 4  D. Fragilis Parasite No side effects experienced. Was very concerned about side effects, as I had previously reacted badly to antibiotics and I was warned that I would feel terrible taking metronidazole. I made sure to get lots of sleep and was on a healthy paleo diet (cutting out grains which in my case fed the parasite) and didn't feel any adverse effects. Make sure to repopulate the gut with good bacteria afterwards (heavy duty probiotics or 24 hour homemade live yoghurts as the supermarket drinks aren't robust enough), as it'll wipe out everything.

 1  bv nausea, metallic taste in mouth, insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, excess saliva, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation Would absolutely never take this medication again. Did clear up original symptoms but side effects were far worse than any symptom I started with. I did not drink while on the medication, took it as directed, used probiotics during it, and still found it unbearable. F 23 7 days

 1  tooth extracted then infection Was prescribed 400mg 3xday following infection following tooth extraction. Im 5ft2 weighing 9 half stone. Not sure if this dose way too much but two days in started with a rash on my feet. Woke up covered in itcgy rash. Stiff neck. Headache slurring and stuttering my words unable to get words out and feeling like I was loosing the plot and confused. Generally felt very unwell. Went hospital where had my bloods ecg ct scan which all came back normal. They wanted to keep me overnight but I was not in my normal frame of mind and took myself home. Silly I know but now resting at home. Head still strange but stopped tablets and will never take again. Im wondering if I have developed enchetholapthy even though the ct scan came back ok? Any opinions please? Will never touch this drug again and professionals should not give it out so easily. F 34 2 days

 1  BV Mood swings, nausea, headache, hot/cold flashes, dizziness, insomnia. I'm so glad I came across this and see I'm not the only one losing my mind on this. I'm 3 days into this antibiotic and am ready to crawl out of my skin. I suffer from moderate-severe depression and anxiety already, and this makes me feel like I did before I started Wellbutrin and Valium. I see my doctor tomorrow, so will insist on a different medication. I am hoping only 5 pills won't have the long term effects as others have stated. F 26 10 days

 1  Post HALO procedure Anxiety, depression, stomach pains, racing thoughts, insomnia, shortness of breath, general weakness, fuzzy tongue, unpleasant taste in mouth. I was in good health prior to my procedure and was prescribed this medication to prevent infection.On my first two nights post procedure I was unable to sleep. My thoughts were racing and I seemed to have an irrational fear of falling asleep and would jerk awake if I began to drift off. I felt as though I was going mad. This may have been heightened by the after effects of a general anaesthetic. However, since then I have had extreme waves of depression and tearfulness for no apparent reason and at times have felt suicidal. I have had bouts of anxiety and depression in the past caused by work related stress and this feels like when my symptoms were at their absolute worst. I am extremely slight weighing 87 lbs and am 5' 1/2". I am taking this medication 3 times a day and wonder if any consideration is given to the size of the patient when prescribing the dose.Today is my last day and my goal is just to reach the end of this medication. F 49 5 days

 1  bacterial infection Monday evening, after first half of pill, was dizzy, lightheaded, and much more anxious than usual. tuesday, dizzy, nauseated, fatigued, extremely panicked, & kept having to "shake off" feeling of blacking out. I discontinued medicine. same on wednesday/thursday. Thursday night, two separate episodes where left side of face & head alternated between cold/ hot sensations, tingled like something with an electric charge, & went numb completely. left eye lost all visual acuity. very confused, lethargic, dizzy, and unable to talk barely more than a whisper. severe panic, an almost hysteria, along with very threatening feeling that I was going to die. couldnt drive myself to hospital, & had terrible night. Friday morning, went to ER. treated as possible stroke. told there was no blockages in brain that they could see. After being discharged, rest of friday was spent with still severe panic, dizziness, black out feelings, numbness, tingling After finding many negative case studies, this review site, and other sites, with horror stories about this particular medicine, it is toxic and should not be allowed to be prescribed to dogs, let along humans. It was one of the top five terrible things that ever happened to me. I didnt think I was going to survive. And it was given for not a very serious reason. F 37 2 days
