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)

 3  Bacterial vaginosis severe nausea even when I take with food, but only after pm dose; feeling "weird" while driving (like my eyes feel kindof unfocused?); soft stool; hip, thigh, and butt cramping/pain; just broke out in hives on day 3 I have been taking Zofran for the nausea (was prescribed for the nausea related to my herpes symptoms), and it helps somewhat. I have a severe aversion to nausea and vomiting though, so I will probably call my doctor to switch meds just because of this side effect. Cramps/pain could be related to lying down for the past week due to being unable to walk because of the pain from the herpes. I've been on a medication that makes my urine not burn my lesions as well, which also turns my urine a bright orange color. The soft stool/almost diarrhea side effect has been a godsend because regular bowel movement cause me so much pain I cry and scream, but with this, they hardly hurt. F 17 7 days

 4  Bv Mouth tastes disgusting which makes me feel nauseated. Just started to get side pain and lower back pain but I am assuming that is from the constipation. Also, I got a yeast infection today. Exhaustion. I would definitely recommend it, works quick and I would rather suffer through this for a week than deal with BV. F 33 7 days

 4  BV Nauseous, tired, back & leg pain, dark urine, dry mouth, extreme fatigue. I've heard so many problems with this drug. I only have a few and on my third day using this. I don't know if I can make it through the rest. I'm in great pain & can't concentrate at work and I can't sleep. I feel like I might be going into depression. The drug is helping the infection very well but the side effects are unbearable. F 19 7 days

 1  Bacterial Infection Burnt the bladder walls Almost ended up with permanent Internal cystitis This drug is in the Sulfa category. Many doctors do not know this. Mine did not, cause they knew I had a very adverse reaction to Sulfa drugs. For example chemically induced hepatitis, which lasted months, from sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, Bactrim, Septra F 5 days

 3  Bacterial Vaginosis I felt dizzy, nauseous and very spaced out. It was hard to concentrate at work. My worst day was day 3, which I felt like I had to vomit all day long, in addition to a migraine that lasted my full work day. I was taking the pill twice daily for 7 days. My mouth was extremely dry despite the fact that I was drinking 2 to 3 litres of water daily. I did find that the side effects weren't as bad once I caught on to drinking 2-3 litres of water daily. It is also important to take the pills with food. I didn't think I would be able to survive the 7 days but after day 5 I decided to stick it through. Nasty side effect post treatment was bloody stool. My BV symptoms cleared and I'm hoping they never return as this is not a fun antibiotic to be on. F 30 7 days

 1  BV. Streptococcus type B. Severe dizziness, visual disturbances, bad vision, anxiety, fast heart rate, depression, total loss of appetite, lower abdominal pain, severe diarrhoea, bitter/metallic taste in mouth along with fuzzy and pale tongue and yellow-green saliva, muscle pain, headache, sense of being outside of my body, unsteadiness, poor memory, NAUSEA FROM HELL, rapid weightless, feeling of losing sensibility in body, arms and legs, couldn't even look at food as I was disgusted, oral thrush, white stripes inside the mouth and on tongue, disgusted by the smell of food. If I had known what this drug could do to you, I would NEVER ever have taken it. My doctor gave me Heracillin at the same time so it made me even more sick! This is POISON!!! I went to the ER almost everyday for 5 months after my last dose. And I'm STILL not well. I still have a bad taste in my mouth and yellow/greenish saliva, dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite and anxiety. It's been 7 months now since I stopped taking Falgyl, but I still suffer from its side effects. Because of this, I've lost my job and been on sick leave ever since June 2015!!! I've seen so many doctors and no one knows shit! They all say "I don't know what it is" and none of them even knew about the severe side effects of this medicine! I'm still suffering and crying and hating my life, because no one has been able to help me. I had to start taking antidepressants in order to get through this horrible time! But they are not helping, no matter the dose. If anyone has had the same problem as me or has any information about how to get rid of these side effects, please email me! I've tried everything - even the best probiotics but it doesn't help! So please, email me if you have good news for me. [email protected] F 32 7 days

 1  BV Horrible, debilitating side effects. After only one day of taking the recommended 500 mg 2x a day, I literally couldn't get out of bed. I am a personal trainer and very active and healthy.. So mind you this is not normal for me. My body felt very heavy and i had no motivation. Extreme Fatigue and feeling cloudy headed were the first things i noticed, then after a couple days my tongue turned white, i started developing thrush (which its an antibiotic so i know thats semi-normal since it causes an imbalance of healthy bacteria) but i started getting tiny sores in my mouth and throat which was horrible. My nose is clogged with yellow mucus.. My stomach is bloated to twice its size now, I'm getting severe gassy-type pains in my lower stomach and then upper (esophageal) contractions. I will get bouts of nausea and feel like I'm going to vomit but i haven't yet. Im also experiencing a lack of mobility in my hands and odd tingling in my extremities... Needless to say, I stopped taking this a F 25 7 days

 2  H pylori / heliocobacter White coat on tongue on Day 7 (might be thrush?) Diarrhea on Day 7 Terrible Metallic Taste in mouth at night EMOTIONAL crying a lot I took this for h pylori infection along with Biaxin. I was diagnosed and treated after a positive antibodies blood test for h pylori. Not even sure I have an active infection? I am supposed to be on it for 14 days but stopped on Day 7 due to side effects. I plan to see a gastrointerologist for a proper diagnosis via stool or endoscopy. I may go the holistic route if I'm still infected? The Metallic Taste was the first symptom I noticed on my evening dose. It was terrible. I started getting more loose stools on day 7 and then a white coating on my tongue. I had pins and needles feeling throughout body. Weird dreams. Cried all day on Christmas? This drug gave me terrible side effects and I won't take it again. F 41 7 days

 1  BV Loose stools, very upset stomach, cramps, headache with lots of pressure, and the pill tastes horrible. I have taken this medication before for BV, but this time around is different. I feel sick often. Once the pill starts dissolving in my stomach is when the pain starts. I feel awful!!!! It also gives me a yeast infection. I've tried taking it with a probiotic but still got a yeast infection. On day 4 and not sure if I'll make it to day 7. Thinking ofthrowing them away. Not worth feeling this awful. Pill was prescribed to be taken two times a day for seven days. F 32 4 days

 3  Vaginal infection I had to take 4 of these nasty things in one sitting. I took a nap and woke up with HUGE lips. Kind of painful to touch. For all I'm going through it better get rid of my infection. Also, slight nausea and shaking. I'm not even allergic to anything but this drug might be it for me. Not the most pleasant. F 22 1 days
