| 3 | Intestinal inflammation | I've been a nurse for 13 years so let me start by saying IT IS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT TO START AND FINISH YOUR ENTIRE COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS, but if you feel the side effects are too much for you, please talk to your physician ASAP! That being said, this past week I became I'll & doctor put me on Flagyl 500 mg 3 times a day for 7 days in conjunction with Cipro 2 times a day for 7 days. I've read that the cipro intensifies the effects of Flagyl, which I believe because this is the 2nd time I've taken Flagyl but first time taking it in conjunction with the Cipro. My side effects are pretty bad & makes it very hard for me to function. They are: headache, dizziness, tearfulness (omg!), foul taste in mouth, loss of appetite, tiredness, nausea, skin tingling, generally feeling out of it, feel unable to function normally, painful urination, dark urine, very intensified sense of smell - even feel like I can smell it coming from my pores, indigestion, and night "drenches" - way to bad to call them night sweats! Lets just say my family can't stand me.... With all that I'm going to doctor in morning to see if we can change it!!! | F | 34 | 7 days 500 mg | 5/19/2013 | 1 | infection | I was okay the first day. On the second day I woke up with extreme pain in the back of my head/neck. Neck felt very stiff/sore. Started vomiting on and off for a few hours. Felt spacey and sick to my stomach for the rest of the day. Took Ondansetron (medication for vomiting) and even that didn't help with the nausea/vomiting. Had a hard time even drinking water. | Horrible side effects. Stay away unless you want to risk throwing up! | F | 25 | 2 days 500 2X D | 5/17/2013 | 1 | BV | All over body rash, dry mouth, general lethargy, neck ache, night sweats, bad sleeping at night, waking up tired, feel like I'm spaced out. | I had a course of these but had to stop on day 3, wish I'd have never bothered. Ended up sitting in the out of hours service because i thought there was something seriously wrong with me. the side effects need to be discussed in detail as they seem to be very common. | F | 30 | 3 days 1X D | 5/14/2013 | 4 | BV | Listlessness, anxiety, depression, mood swings | Within an hour of taking the first pill came the mood swings. I was suddenly very angry. Cycled between anger, anxiety, paranoia, depression for the first 2-3 days on this. I've never had issues with side effects from any medication so I certainly wasn't expecting it. Glad to read that others have had similar experiences and I wasn't going crazy. Now I'm on day 5 and feel just fine other than still lacking a little energy, though not nearly as bad as the first couple of days. It seems to have cleared up my infection which is good (hence the good rating), however I'm not sure I'd take it again. | F | 27 | 7 days 500mg 2X D | 5/13/2013 | 5 | Infection after wisdom tooth extrac | Slight headache and heartburn | After reading everyone's comments, I really didn't want to take these, but the intense pain I had from the wisdom tooth extraction infection got me to take it. I didn't experience anything except for a slight headache and heartburn, which didn't really bother me. Take these tablets they really work and are not as bad as everyone says, everyone is different so experience different things, but these really work and the pain went after 3 days | F | 32 | 5 days 200 3X D | 5/12/2013 | 3 | Partial bowel obstruction | Tiredness, Depression, thirsty, neck pain, mood swings, headache, Thank you, I thought I was going mad! It's been a holiday weekend and most miserable I can remember. It has helped the pain, but I am so listless it's ridiculous. Am normally a very stable person but currently emotionally all over the place. Have just started day 4 of 7 on 400mg 3 x a day and other users feedback has made me realise I am not losing the plot. I will finish the course as its preferential to ending up in hospital. I can't say I have had stomach cramps because that's what I had before I started the tablets, however I do have the gurgling gut and passing wind. Oops, there it goes again :-)) I wish I had been better informed of the possible side affects beforehand, rather than having to search the web to ease current fragile state of mind. I wish you good luck with your course of tablets | M | 48 | 7 days 400mg x 3 | 5/6/2013 | 5 | Bv | These