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  Dr suspects trichomoniasis Dry mouth, metallic taste, agitation, insomnia, fatigue, foggy, sometimes nausea. I swore I would never take this poison again, but here I am taking it and reliving the hell once again! If anyone knows of an alternative for Trichomonialis, please post. For those of you with BV, try Rephresh, Fem-Dophilus or a probiotic with L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri. Take the capsule form. I was skeptical at first, but then heard so many positive reviews so I gave it a try. It worked for me while nothing else worked. Not even Metro-Gel. I also heard putting boric acid into empty gelatin capsules and inserting them in the vagina works. Worth a try. Anything is better than horrible Flagyl. F 45 6 days

 2  Diverticulitis Headache, nausea, blurred vision, drunk feeling, horrible taste in mouth, odd smells, swollen hands and feet, agitation, restlessness, crying, exhaustion. There has to be something else. This is the fourth time I've been on this. I'd rather have a colon resection. Seriously. The medication works, but I feel like it has taken years off my life. It's a horrible, toxic drug. F 50 4 days

 1  Diverticulitis Extreme fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, inability to concentrate. This medicine shut me down for a week. All I wanted to do was sleep. It seems to have improved my symptoms (paired w/ 1 week of cipro) but the side effects are defintiely from Flagyl. One of my pills got ruined when dropped in water so I finished last pill last night. Had 1 cipro left which I took this AM. Feel vastly improved today after stopping Flagyl yesterday. Cure is worse than disease. M 55 7 days

 1  Bacterial Infection Extreme nausea, debilitating fatigue, headaches, metallic taste in my mouth, dark urine, foggy feeling As everyone else has mentioned, I would not recommend taking this drug. I didn't even feel this bad during the first trimester of my pregnancy. This drug made me extremely nauseous and fatigued. Not just sleepy tired, but more of a "losing consciousnesses" tired. If you don't know what I mean, you are lucky to not have experienced it. The taste in my mouth and overall feeling of "yuck" just won't go away. I can hardly function on this drug, it feels like someone has been slowly poisoning me, and I'm dying a little bit more each day. After 3 days, I'm stopping treatment and giving my doctor the middle finger. Seriously, why is this drug on the market? F 31 10 days

 3  No Nacious, anxiety, panic attacks, loss control of myself. To be honest I was really nervous to start taking this medicine because all the side effects I read online. I was first diagnosed with BV and they prescribed the cream for 5 night and didn't work so they prescribe the pills for 7 days. I had no side effects while I was taking it besides one day I took it in the morning and didn't eat and I got a little dizzy. When I finally ended the medication the day after I was gone I did suffer from side effects. I feel like was very depressed and anxious like I was out of my mind. I thought I was going crazy. I wasn't able to sleep I feel like I was high. It did clear up my infection but side effects after it's been a nightmare. I thought I was the only one going though this but thank god I was not.

 1  bv insomnia, depression, paranoia, metallic taste, weepiness, unsettled thoughts, mood swings, extreme anger... absolutely horrible. never taking it again, the infection seems to still be there but I hope the symptoms go soon more than the infection, which surely isnt right!!! more people should complain to their gp's and maybe this drug wont be prescribed as much.

 1  Vet prescribed for our cat Poor cat was prescribed this medicine for a stomach infection. Given 2 times a day via dropper..in the dosage of .08 mg....for 14days. It has now bee 7 days and she is not doing so well. Diarrea, dizzy and tongue swollen..also having problems eating, most probably due to her tongue. They told us that she would like the taste as it is fruit flavored! How many cats eat fruit! Will call vet today and explain this problem. This medicine sounds too experimental to be placed on the market, especially for animals as they can not tell you what it is doing to them. There has to be a better alternative! 10 1 days

 5  diverticulitis I had to take Flagyl previously for suspected Diver, so was familiar with the awful side effects. So when I was diagnosed and had to take it I asked my doc for Zofran. I really didn't want to take it as I was already on Cipro, Flagyl and Advil. But, day 4 I knew that if I didn't I was going to vomit. It helped a lot with the nausea and anxiety I have with Flagyl. Previously I was prescribed only 7 days of Flagyl, but this time 10. I am going to go 7 as I can't stand the thought of another 3 more days. Awful drug, but helps. F 56 10 days

 5  Bacterial Vaginosis/Yeast Infection I didn't have any troublesome side effects you guys! But also everyone body reacts to it different I read way to many reviews on this when I received the polls but the only problem I had was dry mouth. Boyyyyy, was I thirsty. BEWARE:antibiotics can cause yeast infections now I'm stuck with my yeast infection(my original one)and I think I may have oral thrush as I just stopped the pills yesterday my throat worsened. I'm visiting the doctor today to see. But I do have all the symptoms so...hopefully I'll just get more Diflucan and be successful with it! F 17 7 days
