| 5 | Bv | Diarrhea Nausea Stomach cramps Stiffness in legs | F | 21 | 7 days 400mg | 3/21/2016 | 1 | dental infection | This is my 2nd review after another very severe panic attack requiring emergency room treatment. This attack was much worse than the first one. BP 220/110, breathing difficulties, racing heart, full body tremors, sweating and cold at the same time, leg pains, massive headache, blurred vision, dry mouth. After emergency treatment and injection of diuretics I was able to pass urine normally for the first time since starting on this poisonous substance. I've stopped taking flagyl and 4 days later can at least swallow and eat normally, urine returned to pale colour. Internal shaking continues, blood pressure very erratic highs and lows. | A drug with TERRIBLE side effects. Be warned. | F | 58 | 5 days 500 | 3/20/2016 | 4 | BV | Horrible nausea,then day 3 horrible and pain...can hardly wait for rest if week | F | 60 | 7 days 500 | 3/19/2016 | 3 | Pid | Severe migraines,lack of appetite, rash, tingling in hands and feet, metallic taste in my mouth, white tongue, dark color urine, diarrhea, lack in urine, constipation, pain and stiffness in legs. | This medicine's side effects are harsh af. I didn't know whether or not i was having an allergic reaction to it so i called the pharmacist who stated all these symptoms are common and to finish the prescribed amount... 😞 | F | 28 | 2 weeks 500mg | 3/18/2016 | 3 | had a stinging discharge | l am 12 weeks pregnant and as l was inthe middle of the course l was bleeding for 2 days inthe mornings only and after that the color of discharge changed to redish ,sometimes brownish | none | F | 20 | 7 days 200MG | 3/18/2016 | 3 | Infection | Tingling and prickling in entire body Constipation | F | 36 | 7 days 500 | 3/12/2016 | 1 | PID | Dizziness, confusion, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts towards end of prescription. Headaches, stomach upset, severe nausea if not taken with enough food, nervousness, shimmy headed almost like motion sickness. Talk to your doctor about side effects and ask for an alternative. Its just way to much. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 500 mg | 3/6/2016 | 1 | BV | Horrible drugs. I've been having the worst HEARTBURN ever. I've never had heartburn and this is such a horrible feeling. I cannot sleep because of it. Stomache ache as well. Headache increases as days goes by. I've been afraid to eat anything. | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AND ASK FOR ANOTHER OPTION. | F | 23 | 3 days 500mg | 2/28/2016 | 1 | Bacteria & Stomach Pain | This medication is the worst experience I have had ever. It is giving me nightmares that I cannot even describe. Makes me foggy with my thinking during the day and has several other effects and you wonder what is going on. I wish I could come off it right now but I am petrified that if I do the infection might come and I would have to start all over again. Sometimes you wonder if the DR knows what he is doing. I pray there will be no long term damage to any part of body. Be warned. | M | 67 | 6 days 500 MG 2X day | 2/11/2016 | 1 | Right hand pain/numbness and stomach pains, I didn't have any of these symptoms before taking this medication | F | 39 | 5 days | 2/6/2016 | 4 | C-diff | Tired feeling all day long...best to keep busy. Bad burning and pain in my left leg. Low libido | Stopped my diarrhea around day 3. At first I had very little appetite but it cam back, ate bananas and probiotic yogurt. I had worse medications | M | 50 | 10 days 500 2X day | 2/4/2016 | 1 | abscess on gum | Lost the use of my left arm ,completely disoriented.very weak | Do not take these. I have never felt so ill | F | 64 | 3 days 400 | 1/29/2016 | 1 | Op in my mouth - Periodontitus | Dizziness, light headed, foggy brain, unbalanced, numbness/tingling in left foot, severe pain in neck. | I would recommend that you stay clear of this medication and if prescribed rather request for something else. There must be good alternatives - I of course would NEVER take this again. It has been over a week now since I stopped the medication and the side effects are still lingering. I just hope I recover fully from this. | M | 47 | 3 days 400 mg 2X day | 1/25/2016 | 1 | Infection | Nightmares,depression,anxiethy,heart beating,blurred vision,brainfog, stomachache,nausea,neuropathy, burning sensation on the body,muscle spasm, shaking, nervous, pain in The body, headache, dizzieness,off balance, sound and Light sensitive | DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON. Flagyl should not even been out there. Its 3 months since i took it, ended up in ER. And my life is destroyed. I now have neuropathy, dizzieness all Day, off balance. I probably have otoxicity now, blurred vision, extremly dry skin, extreme head pressure and pain, extreme pain in The whole body. Cant sleep at all, panic attacks from hell, severe depression, lost a lot of weight, severe