| 3 | Tooth Root Infection | Cloudy head. Anxiety. Slight feeling of onset of panic attack. Strange taste in mouth and odd sense of smell. Loose bowel movements that smelled worse than normal. Dark urine. Intense nausea. Intense dizziness. Drowsiness. Generally felt pretty unwell. | The pills taste awful so you need to swallow them quickly. After 3 days the slightest taste of the pill would make me wretch and feel sick for some time after taking it. | M | 33 | 7 days 400mg | 11/3/2016 | 1 | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease | Nausea for the first few days, feeling of vertigo and a disturbed sleep. Started to get tingly sensations in my legs, groin pain, tiredness, agitation, no motivation, anxiety, dark urine, lack of appetite, itching, sweats at night, chills in the day. Leg pain, back pain, arm pain.. Then spread to my joints.. Struggled to stand and walk. (Horrible feeling). | I put a lot of the pain down to the diagnosed condition. I was not told about the side effects of this horrible poisonous tablet!! If I had known I would have come off it a lot sooner.. Haven't made it into work today because I feel that rubbish! It's been a day since I last took it, im praying these side effects subside soon. Will never take again!! | F | 26 | 2 weeks I | 10/31/2016 | 1 | tooth root abscess | pressure in the neck, headache, nausea, pain behind eyes, pain at the back of the head, feeling "spaced out",slurred speech twice, a month after taking it it got worse:severe neck pain, jerking of hands and head mainly, jaw clenching, vertigo, short dizzy spells due to eye problems, shooting pain down arms and legs, facial burning, numbing, painful teeth, L sided weakness, fatigue, severe muscle weakness(unable to keep head up), weak legs, arms, problems standing and walking(brief), hypersensitive skin on foot and back of the head, anxiety, joint and muscle pains | People don't panic as it is very easy, it does get better, Im still in recovery 3 months from taking the last tablet. | F | 38 | 3 days 400 | 10/24/2016 | 1 | c diff | difficulty walking, slurred speech, shortness of breath, extreme weakness/fatigue, insomnia, muscle twitches (especially in legs), hand tremors, brain fog/difficulty concentrating, SEVERE ANXIETY, depression, no appetite, weight loss, constipation, heart palpitations, dry mouth, neck pain, pressure in the back of head | I've created a blog about METRONIDAZOLE TOXICITY--feel free to visit (metrogirlblog.wordpress.com) or email me at [email protected] (askapatient keeps giving me a "failure delivery" whenever I try to email people, so just copy/paste my email). I'm not a doctor but I have done a lot of research on this drug and wanted to share. I had my adverse reaction to metronidazole in June 2015. Almost all of my symptoms have resolved, but it's been a long road. I've talked to a lot of people with this, and the most common side effects seem to be psychiatric--anxiety, depression, insomnia, loss of appetite, brain fog, a strange pressure-like sensation in the back of the head, and oddly enough, neck pain. Other people have motor control issues and burning/tingling in the hands/feet (peripheral neuropathy). You're not going crazy--this brain affects the brain, mainly the cerebellum, but other places like the midbrain and basal ganglia as well (just to note, Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease are illness of the basal ganglia). Some people recover very quickly after taking the drug--others take more time. About 65% of patients recover completely, 29% improve and the remaining 6% have permanent cognitive impairment. If you've stopped taking the drug and didn't suffer cognitive impairment while on it, you probably won't at this point. But it's some scary stuff. Doctors ARE CLUELESS when it comes to this--don't expect them to believe you. | F | 35 | 7 days 500 3X day | 10/20/2016 Patient History | 1 | Diverticulitis | Horrible taste, pounding head, insomnia, PANIC, nausea, cold hand and feet, blurred vision | This medication made me feel like I was taking poison! The panic attacks come and go, throughout the day. | F | 56 | 2 weeks 500mg | 10/9/2016 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Falling asleep without the ability to wake up. | Ok, so I was prescribed this medicine for bacterial vaginosis. Every single time I took it, an hour later I would suddenly black out and nobody could wake me up no matter how hard they tried for hours. I was supposed to stick with this medicine for 12 days but ended up taking it for only 10. It got rid of my vaginosis, but the side effects were scary and I should have quit taking it after that first pill. | F | 19 | 10 days 2X day | 10/7/2016 | 4 | Bv | Bloating, Dark Urine, Restless Legs at Night, Trouble Sleeping, Vaginal Itching. | Still taking. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 10/1/2016 | 5 | Trichomoniasis | Headaches/migraines Sleepiness Tired Dizziness that lasted one day Upset stomach on last two days Brain fog/slowness Sneezing, stuffy nose Drying | Even with all the side effects, this worked wonderfully. I noticed a huge improvement and am grateful for this medicine. | F | 38 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 9/27/2016 | 3 | Clostridium deficile | Insomnia, nausea, anorexia, horrible vivid nightmares | F | 53 | 2 weeks 2000 | 9/23/2016 | 3 | Bacteria | Dark Urine within 3 days. Metallic taste in my mouth within 2 days along with dry mouth making me VERY thirsty. Nausea and dizziness the 3rd day making me anorexic (already skinny as it is). Lethargy. | Umm.. I don't feel any different from when I got diagnosed with bacteria (Down South) to now which I got 2 more days of the medication, besides all of the horrible side affects. I don't even fully understand what they diagnosed me with. It better be worth it is all:( | F | 22 | 6 days | 9/17/2016 | 3 | Diverticulitis | Extremely aggressive. Time seems faster. Dizzy head. Funny taste in mouth. Headache. Tiredness and joint pain. | Got rid of infection tho | F | 33 | 10 days 400 | 9/11/2016 | 4 | Gum infection | Horrid test in mouth, felt weird, waking up at night, and feeling tired all the time | I didn't like the side effects, but rather feel like that then the pain i was in, wouldn't like to take them again | F | 38 | 5 days 400 | 8/14/2016 | 5 | Bacteria infection from cat bite | Anxiety , tiredness, emotional, and on sixth day painful heartburn. I was also on amoxicillin 500 mg twice a day and augmentin 500mg twice a day. But I believe it is the metronidazole which causes the heartburn as I have had the other medications before | F | 58 | 7 days 400 MG | 8/11/2016 | 3 | Bacteria | Extreme anxiety, depresion, random headaches, stomachache, sadness, severe nausea, tireness, metallic taste. | I Took the 4 500mg tablets at once and so far This are the worst side effects I've ever had with a medication, its the 3rd day after I took them and it's still making me feel bad it's terrible, I will never have these pills again. | M | 27 | 1 days 2g | 8/7/2016 | 1 | BV | Anxiety, nausea, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, tingling and numbness in fingers, leg cramps, dizziness like ive never experienced before in my life, aches and pains like with the flu, chills, mild fever | This medication is satan in pill form. Take this at your own risk. You will want to die. I am never ever ever ever ever taking this medication again. Ever. | F | 32 | 2 days 250mg | 8/3/2016 | 2 | BV | dizziness, lethargy, tingling, soreness, sadness, mild fever | Would not recommend. Was supposed to be on it for 7 days then these side effects turned up so I called my doctor and they told me to stop. I made it to the 4th day of taking the medicine then I just couldn't bear it. May just have been my reaction but it seems like lots of people having similar experience on this site so thats good to know. Symptoms of BV cleared up after 3 days though but obviously wanted to finish the dosage. Doctor suggested taking probiotics so if you do take the medicine make sure to take it with probiotics to avoid a lot of these symptoms. | F | 20 | 7 days 400 2X day | 7/29/2016 | 1 | BV | I recently suffered a second miscarriage and during my D&C they noted I had BV, they waited a couple of weeks to treat so I could recover from the op. I am on day three of the antibiotics and am seriously considering coming off them. I have suffered from ME since I was 16 and am used to a daily high level of fatigue but the tiredness I have felt since taking this drug is unprecedented. It has also made me very low and close to tears which has made my work life really challenging with such erratic mood swings. After having such a traumatic time with my miscarriage this has been the last thing I need. I have also noticed hot flushes, pressure behind the eyes, sore throat, fuzziness and some mild nausea. Ringing my GP in the morning to decide whether to proceed with the course as at the moment I doubt I will be fit for work if I continue. | F | 25 | 7 days 2X day | 7/27/2016 | 1 | Horrible | Upset stomach , trouble breathing ,nauseous | Do not take this medicine , find an alternative | F | 36 | 5 days 500 mg | 7/26/2016 | 4 | Gum infection | None | Has helped a lot but took 4 days to start working and my 7 day course finishes tonight. Still have pain in jaw and occasional nerve pain in tooth. Gland still swollen in neck. Check up at dentist tomorrow but pretty i'm going to need another course as not cleared yet. | F | 37 | 7 days 200mg tds | 7/17/2016 | 4 | pid | Serious brain fog, can't focus on anything not even my favourite soap on television. achy muscles also. | F | 36 | 10 days 400 | 6/25/2016 |