tablets give you a horrific feeling but when it wears off i feel 1 million times better than iv felt for years.. Its defo working it is a very strong antiB you would be aswell coping with the side affects because the overall result will be worth it. | F | 27 | 7 days 400mg | 5/4/2013 | 2 | Infection | Terrible.. Bad itch, neck pain, thirsty all the time, swollen ears, dark urine. Today is the last day to take it... thank god. | I totally didn't think about the side effects, and the doctor did not tell me about them, and there was no paper in the medicine box, I just figured out that these are side effects and got depressed today. I cant stop it, I only have two tablets left, but would never take it again. As the other person mentioned; it should be BANNED, and doctors need to be aware of that as well and mention it to the patients. I just came back from a camping trip and I thought I just had allergy from the weather in the city I went to, and never thought it was side effects. | F | 31 | 7 days 400 3X D | 5/4/2013 | 5 | BV | I experienced, fatigue, the feeling of having to puke and I actually puked on day #3 I had numbess/tingling in arms/legs/hands/feet. The next pain scared be, because I thought I had done something wrong with my neck until reading these reviews. Intense Constipation and diarrhea along with dehydration. Extreme paranoia and the thoughts that my life was over. These side effects r intense, but the odor and discomfort began to cease by day two! | F | 26 | 7 days 500 | 4/18/2013 | 5 | vaginal infection | It worked really well ..few side effects nothing I can't handle.dark urine ,drowsiness,bitter taste in mouth and my appetite varies | F | 19 | 5 days 500mg | 4/17/2013 | 2 | Bv infection | Been awake 3 days straight stomach cramps tired cranky sleepy but can't even fall to sleep sour taste in mouth no energy | F | 40 | 4 days 500mg x2 | 3/2/2013 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I took my first dose (500mg tablet) with food last night before bed. I felt fine when I woke, but this morning around 8 am, started with nausea, then an overall unwell, tired feeling, with chills. I started feeling panicky and anxious, and mentally kind of "out of it". I slept all day and missed an important work event due to the sick feeling, which really disappointed me. I had no appetite, dark urine, and muscle aches in my back. Overall, it's been flu-like symptoms as many here have said. There was a slight metallic taste in my mouth but not extreme. I will not take this medicine again! | F | 33 | 1 days 500mg 2XD | 3/2/2013 | 3 | BV | Dark urine, bad sore threat, bad headaches | F | 25 | 7 days | 2/19/2013 | 2 | Vaginal infection | dark urine, body odor, nausea, mood effects, sleeplessness | I don't see that others have included body odor as a side effect, but this has certainly been the case for me. I'm showering twice a day! | F | 31 | 7 days 500mg 2X D | 2/12/2013 | 5 | BV | Aside from dark urine, I've experienced no side effects. My symptoms began to go away by day 2 and at day 4 they were completely gone. This works fast and has brought such a relief. I feel much better! | F | 20 | 7 days 500MG 2x D | 1/22/2013 | 1 | gum infection,absese | Metal taste cant sleep eat confused,not nice atall will never take again as it burnt my mouth and lip ended up in more pain than when started should be BANNED | M | 38 | 7 days 400 | 1/22/2013 | 4 | BV | - fatigue - dark urine (which they say is normal) - slowness (I am so sluggish) - need to stay in bed | I had the medication once before to treat BV, it got rid of it but it returned. It made my vag' dry towards the end of its cycle, and I do have a minor headache. The first time i took the medication, i had the flu shot the same day i took it. I was knocked out cold. I thought it was the combination, but maybe it is this medication after all. If your symptoms aren't unbearable by day 2, I reckon you will be okay | F | 23 | 7 days 500mg 2X D | 1/15/2013 | 4 | BV | I was terrified to take this medication based on the terrible reviews. The bad reviews outweighed the good. But i took it anyways to cure my BV. The first day i felt a bit jittery and light headed. The second day was about the same. Then the symptoms were basically gone until day 5 when i got a mild sore throat. Over the course of the medication I experienced mild light headed feelings, but not too terrible. Overall, it was not nearly as bad as i expected it to be. But it does leave you with an overall feeling of being off. If i was prescribed this medication again, i would probably ask my doctor for something else. However, I would take it again if it was my only option. It did fix my BV in a matter of days. To me the side effects are bearable, but not enjoyable. