 2  Lichen Planus (severe case) Somewhat metallic taste, although more like concrete but isn't as bad if dosage is altered (1 one day, 2 next, 1 next, and so on)seems to be better now. Dizziness - to the point I fainted once. Loss of appetite - tough to force food in order to take drug. Very itchy, but so is the condition so not sure if its worsened by the drug. Slight numbness in fingers. Am seeing doctor tomorrow. On it so far for two weeks and have a 31 day supply. So far have not noticed any improvement with the Lichen Planus. Do not take with alcohol, coffee or spicy food while taking and for a few days following - can severely upset the stomach. F 43 14 days

Amazingly sharp onset within 30 mins of taking them but seems to go after about 3 hrs. 3 x 200mg per day on two occasions.

 4  Bacterial infection It gave me a terrible taste in my mouth. I often felt nauseated. I couldn't really eat anything with it. It would sometimes put me in a state of confusion. My head would feel somewhat heavy and I would get mild headaches. It also terribly irritated my throat and tonsils which would then congest and add pressure in my ears. It did it's job. But I would highly recommend you to ask your doctor if there are any other medications you could take instead of Metronidazole. If not, drink lots of water to help wash it down. F 22 7 days

 4  Periodontal Infection Continual revolting taste in mouth. Feel woozy and irritable. Loss of energy. Sore spots like ulcers in mouth and swollen/sore throat. Basically makes you feel ill. Got rid of the infection very effectively, but finishing the course is a great relief. Appears to be the standard treatment for this kind of thing. Why can't they make it in capsule form so at least you don't suffer the vile taste? M 49 7 days

 1  Root canal re-treatment Continuous unpleasent metallic taste after 4th dose; Extreme irritability; Fidgity feeling for several hours after taking it; Very uncomfortable spacey feeling like anxiety without increased heart rate; General feeling of having a toxin in my body There were no side effects after the first couple of doses but they developed around day 2 and got progressively worse. The side effects became so bad I stopped taking it after 9 doses (2 1/2 days). I will elect to have this tooth extracted rather than stay on this drug if there aren't any other options. I will NEVER take this drug again. M 37 2.5 days
