| 3 | Bv | Extreme anxiety, backache, feel like crap, blurry vision, extreme thirst no matter how much I drink, feeling disconnected, pelvic pain, urinating A LOT! Dark urine, feel like I am crazy. Muscle aches, confusion. Tired beyond belief. Burning sensation from my waist down. Soooo tired! | I dread every dose. I am on day 3 of 7. I am gonna finish the course, because my infection was so severe it lead to cervicitis. I can't tell right now which is worse, the infection or the med. I am training for a triathlon and am having to take some days off from workmg out due to the incredible side effects. My doctor only said don't drink alcohol with this med due to the fact it would make me very sick. He didn't say anything about feeling so sick otherwise. This medication is important to take because it kills anaerobic bacteria versus aerobic bacteria. Other meds like Cipro, amoxicillin and clindamycin do not kill anaerobic bacteria. My advice is to try to finish the course unless you have rash or other signs of anaphylaxis. Luckily I am a nurse so I know what to look for regarding side effects. But, for others, it is not so easy. Funny thing is, I give this drug to patients all the time. I never knew the side effects could be so bad... | F | 44 | 3 days 500 mgTID | 6/26/2015 | 3 | abdominal pain sort of infection | Feel like want to vomit | Feeling dizy.but after that i felt pregnent because my husband drinks it yoo two years back.But why we nerd yo drink flagile in order for us to have a baby why? | F | 33 | 1 times 500 | 6/25/2015 | 5 | bv | nauseated,dark urine | it really works,but please be careful with alcohol. not just drinking it but using it also can make you sick. Be aware of your soap,lotion, mouthwash things like that. once I payed attention to that I was ok. | F | 35 | 7 days 500 | 6/19/2015 | 1 | Suspected Giardia | Severe headache, severe nausea, high blood glucose, constipation, diarrhea, stomach cramps, muscle pain, tingling, dizzy, palpitations, fast heart rate, weakness, fatigue. | DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG. Ask for another drug. I felt like I was poisoned. I did have bad cramping and constipation before taking it and it seemed to help after the first pill but then all the other symptoms started. This stuff tastes like poison and I'm sure it is. I hope I don't get cancer from this. It's 18 hours since my last dose and I still feel awful. I called the dr. who rx and she said to stop taking it and like an idiot I forced myself to swallow this poison for another day but today when it came time for the next dose I just kept saying I'll take it later and then I never did, lol. The clinic said to eat yogurt etc. and take it after a meal but since it's poison that will make NO difference. | F | 40 | 2.5 days 500 3X day | 6/15/2015 | 1 | BV | By day 2 total lethargy, super bloated, nauseous, severe lower intestinal pain, really bad taste in mouth, tingling tongue. I feel like I'm poisoning myself. | After 6 doses I'm done with this poison. I feel like total crap. Tonight my husband had to take the kids to the pool because I was drop dead tired, mentally foggy, and laid on the couch for 1.5 hrs to get up strength to make dinner. I'm an athletic person-runner, yoga, boot camp and never sit still. This drug has completely wiped me out with all these horrible side effects. | F | 42 | 7 days 500 2X day | 6/13/2015 | 5 | bacteria vaginitis | A bad taste was left in my mouth for about two or three days, and dark urine. | I took this medication in a four pills, and one dosage. I was given it for the bacteria vaginitis', which the side effects where a loud horrible smell,gross and smelly discharge, itching with irritation and painful sex. That alone was way worst that the side effects of metallic taste, dark urine or the other things that i read may happen. It work and the risk out weighted the complaints. The pharmacist suggested to take with a meal before bedtime with lots of water to help flush my system.It helped me. | F | 40 | 1 days | 6/12/2015 | 3 | C diff | Nausea, diarrhea, extreme lethargy, loss of appetite, dark colored urine | I have zero energy on this antibiotic. I have never felt so tired in my life. Not having any energy to do anything is also making me feel depressed. On top of that, I constantly feel slightly nauseous and believe I almost vomited a few nights ago (I managed to keep it down). This medicine makes me feel very gross. | F | 25 | 10 days 500 mg | 6/11/2015 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | This was absolutely the worse drug ever. Side effects got progressively worse as the days went on. Headache, muscle weakness, gagging/dry heaving, night sweats, slurred speech. I ended up going to urgent care and er but blood work came back normal. After 5th day I stopped using it because things were so bad. It's