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X D | 12/26/2012 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | The worst drug I've ever experienced. I was on my 5th day, had to stop taking it yesterday as was awake from 4-9 in the morning vomiting on Christmas day. It's boxing day and I've woke up again at 4 to severe nausea,trembling and all week I've felt nauseas, tired, racing heart, and exhausted all the time. The smell from bv has gone so I assume the infection has as well but if the vomiting ans constant nausea were caused by the drug then it definitely isnt worth it. | F | 19 | 7 days 2x a day | 12/25/2012 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Nausea, Dizziness, Dry Mouth, Vaginal Dryness, Confusion, Gross taste in my mouth, Abdominal Bloating, Abdominal Pain, Insomnia, Chest Pain, Anxiety, Depression, less ability to cry normally, chills, shaking, runny nose, sore throat, numb tongue, swollen fingers, AWFUL BURNING CHILL RADIATING FROM MIDDLE OF CHEST. Most of these lasted 3+ weeks and some are still continuing or have come since. It has been over a month. | ****DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!!!!**** I wish I had never taken this, or had stopped when it started making me sick. I went to the Doctor with a strong vaginal odour that had been occuring for about 6 months. He did a urine test- which came back clear- then did a vaginal swab. He ruled out other problems and the test came back positive for BV. I had tried natural remedies first and they didn't work on the smell. I saw some scary things online about this medicine, but called my Nurse and she said that it was safe and that it was the only option to cure the symptom. She also told me that it was very important to complete the course of treatment as otherwise the bacteria could come back stronger. I took this for 7 days. After 4 or 5 days, I called the Nurse as the odour wasn't going away. She gave me the Dr's e-mail address and he responded that it should have worked, that the side-effects were probably from the drug, and that I should finish the treatment and then let him know how I was doing. I contacted him again on the 6th day to let him know that it still wasn't working. He said that I could stop taking it if I wanted, as it should have worked, that maybe the smell was from something else, but if the BV didn't clear up I would have to have more drugs. So I took my 3rd-last dose and asked him if I should continue as I didn't want the BV to come back. He said ok and that the side effects would go away after treatment. Well, I finished, the smell is stil | F | 32 | 7 days 500MG 2X D | 12/12/2012 | 1 | gum infection after extractions | dark urine,sick,tired, vomit, sleepy,itchy skin | ive been on this drug for 4 days and right away i had dark urine and its the 4thday today and i got sick to the point of vomit, the urine has lightened bit the pain in my gums are still there but have moved down to my lower gums mostly still.. unbearable. it feels like i have the flu. i cant do anything but lay down this drug is horrible i hope it does some good soon besides the pain and being on painkilers to every 4hrs before and sine the extractions i cant afford to be super super sick to with a familly ,kids and household to look after super awful drug | F | 42 | 4 days 400 mg 1X D | 12/7/2012 | 1 | Abscess | Tiredness, spaced out feeling, dizziness, lack of energy, bizarre feelings when trying to go back to sleep after woken up in night. Lower stomach cramps. Aching limbs. General feeling of being in a trance whilst dizzy. Dark urine, urinating more frequently. Loss of appetite. | I am also taking 500mg twice a day of Clarithromycin so may be a mixture of the 2 as taken them before for a dental problem but don't think I felt this weird. This is my 4th day of taking and another 3 days to go...hopefully this is all I'll get and as I'm 3.5 days in I'd have thought it should be. Nasty anti-biotic but hopefully it'll work. | F | 31 | 7 days 400 mg 3X D | 12/4/2012 | 1 | gum infection | Runny nose, extreme nausea, upset stomach, itchy skin, headaches, tiredness, confusion , flu like symptoms | F | 27 | 1 days | 11/17/2012 | 4 | Dry socket after tooth extraction | Overwhelming fatigue - too weak to get out of bed. Sudden big bouts of nausea leading to dry retching (which seems to relieve the nausea). Very thirsty for water. No appetite at all. Relatively sleepless. | If it does the job it's probably worth it, but I was unprepared by my dentist for how this would make me feel. Have lost several days of work as a result. At the moment I'm on day3 out of a 7-day course. | F | 49 | 7 days 400mg 3X D | 11/16/2012 | 1 | Bv | Horrible taste in mouth, vomitting nightmares. Taking this pill makes me gag and feel sick to my stomach I am also pregnant. The taste is unbearable so to help take a little peice of bread and wrap it around the pill. Makes it a little hard to swallow but no nasty taste. | F | 19 | 7 days 2x D | 10/27/2012 | 4 | infection | I took my last dose last night...i have to go back to doctor for a follow up in a few weeks, but as for side effects...they were dark urine, itching, dull head ache, dry mouth, nasty taste..severe thirsting. Itchy head. But overall not anything that i couldnt handle again if needed. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 mg | 10/19/2012 | 1 | HPV | This drug made me feel like I was going absolutely insane. I couldn't think straight, I was constantly worrying about things, out of no where became depressed, doubts and confusion about my life, horrible taste in mouth, random crying, nauseated all the time, randomly broke out in a sweat and felt like I was going to throw up, shaking, fast heart rate, incredibly moody, weird dreams. NEVER will I EVER take anything like this again. Like everyone else has said, I am so glad I saw other people having the same side effects made me feel like there was hope that I wasn't just going crazy. I had no idea a medication could affect someone so much as a person this bad. All I can do now is never take it again, and pray that I will recover and go back to normal. | F | 19 | 500mg 3X D | 10/8/2012 | 3 | C diff | Dark urine, depression, cold sweats, feeling foggy, loss of appetite , metallic taste it mouth , bloated feeling, nightmares, anxiety, confusion | F | 28 | 10 days 500 | 10/6/2012 | 2 | cyst removed followed by infection. | Nausea...metallic taste in mouth...diarrea...achey like flu symptoms...slight itching...loss of appetite...very tired...strange dreams...insomnia..headaches first few days...dizziness | F | 43 | 10 days 500 mg 3xs | 10/4/2012 | 2 | vaginitis | horrible nausea and headaches, some vomiting | This medicine made me feel terrible- like I had the flu | F | 24 | 7 days 500 2X D | 10/4/2012 | 1 | Bv | Anxiety, feeling gross, fever, vomiting. | F | 18 | 7 days 500 | 9/30/2012 | 5 | Dental Abscess | Furry Teeth!! Constantly after day 5! I was tired, breathless & sick but I was lost in a haze of pain and SO I can't say what this particular drug caused. | I was on double dosage for first day and on extra dosage via I.V. also on the third day. Was on Amoxicillin trihydrate 500mg for the same time (3/day, double first day, plus IV third day). This seems to have cleared up my abscess... they are still monitoring it. My abscess was so bad and so sudden that the whole left side of my face swelled from my jaw to my eye within 48 hours and thats while I was on the antobiotics. | F | 36 | 8 days 400mg 3X D | 9/25/2012 | 1 | BV | This antibiotic put me on my butt! Plus i started my period so i was double tired. I felt exhausted, major anxiety, cold/flu like symptoms of neck and shoulder pain, night sweats, diziness. I have taken this med in the past and dont remember this side effect. It could have been a different dosage. Home from work today...only two more days thank goodness! | Seems to be working for clearing up BV. Taking accuflora probiotic with it so i hopefully dont get a yeast infection. