Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline for Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I went through a Pylera treatment back in February, after 2 courses of antibiotics failing to eradicate the bacteria. Dosage was 3 tablets 4 times a day. Very harsh. Pretty much since the beginning the side effects were really bad. Extreme nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dark stools, dark urine, awful taste in my mouth, headaches, and extreme tiredness. I ended up taking 1 week off work. Treatment was for 10 days. After finishing it, nausea started to ease in a couple of days, as well as dark urine and stools. Unfortunately for me, the easiness didn't last long. A few weeks later, I started having these episodes with extreme fatigue, awful nausea, loss of appetite, body aches, especially lower back, weakness, weight loss, and symptoms still going on. I ended up with oral thrush as well. I have been on sick leave for 2 weeks and numerous sick days' notice in between. No matter the amount of GP and hospital appointments, exams, and tests, doctors cannot figure out what's wrong with me."

Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline for Helicobacter Pylori Infection "Today, I am starting my eighth day of treatment. I don’t know how I will get through this day and the next two. The treatment is extremely difficult; each day feels like a new challenge. On the third day, I developed severe chest pain, numbness in my hands, anxiety, insomnia, dry mouth with a metallic taste, headaches, fatigue, dark stool and urine, and overall poor well-being. I wanted to call an ambulance twice because my heart was worrying me. Now, I need to take my next morning dose of medication, but I keep postponing it. To everyone who has completed this treatment—my deepest respect. And to those going through it now, I wish you strength to endure this nightmare!"

For Helicobacter Pylori Infection "I'm on day 11 of 14, and damn, it's a disaster. Constant nausea, lightheadedness, fatigue, crushing headache. No appetite. Feels like I can't eat because I'm nauseous, and I'm nauseous because I can't eat. I've been self-force feeding myself crackers. Couldn't keep it in a few times after taking meds, but I've been better since. Hopefully it won't void the treatment. I've been missing work the past couple of days and will likely miss more. The first 6 days were fine, but it's just downhill. I'm also an emotional wreck. Huge ups and downs. Strangely, very heightened sense of smell and taste."