nausea, brainfog like i cant think, fatigue, furry tounge. If you value your life, do not take this. Ask your doctor for another medication. I Wish i could turn back time and never took this poison. | F | 38 | 6 days | 1/25/2016 | 2 | Stomach problems | Numbness of arms and legs, difficulty breathing, panic attack, crying, focusing problem | I would never think an antibiotic could give such effect, like hormonal medicine.I was drinking it tree times a day and on third day just after I slept I woke up because I couldnt breath, and it was so difficult to do for a while. At the same time I got numbness of my arms and legs, my heart rate was very fast. All these special effects made me really scared. I couldnt think it was Metronidazol. Next day I was sooo emotional, I couldnt believe myself that I was hysterically crying because my husband didnt want to buy products. Just to describe the whole story, I couldnt even go to my classes because life ended after that, I came back home and cried for an hour(!) without to stop like never in my life. And again I had this strange feeling in my arms and legs which made me cry more. Just after that I said to myself hey its not normal and came to this website. I see that there are a lot of people suffering from it. Once I got another medicine containing Metronidazol and there was no any problem. Very strange. Also there was problem to concentrate. | F | 29 | 3 days 3X day | 1/19/2016 | 5 | BV | Dry mouth, nightmares, frequent urination | I didn't find it as difficult as others. | F | 28 | 7 days 1000 mg/d | 1/11/2016 | 5 | chronic late stage lyme disease | Physical and emotional draining,Day 1 dark urine, day 2 usually presents a migraine, day 3 insomnia sets in...Herxheimer reaction. See below.... | Thank goodness for this drug! Yes, I feel dreadful (as in bed-bound) but I understand that to reflect the number of dead bacteria which it causes to float around my body, these cause a huge inflammatory response (Herxheimer Reaction/Die off reaction) I take 3 day pulse doses every 10 days, supporting my immune system, gut and de-toxing all the way. The worse you feel whilst taking an antibiotic can be indicative of the level of germs it's killing within your body. I've been using pulses for 13 months now and am definitely slightly better so will continue (It is likely that I got the original Borellia infection 46 years ago and have had 4 tick attachments since, the last in 2008, red nymph tick with an Erythema Migrans presenting. Still no NHS positive blood test but until they improve their test method that is no surprise. I do however have a positive from Infectolab, Augsberg, Germany. To conclude; Horray for this drug, it has saved my life without doubt. | F | 51 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 12/29/2015 | 2 | Dental infection | I first experienced pouring sweat in my sleep, but after 24 hours, I began having intense anxiety, with numerous panic attacks. Deep, fast heart rate. Sweating, with goose bumps and chills. Terrible shaking. Insomnia, but who can sleep with their heart racing? I couldn't eat if I tried. With the panic attacks came cramps diarrhea. My stomach was in knots, actually really uncomfortable. I will NEVER take this medicine again. | Funny part is, it stopped the infection in its tracks. But now half way through, I can't finish them, because I can't live like this! So now I have to start a whole new antibiotic regimine to make sure the infection is completely gone. | F | 39 | 5 days 500 mg | 12/23/2015 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | Vertigo, dizziness, fatigue, headache, sore eyes, nystagmus, nausea, tremors, light headed, depression, brain fog, spaced out, yeast infection. | Please beware!! I was diagnosed with an inner ear disorder called Vestibular Neuritis a few months ago. I was prescribed this medication to treat an unrelated (obviously) vaginal infection. It completely exacerbated my vertigo/vestibular symptoms!! It made me ten times more dizzy, and caused severe blurred vision and nystagmus (eyes shaking/unable to focus)!! I googled this medication in relation to vestibular disorders and this medication is considered an "ototoxic" medication. Webster's definition of "Ototoxic" is as follows: The property of being toxic to the ear; specifically the cochlea or auditory nerve, and sometimes the vestibular system, for example-as a side effect of a drug." Taking this medication while having a vestibular or ear issue is literally like adding fuel to a fire. Steer clear of it!! I would rather have a vaginal infection for months than deal with the side effects of Metrodinazole! Drs. need to stop prescribing this toxic poison! I stopped taking it after my 5th day. (Out of a 7 day dose.) I'd rather take my chances of the infection returning than spend another minute in misery from this crap! | F | 45 | 5 days 500 | 12/21/2015 | 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 |
