 1  Bv This is the worst antibiotic I've ever encountered!! My symptoms included a fever, night sweats, aching body, no energy, stomach cramps, headaches, crying and generally feeling like I was genuinely dieing I rang the doctor n he said its a one in a million chance n made me feel like I was going mad and lieing, so after day four of taking the evil tablets I decided to stop immediately even though you shouldn't I had no other choice it was that bad!!!! Doctors don't understand the serious effects this drug causes. F 28 7 days

 3  Tooth Abscess After three tablets - am due fourth soon - I've had a few 'windy' low stomach cramps, and I feel tired and lethargic, appetite is coming and going and I have a bit of nausea. I'm armed with my anti-emetics, Buscopan (I take them anyway) and Loperamide and hoping to get through this course as the dentist was pretty worried by the amount of swelling I had. It has gone down a lot already. I'm worried after reading a lot of these comments though, as more side effects could develop. I also have a couple of blotches on my arm which were itchy at first and I'm hoping I'm not going to get a nasty rash, or even hives!! But it's take this or let the swelling go to my neck or my brain! What a choice! I'm closely monitoring things! Especially this potential rash. F 39 7 days

 3  BV Although I am generally sensitive to medications, I've yet to experience side effects like I have with METRONIDAZOLE. Strangely, I've taken it before with little side effects. I guess our bodies change and therefore, what we can tolerate does as well. Anyways, I've experienced depression soo severe that I have withdrawn from friends and work. After taking my pill in the mornings, I am almost too sleepy to do anything. I am in a very dark place. My BV is cleared up and I finished my last pill tonight. Next time I will ask for the gel, because I NEVER want to feel this way again. F 36 7 days

 1  Suspected infection On the 2nd night I had the worst nausea I've ever had followed by extreme dizziness. My heart went over 100 bmp & it was irregular. (I don't drink.). My jugular was twitching violently. I had weird dreams & panic attacks all night. Extreme nausea all day Friday. After my 2nd dose, I started throwing up. Then I got a rash, then severe agitation – that was the worst symptom. I was pacing round the house, terrified. More heart problems. The next morning I had extreme nausea & vomiting followed by the worst agitation ever. By about 2pm the nausea started to pass & I felt calm. Then I was profoundly exhausted & slept a few hours. Then I had really blurred vision for a few hours. The vile taste in my mouth was the mildest of the symptoms. I'm okay now. BLEUGH. Poison. Nothing would induce me to take this drug again. It turned out that I didn't have an infection anyway! F 48 3 days

 4  infected gum/wisdom tooth After a week of agony my dentist prescribed 200mg 3 times a daily and by the 2nd day my gum was at least 80% better. I would def take this again as it seems fast acting and the only side effects i have experienced is sweating but it has also been 30 degrees for most of the week so it wasnt such a problem!
