Diarrhoea at the beginning and itchiness resembling scabies. Also SGOT and SGPT were elevated. After decreasing the dose from 20 to 10 mg per day side effects dissapeared.
am only on day 2 of a 7day course and i am dreading the next 5days! Have had horrible stomache cramps and nausea all day and no painkillers are easing it. I suffer from IBS and thought i was having an episode with that but hadnt ate or done anything different,thats when i realised it could be the antibiotics,checked on net and came accross this site.
I do not recommend this drug to anyone. Even with an add back. Especially anyone that already has a anti-inflammatory disorder or disease. I never experienced such adverse side effects from a medication until Lupron. Horrible.
Increased the HDL from 37 to 53. Stopped taking this medication 4 weeks ago and severe side effects still persist. Never had any reaction so unpleasant before.Was happy and healthy and very fit prior to taking this drug. Now continually miserable.

My husband and I had 1st and 2nd vaccine shot by PFIZER at a CVS.1st shot caused us both a very sore arm, tiredness; with a headache that lasted a day or so. Myself, I did vomit one time on the 3rd day and also had night sweats too but all went away on the 4th day of 1st shot. 2nd shot was about the same side effects for us both except my husband had a severe headache for about a week after and a sore arm for a long time too. I was lucky and all issues above lasted withs second shot only a few days. No sweats with 2nd shot either. Both of us, after 2 weeks, feel fine now. Glad we go the shot. To be safer for all is important.