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X D | 9/24/2012 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | Bad stomach cramps, feeling very tired and got sore eyes and generally feeling quite sick. I have been crying for no reason and had suicidal dreams last night. | absolutely horrible! I have to take this tablet 4 times a day for 2 weeks, im only at the beginning of day 2! I don't know if I could put up with this stomach pain much more, and the nightmares i have been having has scared me half to death. I will see how it goes but may go to doctor to get something different. | F | 20 | 2 weeks 200mg 4X D | 9/21/2012 | 1 | BV | Headache, neck ache, pain in joints, rash, metallic taste, itching | I was warned about this medication stating that it may make me ill. listen to them and dont take it. I stopped taking it 3 days ago and I am still coming out in a rash. It started on my arms and is now all over my legs. I stopped on the advice of my GP but at the time it was only on my arms (which he thought was strange) now it has developed more. The headaches are bad too and today there is shortness of breath 3 days after stopping it. I hope it doesnt last much longer. I would welcome other remedy advice for BV. | F | 49 | 3 days 400 2X D | 9/16/2012 | 1 | C. Diff infection | Fatigue, severe headaches, severe muscle and joint aches, irritability, depression, flu-like symptoms, neck pain, jaw pain and swelling, shakiness, sweating, fever and chills. | If there is any way to avoid this medication, I would! Or be prepared for some heavy duty side effects. Strangely, I had taken this med before and didn't have any problems other than a little nausea and bad taste in my mouth. I have to say, flagyl seems to be working on the c.diff, but with all the side effects I seriously thought I had meningitis or something. Within a few days I thought I was coming down with a cold or flu, then I had headaches and low grade fever and then came the random 10 out of 10 jaw pain and swelling. I could barely open my mouth. I'm sure these awful side effects will go away, so I will keep with the meds. However, BE PREPARED for a not so fun ride if you are prescribed this med. | F | 32 | 5 days 500 mg 3X D | 9/15/2012 | 1 | Bv | Horrible! Made me angry and anxious and very very moody. I was very tired and irritable. Then on the 3rd day of taking it my entire stomach and front of my thighs were experiencing a burning sensation. I stopped taking the antibiotic as soon as I experienced the burning after reading about neuropathy that can result from this antibiotic. It has helped clear up my bv, let's hope I have enough in my system. Do not take this antibiotic unless you have no other options. | F | 37 | 3 days 500 mg 2x | 9/14/2012 | 1 | gum infection | I had very sore gums , when i took these tabs it just got extremely worse. I had to take 4 paracetamol 500mgs to get rid of it. | M | 58 | 5 days 200 3X D | 9/12/2012 | 5 | BV | If there's a side effect to get, I usually have it, but I didn't even get my usual antibiotic bad stomach with this drug. I did get quite bloated and have an unusual amount of wind, but nothing serious! I started taking this in the midst of a horrible feverish cold, and I was dreading the antibiotic symptoms on top of it, but it only improved and the foggy head lifted, along with the BV | F | 26 | 7 days 500mg | 9/11/2012 | 1 | BV | intestinal distress, cramps, severe abdominal pain, severe lower back pain progressing to back and stomach spasms, general feeling of listlessness, slight dizziness | The abdominal cramps and back pain is so severe I can barely function. I will never take this medication again. | F | 40 | 3 days 500MG 2X D | 9/8/2012 | 5 | vaginitis | Very nervous to take due to bad reviews, however besides metallic taste and thirsty all is good. Day 4 of 5(not a option to put 5) but I feel soooo much better. Wait the whole prescription and some before you attempt sex as infection wont go if too soon. | F | 40 | 6 days 500 | 9/5/2012 | 3 | Infection after wisdom tooth out | It seems to be clearing the infection but I feel dreadful. Flu like aching all over body, heavy muscles, bad dreams, waking up panicking, back of my neck is so sore, vague headaches, vague stomach ache. Worst of all are the body aches though, I feel like I have ran a marathon. V unpleasant. Got 3 days left I don't know if I can handle it! | F | 29 | 4 days 400mg x3 | 8/28/2012 | 1 | wisdom tooth extraction | Utterly horrible! Started 24 hours after first dose with numbness in my feet, which then spread to my hands. Bloated 'windy' stomach. Dark and frequent urine.Then on day 3 came the nausia and a tight chested feeling (felt like I was on the verge of a panic attack - very anxious), unable to concentrate. Then came neck pain. After 3 days of this I called my dentist who advised to stop taking the pills. Side effects subsided over the next few days. But 4 days after I stopped taking it, I developed a blistering