 1  BV Constant and EXTREAME Nausea, Felt like throwing up every hour, intense flue like symptoms, loose stool, spaced out, disoriented, night chills, anxiety, night sweats, dizzy, unbalanced, loss of appetite, food would turn me off, gagged many times, lack of concentration, overall feeling VERY ILL, erratic mood swings, constant stomach ache, ache all over body, gas, stomach grumbling, headache, thrush developed on mouth, white furry tongue, metallic taste in mouth, smelly metallic urine, black stool and it threw my mentsral cycle out of whack! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! I missed one week of work and stopped taking the medication on the 6th day. I felt like I was dying and I'm usually a healthy person. I'm usually not reactive to antibodies either,but this was the first time and horrific!!! I had to get another medication to treat the Thrush. Ruined my Christmas and New Years. I got this perspired from a walk in clinic doctor who didn't know anything about my medical history. I couldn't see my family Doctor because he was out of town on a holiday trip. SUGGESTION: If you're going to take this medication, please consult it with a Doctor that KNOWS your medical history. This felt like poison but lesson learned. WILL NEVER take this again even though it cured my problem. The side affects are deadly. If it bounces back because I stopped, oh well - I'll have to try another method. And no, did NOT take any alcohol with this and ate accordingly but nothing helped. You end up feeling worse day by day. F 31 7 days

 3  Trich Darker urine color; temporary tingle in feet; temporary heaviness in arms Took the 2000 mg dosage per doctor's orders with a full glass of water. Was fine the first day. Second day, had temporary heaviness in arms and tingle in feet that would come and go. Made a call to the doctor and was told to give it some time as that was a side effect of the medicine. I'm fine now but at the time it was slightly disconcerting. Did, however, clear the infection. Would I take it again? Not unless I had to. F 23 1 days

After Day 2 I experienced pain in my lower back and kidneys , diorreah, , headaches and was concerned by this as I felt I wasn't myself. I contacted my gp who advised me to continue with the medication butto reduce tje dose from 3 tabelets to 2 per day. On day 4 I started to drink plenty of boiled water and have found for the last 2 days I have had no side effect at all.. I would advise anyone taking this medicine to read the leaflet carefully and follow the instructions. M 78 7 days

 1  BV anxiety, severe mood swings/depression, terrible taste in mouth, stomach cramps/diarrhea, feeling spaced out, sweaty, dizzy. I am SO relieved that I found this site. I started taking metronidazole four days ago and was experiencing these side effects right away. I phoned the chemist and they said that these are not side effects of the medicine, which made me even more anxious! These side effects definitely need to be listed on the "possible side effects". I am over half way through so I am going to finish but would never take again. F 7 days

 4  Gum infection (trench mouth) I felt a little more tired than usual, tad run down...but that could also be attributed to not going to the gym and the infection in my mouth. This medication cleared up my gum infection pretty fast...the run down feeling was a small trade off for bleeding sore gums. I would recommend for anyone who has a gum infection. 38 7 days

 1  PID I have experienced severe panic attacks, shaking, back pain, nausea and generally feeling awful. I had to go to the hospital and I have now been taken off it as it has so many side effects.
