| 1 | BV | Diarrhea, Nausea, Upset Stomach, Mood Swings/ Crying Spells, Heart Palpitations, Anxiety, Weakness, Brain Fog, Suicidal Thoughts | I will never let anyone prescribe this medicine to me again. This past 7 days has been hell on earth for me. I would have rather suffer with BV for eternity than take this medicine. I felt like I was going to die. Skip it for the love of God. | F | 24 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/16/2015 | 1 | Dental abscess | Had many side effects that were very unpleasant and at times frightening,list as follows,dark urine and difficulty passing urine to the point only drips coming out,light headed,bitter taste in mouth severe depression that made me cry constantly and am ashamed to admit made me have dark thoughts,unable to sleep aches and pains in legs and back stomach upsets and dry mouth,i also had swellings down bellow all my bits were bulging while not painful but extremely uncomfortable,then as swellings subsided blisters appeared down there which hurt like hell,all in all this medicine is a dangerous drug and i would not touch ever again to be honest i am surprised its even prescribed by doctors,and last but not least it did not clear my dental infection so went through it all for nothing. | This did not clear my infection it did nothing at all so was a waste of time,i was put on this as my doctor didn't want to prescribe the other usual one i have with dental infections as he felt this was safer but as my side affects show it is far from safe,it may work for some but should be taken with caution. | F | 43 | 6 days 200mg 3X day | 12/10/2015 | 2 | Gum infection | Dark urine, headaches,extremely nauseous, mood swings, crying, jittery, post nasal drip/flu like symptoms. Horrible taste in mouth. After 5 days broke out in rash. | Never again. Worst antibiotic ever! Stopped taking it after my rash 5 days in to a 7 day course. My condition improved slightly but took forever to work. | F | 36 | 5 days 500mg | 12/7/2015 | 4 | Bv | . Dry mouth very drowsy Change in stools | Seems to be ok. | F | 44 | 3 days 500mg x2 | 12/5/2015 | 1 | Severe infection colon | Terrible never felt so il had to stop them after three days of a 7 day course. Having chills , flu like symptoms, nausea , diarrohea , bloated stomach , back pelvic pain , no energy. Feel worse than I did on these . | F | 52 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 12/4/2015 | 3 | h. Pylori | Severe itching with no rash and stomach and intestinal cramps. | Has anyone else experienced the itching. I have been off the pills for 7 days and the cramps and itching are still here | F | 53 | 10 days | 12/3/2015 | 1 | BV | Severe depression, anxiety, dizziness, blurred vision, upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, tiredness, loss of appetite. | I am very upset with my doctor for prescribing me this. She knows I suffer from depression and intense anxiety. For the week I took it I spiralled into a deep depression and even found myself in the ER due to my anxiety. I couldn't figure out why I was breaking down like this until I researched this medication! There are many other medications to treat BV I don't know why she felt the need to prescribe such a risky medication. Not only did I break down mentally, but I felt like I had the stomach flu for a week! I will make sure to research any medication prescribed to me prior to taking. I stopped taking it 3 days ago, feeling better but still dizzy, upset stomach, and no appetite. Do not take this medication unless there is absolutely no other option!! | F | 35 | 7 days 500mg | 12/1/2015 | 1 | bv | Depression,suicidal thoughts,crying, sleeping alot,confusion,buttocks pain, | I'm on day 5 and can't wait to finish this medication. I had suicidal thoughts today and nightmares. If it wasn't for this site I would of thought I was going crazy. | F | 22 | 7 days 500mg | 11/29/2015 | 1 | BV | More like what side effect did I NOT experience?! I was perfectly happy before I began this treatment. Dizziness, numbness and tingling, sensation of spinning/not knowing what the *&%^ is going on, waking up in the night, sleeplessness, tremors, severe confusion, feeling short of breath, lethargy, mental confusion..