Tried Praziquantel for first time just a few hours ago and felt hungry at first, then very uncomfortable abdominal pain as if heading towards another panic attack (had those a few years ago whenever I drank cold water since I had very sensitive stomach!), also felt like vomiting.
What does this mean? Lots of parasites? Where are they located? It is so bad right now .... can't really do anything to distract myself from the discomfort :-(-

This is a reply to # 2,112,948The pain/discomfort ended up travelling to my chest area, and shortly afterwards I vomited and here is the pic :
Not sure how to post pics. The large green thing has orange guts inside. Gross. Anyone know what it is? I certainly didn't eat anything like that ever (I always chew my food).
Immediately afterwards I felt better, passage in lungs more clear and my sore throat improved. Still feeling like crap and wanting to throw up.

This is a reply to # 2,112,966Sending you lots of support. I've not taken praziquantel before, but I talked to someone on here a few days ago, he/she took a horse drench containing prazi and ivermectin, several nights in a row. He felt like crap, too. REally unwell for about a week. He took a strong laxative (NuLax fig/date/senna) each night before bedtime, to clear out the crap first thing next morning.
He took lemon, also, lots of lemon, to help the liver. The liver apparently gets overloaded, trying to clear the parasites.
But - I don't know if it's acceptable to vomit after taking prazquantel. It might be an adverse reaction. Do not take any more of it at this stage. Let this dose clear out of your body for a few days.
How much did you take? In what form? What do you weigh?
I don't know what those things are, in your photos, but if you feel better after getting rid of them, then that is great.

Hang in there. You will get better :)

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,112,972Thanks for your reply. Right now it seems to have settled a bit so I can at least get some sleep.
I took 2 x praziquantel 600mg with food. And I am a 36 yr old female, only 90lb, 5'1".
Yeah, I definitely feel my airways are a bit more clear. As if the passage was blocked before and I didn't even notice since it's been like that for so long!

This is a reply to # 2,112,966Should I take a Mebendazole before my next Prazi dose to minimize the abdominal symptoms? I do not get side effects with Mebendazole.

This is a reply to # 2,113,001Hi again taroki, I have no medical training, unfortunately, but IMHO you should not take any more meds right now. If I were in your situation, I would boil some water, and let it cool a bit, and sip warm, boiled water ... to flush the system a little, and to calm the stomach.
I don't know the correct dose for prazi. I don't know if you took too much. I really don't know. Sometimes if we take too high a dose of anything, it cause us to vomit. Vomiting is not a good sign. IMHO do not take any other meds at all, at this stage. Give yourself time to work out why you vomited. Hit the reset button on this treatment. You need to evaluate what has happened. Vomiting is not good. No need to panic, just take things slowly, for now.
It would seem reasonable to expect to feel nauseous, but not to vomit.
If I were you I would not take any more meds at all until you can get more information and do more research. And maybe get some advice from the more experienced people on this forum. (mor experienced than me, that is :) )

This is a reply to # 2,113,019Also, ring around some pharmacies. I often ring pharmacies for any type of drug information. I sometimes have to ring 3 or 4 places before I get a pharmacist who will come to the phone and give lots of information.
Say: "My doctor prescribed 600 mg of Praziq. but it made me vomit XX minutes/hours later. My doctor is not available at the moment and I need advice from a pharmacist who knows about medications. I weigh XX lbs. Did I take to much in one dose?"
Try to get some information about what happened, beofre taking any other meds.
Good luck. Sending you good vibes :)

This is a reply to # 2,113,022Thanks for the recommendation. Dr Chieu said to lower dosage to 1 tablet each meal. He also said it was food that came out! Wow .. this food must have been there for decades since my throat airways feel partially unblocked now!

This is a reply to # 2,113,860I have read to take ivermectin first and then take praziquantel second. I have not found out how long to take Iver...and how long to wait to take Praz...what I have read is Ivermectin is supposed to be a wonder drug. I am on pyrantel pamoate right now and like the results very much. I am on the second day, going to try and take it for 7 days straight. I also took magnesium citrate yesterday, lots of dark stool coming out today, yesterday, liquid. Will take that again. Will research that in regards to how often, bottle says 1 x 24 hours....great stuff! Not read about this on CZ before but thinking logically about this.

This is a reply to # 2,112,948Praziquantel will make you vomit based on the bitter taste alone. Put the pills in gelatin capsules to mask the taste and after taking consume plenty of water and food to wash it down.
The drug alone also has a horrible side effect where you will feel spaced out or dizzy/drowsy after an hour or two.
