FLAGYL  (METRONIDAZOLE):  Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of infections. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria and parasites. This antibiotic treats only certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Metronidazole may also be used with other medications to treat certain stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by a bacteria (H. pylori).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Ear infection I did a review three months ago when I took these. I have never experienced side effects on the scale of these. Mentally I was convinced I was being poisoned. I stopped eating,took food back to shops,rang my daughters to come and test my food and completely lost my appetite. I lost 5 kilos which I have never regained. I was depressed,nervy, scared of everything,totally miserable. I was exhausted, my tongue was disgusting it had a thick white coating which made me feel sick.So scared of them was I that I didn't try any alcohol for two weeks after the last one. Three months on I still haven't regained my appetite or enjoy food. On occasions that I went to my surgery I was told that I shouldn't have persevered with them. A bit late now!! Avoid if you have any alternative whatsoever!! 77 7 days

 1  Bacterial vaginosis Nausea, foggy headed, burning vagina, burning nerve pain on front of thighs and buttocks, general unwell feeling, metallic taste, vibrations in feet Took 7 days then had another round because it didn’t cure my bv. I stopped taking on the 4th day. Terrible feeling. I have taken this multiple times in the last 4 years and never associated the burning legs to this. The burning lasts about 2 months after I finish the meds. F 57 12 days

 1  Colitis About 3 hours after taking 1 pill, I felt tired and fell asleep just as I was about to leave my house to run some errands. I slept for almost 2 hours and woke up to a bad headache. This lasted through the night, intensifying by the hour. I also developed a stiff neck. And I had nightmares that were scary and vivid, coupled with hallucinations whenever I would surface from the dreams. It is morning as I write this, and the headache and sore/stiff neck continue, along with ringing in my ears, tightness in my chest and throat. Please be careful with this drug. F 45 1 days

 2  Colitis I feel like an absolute nut. I have never been diagnosed with anxiety or depression but let me tell you, i feel like im losing my mind. i have found myself lost in my head and having a short fuss with every person and every situation in the last 6 days. I currently have one more day (3 more tabs) and can put this behind me. I thought i was strong willed but apparently this took me down. Avoid taking this if possible!!!! M 22 7 days

 1  BV Everything plus more and more prominent on days 3-5-7. Essentially if you are having even mild confusion, vivid dreams, nightmares or mood swings it is destroying your precious neurotransmittors in your brain. If you are having this plus lethargy, jerking muscles or limbs heavy legs or twitching hands, muscle weakness, tingling or numbness, swelling of any body limb, sudden muscle loss, or other weird physical sensations then it is causing swelling in the brain by severe metabolic disruption. If you are having neurological problems : dizziness, headache, stiff neck, blurry vision, hallucinations, or aggressive behaviour or "altered mental status" then you could have lesions in the brain from Flagyl. This is poison. Please stop right away and ask your doctor to switch you to something else if you are having any of these side effects, even just one ! They said to continue when I complained of the side effects and stupidly believed them. I am dying now as a result of this poison. F 34 7 days

 1  c diff I felt very weak and tired and had headaches and stomach pain. Just made you feel plain awful. I have been off this antibiotic for over a week now but continue to get bad stomach pains, worse than when I was on it, and pain that I had before in my head, that has gotten really bad too. Has anyone had trouble after getting off this medicine?? The drug did work, my c diff is gone, but I have these awful side effects lingering. My husband also is off the flagyl but continues to feel off balance. Anyone know how long this could last?? F 76 10 days

 1  Bacterial vaginosis Extemely irritable, nauseous , Slight headache ,increased anxiety , white tongue (felt furry).... (side effects afterwards) jaw pain Take these facts into consideration.. I'm 8 mos pregnant, so everything pregnancy related intensified except for the nausea I haven't been nauseous this time around ... I have to take iron due to low platelet count so I am irritable from that as well... The side effects of this medication were terrible I really wanted to get rid of this bv before I give birth so I finished the medicine ... I was so irritated and got upset easily and the anxiety I got from taking this antibiotic only made me more irritated ..I would have to scrub the white off my tongue because it was nasty and my tongue bled... I have finished the medicine and the day I finished I've been having this unexplained jaw pain that is getting increasingly worse ... starting to think I should have tooken probiotics w this too I don't know if it cleared up my little issue or not.. I'll come back and update once I figure this jaw pain out F 18 6 days

 1  BV On day 2 of a 7 day course. Insomnia, spacy, depressed, achy, stomach uneasy, general feeling of wanting to give up and die. If you are over 50 yrs old or under 120 pounds, ask your Dr. about reducing the dose, which is based on a young male person with a vigorous metabolism who weighs 160 or more. Cutting the pill down to 2/3 size helped me. Two things help if you are stuck taking this wretched drug. 1. Probiotic containing saccharomyces boulardii (Walgreens has one, Walmart, Florastor is one. Expensive but worth it, this will save your gut and prevent a lot of diarrhea and nausea); 2. NAC (N-acetyl cysteine)--this is a supplement that helps your body metabolize and clear the drug.