(I missed the turn for my house), depersonalization, "brain" pain (No, not headache), depression, changes in ear pressure, EXTREME anxiety to the point of going to the ER thinking i was having a stroke/seizure or dying. I told them I thought I was having a reaction to the antibiotic. They told me it was anxiety and to keep taking it and prescribed Xanax. Please, please PLEASE don't take this drug and if you are going to, please educate yourself on it first! I wish I had done more thorough research than the leaflet warning. As to whether it works or not, couldn't tell you, but I presume it must as it seems to be an all around POISON. | I have been taking this medication for 3 and a half days but the side effects are INTOLERABLE. I am APPALLED that this drug is on the market!! I felt like I was poisoning myself and would NOT WISH THIS DRUG ON MY WORST ENEMY!! It is THAT bad! I stopped taking it yesterday at noon. Today, the weird numbness has subsided but now just feeling bouts of depression and weird brain sensations. I am just praying that it didn't do any permanent damage and that it soon goes away. :( | F | 31 | 3 days 500 MG 2X day | 11/23/2015 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Dark urine (resembling sweet tea), fatigue, flu-like symptoms, frequent urination, increases discharge, and metallic taste in my mouth. | I was not aware I had bv. I had no foul odor, discharge, etc. I was diagnosed by my Gyne. In fact, I felt fine until I began taking this medication. I'm on Day 5, GYNE informed me that I will most likely end up with a yeast infection immediately after taking this antibiotic...sigh! | F | 43 | 7 days 500 mg | 11/10/2015 | 5 | bv | Feeling sickly, lot of wind,feeling g really bloated,and a funny tummy | F | 41 | 7 days 400mg | 11/3/2015 | 1 | Dental abscess | Headache. Foggy head. Dizzy. Extreme tiredness. Down and crying a lot. Tummy pains. Loss of appetite and confussion. | F | 35 | 5 days | 11/3/2015 | 1 | BV | Nausea, sleep deprived, lost of appetite, mood swings, crying, cramps, blood clots, and diarrhea | I hate this medicine. I feel as though I'm going through hell ! I wish they gave a shot instead of these nasty pills. They taste like I'm licking a sidewalk of chalk and you should just put the pill down your throat while taking . | F | 18 | 7 days 500 | 11/3/2015 | 3 | Dental infection | Horrendous drug and side effects. I feel exhausted, achy, irritable, depressed and like I have flu! I completed the course but the last two days I've spent in bed, never felt so poorly with an antibiotic!

Irratibility and mild depressive emotions, lethargy, dizzy foggy headaches,loose stools, no appetite change in taste buds. | After speaking to a chemist and my nurse practitioner who urged me to continue with the medication! I tried a further few doses I decided to ditch them. I have never felt so poorly and my throat is still painful! It completely messed me up! | F | 63 | 5 days 400 X 3 | 10/29/2015 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | Depression,crying spells, depersonalization, spaced out, no appetite,vertigo,spaced out, lethargic | This antibiotic has literally messed up my life. Had been given this poison a number of times from gyno and each time I would get irritated angry, then last time got worse followed up with vertigo, severe depression, crying spells, messed up my serotonin levels. Now each month since all side effects come back before getting my period. I have always been happy person prior to this poison. It has been 7 months and just to worn others I tried to avoid antidepressant route and was given a b12 shot for being little low on b12 since that's all they could find in bloodwork, and now have had insomnia since, previously slept 8-10 hrs. B vitamins can clear your head little but can cause worsened issues in large dose. I thought it could have fixed the issue now I'm suffering more. Please contact me if you like. It is hard living this nightmare especially when drs that hand out these meds like candy and don't know the repercussions. | F | 38 | 3 days 500 1X day | 10/27/2015 | 1 | for bacterial vaginosis | I have bv and was put on this medicibe 500 mg 2 times a day and by day 3 I woke up to brain fog sensitivity to light helped the Smell but had to stop and severe constipationI usually tolerate antibiotics well calling the Dr on Monday | F | 37 | 2 days 500 mg | 10/24/2015 | 1 | diverticulisis | Temporary total paralysis of both legs and arms, slurry speech, metallic taste | After 7 days of taking medicine, I began to feel as if I were having a stroke because my speech became slurry and suddenly both my legs became limp and I could no longer remain standing.
