| 1 | c diff | Extreme tiredness, loss of appetite, food tasted awful, swollen knee with severe pain. Rash that was redish and purplish above elbow. Rash itched and head itched like I had fleas. Luckily my daughter realized these were side effects and pointed this out to the doctor who finally stopped the poisonous drug. | Horrible drug. Unfortunately doctors don't know the side effects and are too willing to add another drug to counter the side effects of a drug instead of thinking outside the box. Doctors are nothing more than drug pushers anymore. Very sad. | M | 90 | 5 days 1X day | 6/21/2016 | 1 | diverticulitus | HORRIBLE WORSE THAN PROBLEM DR won't give me anything else I tried 3 times to get it changed I don't think they know what they are doing scary | F | 69 | 10 days 500 3X day | 6/18/2016 | 1 | Vaginal issue | Sharp metalic taste, sore fuzzy tongue, dry mouth, sore throat, fever ,stuffy and running nose, panic attacks, depression, fatigue, nausea. Stopped talking for more than one week, still have the symptoms | POISON. .... | F | 52 | 7 days 1000 | 6/13/2016 | 1 | Bacterial vaginitis | Lower back pain, stiff back, pain moved around my thighs, stomach cramps, loss of appitite, confusion, depression, skin rash/hives. | Was prescribed 500mg twice a day for 7 days. Was not even on it for 24 hrs, woke up with extremely sore back and ate two strawberries all day. Discarded immidietly. side effects came on fast. Lower back pain had not gone away completely. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG IF YOU HAVE NOT TOOK IT BEFORE AND DO NOT KNOW IF YOU WILL EXPREICE THESE "SEVERE" SIDE EFFECTS. I had these side effects before I read them and knew about them so it was not in my head. My side effects say to contact doctor right away. Turns out I did not even need it because the nurse mixed up my test results and had no baterial infection. Again, DO NOT TAKE. | F | 27 | 1 days 500mg | 6/8/2016 | 1 | Stomach ulcer | Dizziness, confusion,tingling hands and feet, insomnia, chest pain, hives, night sweats, headaches, increased urine, increased bowel movements 3 per day. Metallic taste in mouth.- Don't take this drug without obtaining more information. | Sever stomach pain after 5 day, pushed through to 7 days from doctores advice. Has been 2 months since finished and symptoms are increasing. I was extremely fit and healthy prior to this this. This drug will change your life. Weight before taking Flagyl 82kg now 75, due to no appetite and metallic taste. If anyone has got through this I would like to know. | M | 49 | 1 days 500 | 6/7/2016 | 1 | Bacterial GI infection | Stomach cramping metallic taste in mouth severe depression constipation | 11 days after stopping this drug I still have metallic taste, stomach cramping constipation Why is this drug still administered ???! | F | 66 | 7 days 30 mg | 6/6/2016 | 1 | SIBO | Metallic Taste, severe headaches/migraines, nausea, dry/sore mouth, flu like symptoms, back/spine pain and other joint pain(knees/hips), fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, anxiety and severe mood swings and tingling in feet/hands. | Do not take this antibiotic - the doctors will tell you that it is OK to use and then when you tell them about the side effects they just dismiss it. Push for another type or try homeopathic solutions even if it takes longer or you may be dealing with symptoms that are irreversible! | F | 14 | 21 days 30 Mg 1X day | 6/5/2016 | 1 | Giardia | DO NOT TAKE THIS HORRIBLE MEDICATION!! This is a living nightmare!! I am having severe side effects from taking this medication. I literally thought I was losing my mind. I have severe headaches, nausea & vomiting, dizziness & lightheadedness, uncontrolled jerking of all my muscles, slurred &a uncontrolled speech, anxiety, horrible metallic taste in my mouth, can not drive at all as I feel unsafe, and all the Dr has done is bow me off. I have contacted two other Dr's & no one will help as they were not the prescribing physician. These side effects continue 2weeks after stopping this drug,B& I am terrified it has done permanent damage. I am going to the ER tomorrow &I will be contacting an attorney. I am fed up with the health care system!! | F | 58 | 9 days 500mg | 6/4/2016 | 1 | Inflamed Gall Bladder | Headache, constipation, sleeplessness, upper back pain, metallic taste, eye pain. | I have to stop taking this. The side effects are worse than what I'm being treated for. My back pain is getting worse with every pill taken (and it's only been five). Sweet Lord this stuff is vile. | F | 51 | 3 days 500 mg | 6/1/2016 | 1 | Bv | Numbness / sensitive legs - almost burning sensation in feet also - worse at night - couldn't walk properly | I stopped this after being on for three days after waking up to my feet and legs really hurting and feeling like I couldn't walk. Went to the doctors that' day and complained of my legs , I was told was nothing and to still take the tablets , wasn't until I got home and decided to read the leaflet which states stop taking if get numbness in legs !!! Called doctors to which another doctor then said stop taking the tablets ! It has been 2 days since my last tablet and still just as bad pain in legs/ feet - also