Many reviewers wrote such horrible side effects, I have had none of them. On my 6th day now. After reading these reviews I was scared to death to take this. After talking to a pharmacist, I felt much better. No side effects at all. My sinus blockage is much better now. Would take again.

I was prescribed this medicine due to flu like symptoms and congestion. On the first day I received the pack at night and took the first 6 tablets as it states to on the pack to do when you first receive it. The entire night I had cold sweats. I sleep in a robe, which I do every night but on this night I was totally drenched with sweat and shivering all night. Through out the night and on to the n...

I have Lyme Disease and I was first given the drug before I was diagnosied. I have been having really bad alergic Reactions to the sun. The first time I ever took I felt better then I have in years, but the symptoms keep coming back shortly after I stop taking the drug. I have really bad arthritis and other problems from the Lyme this drug is the best thing to make me feel better! I hope my dr keeps giving it to me. I don't have any side effects it has all been good things that have come from this drug for me.Read More Read Less

Condition: Severe Allergy's! My Dad has bad allergy's and recomended taking this during the bad season which is now. Zyrtec, Claritin and all other allergy medications were like candy to me. I could not breath at night, sinus congestion, runny nose, coughing!!!. Need I say more. I went to my PCM and told him give me this treatment. I took the 5 day pack and on the first 6 pills I was new man. This drug works and gives me tons of energy. When I am in the gym working out, I never feel pain and work out harder. Side effect? maybe but it's a good one! After the one time treatment I am now on Flownase and workd great! For all those allergy suffers, I highly recommend this combonation. Worked for my dad and worked for me. Bad side is that you might have too much energy. Read More Read Less

I developed Polymyalgia Rheumatica. It took 3 days for a diagnosis - during which time I was paralyzed and in severe pain. 1 day on Medrol and the pain was almost gone. By the second day, the paralysis and pain were almost completely gone.

My body itched all over and I was prescribed this medicine. I took two tablets a day for 7 days; 1 tablet a day for 7 days; 1/2 tablet for 7 days. I got a slight rash right away but after I stopped taking it, I got a red rash all over my body. Then I started getting chilled and each day is worse.I did not realize any real improvement while taking this medication. Apparently I am allergic to this medication. My doctor is baffled.

GOUT sufferers this is the miracle drug! I had the terrible pain in my left toe. Unbearable! Could not walk on that foot or get a shoe on from the swelling. I took the dose pack and after just the 1st 6 tablets (taken all on the first night per instructions), with a couple of Ibuprofen and I was totally fine. Shoe on, no pain, back to normal. Keep taking the full dose though or pain (starting with a twinge) will come back) Take it all, pain gone for several months. NO SIDE EFFECTS I work 12 hours days and travel 100%.Read More Read Less

Took prilosec 1 hr b4 taking, also took it with food and no stomach upset. First day had a headache not sure if from med or from coughing so hard. 5th day dose went to doc for check up and my blood pressure was elevated a bit, told me to do a low salt diet for 2 weeks. Breathing is great, some aches and pains again not sure if from meds or coughing my head off. Was on the pack and doc informed me to take the doses all at once each of the 6 days, was nervous bout this. Tomorrow is my last dose and it wasnt bad, just hope my pressure goes back to where it was. Read More Read Less

Is this drug making me loopy, or is it the Ultram I'm taking with it? I can't stop smiling, which is very unusual for me. My back even stopped hurting for a minute.

I have undiagnosed pain in my left lower back, and left upper leg. Also my left knee is sore and stiff. My left elbow is also very sore and stiff, and the left side of my neck and upper back. The medicine has relieved almost all of the stiffness associated with whatever I have,except for my left elbow, which hurts the same. I only wish I could take it daily, because after about a week off the medicine all my symptoms return full force, but doctor has stated that it is dangerous to take this medicine for more than twice a year. That gives me two whole weeks a year with relief.Read More Read Less

I am using the dose pack. With the first dose my chest pain went away. The subsequent doses have only caused my sinuses to be irritated, my throat to be soar, chills and weird dreams! I am also taking Biaxin (antibiotic). Im thinking about stopping this treatment prior to dose pack completion.