sore rash on the tops of my hands and lower arms, eyelids and feet. Now taking antihistamines to control the rash. Now 8 days since I stopped taking metronidazole and rash is still present but not quite as aggressive. Hands and feet still tingle but feeling is slowly returning. | Unless you have taken this drug before with no adverse reactions, I'd strongly advise not to take it. Ask your doctor/dentist/pharmacist for an alternative. I'm a healthy, active 29 year old male with no history of allergy or reaction, but this drug has made me feel worse than I have ever felt in my life. If you're suffering from similar side effects you have my sympathy. Don't delay speaking to your doctor if any of these side effects are present. | M | 29 | 5 days 500 3X D | 8/22/2012 | 4 | BV | I'm on my fifth day of metronidazole for BV and it has been quite interesting. I'm not sure if I got a cold the same day I started but here are all the symptoms I've had: -anxiety attacks, narrow vision -severe stomach pain -sore throat -stuffy nose -stuff neck -hearing loss, I imagined because Im so backed up If its from the cold then the stomach pain and anxiety attacks which I've only had three times is definitely from thr meds. Just throwing this out there but midis also gave me an anxiety attack. I actually felt like I was on drugs the whole time. Misconbobulated. Hope this helps. I'm not complaining because it fixed the BV its just very powerful. | F | 26 | 7 days 100mg | 8/21/2012 | 2 | Abcesses | metallic taste, dizziness, nausea, possibly carcinogenic effect, but can't be proved | I had over 3 weeks on intravenous metronidzole in February 2011 for Abcesses. It did the job at the time, but was mixed with two other antibiotics, gentomyocine and tycoplanin. Lots of side effects as mentioned, but manageable. About 4 months later I started to feel very I'll with similar abcess problems, but also a lot more pain. By December it was so bad I ended up in hospital with a tumour having a colostomy. I have had Crohn's disease for about 20 years. Looked at side effects today because I still have the abcess problem and they can't start the chemotherapy because of it. I am on metronidozole again and feeling horrible, then I read that one of the side effects is carcinoma in patients with crohn's disease. I am now very worried. I don't need the cancer to come back! I have another week on it yet! | F | 46 | 2 weeks 400mg 3X D | 8/19/2012 | 1 | amoebic infection E.Hystollitica | nausea, irritable, aggressive, loss of appetite, unable to focus, some weakness in the legs, bitter taste n mouth | The Doctor warned me that this pill will probably make you feel unwell. If the Doc knows this then why does it then have a 'middle' rating. This was my 2nd attempt at eradicating the amoeba. The first attempt was just 500Mg x 3 per day and it didn't work | M | 55 | 10 days 750Mg 3X D | 8/19/2012 | 1 | infection | Jaw pain, anxiety, heart racing, can't sleep, ect ect .. horrible medicine. I only took the pill twice and my jaw still feels awful .. | F | 20 | 2 days | 8/18/2012 | 1 | Tooth Infection | Vomitting after only one tablet, fatigue but unable to sleep. Sweating, fever, acting crazy, didnt help the pain. Stopped on day 2 and changed to another antibiotic yet still unable to keep anything down except dry toast. Worse experience ever. Although reviews here have reassured me im not alone. | F | 27 | 1 days | 8/9/2012 | 3 | Tooth infection | Bitter taste in mouth and felt really insecure and paranoid completely out of the blue. | It does seem to have reduced the swelling, so effective, but side effects not too pleasant. | F | 33 | 3 days 400 3X D | 8/8/2012 | 1 | after dental surgery | After taking only 4 tablets had pounding headache and severe red rash round my feet and ankles. I have peripheral neuropathy, for about 12 years, and have since discovered Metronidazole can cause this! Even 4 tablets have definitely made it worse. Nor do I have parasites which I see this drug is used against. Doctors!! | F | 82 | 2 days ? | 8/4/2012 | 5 | garndella vaginalis | yeah i couldnt drink water without tasty bitter | F | 32 | 7 days 400mg | 7/30/2012 | 3 | Tooth infection | Agonising stomach cramps with trapped wind. Bloating. Painful bladder. Loose stools. | This is the 2nd time on this drug and both times have had the same symptoms. Cannot stand straight due to the awful stomach pains. | F | 63 | 5 days 400 3X D | 