For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "This drug worked miracles for my skin, but the side effects are overwhelming. I constantly have an upset stomach and am always tired. I have to take this medicine right before bed so I can function throughout my day. Usually, when I wake up, I still feel some of the side effects, like an upset stomach."

For Middle Ear Infections "I'm taking this due to ear and sinus infection and swollen lymph nodes. I'm allergic to penicillin, so the doctor gave me these. Seems to be working on the infection, but slowly. I have to take 500 mg 2x a day. It gives me terrible stomach cramps and pain, but after I eat, the pain goes away. I'm just very lazy, tired, and my brain is cloudy. Don't feel like myself. Not sure if it's due to my illness or the medicine. Drink a lot of water. Hope you feel better!"
