| 1 | bacterial infection | Metalic taste after taking, dizzy, confused, muscle cramping, feeling depressed, very bad shakes, back pain, and spaced out like I'm not sure what's going on. I hate these pills. | F | 20 | 2 days | 1/28/2012 | 1 | BV | Horrible acid taste in mouth, depression, dark urine, loss of sexual desire, irritable, insomnia and head ache! It did clear the infection within 2 days of taking the antibiotic but the side effects where worse then the Bv its self I would have rather used the vaginal jelly instead on my last 2 pills as over today | F | 20 | 7 days 500mg | 1/25/2012 | 1 | swelling in gum | I experienced sore head and tightness of neck initially. After a few days started to feel depressed and anxious which is unlike me. Glad I have read this site. Stopped the meds 2 days ago still have the emotionsl/psychological effects. Can anyone please tell me how long these take to clear? Either professional or personal experience opinion would b appreciated. Horrible drug! | M | 31 | 4 days 200 | 1/21/2012 | 1 | tooth abscess | Within an hour of taking the first tablet I started to feel achey in my leg and arm muscles, a couple of hours after I started to get a migraine, felt dizzy, nauseous and started sweating a lot. After sleeping for 16 hours, still had a slight headache. Took the next tablet later that day and had no noticeable side-effects, only slight sweating. Finished the course, though it didn't do anything to clear up the abscess and felt fine. A few days later started to get anxious thoughts about dying. a week after finishing the course these thoughts still keep coming. I get thoughts that my heart is failing and that i'll die when I go to sleep. They seem completely rational thoughts, and even though I know in reality they are false, they seem so real. I'm hoping these feelings will subside very soon. | I will refuse to take these again if prescribed. They did nothing for what I was taking them for, and the side effects have been too horrible to go through again. | M | 33 | 6 days 400mg 3X day | 1/19/2012 | 1 | Pilonidal Cyst | Horrible headaches, dizziness, extreme thirst, cottonmouth, metallic taste, darkened urine, extreme fatigue, stabbing abdominal pain, cloudy thinking, nightmares, elevated heart rate, tremors...felt like I was going to pass out. | I have never EVER taken a medication this awful in my life. The worst part is the doctor that prescribed it never even warned me of the side effects! Just nonchalantly said she was putting me on 2 antibiotics. There were several times I thought I was going to pass out at my desk at work. I was drinking over 2 gallons of water a day. I would just come home from work and go to bed. I'm adamant about taking medications for the prescribed length of time but I just couldn't do this one anymore. I've never felt impending doom the way I did on this drug. | F | 26 | 10 days 500 MG 3X day | 1/15/2012 | 5 | Infection after Dental extraction | worked fantastic for me took amoxicillin for a week before them and had no effect on infection was in terrible pain but after 2days on these the infection started to clear.

I also drink a small glass of milk to help the nasty taste that lingers even after taking the bill. | F | 26 | 7 days 500 2X day | 1/7/2012 | 2 | Periodontitis | Severe migraines, constipation, nausea, severe drowsiness, disorientation, stiff neck, heavy head, tingling in arms and legs and unable to think properly or remember what I am trying to say. | F | 27 | 7 days 20mg | 1/7/2012 | 2 | Bacterial Infection | Extreme nausea, nasty taste in mouth and headaches. | I am also pregnant so maybe that has to do with it but this stuff makes me VERY sick and I'm dread even taking it now because I know about 30 minutes prior I'll vomit and have very bad stomach aches. | F | 16 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 1/3/2012 | 1 | surgery infected cyst removal | METRONIDAZOLE surgery infected cyst removal allergic reaction to medicine jaundice and rash on top centre forehead brown streak down centre of tongue extreme tiredness on Iv drip pre and post operation, when put on oral version within about 48 hrs of taking pills then pancreatitis and sudden fatigue had to lie down on kitchen floor when tried to rise 15 minutes later could only sit down and walk around on knees so some leg paralysis; after 30 minutes of this situation and managing to eat some food and drink by walking round kitchen on knees then fire alarm went off which gave me shot of adrenaline could then stand up….. stopped taking it would never take it again….. | my brother said also caused him paralysis when given to him abroad , no hesitation ban this monster drug it also causes serrotonin effects not given on leaflst warnings so they are hiding some side effects that are longer term damage | M | 59 | 4 days 500 3X day | 1/3/2012 | 3 | Root Canal Infection | Slight Sick to Stomach Feeling, Better Taken With Food Shakey and Tense Feeling, Slight Confused Feeling, Sometimes Feel Breathless and Hyperactive When Dosage is Taken Till it Wears Off Some . | I Can Deal With The Side Effects as Long as it is Getting Rid of The Tooth Infection.

I had it for 2 weeks before taking. I had only the 2 minor side effects listed and coated the pill with peanut butter to disguise the taste of it. Worked pretty well, but did wake up in mornings with a little bad taste in mouth. It totally got rid of the BV as well! | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/22/2011 | 1 | Heliobacter Pylori | Agonizing stomach pains, painful bloating, increased urination, stabbing pains in my back, psychosis | Was terrified that there was somebody at my desk in the middle of the night frantically writing. Heard strange noises at windows and doors. Psychosis got worse at night. Thought my stomach wall had burst the pain was that bad. I wasn't in too much pain with H. Pylori nightly indigestion but this is ridiculous. I doubled over in pain with agonizing muscle spasms along my back and stomach. Had to get a friend to help me walk to the kitchen.
