I have GERD, and it is coming back with a vengeance.Etcetera, etcetera!!!!! I only took 3(one last night, and two today). Called the dentist twice(I may have the flu, possible side effects from Hydrocodone without taking food with it. I did take this antibiotic with food. Thank you for this website; it certainly helped me to understand that I was not having a heart attack, and that there were so many others like me. The awful symptoms I mentioned above, keep on happening as I am typing this. Eventhough I know now that all these horrible symptoms are side effects, I still get a feeling of doom. | F | 67 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 2/18/2011 | 1 | BV | Dark urine, abdominal pain, lower pelvic pain, lower back pain, increased urination, extreme confusion, fogginess, no appetite, short-term memory loss, elevated liver labs, suicidal thoughts, moodiness, depression, heart racing, increased anxiety | I will NEVER take this drug again. Two years ago I was hospitalized for a week after taking this drug for 2 weeks for possible diverticulitis. I lost 25 pounds during the 3 week period. A week ago I was put on this med again. I have had horrible side effects, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, confusion, no appetite. I now believe the reason I was hospitalized two years ago was from this med. I am still foggy and out of it, two days after the last pill. I hope it goes away soon. | F | 42 | 7 days 10mg 2X day | 2/18/2011 | 5 | Clostridium difficile-induced colit | None at all. | Had to take METRONIDAZOLE for Clostridium difficile-induced colitis caused by taking Clindamycin for a tooth extraction. Clindamycin caused havoc in my digestive system. | F | 46 | 14 days 500 3X day | 2/17/2011 | 4 | BV | only side effect was just a bit of nausea..nothing too bad | The smell is completely gone by the next day. discharge is slowly goin this is 3rd day of when i used it | F | 25 | 1 days 500 4X day | 2/16/2011 | 1 | Persistent unexplained NSU | Having had this drug on 2 previous ocassions over several days to clear a possible unidentifiable urethral infetion, I visited the GUM clinic and consultant said he would give me a large dose - all to be taken with water in a single dose. I had to take 10 x 400mg tablets in one go. Iwas a little nervous about this. I asked about safety and was told it is tolerated at this dose by women with 'ertain conditions' and the main thing is I MUST NOT drink alcohol for at least 24 hours. I had headaches for a day or so and felt a bit woozy. 24 hours later my urine turned REALLY dark. No improvement in my condition. About 2 weeks later noticed weakness in both legs below knees. Random stabbing pains over tops of shins. This leg pain has now persisted for a month. The doc has said the drug would not cause any leg problems even at this dose and has put me on 2 weeks of other antibiotics as NSU still not clearing up. Ive searched all over interenet and not found anyone prescribed 4g in a single dos | M | 41 | 1 days 10 x 400mg 1X day | 2/16/2011 | 3 | Swollen Gum around wisdom tooth | Slight stomach cramps. But main side effect is the really horrid taste in my mouth. | F | 65 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 2/15/2011 | 1 | Vaginitis | F | 69 | 500 mg. 1X day | 2/14/2011 Patient History | 3 | c. diff, crytosporidium, Crohn's | Nausea, fatigue, lightheaded, dizzy, stomach cramps, metal taste | On day 3 the effects became a little more managable but by day 8 it was getting worse again. However, the meds did work while I was taking them. Dosage ended yesterday. Today I am jittery and anxious, feel uncomfortable in my own skin, muscles are tight. Feels like withdrawal symptoms. Calling the Doc to see if this is related to the metronidazole. I don't know what else it can be as this is the only thing I have recently taken or stopped. Also, the symptoms that put me on the metronidalzole are returning already. Has anyone else experienced withdrawal like symptoms after stopping this medication? | F | 30 | 14 days 500 3X day | 2/11/2011 | 1 | stomach problems | Severe depression and nausea! Loose bowels, overall fatigue. | Thank goodness I'm not the only one who is having a horrible time with this medication. Was