 1  Suspected Bacterial vaginosis Whilst taking tablets I had bad nausea. Towards the end of the course I had severe diarrhoea for 3 days. After the course finished I had a numb leg for 1 day which then turned into severe joint pain in 1 leg and very sore shin on the other leg the next day. I could barely walk. Bending my knees or independently lifting the leg to walk was impossible. I will never, ever take this drug again, Shocking side effects and it didn't even fully clear up the infection. F 47 7 days

 2  BV I like to think I have an average range of sanity normally. Taking this started with wild dreams and fitful sleep. 2nd night paranoia and hallucinations that something was lyrking outside, trying to break into my house. I felt completely delusion +3 hours to +7 hours, then cooled down. Still groggy. Side effects seem to be dose dependent from reports and I want to fully treat the infection so I am going to try a smaller dose - long before bedtime. F 26 5 days

 2  BV Depression, irritability, extreme fatigue and increased appetite. I was first on this med 6 weeks ago and I was diagnosed with IBS the first week after finishing. My BV is back now and I'm on day 2. Immediately after taking the first dose I became emotional and fatigued. I hope this BV clears up for good this time. I never want to have to take this med ever again the side effects are extreme. F 37 7 days

 1  BV Severe headache that seemed to change location constantly, Neck and back pain, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, and anxiety I made it through 4 days of this medication before I realized it was the culprit behind my increasingly bothersome symptoms. It started as what felt like a sinus headache for a couple of nights and then quickly turned into constant headaches and confusion. I could barely stay awake and felt like I was in a constant fog. I can't imagine why more people are not warned of these side effects. Like others, I was only told about the alcohol interaction. I am stopping this medication immediately and will NEVER take it again. Hopefully my head will feel normal again soon. F 31 7 days

 1  anerobic intestinal infection Depression, anxiety, severe dizziness and inbalance, insominia, loss of appetite, irritability, blurred vision. Was prescribed the drug for anerobic infection after major abdominal surgery. Abdomen was reopened and infection found. Samples were taken and grown in the lab. Flagyl was prescribed orally, 250 mgs. four times a day for 17 days, as well as doxycycline. Never experienced side effects like this from any other drug. Depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, extreme dizziness and imbalance, blurry vision, slurred speech. Have been off it for four weeks now and still experiencing some side effects. Get very nervous and anxious from time to time. Dizziness is gone and appetite seems to be coming back. Still not sleeping well. Vision not 100% yet. Tried two sips of wine and got sick to my stomach, dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out. Feel itchy and get prickly feeling in my arms, legs and back. My infection did clear up. My biggest nightmare is ever taking this drug again!! F 73 17 days

 1  Diverticulitis (infection in colon) Extremely BAD BAD experience! I have been taking this 3x per day concurrently with Cipro 2x per day. After 3 days I became sleep around the clock, to the point where I felt like I was going to pass out. I have been off balance as well. As of day 5 this drug has been affecting my mental state. It has caused very high anxiety, feeling shaky inside, a bit like losing my mind. Really scary. I have 2 Metro tablets left to take today and 1 Cipro left. I wish I didn't have to take them, but doctor said I have to complete all the pills to ensure the infection won't return. I saw doctor yesterday and told him all this. He took it very lightly, saying yes, Metro (not Cipro) can cause drowsiness. That's all he said, like no big deal. Yet going through this is hell. As other have said in these posts, the RX did seem to get rid of the infection. But what a huge price to pay for that! I've never had this reaction to an antibiotic before. While it fixes one problem, it causes several others--li ...One pharmacist said the drug may make one a bit drowsy. The other said the drug would NOT do these things and I must have some other problem! Comments anyone? M 60 6 days

 2  BV I got prescribed with this antibiotic for BV and it's been hell ever since I have started taking it. I was on it for 4 days but stopped because I started getting a rash. Around day 2 of being off of it. I started getting an odorless brown discharge. And my stomach has been really upset. And I am still getting the pins and needles feeling. I do not recommend this pill to anyone. It has made me feel awful. And I have never felt so worried for my health. Although it has cleared up my problem, The side effects are horrible. This medication is scary. F 23 4 days