7/28/2012 | 4 | Stomach infection | nausea, weakness | F | 27 | 10 days 500 mg | 7/27/2012 | 3 | BV | This cleared up the BV,but after finishing the cours i have a bad metalic taste in my mouth and really bad dizziness,which as caused me to have time off work. I finished the course 5 days ago and its getting me down. As anyone else had this problem? | F | 40 | 7 days | 7/24/2012 | 4 | BV | Terrible insomnia (less than 4hrs of sleep per night), sour mouth, and I have been SO tired. I've done little sleep nights in a row but have never felt this tired before in my life. I haven't had any severe stomach cramps or dizziness but have felt overall icky for days. | I don't think I will be taking this medication again. It seems I was "lucky" this time, but I won't chance worse symptoms next time. | F | 21 | 7 days 500MG 2X D | 7/21/2012 | 5 | Gum infection post tooth extraction | Darker urine than normal/sort of beer colored Feeling spaced-out, everything seems extra real and HD Muscle pains in neck (both sides) | Worth suffering the side-effects for a few days if the infection goes away. No big deal really. | M | 50 | 4 days 400mg 3X D | 7/15/2012 | 4 | diverticulitis | Let's keep this site fresh, as the side effects were vicious. I got terrified until I found this site near the end of my course and found out many other people had the same issues. Thank You everyone! The worst was the weird mental state. Second worst was a horrible muscle-type ache in neck. Third was fuzzy tongue.If I had known would be so bad, wouldn't have started it while husband on business trip. Put off calling doctor because I had 2 kids to stay with and she had mumbled something about putting me in hospital. Figured I could always call an ambulance. Hung in there, but was really spacey, moody, scared and weak. | This all happened a year ago. The medicine completely treated the diverticulitis. I needed antifungul medicine as followup for fungal tongue infection. I think my diverticulistis is back now and I'm scared to use this again. | F | 57 | 7 days 200 mg 2X D | 7/11/2012 | 1 | Tooth Infection | Dizzy, insomnia, tightening in chest, lower intestines constantly gurgling like my stomach was empty, loss of appetite, random bleeding and period not due for two weeks, brain fog, bad taste in mouth, rash on one arm and etc etc! | What the hell was my dentist thinking when he prescribed me this?? I developed an infection after a root canal and my face swelled and he calls this stuff in. I ate before every pill and do not drink alcohol, and felt worse on these pills. I was really starting to think the infection was spreading to my brain and other areas due to all these side effects. Thankfully I googled all my issues and found this site. I gave this same stuff to my dog years ago for a parasite I wonder how the poor thing felt. Ask for a different antibiotic if you DR/DDS tries to give you this crap! | F | 42 | 4.5 days 500 mg 3X D | 7/8/2012 | 1 | Diverticulitis | This is a horrible drug. Iwas in the hospital for 4 days and received this thru my IV. I also took it for 2 days after that at home. I developed a severe rash and hives by the third day. During the first two days I was itching everywhere. I have had anxiety problems in the past, but this drug made me feel incredibly weird. I became angry and sad at times and felt like I was going to have a panic attack while in the hospital. I paced the room at night, had cramping, constipation, and bloating. By the the third day my vein collapsed in the IV. They movedte IV 2 more times until I finally told them no more! I told the surgeon many times but he refused to believe that the drug was causing any problems. My family doctor finally was te one who said stop the drug 5 days later. I had to have steroids and take benadryl for 7 days because of the rash and hives. I kept calling my wife while I was in the hospital to come and get me as my anxiety became so bad. Don't take this drug! | i will not take this drug again! | M | 50 | 5 days 500mg 3X D | 6/29/2012 | 3 | Tooth Infection | Depression, Aniexty, Upset Stomach, dry mouth, headache - general feeling like rubbish | I am kind of relieved in a way that so many people have had the same symptoms as me. I thought there was something seriously wrong. They have helped the infection in my tooth. My dentist prescribed them to help infection so she can take wisdom tooth out | F | 34 | 5 days 400G 3X D | 6/26/2012 |
