| 4 | bacterial vaginosis | Intense sadness, fatigue. | F | 29 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 4/13/2015 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | Absolutely horrible, racing heart, nausea vomiting stomach pains, anxiety, depressed, night sweats, dizzy sick to my stomach!! | This is the worst antibiotic I've had to take and I've had to take it twice within a month of each other! | F | 32 | 7 days 500mg | 4/13/2015 | 3 | Suspected diverticulitis | Tunnel vision feeling. Stomach pain like acid reflux. Weird dreams. Major headaches and stuffy nose. Several very panic attacks. | The symptoms of the diverticulitis cleared up fairly soon and I do take a probiotic I can't say which is a real side effect snd which ones were "suggested" by reading the ridiculously long laundry list of possible side effects. I have panic disorder anyway and this just made it worse I think. I felt that I just couldn't get past the anxiety tape playing in my head. Was very glad it was spring break. I'm a fifth grade teacher and I don't like to be off my game | F | 58 | 10 days 250 mg | 4/12/2015 | 3 | C Diff, an intestinal bacteria | So far had 7 of the 14 days I'll be on it, feel tired & lethargic but cautiously optimistic. I still have some symptoms of the bacteria ,(several bowel movements a day) but it's improving.I do get occasional tingly hands but not too bad. | Flagyl seems to be the first drug prescribed after a C Dif diagnosis, isn't always successful. I'm hoping it works. | F | 67 | 10 days 1000 mg | 4/11/2015 | 1 | vb | This drug is a poison. I completed it 15 days ago and I am still dizzy, tired and tingly everywhere in my body. | F | 39 | 7 days 500 mg | 4/1/2015 | 3 | Cdiff | Headache, tiredness,insomnia,body ache, itching, nausea, dizziness, all around feel like crap | F | 36 | 3 days 500 3X day | 3/31/2015 | 4 | Post Op to prevent infection. | I did experience some upset stomach the first 2 days. Had trouble staying asleep at night, for entire duration. Dark urine for first 2 days too and slight vertigo on days 4&5. Was prescribed this along with Levaquin 750, once a day for 5 days after emergency apendectomy. It didn't affect me nearly as bad as most of these posts, but I was overly paranoid of what I consumed during my course, due to alcohol interaction. Been off for 5 days now and feeling back to normal again. Hopefully I'll never have to take this again, but it did its job, so the alternative could have been much, much worse. | I advise anyone taking this to take on a full stomach, with a small glass of milk. Drink plenty of water whilst taking. This seemed to help me with the side effects. | M | 35 | 5 days 500mg X 3d | 3/19/2015 | 4 | Parasite | Nausea, headache, night sweats, diarrhea, metallic taste, tiredness, joint pain In hands and calves, confusion | This medicine was hard for me to take. If it cleared up my problem that's a blessing. It was a rough 10 days of feeling very sick and not myself with so many symptoms. I am 3 days off the medicine and still not feeling my normal energy and have off/on diarrhea. I really want to get back to normal and wonder if 1) I'm really 100% cured and 2) if so, how long do the lingering side effects last. May end up back at the doctor but hope not! | F | 45 | 10 days 500mg | 3/14/2015 | 4 | Diverticulitis | Headache | I have taken Flagyl and Cipro everytime I have a DT attack. It's always helped I am taking it now. I would never take Leviquin like a patient said earlier and was blaming all her side effects on Flagyl. I would check with her dr if I was her about the Levewuin. | F | 76 | 1 days | 3/13/2015 | 5 | osteomyletis of the jaw | Anxiety, nauseous, dizziness,numbness ~ tingling in arm and leg, feeling cold, insomnia, metallic taste in mouth...loose stools all day, every day. Feeling depressed. | I have been taking Flagg twice a day every day for 4 months now along with biaxin..It has helped the very severe infection in my jaw which I still need surgery for. Even with the side effects I'm going to take it as long as my Dr has me on it...the pus pouring out of my jaw was worse! Thankfully the side effects come and go so I have days where I feel good and days when I feel horrible. | F | 57 | 4 months 500 mg | 3/11/2015 | 1 | CDIFF | After 24 hours: severe abdominal pain, weakness, metallic taste in mouth, lose of appetite, EXTREME tiredness. After 9 days: broke out in a rash with hives all over my legs, butt, arms and side of face. Dark urination and loose stool. | Trying to decide if i should go to the ER because of the rash. Woke up on the 10th day of taking metronidazole and had to stop because my whole body is covered in a rash. | F | 25 | 10 days 500 | 3/11/2015 | 1 | dientomebria fragilis | F | 10 | 21 days 300ml 3X day | 3/8/2015 Patient History | 2 | BV | Panic attacks, blurred vision, pain in