 1  BV Suicidal thoughts, depression, lack of sex drive, headaches, anxiety, irritability. Prescribed one week dose, taken twice day. First dose was followed by headaches. Abdominal cramps. Thought I was premenstrual but no sign of blood. 3 days in started becoming extremely emotional. Crying for hours each night the rest of the week. Extremely anxious and irritable. After 6th day started having suicidal thoughts. Had no idea what was going on, felt like I was losing my mind. Pms? But no period. Seasonal depression? But never experienced something like. Finally realized the only thing I had changed in my lifestyle was taking these antibiotics, looked up side effects, and ended up on this website. Thank god I did because any more amount of time without knowing what was going on, I might have shot myself. This medication is extremely dangerous. Why the f*** wasn't I told about these symptoms?

So irritable and low in energy could hardly get through my normal workouts. stomach was always hurting. Felt nauseous, couldn't help burping a lot.

 1  Dental Abscess After 24 hours of taking this medication I felt like my head was in another place. Like it didn't belong to me. I could be talking and couldn't get the words out correctly. Shocking headache. Constant nausea. Had to force food down myself to take the tablets. I've never in my life felt so Ill from an antibiotic. Took the tablets for 3 days and returned to dentist who said stop. I won't be taking these again in a hurry. Pure evil ! F 42 5 days

 3  Chronic Lyme Disease I take this drug every weekend to combat Lyme (I take other antibiotics during the week days). On the weekends when I take this I am left feeling spaced out, extremely tired, don't want to leave my bed, feel as if I could sleep all day long. Also, the taste is horrible and is tough to swallow without gagging. I swallow pills all the time without issues. This pill always gives me an issue due to the size and taste. I can't wait until i finish this medication. F 24 6 months

 1  Vaginal bacteria I took this drug before bed and could not sleep because of the itchiness and when I would get up to walk to the bathroom I felt unbalanced. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. Unless you want to lose weight because you are not hungry at all and basically overall feeling of crap! F 24 7 days

 3  dental infection Constant headache. Aching muscles and joints. Stiff neck. Bloated stomach. Back pain. Tummy pain. Extreme tiredness. Inability to focus on anything mentally. Eyesight blurry. Shivers then sweats. Itchy skin. This was the second antibiotic I was prescribed, after Amoxycilin failed to heal the infection after a tooth extraction. I was in such pain from the infection that I was happy to try anything. However, have had an awful 5 days, not leaving the house or having the energy to do ANYTHING. Took my last dose yesterday and am still waiting to lose the multitude of side effects. I think my infection may have gone now, but still have a tingling in gum. Have had 4 days off work so far - NEVER taking these again. F 49 5 days
