Absolutely horrible experience. After the second dose, The stomach pains and nausea were crippling. I vomited for 24 hours, and five days later still have stomach pains, although they have subsided somewhat. I’ve lost 7 pounds in one week. Now, five days later, the diarrhoea has started. This vaccine has salmonella! Why in the world do they sell this!

I was very hesitant to take this medication after reading the reactions in the reviews on this site. Just finished my 4th pill and had no side effects. In the literature it said less than 10% of people have side effects. This may be an understatement but just to let people know that not everyone experiences side effects from these pills.

Took the pills first thing in the morning with large glass of water as recommended and waited an hour. Finished the regime with no side effects whatsoever. Pretty pleased, hope it established a good immunity.

Extreme side effects (vomiting, diarrhea, headache, body ache but not allergic symptoms) from first dosage, 12 hours after taking. Bedridden, but ok at 36 hours. Am going to continue with second pill to see if effects are the less, same, or worse.

One of the side effects of this drug (reasonably common) is stomach pain. I took mine at night and was fine until morning, at which point I would experience waves of nausea and pain. Currently I am 3/4 complete with no issues (no vomiting) so I will finish the dose. However I do not recommend it - the shot is a lot easier and in the long run less painful I would say!

I had no problem with VIVOTIF BERNA except that it is not covered under Medicare Plan D because this is not an FDA approved drug. Check with your provider before taking this drug.

I took the first pill and had some mild abdominal pain about 24 hours after taking it. The pain worsened overnight, but I went ahead and took the second pill on day 3. My abdominal pain worsened and by day 4 I was vomiting and in bed. I stopped taking the pills and ended up in bed for four days with a really bad headache, mild fever, vomiting, very bad abdominal pain and no energy. I was not able to finish the four pill regimen so I am going to get the shot in a few weeks.

I took the first pill and felt fine. The second pill caused me to have odd dreams. The third pill gave me insomnia. I am feeling ill this morning as well. I will be glad when the last pill is gone. I think my son has some insomnia as well. My daughter, a bit younger, coughs quite a bit and gets stuffy after taking the pill. I am going to try taking the 4th pill in the morning.
