| 4 | BV | Sour stomach after eating - better to eat less and not close to when you take the pill. Worst side effect for me is not being able to sleep. Also had really hot hands in the night, some limb numbness. Definitely do not drink at all. It took 3.5 days to work which seemed like forever. I am now symptom free and too tired from not sleeping so I am stopping it and not taking last 4 pills. FWIW, I also took probiotics specifically formulated for vaginal health and also used rePhresh, a Ph balancing gel suppository. If I get BV again I will probably try just those things first. | F | 7 days 1000 | 3/5/2012 | 4 | vagina bacteria | Well today is only my first day, taken 2 pills so far and not ONE side effect THANK GOD!!!!! noone please jinx me LOL but I feel great other than a little warm feel like im getting a cold maybe but none of those crazy side effects yayyy!!!!! | F | 1 days | 9/26/2009 | 4 | BV | Nausia, mettalic taste in mouth | I would recommend the ladies who are taking this for something vaginal to really consider the cream as opposed to the pills because I had no side effects with the cream and it cleared me right up. | F | 7 days | 10/6/2009 | 3 | BV | horrible taste, fever followed by fever, nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, rapid heart beat, shortness of breath feels like I was going to die!!!! headaches, dry mouth. Never had these side effects before when taking this medication. | F | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 11/1/2013 | 3 | BV | This medication has the most most horrible taste/ aftertaste I gag everytime I take this medication never fully gets rid of the bacteria I've been taking for 6 years on n off I always end up having to stop taking because as the days go by my body becomes more resistant of it and results in me vomiting and flu like symptoms well I've tried peanut butter w/ milk it takes away the awful taste but sometimes causes stomach pains as well even though I should be taking 2 a day the taste is so horrible I only took one today thats all my stomach could bare | F | 2 days 100mg×2 | 11/18/2013 | 3 | suspected PID | tiredness, bitter taste in mouth, joint pain, fever, perspiration | F | 14 days 400mg 2X day | 3/21/2014 | 3 | tooth infection | dizzyness sorethroat | F | 4 days 300 | 8/29/2014 | 3 | BV | This was my first time taking this medication. It caused me to have hot flashes, dizziness, balance issues, extreme weakness in arms/legs, sharp pain in my feet/hands. | Medication cleared the infection but I won't take it if I have this issue again. I have a neurological condition so maybe that's why my body reacted the way it did. I did not have these symptoms until I took the medication. When I stopped it, the symptoms stopped. | F | 7 days 500 MG | 2/22/2017 | 3 | | 2/27/2005 | 3 | to cure recurring stomach pain | nausea, tired eyes, sleepiness. | don't know if it's just my imagination but after taking this drug, i can smell some people's breath even if they are a meter away from me. funny thing is, i can't seem to smell my breath. :-) | M | 7 days | 5/11/2007 | 3 | stomach infection | dizziness,depression aching limbs overwhelming fear constantly waking at night | thankfully I only have one more day to go I will hopefully get back to normal again. | M | 7 days | 1/10/2008 | 2 | Abscess in lower jaw | Palm of hands burning so hot started going up arms | F | 2 days 30mg | 4/20/2017 | 1 | Bv | From the first day of taking 1000 MG I started getting mental issues by the second morning I woke up feeling nauseous and depressed with anxiety and panic. No way would I take this again! I took 8 of the 14 pills for BV and honestly, there has to be a better way of getting rid of a bacterial overgrowth. This not a good drug. | F | 3 days 500 | 3/10/2017 | 1 | SIBO | chest pains and pressure, lowered sensitivity to touch on whole body, insomnia, dizziness, falling sensation, worsening of my brain fog, loss of appetite | DONT EVER TAKE THIS POISON UNLESS THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE and you are dying or horribly sick. I cautiously took only 1 half a pill (seriously) to begin and already on that first day I experienced some weird tingling in back, I decided to not take any more, but despite that, I developed mentioned symptoms. It's been 5 days since I stopped but I am still experiencing symptoms. It could have helped my condition but I regret ever messing with this poison. Think thrice before taking this. Think if your condition is really worth of risking horrible side effects. In case you decide to try it, if you start to experience any weird symptoms, stop immediately and don't listen to ignorant doctors because if you develop some horrible side effects, there is no magical pill that will make them disappear. | 1 days 125 1X day | 6/7/2017 | 1 | Bv | Horrible dizziness nauseous feeling feel so sick can't function about to quit and I have 2 in a half days left :( almost made it but symptoms of bv gone pretty much | F | 7 days 500 | 2/1/2017 | 1 | BV | Fatigue, emotional, depression, dark thoughts, decreased sex drive, moody, dry mouth, dark brown urine, jitters, anxiety, lack of energy, bloated, loss of appetite. | This is my second round of Metronidazole for BV because it did not work the first time. Not sure why the doctor chose this antibiotic again. I'm not even sure if it is working this time. Horrible side effects. I mostly feel bad for my boyfriends as my mood changes have made me distant from him. I didn't realize my depression was from this medication until I googled it. Stay away from this! | F | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 12/21/2015 | 1 | BV | I was puking, felt out of it. I missed a day so I doubled up on the medication not knowing that wasn't good. I was home for a week puking and went to emergency room. I couldn't keep anything down. That was in the year of 2012 and I have had stomach and intestine problems ever since. I have a strict diet now and have been diagnosed with GERD. I can't eat acidic or fatty foods. Don't take it. | F | 14 days 2X day | 4/12/2014 | 1 | BV | anxiety, severe mood swings/depression, terrible taste in mouth, stomach cramps/diarrhea, feeling spaced out, sweaty, dizzy. | I am SO relieved that I found this site. I started taking metronidazole four days ago and was experiencing these side effects right away. I phoned the chemist and they said that these are not side effects of the medicine, which made me even more anxious! These side effects definitely need to be listed on the "possible side effects". I am over half way through so I am going to finish but would never take again. | F | 7 days 400mg 2X day | 10/16/2013 | 1 | vaginal bacterial infection | loose stools which kicked in three days into the treatment, feeling very low and moody and an odd furry tongue. | I finished the tablets 4 days ago and my stools are still loose, needing to go three times more than normal. I had a drink 48 hrs after finishing the course and this has made the runny stools much worse. I would never take it again and think people ahould be properly warned how long the symptoms go on after finishing the course. I have felt odd since starting them and wonder if I will ever feel OK agin. | F | 7 days | 4/12/2009 | 1 | BV | Horrible hives itching and tingling. Stopped taking it 3 days ago and I am still getting hives. My skin is so itchy and it looks horrible! I am also going crazy!! | Don't take this drug! The BV will grow back!! | F | 3 days | 11/12/2008 |
