"My 'faithful' boyfriend of 4 years passed on this horrible infection. We both got tested at the start of our relationship, and both results came back negative. After going through weeks of pain while urinating and a sore throat, I decided to get tested. I was prescribed a single dose of 4 250mg tablets of azithromycin and 2 200mg tablets of Suprax. I was advised to take the dose evenly throughout the day, 1 hour before food. I took each dose 1 hour after each other and ate something small in between. I had no pain in my belly, no upset stomach, or any of the common symptoms, but for 24 hours later, I had a mild ringing in both ears. I got retested 2 weeks later, and everything had cleared up and the discomfort eased the day after I took the tabs."

"Okay, so I was reading all these reviews and got so worked up and scared to take them, everyone saying they had nausea and diarrhea, and I was so scared to take them. But I took them an hour ago after eating a good meal, I took them with Sprite and have been eating a snack, still am feeling fine, not drowsy or anything. I was scared for nothing."

"Okay. I found this website after taking pills. I have a massive anxiety when it comes to medicine, as I had severe allergy reactions. So, I was prescribed 8 x 250 mg to treat gonorrhea. I took each pill every 15 mins, and the last 3 pills I took together. After like 20 mins, I was throwing up with massive pain. I can’t remember the last time I felt so sick. Now I’m writing this while sitting on the toilet with the worst diarrhea in my whole life. It's been 15 mins already. And it’s the second time. So I took it around 4 pm, now it's 9 pm, and I feel like I'm dying. I feel weak, dizzy... but I guess lesson learned the hard way. :) Hopefully, I’m not gonna need to take them again. The experience was the worst I’ve ever had."

"I took the azithromycin tablets 5 hours ago. I've been to the toilet 3 times and have some stomach cramps. I don't feel sick. Just gassy. I wouldn't say I'm in a lot of pain, I have some cramps but feel fine in myself (if a little more tired)... but nothing major. I ate about 2/3 hours beforehand. Had a nap about an hour afterward and woke up like this. I've eaten some peanut butter and bread, had some water, and hoping it settles now. 5 hours in and I'm presuming/hoping this will be my only side effect. If it removes the infection, I'm 100% fine with a few side effects."

"After 5 days on azithromycin low dose, I have stomach cramps, a lot of gas, bloating, and upset stomach, a little diarrhea. But I think it's working."

Azithromycin "Wow, took this after a shot of antibiotics didn't work, and I've not stopped. Been sat on the toilet. It's just water coming out of my butt. God, I hope this works for the clap."
