I take SOMAC for treatement of ulcer .. how long before symptoms go?

Question

History started on a day I didn't eat well & kept smoking & ended up vomiting & the tragedy began as I was overseas on a business trip & worry added to the symptoms as well. anything I ate or drank gave me nausia.

Dr gave me H. Pylori test which was postive & gave me a 3 medications course for a week for get rid of the bacteria.

During the week of antibiotics, I felt great & as if nothing happened. 2 weeks after, I had a stressful event & it all came back to me again but without the diarihia this time a feel that I'm going to vomit during the night or early in the morning or whenever my stomach is empty.

Done XRAY & even that XRAY dr said there was nothing there, my Dr said that I have a duod. ulcer & gave me SOMAC 40mg 1 tablet for 6 months straight.

I've been on SOMAC for around 3 days.

My question is ....... is there light at the end of the tunnel? :) how long before I can expect symptoms to disappear?

cheer

I didn't mean I'm suffering from side effects of SOMAC. I'm currently suffering from the ulcer itself.

My question is how long before I feel better & not feeling like vomiting in the mornings & in middle of nights?

Answer 1

Sorry you feel so bad but its really hard to predict how long a person will experience side effects to a specific medication, Everyone responds differently. Some people expereice specific side effects others do not. I suggest even though its uncomfortable give it time for your body to adjust & the medication to get in your system to try to help you but after giving it a chance & your still bother by the sideeffects try talkin to your doctor to prescribe something else.
