For Chlamydia Infection "I picked up the prescription, came home, and took it. I didn’t do research and regretted it! I hadn’t eaten during the day and took it about an hour before I ate dinner. I was super hungry, but when I sat down to eat, I couldn’t stomach my food. I started feeling really sick, going pale, had some hot flashes, and could not hold a conversation. Immediately ran to the bathroom and had really bad cramps and diarrhea. Luckily, I only had to make 3 trips to the bathroom and ended up laying in bed in a fetal position, hoping I would feel better. That's when I did some research and talked myself out of throwing up the pills so I wouldn’t have to take them again. I felt a lot better about 3 hours after taking the medication and ended up going to bed ASAP. I felt fine the next day and made a couple of trips to the bathroom resulting from the medication. Not the best experience, thought I was gonna pass out, but I’m glad I only had to take them once (2 pills 1000 mg dosage). Please be safe."

For Chlamydia Infection "I have a pretty tough stomach, but started to get this pain in my right side every time I breathe. Went to the doctor, and they tested for chlamydia, how exciting. 18 and already having to explain to my boyfriend that he needs to get tested. Currently laying in bed in the fetal position, sounding like I just ran a marathon by the way I'm breathing. Talk about cramps. I took the 4 pink pills maybe an hour to an hour and a half ago tops. Gets the job done fast, but pretty excruciating. Took a Zofran and some melatonin, so far so good. I guess this is just payback for my not so bright college ideas of 'it's okay he doesn't need a condom'... Use protection..."

For Chlamydia Infection "I had sex with a guy, and a few months later, I started having symptoms, and I asked him if he had an STI, and he said no. I went to get checked, and I came out positive for chlamydia. I ate 2 hours before taking two pink pills, and it's been 3 hours since I took the pills, and I'm starting to feel really nauseous, and I'm having really bad cramps, and I'm gassy."

For Chlamydia Infection "I took 2 pills of azithromycin 500 mg each (1000 mg total) for chlamydia. I was scared reading all the reviews, but don't listen to it, everyone's body is different. But believe me when I say I regretted having sex without condoms, this is a punishment, lmao. Never again. I recommend taking it maybe like 3 hours before going to bed. I think it's nicer this way, so then you can just lay down during all the pain. Laying down helps. All I got from this medication was nauseous for about 2 hours, and then I had horrible, unbearable cramps that made me poop for about an hour or so, but then I slept it off, and I'm good in the morning. So I think you have to put yourself through pain for one night, just a little, and you'll be good the next seven days."

For Chlamydia Infection "The diarrhea sucked, it was watery, and I had some nausea along with bad cramps. I have Crohn's disease, which has symptoms already, including cramps, nausea, and of course diarrhea. Lesson completely learned. Be safe and smart. Never ever again. Hopefully it is gone and over with soon, I took them earlier this morning in the pharmacy's parking lot with a bottle of water."

For Chlamydia Infection "2 hours after I took 4 of the pills, my tummy started to cramp really bad, and I had diarrhea! Sat on the toilet and cried for about 10 minutes, and it felt like I was about to puke."