beginning to think I was losing my mind! Am normally a very active senior citizen, but this medication has brought me to an abrupt halt! I'm hoping the infection (if in fact, I actually had one) has cleared, but it is a huge price to pay! The depression and nausea are the worst I've ever experienced. Have 3 more days left of the meds, and it can't be too soon! Was on Cipro before this, and it too, had side effects, so Dr. said to quit taking it. I'm sure he thinks I'm a hypochondriac as I seem to have bad side effects from most meds, but I've lived in this body for many years, and I know when it's far from normal! I won't ever take it again. | F | 66 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 2/10/2011 | 4 | VB | Slight nausea after taking, has been better since i take it after food with a pint of water | Last pill tomorrow and seems to have cleared the infection | F | 33 | 7 days 400 2X day | 2/9/2011 | 2 | BV | nausea, horrible taste in mouth | F | 21 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 2/8/2011 | 1 | Tooth abcess / gum infection | I have taken these antibiotics twice before for a tooth abcess and gum infection with no side effects. However, into my third day of taking this medicine for the third time, I suffered a severe allergic reaction to my lips, tongue and face as well as suffering from skin rashes. I went to A&E where I was given an intraveneous drip (steroids and antihistamine)straight away and eventually the swelling went down after at least 12 hours. Still keep getting allergic reactions two days after finishing the dose. I will not be taking this medicine ever again. | F | 34 | 5 days 400 3X day | 1/30/2011 | 2 | Diverticulitis | Bad taste in mouth, stomach pain,sleepy, in a fog. | Took Cipro first and Metronidazole.....caused bleeding from either Hemmoroids or Cipro the doctor said. I went into the hospital for four days. Now taking Metronidazole they say to make sure Diverticulitis doesn't come back. Also took 4 days in hospital, now another 12 days. | M | 68 | 12 days 500 mg. 3X day | 1/29/2011 | 1 | wisdom tooth gum swelling | been prescribed coz of the gum swelling due to wisdom tooth. which I think isnt a big problem and doc said that its only pain coz the tooth is growing. SO after reading comments decided NOT TO take the medicine! Not worth it ;) mite take peniciline from last prescription. This the drug shud be prescribed in extreme cases and not like 80% ( thats from NHS web site) cases | NOT Taking this shait after reading the comments. doing the old fashioned: leet the tooth do its job lol kids survive so can i lol | F | 24 | 5 days 5 days 200 3X day | 1/27/2011 | 4 | Tooth abcess | wind, loose stools, slight dizzyness on Day 6, lack of energy. | It's a hassle to make sure I take this med with food. Sometimes I am not hurry or too late or too early to eat anything. | F | 42 | 7 days 200mg 3X day | 1/24/2011 | 3 | tooth absess | tiredness, mood very low, may be due to tooth pain, tingling in hands and feet and itching around my mouth | never taken this before due to alergies, will carry on as it is helping with the pain | F | 30 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 1/18/2011 | 2 | stomach problems | dizziness, headache, blurriness, aching bones, | WHEN YOUR DOCTOR RECOMMENDS YOU TO TAKE THIS TABLETS, ASK FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS. BE CAREFUL! | F | 12 | 250 mg 2X day | 1/18/2011 | 5 | Bacterial bowel infection | Tiredness, occasional headaches, otherwise no bad effects. | This antibiotic cleared up my problem very well. I took a 7-day course 6 months previously, but the infection came back after several weeks. | M | 62 | 21 days 400mg 3X day | 1/17/2011 | 3 | BV | I think i was very lucky taking this drug, after everything i read i was extremely worried about taking these tablets-i was pescribed 5 tablets in one go-so i followed the instructions-and took them with a meal (i made it a large one thought the more food to digest with the better) then i follwed this with a pint of water!!! something did the trick as the only side effect i got was a dull headache the following day but nothing crazy!!! just hope the medication does the job xxx | F | 26 | 1 days 4X day | 1/15/2011 |