been a day and I still feel terrible. | 25 | 7 days | 6/10/2015 | 2 | Bacterial vaginosis | Nausea on and off, very tired , and urinating a lot | F | 51 | 7 days 500mg | 6/9/2015 | 1 | colon infection | Confusion, severe headaches, anxiety, mood changes from anger to depression, thoughts bounce around and cannot focus, feel like I'm walking in mud, cannot move easily, food tastes terrible as if it is over spiced or heavily salted. | If I had not found this site, I would be going to the ER as I would not know what is wrong with me. Before taking this drug, read up on it. I suffer from PTSD and this just made everything worse. Thank goodness I stopped taking this drug before the side effects kicked in full force. Now after 2 days I still feel totally awful. If you don't have someone to watch over you, do no not take this drug. Actions are unpredictable. | M | 66 | 10 days 500 mg 4X day | 6/6/2015 | 1 | back pain | On the third day of taking this, I woke up with horrible upper back pain. Later in the day, my neck became very sore and stiff. I discontinued the drug immediately; the neck pain went away but the back pain remains one month later (although it has subsided somewhat). It is still pretty uncomfortable. | M | 37 | 14 days 500mg 3X day | 6/2/2015 | 1 | diviticulitis | I felt like I was poisoning myself by the 4th day! Taking 3 times a day along with 500mg of Cipro twice a day. Could not function at all. Developed cough, burning in eyes, diarrhea, back pain, extreme lethargy, headache, it was horrible!!!!!!! Oh, and abdominal pain and cramping. | This drug may work but the side effects make you feel like your dying | F | 62 | 7 days 500 | 6/1/2015 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginitis | Bad taste in mouth, diarrhea | I had no side effects except for the nasty taste in my mouth for about 6 days. On the second to last day, I developed diarrhea. It is now one week since I've been off the medicine and I still have diarrhea. Saw a doctor and he said this medicine is nasty stuff and wipes out all the bacteria in your stomach. He suggested eating yogurt to get some probiotics in my stomach. Hope this works. It did get rid of the bv, but honestly would rather have that than the constant diarrhea. | F | 28 | 7 days 500 MG | 5/27/2015 | 1 | h palori bacteria | Increased anxiety, light headed, pains in stomach,nauseous, headachesand more. | I started taking this medicine for the bacteria found in or that causes an ulcer. I took 2 doses and the side effects hit as soon as the meds kicked in. My anxiety was way worse after taking it. I got foggy headed, couldn't sleep more than. A few hours with out waking up with anxiety. My headaches didn't start till I quit taking it. The worst part was I couldn't take anything for my anxiety because of the other antibiotic I was on. The first day with out the meds like I said the headaches kicked in then the foggyness like just an all over yuck feeling. Day 2 with out it I woke up with neck pains right at the base of my head.(where your head and spine meet) no matter how I laid my head or held my head up it hurt and was really uncomfortable. I have little tiny pains through out my head.feels like between my skull and the skin. And my scalp feels really weird when I try to rub it. I don't know how else to describe it. All these things started happening after I took this medication. I quit taking it after two doses on day one. And this is awful. I have an apt. With my doc in the morning hoping to find some answers because this is really starting to bother me a great deal. | F | 26 | 2 days 500mg | 5/26/2015 | 1 | Colitis | Nausea, dizziness, weakness, ZERO ENERGY, racing heart, horrible anxiety (the list goes on).. | This drug is awful. I will never ever ever take it again. I was diagnosed with colitis and was admitted to the hospital and was administered flagyl/levaquin via IV for nearly 3 days, then was sent home with an oral prescription for 3 pills a day for 6 days. While I was in the hospital I was and to handle due to the constant IV fluids, dilaudid and Ativan. when I got home I felt slam awful (worse than the colitis made me feel), and decided to discontinue the flagyl. I'm still continuing the levaquin, and it's only been a day since I had the flagyl but I'm still feeling awful. I'm starting to wonder if something else is going on, but from these comments I'm thinking it's the medicine that's making me feel so awful. | F | 25 | 10 days IV, oral | 5/24/2015 | 1 | Thought I had diverticulitis | I have been off its of 26 hours and I am very bloated and I have alot of Gas. I also took this with cipro 500 mg twice a day.I had a cat scan with contrast and it showed that I didn't have an infection..I went to the ER because my stomach pain was getting worse and I didn't know if it was my diverticulitis or the medicine.
