| 1 | Infection | F | 53 | 500 1X day | 3/12/2024 Patient History | 1 | Diverticulitis | Uncoated pill that leaves a bitter taste you can't avoid. After swallowing hours of nausea. | Does help rid infection but so intolerable. | 54 | 10 days 500 3X day | 8/24/2023 | 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 2X day | 8/20/2023 | 1 | Misdiagnosed Prostatitis | Everything under the sun. GI Neurotoxicity Peripheral Neuropathy Optic Neuritis Psychopathic | Drug is poison. Do NOT take this, search for a naturopathic solution. | M | 12 days 8.5g 2X day | 6/11/2023 | 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 500 MG 2X day | 3/13/2023 | 1 | Bacterial | Awful experience. Palpitation, lightheaded, feeling sad. Mood down. | This crap should be off market | M | 58 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 2/23/2023 | 1 | BV | Dizziness, lightheadedness, joint pain, back pain, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, tired, eye pain, headaches | I thought I was seriously losing my mind. | F | 36 | 7 days 2X day | 1/30/2023 | 1 | H.pylori | Onset of severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Burning mouth excessive thirst. Burning eyes. Dizzy. Extreme tiredness | Never again. I can't wait for this drug to be out of my system. It's a horrible horrible antibiotic. I have never had a reaction to drugs before. | F | 49 | 2 days 50 2X day | 1/14/2023 | 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 400mg 3X day | 1/8/2023 | 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. | F | 55 | 5 days 1X day | 1/3/2023 | 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 3X day | 12/26/2022 | 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%. | F | 33 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 11/23/2022 | 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 250 4X day | 10/30/2022 | 1 | Suspected intestinal infection | Anxiety to the moon. Crying spells. And a strange odor that seemed to permiate through my skin and then n my sweat. Been off 3 days and smell is fading. Nasty smell. Was supposed to do 10 days but bailed on advice from doc at 6 days. Whats up with odor? Glad I stopped when I did. This shouldn't be prescribed to anyone. Poison!! | M | 65 | 6 days 500 3X day | 8/19/2022 | 1 | Hysterectomy | Absolutely horrible drug. Didn't have infection but was given drug after surgery as preventative. Severe nausea, extreme anxiety, heart palpitations, blurred vision, dizziness. Doctor refused to change Rx to another one. Finally, I was told I should just stop taking it because it was 4 days after surgery and he said if it were going to get an infection, I already would have. I'm 2 days off the drug and still feel absolutely horrible. Even Zofran didn't help with nausea. Still have severe anxiety. Worst drug ever. I've had antibiotics before and never had bad reactions. Will never take Flagyl again! There was no way I could have taken this drug for the entire 7 days! | Drug should be taken off the market. Too many adverse reactions from too many people. | F | 69 | 2 days 500mg 3X day | 8/2/2022 | 1 | BV | I slowly started noticing this feeling in my chest which of course started the anxiety attacks & the scared thoughts. 0/10 | F | 21 | 2 days 500 2X day | 7/25/2022 | 1 | tooth infection | This drug has caused me brain and nerve damage. Ut nearly killed me. I had a tooth infection was perscribed this, im now paralysed in bed with minimal movement ability. I was healthy in work, young. I advise all who read this to step back and bin this medication go back and ask for an alternative. This information I have giving you could safe your life. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. | M | 28 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 7/24/2022 | 1 | BV | Terrible gas, blood shot eye, felt like I the flu. Afraid as I am over 65 | F | 65 | 0 days 500mg | 7/1/2022 | 1 | H Pylori | Tiredness, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, bad taste, worst of all is the anxiety, palpitations and chest tightness / pain. | I completed the full 7 day course and have been off it for nearly 2 weeks yet still feel these side effects. The anxiety over when I'll feel normal again is horrible. This medication has without a doubt done more harm than good. | F | 34 | 7 days 2X day | 6/6/2022 | 1 | Supposed gut parasite | Numb foot, tingly, numbish all over, nausea, no appetite, headache mild, constant peeing, constant diahrrea SEVERE ANXIETY, inability to sleep, couldn't relax, foul taste in mouth | GET OFF THIS take magnesium and probiotic and multivitamin This destroys your nervous system, brain, gut everything Start healing You need vitamins and brewers yeast for more vit Bs I got everything and I'm still traumatised Please seek vitamins and nutrients | F | 34 | 5 days 400mg 3X day | 5/11/2022 |
FLAGYL (METRONIDAZOLE): Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of infections. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria and parasites. This antibiotic treats only certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Metronidazole may also be used with other medications to treat certain stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by a bacteria (H. pylori). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
