I dont know if I am alergic or what but I cant and I wont take any more of it. it still took almost two days for the side effects to go away. |

Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | diareaha |
| Dosage & duration: | | 500 mg taken 3 a day for the period of 3 weeks |
| Other conditions: | | leukemia |
| Other drugs taken: | | marinol | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | I didn't see any benefits, what else can I say? I had to take this to counteract the side effects of clindamycin. |
| Side effects: | | Anorexia, insomnia, bone and joint pain, vomiting, irritability ( I'm still pissed about all this). Weakness depression, suicidal ideation, so weak I have been unable to leave my bed for more than a couple of hours a day. I'd rather just shit myself to death than to take this crap. Christ, if I didn't have leukemia, I just wouldn't even go to doctors. I mean, their ok if you need to get put back together after an accident or something, but most of the time they, and their petrochemical nostrums, just seem to cause mote problems than they cure. |
| Comments: | | 3 pills a day for two weeks, symptoms came back, took it 4 more days and then, knowing what would be in store for me if I took it; I found that I could not force myself to take even one more pill. |
