I had a strep culture go out on Wednesday or Thursday of last week and my doc prescribed an antibiotic...culture came back negative yesterday and the voicemail they left advised me to stop taking them. Seems like I'm supposed to finish the course so I don't help create drug resistant bacteria, right?

Since you don't have Strep, all you're doing by continuing to take the pills is harming the good bacteria inside of you.

Do people take pro-biotics with antibiotics? My stomach is still messed-up from antibiotics that I took several weeks ago (and i had a very good reason to take the antibiotics).

^^^my stomach was definitely messed up from a round of antibiotics that I took around the first of the month. It's still not quite back to normal.

^^I've been told probiotics, or yogurt will help that, but I'm a little skeptical...

Stop taking them whenever you want and drink lots of alcohol with them- it fucks you up!

I usually drop it before the drop/add deadline.

hell no.

I take them for like 2 days, then the bottle just sits in my cabinet until I move out (sometimes for years).

Minus the trolls, make sure the women use a backup form of birth control when taking antibiotics. Some will reduce the effectiveness of the different hormonal methods.
