| 1 | possible bacterial infection | blurrry vision, shaky hands, the feeling that I was going to die, actually began entertaining committing suicide. saw people around as bothering me, went into seclusion, loss of appetite, no sleep, sweating, moody, dark urine and poop, bad taste on mouth, lack of concentration at work. weak and so disillusioned about everything. stomach ache, fast heart beat. always was sure something bad is going to happen.… | I dont know but this is not something i will want to take again unless i am facing death. the feeling of wanting to kill my self.... God, I would be dead by now due to a stupid flagyl drug? worst of all no one ever told me about the side effects until i decided to do a research on my and landed here. i hope there another alternative to this poison. | M | 34 | 1 weeks 3X day | 1/17/2015 | 5 | Acute Diverticulitis | Imbalance, dizziness, felt like my head was doing a 360 degree rotation on my neck, felt like the floor was rising up to meet me, neck and shoulder tightness, head pain, eye pain, blurry vision, irritability, anxiety, constipation, head pressure, aggression, chest tightness, woke up with right side of face swollen, nasal congestion, coughing., ear pressure The metallic taste is nothing compared to the rest of the side effects. | I am sure this kept me out of the hospital but I felt like I was fixing to die. I called this drug chemo in a pill back in 1989 and it still is. Had it again in 96 when I got C Dif in a hospital. I hope I never ever have to take this again. I hate this drug however good it is. The best thing to do while on this drug is to get into bed and stay there as nothing good comes from being vertical. I only gave it a 5 because it works but I am NOT satisfied. Too many side effects. I have one dose left and I will be so happy tomorrow. My doc did not give me Cipro as he felt it was overkill but this drug can cause upper respiratory and sinus infections so that must be why they give Cipro in conjunction. Let me up. I've had enough! One more dose, one more dose.....lol | F | 61 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 1/16/2015 | 4 | Amoebiasis | Depressed,feeling of dying, anxiety, excessive sweating even if its cold, chilling,back pain, stomach pain as if you have ulcer, wobbly feeling, brain fog, nausea, horrible headache. Thats the right words to describe this drug. Its been 3days since i stopped taking this and the side effects still lingers. | F | 25 | 10 days 500 | 1/15/2015 | 1 | diverticulitis | It gave me severe anxiety attack....tingling in my arm, off and on sweating, heart beating fast, blood pressure seemed to go up....Although I could breathe fine it still felt like someone was lightly choking me around my neck...The overwhelming feeling I was going to die made things worse.The attacks came soon after I started the medication...I just stopped it after only 4 days in after seeing doctor... 24 hrs later I feel much better still edgy but better.....I forgot to mention my last attack lasted for hours and into the night...I got no sleep at all. | If you get prescribed this please be careful. Don't be afraid to tell doctor right away. | M | 40 | 4 days 500 | 1/13/2015 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I have taken flagyl twice in my life now for the same issue, 4 years ago was the first time and I don't recall the side effects being as severe as they were this time around. NO motivation,and when I say no motivation I mean, I don't want to get out of bed and I'm a early bird, lack of concentration even on my ADHD medication, depression and I'm generally a happy outgoing person, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constant hunger, just the constant feeling of blah and that something bad is going to happen. I hate taking medication as is, so it is easy for me to pin point changes in my body from a medication when I do take them. | Regardless of all the negative side effects, it does treat my BV so for that I am grateful, I would be more grateful if they would be able to just find a cure for BV without anyone ever having to take this awful medication again because in all honesty the side effects aren't worth it. | F | 27 | 7 days 500mg X2 | 1/10/2015 | 1 | Bacterial vaginitis | Severe anxiety | F | 52 | 10 days 500 | 1/6/2015 | 1 | Infection | Diarrhea | DO NOT TAKE, still have side effects after 6 years. Not as severe now, but the damage has been done. Make sure you have a clear diagnosis of what the doctors believe you might have before starting this poison (seriously I mean poison) and if there is anything else that can be prescribed to you instead, please look into it, do some research first before putting into your mouth. If this is the only medicine that will keep you alive then go for it, but please remember the side effects and everything you are feeling is true and you are not going crazy. Take care. | M | 25 | 5 days 500mg 3X day | 12/29/2014 | 1 | Possible bacterial infection | Extreme fatigue, weakness, dizzy all the time, felt drunk all the time! Extreme confusion, extreme depression, didn't want to be awake anymore! Didnt feel like I was in the room, and thought the people around me were being strange with me - paranoia. This felt like how people describe a bad trip on acid or a comedown! Worst week of my life I had to stop taking after five days! Ruined my Christmas! | Do not take this drug ever unless it is life threatening, ask for an alternative medication! This is poison, toxic and could potentially ruin your life, I'm just happy to be feeling almost normal after six days of stopping! Still not 100% and I picked up a cold virus because my immune system has been destroyed! I couldn't see the light at the end but thankfully I am now! So angry with the doctors! I pray for you all feeling similar things and there is hope and you will be normal again! Best wishes | F | 22 | 7 days 400mg | 12/28/2014 | 1 | cdiff | Horrible. Not taking any more. Throat pain. Stuffy runny nose. I feel more sick now than I did before. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! Went to er after the first day of taking it with head dizziness and my face feeling numb. They didn't even mention the side effects. It took research on my own to put it all together. I'm 6 pills plus 2 in the hospital into treatment and I can't take it anymore. I feel like crap! Do not take it unless certain death! | Sucks! | F | 32 | 2 days 500 | 12/26/2014 | 1 | Diverticulitus | This is the third time I have had a flare up with this intestinal infection and this medication is horrific. I agree that it should be called satans pill. I lost the last twelve lbs I could never lose but now I am doing everything in my power to keep my weight on. I constantly eat but still feel faint like I hadn't eaten at all. The cloudy head the confusion is horrific. i took my last pill this morning and i pray to the heavens above this infection is gone to never return I feel like this medication is killing me even more so than the infection was. Feel lucky if you were able to get through this medication and not feel as awful as I did! I already battle with PTSD asnd severe anxiety disorder so this was horrible ;-( | Please lord there has to be a batter medication then this one for intestinal infections? | F | 39 | 10 days 3X day | 12/26/2014 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Trouble sleeping, increased appetite, and the worst was extreme increase of saliva and mucus in my throat | It seemed to have cleared up my bacterial imbalance, I'm on day 5, and as much as I don't want to take the last 2 days of it because of the nasty mucus build up, I know I need to. I'm also 15 weeks pregnant while taking it. | F | 35 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 12/22/2014 | 1 | Parasite | Extreme nausea. Took Zofran with it even. Very weak, not myself, dizzy, no appetite | Would never take this again. My family and friends were very concerned about me. I have to pace myself everyday because I am still so weak even after going off the Flagyl now for 3 days. | F | 61 | 6 days 500 3X day | 12/20/2014 | 1 | Post oral surgery infection | Side effects got worse every day. Severe nausea, ringing in ears, extreme confusion, 1 mild hallucination, mild diarrhea, horrific taste in mouth (like I imagine how formaldehyde would taste). Stomach pain, extreme weakness and fatigue, sweating, neck stiffness at first. I have no idea what my mood was like. I had to clear my calendar due to eventual inability to function. | Neck stiffness can be the beginning of drug-induced acetic meningitis, which Flagyl can cause. Don't play around with this one. My surgeon told me to stop it today (was prescribed for 10 days & I took it for 6). | F | 46 | 6 days 500 3X day | 12/19/2014 | 4 | Diverticulitis | Spaced out, tired, short attention span, only able to work part time. No problem with taste. (I took it 10 years ago and could barely get it down due to foul taste. This time not so bad.). Except for diverticulitis I am in very good shape. | It works. I take it with cipro. Diverticulitis is bad stuff. Very important to finish full course of drug, as prescribed. | M | 72 | 10 days 500 mg 3X day | 12/16/2014 | 3 | H-pylori bacteria | Tiredness, VERY bad taste in mouth for a couple of hours after taking, and bad nausea if I don't drink at lease 400ml of water with the tablet every time I take it. | If you're taking this drug make sure to drink PLENTY of water or will cause extreme sickness. Avoid taking if you can, I couldn't because I am allergic to erythromycin, and the antibiotic they normally combine with amoxicillin to kill h-pylori contains a drug of the same family. Not a great antibiotic though people! | F | 21 | 7 days 400mg | 12/15/2014 | 1 | C. Diff | Body aches, terrible weakness, nausea, joint pain, headache, general feeling of being unwell, can't walk on my own, dizziness, fear of death (probably because I felt like I was dying), very bad cough - like whooping cough, dark urine, etc...etc..., the bad effects went on and on | Everyone that wrote that this drug is poison is absolutely right. I felt like I was going to die and it was one million times worse than the C. Diff symptoms. I had a terrible time deciding whether to go off of this drug due to being scared about C. Diff, but I was getting sicker and sicker with every pill. As soon as I stopped taking it, I started feeling better and like I was gradually coming back to life. Now at more than 24 hours without it, I finally feel almost normal. Even the cough I had developed since starting it that I thought must be unrelated has gone away. I have had a lot of medical problems, but Flagyll made me feel worse than anything else ever has. Now my doctor has prescribed Difocid instead, but it is $3300 and Vanco is $7000, so I am not currently on an antibiotic. Not sure what I will do, but am taking massive doses of probiotics and hoping that helps. | F | 45 | 4 days 500 3X day | 12/15/2014 | 1 | colitis | Body chills,Extreme tired,depression | F | 62 | 10 days 30 3X day | 12/13/2014 | 3 | Extreme fatigue and sleepy. Dizzy feeling and lose of coordination. Feel disoriented and extreme hunger. I can eat a full e al and still feel hungry. Horrible pill taste...almost devolves too quickly to swallow you end up gaging on it on the way down. | Medication seems to work well on curing the infection. | F | 45 | 3 days 500mg | 12/11/2014 | 1 | chest infection | I had all the side effects could not sleep shaking all the time hot and cold sweats vile taste in my mouth.numb legs burning pain in my back shaky legs when I walked.feeling of doom fuzzy head finished the course almost a week ago and still feel vile.Can't go out side as I still feel really awful I thought I was goinground the bend.I will never ever takes these again. Still feel as though I am going to throw up at any moment and still have blurred vision. | If you can help it never take these pills. | F | 52 | 10 days 1000mg | 12/9/2014 | 1 | BV | I am so happy I found this forum because I was on my way to the ER. The side effects are horrible!! I finished the last dose on yesterday and I am still feeling disoriented. My side effects included the following: Mood changes felt extreme anxiety (feeling depressed) Hot sensations in my groin and down my entire leg Nervousness/shaky Feel like I am dying like everything in my body is about to crash Dizzy (couldn't even work out) Lower back pain Dark urine Blurred vision Thrush on my tounge Concentration has been off (can't function at work) I hope there are alternate medications because I never want to take this again! Boy am I glad I found this site to avoid spending $$$ at the ER. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/9/2014 |
