 1  BV Brain felt like it was hot, debilitating brain fog, felt disconnected from what was going on around me and from my body, anxiety, depression, nausea, upset (gurgling) stomach, burping, diarrhea, fatigue, brown urine I have taken this a number of times over the years and always had to deal with the bad nausea, flu like symptoms, and ridiculously awful taste. But this last time I took it was the first time I experienced the neurological side effects. Day 6 was the worst. My anxiety was through the roof. I had to travel that day and could barely function to get to my destination. I honestly wondered if I should go to the ER. I did not think to connect the neurological symptoms to Flagyl until the next day. I started googling and am so glad to realize it is not just me, although I’m upset because none of us should have to go through this and I cannot believe our doctors aren’t telling us about this. The only thing I have ever been warned about by a doctor was the nausea. F 37 7 days

 1  Bacterial Vaginosis Panic attacks that would last for hours and suicidal thought that sent me to the psych ward. Migraines with a feeling that my brain was hot and on fire. Intense pressure in skull and behind eyes. Neuropathy in my face, limbs, and genitals. Heart palpitations and high blood pressure. Nightmares and hallucinations. Jaundice, dizziness, intense brain fog, blurred vision. Feeling of not getting enough air aka air hunger. Weight loss, nausea, loose stools. Constant thirst and electrolyte deficiency. Kidney pain and swollen lymph nodes. Was healthy and “normal” before this. Only took for 3 days out of a 7 day course and had to discontinue use because of terrible side effects. Slow and long recovery from this toxic reaction. F 20 3 days

 4  Tooth Abscess From Cosmetic Dentist I have not had any major side effects from this antibiotic thus far ( Day 4) . I am not discounting other patients as everyone reacts differently to medication. I am also on Doxycycline 100 mg for 10 days. I have noticed a bit of nausea here and there and I always eat something around the time of consuming so not sure which antibiotic is really causing this. My breasts have been somewhat sore as well as cold chills occasionally but it's winter and definitely a bit tired. ( all antibiotic's make me tired though) I had cosmetic dentistry done 7 years ago on my two front teeth. I have had nothing but problems with the root ever since. I now wish I would have never let the dentist convince me to do it. My teeth were great before this. ( I just had a small space that I wanted to close) I have tried clindamycin and amoxicillin and neither worked for me so praying this helps so I don't need invasive treatment. I am terrified of letting dentists touch my mouth after the experience. I think from reviews a lot of people on here are extremely allergic to this medication. I would say if anyone experiences major side effects within day 2 I would stop it all together. F 46 7 days

 1  Gut Bacteria Infection Nausea, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, insomnia, blurriness. I have been battling depression since a young age and have gone through bouts of dealing with it, but as soon as I had to start this my brain went to dark mode immediately. I have never been so terrified in my life based on something that I am taking to not only help me eat again, but also that I don't spend days in the bathroom. The doctors were away that I take antidepressants and yet still gave me this. My anxiety is through the roof, I have not slept in days, and I have zero hunger. I've lost a lot of weight in such a small amount of time. F 29 10 days

 1  Diverticulitis flare up My blood pressure began spiking and I ended up in the ER twice. I've had dangerously high BP. My EKG was fine. They've ran other test and all of them are good. I've had Panic attacks. Severe back pain. Frequent urinating. Blurred vision while taking it. I've been off of it now for a week. I'm still having problems but slowly improving. Now I'm weak and shaky. I'm taking probiotics for digestive problems and I've been resting and drinking lots of water. This is a horrible medicine. Don't take it! Should be taken off the market.

 1  Amoebiasis Blurred vision, stress, depression, difficulty falling asleep, nausea, frequent urinating, pins and needles feeling, blushes. Overall feeling of malaise. I'm 10 times worse compared to how I was when I started taking it. It triggered me mental health issues. Be extremely careful. This drug is toxic and should be taken away from the market. I have never had any side effects from any drug and never considered writing anything in a forum, but this was so bad that I felt I had to. M 35 7 days

 1  BV I have never experienced something so ridiculous in my life. Before Flagyl I was completely fine now I have a sore throat brain fog my feet cramp up my hands hurt probably due to all the scrolling when I first started taking it I felt like I was getting aseptic meningitis. I do have an appetite but since I was on another anabiotic because I thought I had a UTI my gut health has been ruined . I am literally losing half a pound a day it's driving me crazy soon I will be going to the hospital to see if it's done any neurological damage.I have been off of it for two days And feel a little better but I'm definitely not even close to 60%.

 1  H. Pylori Anxiety, depression, antisocial, chills, cold sweats, joint pain, mood swings Horrible, horrible, horrible drug. I'm on day 6 of 14. I have a doc appointment tomorrow to hopefully discontinue using this drug. I've never felt so empty, low, and antisocial in my life. I usually go to the gym 4x a week, socialize 3-4x a week, etc. now, I lie in bed and have zero interest in anything. I'm so anxious and unpleasant to be around. The stomach aches, cold chills, joint pain, etc. makes it even worse. Avoid this drug at ALL costs. F 33 14 days
