| 3 | BV (gardnerella) | very mild stomach discomfort, increased my prior anxiety disorder. some hot flashes but only the last 2 days of therapy | Was very afraid taking it. was already on 5mg of lexapro and was just starting to get better, suddenly on day 5 on flagella got a big anxiety attack that lasted like 10 hours. This is my last day and i hope my anxiety will go back to 0 level like before flagyl but when lexapro kicked in. Be well everybody and have in mind that flagyl does the job and everyone has a different tolerance level on side effects. so better consult with doctor instead of reading this :) | F | 41 | 6 days 500 2X day | 8/18/2015 | 1 | BV | Headaches and severe abdominal issues and lower back pain. | I had to take this drug twice within 2 months and it was sheer misery. After my first run with it for 5 days I had abdominal and lower back pains. I didn't start to feel normal for 3 weeks and then I was put on it again for a 7 day course. My main complaint and only symptom for the bv the second go around was burning which never fully went away. Have the stomach issues again which seem to be slowly getting better but I will never again take this drug. The first round took away the itch and discharge but the second round did nothing for the burning.. Medication usually doesn't have any side effects on me but I can say this stuff really screwed me up.. I would recommend if at all possible to stay away from the pills and go with the cream or gel.. I just hope my abdominal issues sort themselves out because it's been hell. | F | 47 | 7 days 400 | 8/18/2015 | 1 | Suspected diverticulitis | Debilitating fatigue, night sweats, dizziness, feeling of ingesting something that was poisoning me. | I felt bad taking flagyl and dreaded each tablet; I felt worse after I finished. It really messed up my digestive tract. It has been 6 weeks since I finished, and I am just getting back to eating raw vegetables. My strength has come back slowly. A good probiotic has been very helpful. I normally get a lot of exercise, so I feel that the negative side effects were due to the flagyl. I was thankful for this website b/c it was encouraging to find that my experience was not unique. | F | 60 | 7 days | 8/16/2015 | 1 | C. Difficile | Severe eye pain, bloodshot eyes, very blurry vision, extremely light sensitive. | Stopped the drug after 4 days because of side effects. Eye problems continued and after another 3 days, I went to the local emergency ward where I was diagnosed with a bad case of iritis. I have read that the eye problems I had are a side effect of this drug. I was put on Prednisone eye drops for one year to cure these eye problems I got from Flagyl. | F | 66 | 4 days 1X day | 8/16/2015 | 3 | BV | CHRONIC CONSTIPATION OMG!!!I CAN'T GO @ ALL AND IT'S BEEN 3DAYS.I'M DRINKING TEA & MAGNESIUM CITRATE.THE PAIN FROM THE INFECTION HAS GONE FROM A 8 TO A 2 BUT THE CONSTIPATION OMG!!! | F | 44 | 7 days 250mg | 8/15/2015 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | Light headed Nausea Slurred speaks Fuzzy vision Tingling hands and feet Headaches Migraines Mood swings Dark urine Stomach pains | I took this for 5 days, started feeling just not myself. Had a headache for a couple days, horrible taste in my mouth, stomach pains, I was sick to my stomach and my speak was slurred one day. I called my mom to ask her if that was normal she did some research and told me to go see another doctor and to get off this antibiotic. My other doctor said it was a good thing I came in when I did. We switched to a cream. I thought great ok this will be over, the next day was the beginning of hell. That's when the mirgraines started, my hands went numb, along with my feet. I thought it was because I had laid in bed all day, then my speak got slurred again. The next day felt a little better, then that's when the fever and cold sweats started, the moraine came back. My feet and legs became numb and real heavy and sore. The next day I found some relief for a couple hours then it was just a headache and my legs felt slightly better. No more slurred speak and my hands and arms felt better. Sometimes I would have a huge appetite and others nothing sounded good and I was so sick. The fever usually came at night or early in the morning. Then the next day the migraine came back along with the legs and feet pain only worse. This day 4 after I quit taking the flagyl, that should tell you how horrible this pill is! The doctor I saw who prescribed it did not go over any of the side effects or anything like that. I highly recommend never taking this pill ever!!!! I have had a breast augmentation, a | F | 20 | 5 days | 8/15/2015 | 4 | Infection | Dark urine, loss of appetite, feeling of thirst, minor headache. | I haven't had that bad of an experience with the drug. I recommend that you eat and drink a bottle of water before taking the drug. | F | 28 | 7 days 500 | 8/13/2015 | 3 | diverticulitis | I took this drug about 3 weeks ago for same condition. By day 4 or 5 I started seeing the small red dots on my skin i had read about so I stopped taking it, felt better without it and now I to start the 10-day treatment all over again. Apparently, I had a relapse??? I highly recommend that you take the drug with food or you'll be very sorry (nauseous). I started on taking it a 8am, 4pm and midnight. I've dropped midnight because I have no food in my stomach and don't feel like eating at that time so now i take it twice