 5  Gardiasis Headache, metallic taste in my mouth---that's it. Caught Giardia from my sweet puppy. This is the quickest and most effective way to cure Giardia >10% better cure rate than Flagyl (Metronidazole). Took 4 x 500 mg pills at one time and even drank a Killian's beer with my dinner. Feel great, wouldn't push it with the alcohol, but the one beer didn't kill me. This stuff was only a $25 copay vs. compared to the $10 generic Flagyl would have been and 9 days LESS treatment! LUV IT! F 34 1 days

 3  B.V. metallic taste, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite persisting weeks later Is anyone else experiencing persistent loss of appetite? It's been over two weeks, and I still can't eat normally. I did not have any alcohol as per indicated, but I might have had some a few days before and more than 3 days after. I was more sick after taking it than I was during. I may have had a glass of wine 4 days or so after that caused horrible diarrhea that was like food poisoning. I have IBS anyway, and I'm not having bad diarrhea now, but my IBS symptoms are way worse than normal, as is my GERD. My stomach feels like it's on fire (which isn't unusual, but it doesn't feel the same as my normal GERD/ulcer problems), and the rare occasions when I do feel like eating, I quickly stop being interested. I can't think of what else it would be besides the Tindamax, but so much time has passed. I don't drink much, but the occasional glass of wine does seem to make this worse, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the Tindamax. When I told my doctor about being sick she was like ohhhh the NP gave you that? That's what they give alcoholics to force them to stop drinking. But she didn't seem that interested in how long these effects were lasting. She just said "could be." My losing a couple of pounds has been a plus, but it really needs to stop and I don't know what to do! F 30 3 days
2 pills 2X day

 3  BV metallic taste, fatigue, chest pains, can not sleep after going to bed, seems like chest pains get worse. Body aches, just overall blah feeling Only had to take one dose of four pills. Haven't felt well since. Was feeling good until taking tindamax. They prescribed it because I am allergic to Flagyl. Pharmacist was afraid for me to take it because it is in the same family as Flagyl. Dr's office said it was the only thing that I could take to cure my infection. Don't feel as bad as I did on Flagyl, but it is right up there with it. Don't know if it has cured the infection, but I know I feel worse than with the infection. F 51 1 days

 3  bacterial vaginsosis cured the bv right away, but at the sake of ruining my week. nausea, metal taste in my mouth, tingling in my arms and hands, depression (that sent me into a feeling of doom), diarrea, vomiting. you truly cannot consume alcohol for at least 3 days AFTER you stop taking. I drank on day two after stopping, and was violently ill. vomiting, diarrhea, and severe dehydration. F 28 5 days

 2  Chronic Lyme Disease High blood pressure, lack of appetite My daughter has had Lyme Disease for the last 10 yrs since the age of 15. This med was given in addition to IV antibiotic but it started raising her BP to 140/105. After stopping the med her BP is now back to normal 105/68. Another oral med is being used now due to my daughter fighting the Lyme Disease that has now entered her brain. F 25 2 weeks
750mg 2X day

 2  bacterial vaginosis About an hour after taking my first dose of 4 500 mg. pills, I started sweating, had a terrible metallic taste in my mouth and felt nausea. I had a half glass of wine 2 days prior to taking it so I don't know if that would cause this? I had asked for this instead of flagyl since I read about all the bad side effects of that med. It seems like this might not be much better. I now also read that tindamax only has a less than 40% cure rate for b.v. Hardly seems worth it! F 38 2 days

 2  intestinal amoeba (parasite) horrible nausea, vomiting, nightmares, tingling, anxiety and depression. had to take phenergan in order to hold this medicine down. i'm not sure yet if it helped my problem or not. finished taking it 3 days ago and i'm still having the side effects. i was already having nausea prior to taking this medicine, so the medicine made it much worse. was being treated for possible intestinal parasites, so it's possible this medicine was not necessary. bad side effects, though. similar to when i took flagyl (metronidzaole.) F 50 3 days
