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  Entertits Stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, burning stomach sensation I was prescribed a 10 day prescription of flagyl for a bacterial infection in my small intestine along with augmentin. While taking flagyl I had no side effects the first 5 days. Then severe stomach issues ensued and I have now developed a severe intolerance for dairy. (Which has never been an issue) I have been off flagyl for a month and have daily bouts of nausea, burning sensation in stomach and diarrhea. F 42 10 days

I started getting foggy head, pains in my head pounding heart, forgetful, feeling like crying and high blood sugar, chest pain and took glipizide to lower my blood sugar levels.

 1  Gum infection Nausea, confusion, spaced out, constipation, emotional, paranoid, dizzy. This antibiotic is extremely strong. I have never had side effects when taking a medicine before and this totally knocked me out, to the point where I couldn't finish the course. I thought I was going mad. I had a weird buzzy feeling in my head, couldn't concentrate and felt weak. Cried a lot and decided to stop. It's not worth taking it unless you really need to! F 23 4 days
3X day

 1  Gallbladder attack Was given this antibiotic in the ER when I went in for a severe gallbladder attack. The next day I felt like I was jumping out of my skin, became depressed and highly panicked. High anxiety. I felt horrible. I had no idea it was the antibiotic doing it to me. I thought it was due to my upcoming surgery for gallbladder removal. But this feeling was off the charts. I felt depressed and weepy and could not understand why, or explain it. Few days later, and I'm feeling fine now. I will never take this junk again. Horrible antibiotic F 54 1 days

 3  BV I took the gel version of this and it didn't work. So I took the pill version, twice a day. It wasn't so bad the first time. Well, I felt like I had a fever and the worst cramps ever, and I was exhausted, but it was bearable and fine. A month or so later I got a yeast infection and found out I still have BV. Yeast infection medicine is a breeze. This time with the pill, I had really bad heart palpitations and a headache. One day, a weird paid in my arm. I felt like I couldn't eat anything. Everything has propolyen glycol in it and your supposed to avoid that along with alcohol. This time taking the pill was scary and I'm not sure I will do that again. I also still think I have BV. Can it just go away already? It worked better than the gel, but the side effects are extreme. The most extreme I've ever felt. F 39 7 days

 1  Tooth abscess Extreme anxiety, depression, panic, migraine, painful eyes, blurred vision, tiredness, dizzy spells. Prescribed by my dentist for an infection. Within 24 hours felt increased anxiety - by day 5 I was suicidal. Totally panicked and difficulty breathing or thinking straight. Dizziness walking, extreme headache that never goes away and blurred vision. Stopped taking the drug. Both the dentist and my doctor say they have never seen these side effects...? I'm certain it's as a result of this. I also take sertraline and there is some discussion as to whether this may be an interaction between the two drugs. F 48 6 days

 3  Bacterial Vaginosis Had diarrhea for the entire week but what was worrisome was on day 7. I've had palpitations before, like a thud in my chest, but I experienced a total irregular heartbeat that caused me to freak out and have a panic attack. Only lasted a few seconds but thought I was having a heart attack. Insomnia the entire time as well. As I had no symptoms of BV, I can only assume it worked. I have a follow up next week. F 37 7 days

 3  BV I've experienced excessive tiredness, I feel out of it majority of the time, can't concentrate, light nausea, bad panic/anxiety attacks, headaches, dark urine, loss of appetite, soft stools, gas, and sadness. I have to take this medicine 2X a day for 7 days. I'm on my 3rd day of taking it, so far the bv feels all cleared up. Only thing is, are the side effects. I don't feel as active anymore I feel weighed down. I also work so I don't know if it's a good idea to be working while on this medicine. Although If you have a sensitive stomach, eating a full meal and drinking lots of water before each pill Lessens the nausea feeling! I wish my doctor would have told me about the side effects. No medicine should make a person feel like this. F 18 7 days

 1  Sibo I was taking 500 mg along with ciprofloxacin. Total was 2500mg a day. I had nausea, insomnia, metallic taste, nausea, brain fog, I had a rash on my face that now has lasted 7 months, I get flare ups, the rash will not go away. I have been to my primary doctor and dermatologist four times each. Topical creams of different kinds has not help, blister like rash and it's bad. When I get flare ups I get a grapefruit metallic taste in mouth. Worse drug ever have taken. Felt like I was dying. Only took for 4 to 5 days.Metrodiaznol and a drug called Ciprofloxacin should be taken off the market. Lost 6lbs. The rash will not go away. Metrodiazenole is a horrible drug and I still have side affects after 7 months and only taking for 4 days. It was like I was dying. F 67 4 days

 4  Bacterial infection Nausea, EXTREME HEARTBURN, shakes, feeling out of it , loss of appetite, sweating, crying spells, nervousness, headaches, chills , twitching, racing heartbeat at times, ringing ears, irritability, constantly biting down or grinding teeth. I was treated for a bacterial infection that I believe was caused by me eating raw cookie dough, which in return made me sick with what felt like the stomach flu, while on this medication, my heartburn was so bad I contemplated on going to the emergency room, it got the point to where the stomach acid felt like it was coming up in my ears. I had crying spells from feeling out of it , shakes, so with all of the symptoms that I had I knew if I didn't finish out the medication the bacteria would come right back. The last week of March is when I was sick with the stomach flu for 3-5 days the symptoms subsided and came right back within the second week. That's why I knew I had to tough it out. Today makes Day 1 after completing the Flagyl , lets see how this goes. F 24 7 days

 3  Dental abscess Heavy chest together with acute dyspnea. Nausea to a lesser extent. Developed an aversion to smell and taste of sugar. Altered sense of taste. I've used Flagyl before, but this is the first time Ive experienced these side effects. The fact this drug comes with an FDA black box warning is also of concern. F 38 7 days

 4  SIBO/SIFO First dose caused extreme nausea, mild headache, feeling of wanting to pass gas, and itchy skin on my stomach and abdomen. Thankfully, side effects improved - some nausea, mild headaches and metallic taste. Additional instructions by my doctor: Drink lots of water and take it with meals; no sugar, no alcohol, and restricted carbs (just white Jasmine rice). If you eat these foods, you will feel much worse. F 63 14 days
