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)

 1  Bacterial Gingivitis According to a press release from the American Academy of Neurology: "Type 3 [delirium] was characterized by abnormal brain scans and impaired muscle coordination and other signs of brain dysfunction, and was only associated with the drug metronidazole. The beginning of noticeable symptoms took weeks instead of days. Symptoms also took longer to go away once the antibiotic was stopped". https://www.aan.com/PressRoom/Home/PressRelease/1433 If a major medical organization published this in February of 2016, clearly something is wrong with the drug. Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to continue this conversation and make sure what we have all experienced doesn't go unnoticed. M 31 7 days

 1  Bacterial Gingivitis Nausea, trembling hands and feet, extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression, feeling out of body. I had a relatively minor infection that wasn't causing me significant issues. Prescribed this medicine by a DENTIST. Started feeling fatigued and out of it at Days 1 or 2. I took off from work on Days 3 and 4 due to feelings of depression,fatigue, etc. Days 5 and 6 were the worst; I didn't want to talk to anyone or even play with my kids, I started having suicidal thoughts, I felt like I wasn't in my own body. I made it through 6.5 days but just couldn't take that last dose because depression was getting worse. I have been off it now for about 60 hours and am horrified by others' experiences with this medicine. It really is a poison that should only be prescribed for the most extreme cases. M 31 6.5 days

 4  Candida albicans Nausea, insomnia, anxiety, breathinh difficulties I was prescribed this med for candida albicans (bacterial infection). And here i am awake at 3.30 in the morning feeling nauseated, anxious and unable to breath well. This is day 1 on the pill. I took 400 mg in the morning and i was fine, and 400 mg at night. I fell asleep and suddenly i woke up feeling really weird. I used to suffer from an anxiety disorder and i thought maybe my anxiety is back after a whole year, but then i remembered the antibiotic!

 1  Yeast Infection On 3rd day had an allergic reaction, had a rash that covered my body, the itch was horrible, muscle and joint pains, after a month off of it I now have loose stool, now I have digestive issues. This drug is poison, I was on the generic brand of flagyl and let me tell you, these side effects are nothing to play with, when I went to the ER , the doctor could not be live I was given this for a yeast infection and when I saw the dermatologist, told me I didn't even have it, I have been to numerous doctors only for them to tell me nothing is wrong with me. My muscle pains are gone, but now have severe stomach issues, if u look at Bristol poop chart I range from 5 and 6. Please take precaution on this medication, it also causes anxiety and panic attacks, I have the worst nightmares on a daily basis. Have had 6 panic attacks and I have been off this medication since Aug 1st , I started July 28 and only took 6 pills and after that the rash from hell came. When it comes to antibiotics, do your home work, I have been to the Er 5 times for the month of August. What's worse I was given this poison for nothing, for something I never had. If anyone has any questions , please feel free to email me at valero0725@ gmail.com. I was helped they this nightmare by others on here who left their contact info and with their support got me thru a rough time. I am still having side effects because of this and I know it can be nereve racking. M 36 3 days

 3  Suspected infection parasites Initially I felt better for the first time in months (3.5 days) and I had minimal side effects however this morning 5th day woke up sweating and in discomfort I will give this drug 3 initially and re rate it when I know if it cures me. I had side effects three months ago when I took it for 5 days for suspected Trichomonas the drug is harsh hopefully this will all be worth it. There don't seem to be many posts that give updates in the following weeks, I will follow this up. This drug seems to work and if it cures me I will consider it a brilliant thing. I will post an update next week. M 55 4.5 days

 1  Oral surgery Horrible nausea and awful taste in my mouth. Ripped up my stomach with bloody,pus filled loose stool .... if any at all. Feel outside of my body. Exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep. Feelings that I would rather be dead then feel so bad. Enough gas and belching to last a lifetime. thinking and feeling like I was going to die. Very weak and shaky. Severe dizziness at times. How can this drug be allowed on the market. I am really upset. I've had to go to work like this. After going to Urgent Care $75.00, being sent to the ER (Only God knows), I got to the ER and it was so busy, I just knew I would be there ALL NIGHT yet I could not imagine having to ever sit there to wait as I needed to lay down. I had to sign Against Medical Advice papers. Was never seen by a Doctor or evaluated but can only imagine what they will charge me for the Triage. Ever I could take your vitals!!!!! After leaving the ER , I decided I don't care if I'm supposed to take this another 7 days..... I will NEVER take another poison pill again. It's 48 hours later and I started feeling better yesterday but about 4 hours ago, a wave of this same sickness came back and I'm feeling just like before....really bad again. Don't trust the doctor anymore. Any advice???? PLEASE HELP??? F 57 8 days

 1  H- Pylori Nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, anxiety, fast heart rate. Insomnia, depression, paranoia, night sweats, dizzyness, hallucinations Had to take Flagyl 500mg every 8hrs, with another antibiotic Amox/Clav. 2nd day didn't feel right then by the 6th day I crashed. Went to ER, had a manic depression episode and anxiety. I knew something wasn't right as I'm a happy person, loved working out, loved eating, then a switch went off after this drug. It's been a month and I'm dealing with extreme anxiety, heart racing, and night sweats. I'll never take this drug again. Been trying to eat healthy foods and detox hoping I can get it out of my system. I've lost 12lbs in a month. Has anyone gotten over this I've heard it takes a while to get out of your sysyem.
