The 1st time I was diagnosised I was given the Prevpac. After 3 days I called my doctor because I thought I was dying. I had never felt so bad in my life but I finished it. I tested positive again last month and after speaking with my PCP and telling her there was no way I could do that again she gave me 40mg Prilosec,2000mg Amoxicillan, and 1000mg Biaxin a day for 14 days. I was able to tolerate this much better and it didn't start making me nauseated until the 10th day.
