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)

 3  C diff I first took the medicine for c diff and an entirely infected colon I had anxiety attacks severely, sure I was going to die headache, and yellow tongue for 6 months this was in 2013 but it did get rid of the c diff. I just recently was on an antibiotic a chest infection after off of the antibiotic I had symptoms of c diff again so they put me back on it. The anxiety was much worse , I was once again sure I was going to die my tongue is already yellow after 3 days so I was sure it was going to swell up. The c diff test was negative do I am not taking it as of now. I am glad to have found this site because I felt a little crazy and I see many others have similar problems F 55 10 days

 1  C diff Extreme nausea starting at 36hrs on med and continued from extreme to severe whole time on drug even though I was taking with a low dose of Zofran(anti nausea drug). Eating or not made no difference. Very weak and tired. Couldn't get out of bed for 6 days. On day 6 had shaking, dizzy. Dr has advised to take 2-3 day break and resume it along with a higher Zofran dose. Would rather die before I take this drug again. F 47

 1  Bacterial infection I have developed a painful neuropathy in my arms, legs, back, and numbness in my feet. It is expanding throughout my body and becoming more painful. I am unable to work, and my daily activities are becoming more and more reduced. I'm scared to death that this will become a permanent situation. If you're reading this, do not take Flagyl. It is a very dangerous drug. Ask your doc for another antibiotic. This should be a drug of last resort. M 64 10 days

 1   To the person who just wrote about Cipro...Flagyl causes a neurotoxicity that resembles fluoroquinolone neurotoxicity. But actually, Flagyl can cause lesions to form on the brain, specifically the cerebellum (and they can also appear on the basal ganglia, midbrain, and even the brain stem). Symptoms from this include everything from difficulty walking/slurred speech, to severe anxiety, depression, disorientation, brain fog, head pressure/neck pain, and mental confusion. These symptoms disappear quickly for some, and linger for others. I wanted to point this out because Flagyl is certainly capable of causing neurological and psychiatric effects all by itself (although I agree, Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox are HORRIBLE drugs as well).

 1  Diverticulitis Major brain fog, pain in my upper back and shoulders, severe neck pain, dizziness, unstable, feeling like I'm having an outer body experience, bad taste in my mouth, pounding head and headaches. I currently am scheduled for a colon resection surgery on December 13th but last week started having another flare up with my diverticulitis. My GI doctor called in Flagyl and Cipro, after me already telling them I HATED this medicine! But, being scared that my surgery could be postponed, I reluctantly began taking this dreadful excuse for an antibiotic once again. There ARE other alternatives to Flagyl and do not let doctors tell you differently. Until doctors are on this for a full course of treatment, they won't understand how horrible this drug truly is! It's demonic!!! Feel free to contact me at [email protected] F 51 10 days

 1  Bacterial infection Pain in arm & legs, nausea, headache, severe anxiety, itching, tinea versicolor due to overgrowth of candida, sore tongue/gums, fatigue, increased vaginal burning, sore throat, cough. This is second round of flagyl because infection didn't clear. These effects started happening toward the end of the second round. I finished it Tuesday and I still feel awful. I thought I was going crazy. Is this drug really this dangerous? Please tell me it gets better! When does this get better? Do I need an antihistamine? Is this an allergic reaction? I'm nervous.