a day, 12 hours apart. | I noticed at the very beginning more frequent urination. | F | 63 | 4 days 500mg 3X day | 8/12/2015 | 1 | Crohns | Nausea, vomiting, light headed, headaches, no energy, depression, inability to eat leading to rapid weight loss, bad taste in mouth, everything smells bad, orange urine and orange vomit | Started taking flagyl because my doctor didnt precisely know what infection i had. Immediately after the first dose i started to feel symptoms. I cant take anything to ease the pain without vomiting, and my symptoms are worse than they were before i started taking anything, with no signs of improvement. I dread taking the pills because the longer i go without taking them, the better i feel! I would never recommend this drug to anyone unless they have some sort of death wish! I feel like im withering away and my body is taking a beating. | F | 18 | 6 days 500 MG 3X day | 8/12/2015 | 4 | H. Pylori infection | Weakness, exhaustion, insomnia, anxiety, bad taste, excessive thirst | Have taken this before for Lyme disease and it definitely does its job... but the experience is absolute misery. | M | 54 | 10 days 500 MG 3X day | 8/10/2015 | 5 | Parapharyngeal abscess | A little more tired than usual, but nothing a regular afernoon 30-min nap couldn't fix. Other than that: none | M | 22 | 1 months 500 mg 3X day | 8/7/2015 | 4 | Vaginal Bacteria Infection | None | I find it interesting that people are having such horrible reactions to this drug. I've not had ANY sort of side effects. I have 1 more day of taking it - but my symptoms are gone and I feel fine. It's too bad so many people have had bad experiences with this! | F | 51 | 5 days 250mg 2X day | 8/7/2015 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | Dark urine, headache, anxiety | Taking flagyl has not been too bad for me but I did notice my anxiety started up. I have a previous anxiety and panic disorder. I was doing better with it then I started this antibiotic and it brought it on again. Not too happy about that. | F | 36 | 10 days | 8/7/2015 | 3 | diverticulocisis | I feel like I am carrying a 100 pound weight on my shoulders. Nasty taste in my mouth. I feel shaky like I have low blood sugar.symptoms are bad and will not improve but told by the doctor that I can't get better without it. | If you can talk your dr. Into taking something else you need to. | F | 43 | 10 days 500 mg | 8/6/2015 | 3 | Diverticulosis | A nasty taste in my mouth and feeling nausea not myself. | F | 41 | 3 days 500mg | 8/6/2015 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | Night Sweats. Nausea, metallic taste in mouth, horrible odor in nose. Insomnia | I was given this in the hospital for an infection after surgery for 5 days IV. When I got home I was given another course for 7 days orally. I had my post op yesterday and had my list of complaints. Not once did the doctor say it could be the medicine. I am so grateful that I found this website. I thought I was dying. I can't eat, I am so nauseous. Tomorrow is a week since my last dose. I am not steady on my feet and felt like I was going to pass out in a store | F | 65 | 7 days 2X day | 8/6/2015 | 1 | Infection | The last time I took this antibiotics was a week ago and like most of you I had to stop. I was nauseous, weak falling down on myself couldn't do much on my own. Even after I have stopped the anti biotics I still feel horrible been back and forth to the hospital passed out in work I have been taking stuff to build me up and still to no avail. I am absolutely fed up of feeling this way I feel like I have lost myself in this process. | F | 30 | 8 days | 8/5/2015 | 3 | Diverticulitis | Inflamed infected sigmoid, diagnosed as diverticulitis in A&E. Also allergic to penicillin. Prescribed flagyl and ciprofloaxin together for 7 days. Felt awful, like vertigo, very tired, disoriented and confused. Day 7 came up in a few bumps thought were bites, by day 9, two days after end of course I have full blown gives, on steroids and antihistamine. But my bowel is better !! | Had taken previously and had been sensitive to it | F | 51 | 6 days 400 x2 | 8/3/2015 | 3 | CDiff | Side effects started right away but became awful on Day 7. They include light headedness (like being hung over), constant headache, general malaise, tiredness. | This drug is scary and with CDiff, I don't want to mess around and quit since the disease is scarier. Doctor is of little help. I'm eating tons of probiotics to try and get past this. I was a super healthy, athletic person before having a broad spectrum antibiotic for a marine bacteria which led to this. It sucks. | F | 54 | 10 days 500 3X day | 8/1/2015 | 1 | Acute Colitis | EXTREME fatigue and thirst. Sleeping 12-14 hours on the weekends and 10-12 during the week. Can't seem to drink enough water, about 125-150oz daily. Numbness/tingling in arms and legs, Easily agitated, headaches, eyes hurt. Went to family doctor, he contributed everything to Flagyl side effects. I finished my doses about 2 weeks ago,I asked him how long this might last and he did not have an answer. Really hope the effects wear off soon, I am not sure how much longer I can deal with this before confronting my doctor in a likely angrier mood. | My prescription was 500mg pills taken 3 times a day for 8 days. This was after I had spent 36 hours in the hospital receiving this and cipro by IV. Would be very interested in hearing from anyone on what the duration "might" be.
