 2  dental infection okay well here I am--- I'm on the 2nd day of the course - with 3 days to complete. I'm taking 250mg 4x per day. I have a horrendous headache, horrible empty feeling in my stomach, aching muscles, shooting pains all over my body and my temp is raised. My reaction to Metronidazole was just as bad... so I thought this one would be okay. I dont know what to do -- shoud I go back to my doctor and ask yet again for antoher antibiotic? Or should I stick this out. God, I feel so crappy. 48 2 days

 1  abcesss After and day and a half of taking 250g four times a day had terrible anxiety, palpatations. Felt like I'd drunk 2 and half litres of coffee. Headache and not thinking straigh. I'm waiting to see how lond these symptom take stop. Make sure you dentish has all your medical history before they perscribe your medication. I'll be much more careful in future. It appears that this drug has made alot of people unwell. I wonder if it's cheap to perscribe ? 1 days

 1  Tonsilitis Severe stomach cramps, back pain,lethargic, nausea Feel so ill, can't sleep as I am in so much pain in my abdomen. Also, I feel seriously hungry. I thought the pain was maybe because I hadn't eaten enough and my stomach was rebelling. However, after eating a half a loaf of hovis, I realised that this was not the case as I was still in pain and feeling hungry! I think the pain of the tonsilitis was better than this. Don't take it 21 1.5 days

 5  Throat & Chest Infection Stomach ache, diahorrea, sickness, headache, allergic reaction (swollen lip & eye) (took Piriton syrup which stopped this). Most of these side effects occurred within first 4 days, then tailed off. Yes, side effects horrible, but to me worth taking the full course as I was so ill, I wouldn't give up. It cured my infection in a week AND had the added bonus of clearing up my Rosacea. Result!! F 53 7 days