eyes, stiff neck, persistent headache, brain fog, insomnia, tingling in arms, cold hands, chills, sore throat, metallic taste in mouth, depression | I suffer from panic attacks from time to time and since the end of my first dose on my first day I've been in and out of a constant state of of anxiety and depression. I've had chills and sore throat on and off. This is a miserable drug and I was prescribed mainly as a preventive to bv. I have slept 2 hours in the last 48 hours. Should I stop taking? I feel like I'm losing my mind and have felt very dark if that makes sense. Taking every 12 hours. | F | 26 | 7 days 500mg 2x | 3/7/2015 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | After taking flagyl for 2 weeks my lymph node swelled in the groin area. Its so painful giving me a hard time to walk.It lasts for more than 2 weeks now. I cant even describe the swollen lymph node cause im a bit chubby and hard for me to find out where it is.Doctor also said that my pap test is abnormal. Could u please give me additional info about this. Really worried.thanks | F | 35 | 2 weeks 250 mg | 3/4/2015 | 1 | Intestinal Infection | Dizzying syndrome, Anxiety, Central nervous system and hearing problems. | Perhaps more than any has been treated Hypocondriac, and thatīs frustrating. If you have any problems Central Nervous System, consult your doctor about the possibility of seeking an alternative drug, because Flagyl can seriously affect your quality of life. I expect my testimony can help somebody. | M | 26 | 5 days 500 3X day | 3/4/2015 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Nausea, Fatigue, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Abdominal Pain/Pressure, Swollen Stomach, Body Ache/Back ache, Dark Urine, Bad taste. Chest Pressure | Side Effects were extremely aggressive. After 2 appointments, and 3 days of arguing with my dr. for an alternative or something to aid the side effects, and inability to walk due to muscle and back ache from straining due to diarhea and vomiting. Dr. prescribed 4mg of Zofran for the nausea. The Zofran would help momentarily(hour), then it would be back to the aggressive side effects. Pharmacist said to avoid anything with alcohol in it, including mouthwash because it could trigger the horrible effects. Never taking this medicine again. May be going to the ER, after reading everyone elses comments. This medicine is not right. | F | 30 | 10 days 500MG 2X day | 3/4/2015 | 1 | Intestinal Infection | Dizzying syndrome, Anxiety, Central nervous system and hearing problems. | I wrote about Flagyl a few weeks ago because the side effects that had caused me. After six weeks of taking this drug I can say with certainty that my life has not been the same. Side effects are still upset, and although have declined gradually, there have been others due to the impact this drug has on the Central Nervous System. I went to the doctor, and have consistently denied me Flagyl cause these side effects. They considered that my symptoms are due to a generalized anxiety or psychological problems, not the use of this drug. Before consuming Flagyl, I just manifested stomach pain, intestinal infection, and diarrhea without neurological, psychological or hearing problems. After consuming this drug, I have conducted a hearing test, and middle ear, which resulted in a Dizzying syndrome, due to constant dizziness that did not stop. I had to consume Diphenidol to relieve these symptoms. But despite that, in the right ear and behind the head has persisted an annoying pulsing sensation, feeling constantly day and night the sound of my pulse like a bell, with a pressure of the skull and neck. I still feel a little strange, sometimes with memory problems or disorientation, doctors insist and insist that Flagyl does not cause these side effects, and on the third day of consuming the last dose should already finished, but not what is expressed in the comments. Before consuming this drug I did not feel any of those unpleasant symptoms. Perhaps more than any has been treated Hypo | M | 26 | 5 days 500 3X day | 3/3/2015 | 5 | BV | Burning vagina | Other than the above side effect, it was worth it! It cleared up my infection. | F | 29 | 7 days 500mg | 3/1/2015 | 4 | bacterial vagnosis | Upset stomach, increased appetite,vomiting, fatigue, headaches, mood swings, darkened urine , nasty after taste | This is my first and last time taking flagyl. The side effects was kicking my butt. I was proscribed a 10 day dosage.I almost gave up after the 5th day because of the nasty side effects.until I notice flagyl had gotten rid of the infection. I completed the dosage. never again I would take flagyl. If I ever get bv again I would recommend the vaginal cream. | F | 28 | 10 days 500mg | 3/1/2015 | 1 | C Diff | Anxiety, Depression, Angry etc. | M | 29 | 10 days 3X day | 2/27/2015 |
