4 days into a 10 day regimen I could not tolerate it. Diarrhea, stomach cramps and generally feeling horrible. I refused to take the rest and threw the remaining dosages out... At the time of writing this, I took my last dose 36 hours ago and I'm still not feeling well. I'd like to note that I generally have a high tolerance for medications, but not this one. I had high hopes this medica...

I am currently taking this 10-day treatment. I am on day 2 and I feel great. On day one after I took 1 dosage(three) I started to get a nagging headache. I laid down for awhile and it did go away. I have noticed that my stool is dark and will continue to watch it. So far have not felt bad for one I have deleted all dairy-products out of my diet and I do not intake any time of alcoholic beverages. I am taking contraceptives and will have to use special precautions for that but I will see what will happen the next 8 days and pray I don't have any side effects and will drink plenty of waterRead More Read Less

It's been rough going through this treatment. Even though I have no appetite it's very important to eat as much as possible before taking the medicine. I found that eating a full meal and taking the 3 pills after was very hard. It was easier to eat a little, take 1 pill, wait 10-15 minutes, eat some more then wait another 10-15 minutes before taking the other one until I'd taken all of the pills. It eased my stomach into it and made eating easier. As far as symptoms, I experienced all of them and it's only day 5. Read More Read Less

This is the 2nd round of medication I'm on to get of H. pylori.........as of now I am on day 3 of 10 days, I have not had much nausea unless I overeat, and none of the other side effects. Hopefully this round of medication will finally get rid of this.

After reading most of the reviews I must say I was very uneasy about starting this treatment. Fortunately, I am on day 5 and haven't had any bad side effects. Only a soft stool which has not been a big deal. I keep food in my stomach and I think that has helped to not be nauseated. I'm hoping this will make anyone about to start treatment feel better about it. Good luck!

After reading so many comments about side effects of this drug, I was very concerned about taking it. Fortunately, I am on day four and so far I haven't had any side effects at all. Hopefully, it will continue. I hope this will put to rest some fears others may have about taking this drug. Good luck!

Was scared by all reviews so called dr office. Few times to discuss. AM ate yogurt or oatmeal and piece of toast, lunch - sandwich or salad - Normal dinner and applesauce with last night dose. 16 oz water with each dose - AM and PM took antacid and added probiotic. No side effects except dark stool which comes with any antibiotic. Have 3 more to ight for day 10 so want others to know not everyone has side effects...think positive and eat and drink water as i did and maybe you will get same results or i was just lucky. Had more issue with a hemmorhoid that wss irritated during colonoscopy after they checked my throat and other areas with scope. LOL. Wish all luck that i had.Read More Read Less

I am on day 7 of taking Pylera. I am taking it with a generic prilosec (starts with an O). I'm happy that I saw these reviews because for a minute I thought I was dying lol. These side effects suck. No pain in my stomach but I am nauseous. I have a sluggish like I'm getting sick feeling. I'm peeing a lot and have diarrhea all the time. Did I mention the yeast infection (which was expected). Overall I just feel like crap.

I tested positive for H Pylori. Before taking the medication, I had sever stomach paid, pain under my ribcage, constant nausea, and bloating. I completed day 10 of Pylera 3 days ago. After taking the first full day, I had a metallic taste in my mouth, and dry mouth. As I continued to take it, those went away. I did experience dark stools throughout the course, as well as multiple migraines. I personally noticed a different just after the first day. Now that I am 3 days post, I feel better than I have. I just have to complete two more weeks of Omeperazole and then I can get retested 2 weeks after that again. Overall, it seemed to be effective, just wont know for sure until I get retested.Read More Read Less

This is day one of taking Pylera and these are the symptoms: * Dizziness * Weakness * Tired * Zapping sensation on the right side of my head (this only occurred once for a few minutes) * Nausea * Brain Fog * Jittery/Tingling sensation in my body which fluctuates in intensity * Feeling hungry every 2 hours as if my blood sugar has dropped I experienced some of these prior to being diagnosed with H. Pylori. Praying for endurance and eradication of the H. Pylori...forever! I don't want to take this medication ever again. There has to be a better way to treat H. Pylori. Read More Read Less

I'm finally on day 10 and this has been one of the roughest weeks I can remember. I literally feel like I had the stomach flu because of all the side effects. Exhausted, cramping, diarrhea, and dizziness. Plus a loss of appetite, so even though you need to take the medicine with food, you just don't feel like eating. I hope I start feeling like myself again soon and that the symptoms are gone!

Worse feeling in the word, I am on day 5, and so tempted to give up. I have had non stop cramping,I want to throw up every second of every day. My stools are getting softer and darker. I have pain in my back, neck and shoulders. Along with that this medicine makes me feel very anxious. And the only time I feel okay is when I am sleeping but when I wake up I'm drenched in sweat. I won't give up but I never want to do this again.

I just completed the 10 day regimen and it was the longest 10 days of my life. All symptoms from previous reviews are true, but did not experience the back pain. Felt sick from the beginning with nausea and diarrhea, felt foggy and just out of sorts. I'm on day 2 being off the drug and am feeling better except my symptoms of bad indigestion have returned.

I am currently on day 8 of this 10 day tx and this is my second attempt at getting rid of H. Pylori for good. I am taking pylera along with Lansoprazole 2x a day and zofran as needed to combat the nausea. Side effects: The first 3 days of tx I was extremely nauseous, had headaches, metallic taste, dark urine. During the next 5 days, including today, the nausea has subsided a little bit but I now have constant (every 15 min) diarrhea, black stools and a UTI. Hopefully, all of this will be worth it.Read More Read Less

I am in my 7th day of the treatment and I have had virtually every symptom possible and a true stomach flu which I came down with right after taking it. The advice to eat with the medicine helps but has not stopped the metallic taste, constant nausea, headache or other symptoms. I have never had a medication make me so ill. I sure hope it works as I will not go through this again. This was my second treatment for the bacteria but the first did not work but it also did not make me sick.