now having headaches and feeling sick - This is worst feeling in have ever had and I had a c section 5 months ago ! Would rather child birth then taking this posion | F | 26 | 7 days 400mg | 5/28/2016 | 1 | vaginitis | F | 60 | 7 days 200 mg 1X day | 5/27/2016 Patient History | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | First time taking and wow! I'll never take it again. Peripheral neuropathy which started from ciproflaxin a few years ago perked up, horrible taste in mouth FIVE DAYS AFTER I stopped taking it. Horrible stomach issues if you know what I mean. AND a tendon rupture in my foot when I was taking it!!! Stay away and ask for another medicine like clindamycin if needed for BV. | F | 29 | 5 days 2X day | 5/24/2016 | 3 | Diverticulitis | Horrible taste, metallic taste, flu like symptoms, dizzy, headache, increased heart rate, fatigue. Can feel my pulse and heartbeat in my head and ears from the strength of the heartbeat and faster pace, and much worse during exertion like exercise or just going upstairs. Very weird. These were bad while taking the medicine and persisted for weeks after finishing the medicine. | I have used Flagyl a number of times. During the first several times I remember taking it without side effects apart from the metallic taste. But after stopping the side effects were gone pretty quickly. However I have found with each subsequent prescription my reaction has been worse and the side effects have been worse and they have persisted much longer after stopping the medicine. So I am guessing this is kind of like an acquired allergy or intolerance over time. This past time was a 10-day dose and it was the absolute worst. I hope there is some other medicine that can take the place of Flagyl because I can't do this again. It knocked out my infection but has just about knocked me out too. | M | 54 | 10 days 4X day | 5/22/2016 | 1 | possible digestive infection | Lower back pain, shortness of breath, foggy feeling, extreme anxiety, felt like coming out of my skin. Literally had thoughts of suicide. Waves of despair and paranoia. Horrible metallic taste in mouth. Insomnia. Haven't slept much in 4 days. Tingling hands. | Just Google Flagyl and Cipro lawsuits. There are firms dedicated to nothing but filing suit for people whose lives have been destroyed because of these drugs. I only took 7 pills of this poison and 7 pills of Cipro before stopping. I believe both drugs in concert have caused the severe side affects to double. No way of knowing which one is worse. I've read that both are equally as horrible on their own. Side affects are still present after 3 days of being off. It is bar none the worst most insidious chemical I have ever put into my body. The people who developed it, sell it and approved it belong in prison. How the FDA allowed this nightmare drug on the market is beyond belief. I thought they were supposed to protect us. | M | 59 | 4 times 500 4X day | 5/22/2016 Patient History | 1 | Ulcer in mouth | Awful fatigue, virtually slept whole time,dark urine,severe edema in legs and ankles,dizziness,depression,lack of balance,trembling fingers and hands virtually couldn't walk due to leg pain, ulcers got worse in mouth | Then GP put be on a 2nd course of flagyl without even seeing me | F | 46 | 2 weeks 500 | 5/20/2016 | 1 | Ulcer in mouth | Awful fatigue, virtually slept whole time,dark urine,severe edema in legs and ankles,dizziness,depression,lack of balance,trembling fingers and hands virtually couldn't walk due to leg pain, ulcers got worse in mouth | Then GP put be on a 2nd course of flagyl without even seeing me | F | 46 | 2 weeks 500 | 5/20/2016 | 3 | C Diff | Horrible taste in mouth. Terrible, relentless headaches. Tired! I lost my entire colon to C Diff in August and almost died. Two weeks ago I developed severe cramping in my abdomen. I was admitted to the hospital and they found that I had C Diff again! This drug has stopped the ramping, but the headaches are really bad. I would have rather had vancomycin. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 2X day | 5/10/2016 | 1 | BV possible cdiff | Chest pains increased hr musckosketial pain decreased respiration | Hospital prescribed it and now they aren't trying to fix there mistake going to use this as proof in my lawsuit | F | 21 | 2 days 500 | 4/14/2016 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Severe anxiety attacks, bad metallic taste in mouth. | Horrible! Only took three doses because the anxiety attacks made me feel like I was coming out of my skin. Lasted nearly 48 hrs after my last dose. Was trying to discuss side effects with pharmacist while having an attack. She felt so sorry for me. Never, ever taking this again. | F | 53 | 2 days | 4/13/2016 | 1 | Diverticulitis | EXTREME nausea, lower back pain, depression, Horrible taste in Mouth, fatigue, all around sick | Worst drug ever. I was in the hospital for 4 days on this IV form then sent home with three days pill. Called doctor and had to stop. They perscribed me with something else thank god but still have weekness in legs and cramps. I also have depression still and am forgetting everything. I don't recommend this to anyone. WARNING DONT TAKE | M | 35 | 7 days | 4/6/2016 |
