I have been taking Antibiotics for about 5 days. The first few days I was in so much pain I could not stand to move, eat or sleep anyways. Just from the pain alone so not a problem. However my infection is almost gone and now the medication starting to make me very nauseated. I have not really finished eating anything for about a week now. Would it be a bad idea to stop the medication early?

    I'm pretty sure the container it comes in will specifically tell you not to do this.

    Sorry your belly is upset, take with food.

    Ugh, antibiotics can be awful. You really should finish them, though. If you're concerned about the nausea or you're not able to keep anything down, call your doctor.

    Keep taking it unless the doctor tells you to stop. You should probably give him a call if the medication bothers you that much.

    Take a probiotic two hours after the antibiotic. It works wonders. Just go down to the local drug store and get some acidophilus. It's cheap. Don't waste your money on culturelle.
