| 1 | diverticulitis | super metallic taste in mouth at all times, severe nausea, but the worst was the depression. gloomy, depressed, despondent. never felt that way before or since, had not idea why until I researched it. dreaded the next time I took a dose because it was worse a couple of hours afterward for me. cure worse than the disease | M | 48 | 10 days 500? 2X day | 11/13/2014 | 2 | took it after cervical cauterisatio | To sarat with dark urine you need to drink lots of water. Feeling of a dry mouth with metalic taste. It gave me twitches at the lower limps. A bad felling of being bloated all the time. Little of stomach ache. Blurry vission as well | But to say the truth it is mr doctors first choice and he adviced me to have it while I am having tge meal. Cant wait to finish the dose | F | 49 | 10 days 1200 mg | 11/11/2014 | 1 | Stomach | Severe Panic Attacks, Dizziness, Headache, Nausea, shakes, hot, cold, thirsty, metallic taste in mouth. | Very similar to dozens of other on this website. I also was thinking I had a severe anxiety disorder. Panic attacks coupled with sever thirst and headaches meant I nearly took myself to ER. Thank you to everyone that has added reviews. I feel more at ease now. | F | 7 days 400 3X day | 11/8/2014 | 1 | tooth abscess | Vomiting, loose stools, metalic taste, breast tenderness, blurred vision, swelling of throat, tiredness, whites of eyes are yellow, headaches, bloating and wind | Its horrible stuff and I feel like im being poisoned. Been on it for 4 days in combination with amoxcillin. Had amoxcillin before so know its not that which is causing symptoms. This is a toxic drug and highly dangerous in my opinion. | F | 51 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 11/1/2014 | 1 | For Diverticulitis | I am taking this Medication as well as Cipro for Diverticulitis. After taking this Medication I am freezing cold, and very sleepy. Also the pain in my Back and Ribs seem worse. The Doctor says my Blood work looks much better but I just feel horrible. I don't even want to do anything but lie down in my Chair. | M | 51 | 6 days 500mg | 10/30/2014 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Immediately after I started taking this medication I noticed my BV symptoms going away. No complaints there. The taste was horrible, but if you eat something afterwards you won't notice it anymore. Shortly after beginning this medication I began having very severe nightmares and trouble staying asleep for long periods of time. Around day 2 or 3 of the medication I also noticed that I was becoming very irritable and impatient with others. The worst of all the side effects for me personally was the constant drowsiness and difficulty driving. I would literally have to keep my music blaring in my car to keep myself fully awake and alert. This medication should seriously only be taken when there are no other options available. | F | 22 | 7 days 500mg | 10/29/2014 | 1 | c diff | all of the same side effects as others..the worse medication. I had c diff 2 yrs ago..I had to take 2 rounds of flagyl and then a dose of vanco to kill it 2 yrs ago. I lost 2 months of work. 1st time I had cdiff in 2012 I was using alcohol hand wipes. bad idea as any form of alcohol, not just drinking alcohol, will make your symptoms worse when you take flagyl. I did not use hand wipes/cleaners at all this time but the flagyl is terrible. I acquired c diff again 2 weeks ago because I had to be on 2 diff antibiotics for sinus infection and bronchitis. feelings of doom, arm tingling, dry mouth, horrible nightmares the 1st 5 days. day 7 I thought my gut was dying, terrible stomach pains...I have loaded up on probiotics and yogurt to help kill the cdiff this time...hope it works. will be taking my last flagyl this eve. I cant' wait. I cant' exercise, have confusion, hard to work and concentrate. Hard terrible terrible headaches 1st week...if the cdiff comes back, I will have to try van | Flagyl did not kill my c diff 2 yrs ago, even after 2 rounds,,,I know I wont' use it a 2nd round this time if c diff comes back. | F | 58 | 14 days 500 3X day | 10/22/2014 | 1 | Bacteria overgrowth in stomach | Was given this to help with a possible bacteria overgrowth in my stomach after months of having issues. I took a full day dosage (1 3x) and then the next day I took my morning and afternoon dose and haven't taken any since!! Horrible flushing, night sweats, chills, depression, anxiety - it has been 3 full days of being off this medicine and I still have horrible anxiety, depression chills - I am on medication for depression but in all the years I have been on any medication, never have I wanted to end it all! I went to my primary doctor yesterday because my heart was racing and I felt so anxious - had to be prescribed something for the anxiety I am having because of this medicine! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!! It should be taken off the shelves!! I would rather wait out an infection than take this every again!! | F | 35 | 1 days 500 3X day | 10/21/2014 | 3 | abscess after appendectomy | Negligence from my surgeon caused me to have leakage and abscess after my appendectomy. After they drained me the first time, I was in the hospital for 7 days on cipro/flagyl thru IV, then released where I was on oral cipro/flagyl/fluconazole for another 7 days. Going oral is when I felt the sickness, after 4 days I felt loss of appetite, nausea, bad stomach aches, anxiety attacks,sweats but I did the course. Had a follow up appointment only to realize I still had another abscess that needed to be drained (no infection tho) so they 're admitted me and I was again in the hospital on iv flagyl/cipro for like 4,5 more days after draining. Now I've been released again where I've been on oral cipro/flagyl for 7 more days and its towards the end of whatever bs course they told me and I'm just feeling all the side effects so I'm quitting this crap. I doubt there's an infection anymore since I've been on these meds for about a month now. My hospital is getting a lawsuit because I'm too young and healthy and this experience has really scared and traumatized me. I wish the best to all of you on this and please be brave. | M | 26 | 1 months 500 MG | 10/19/2014 | 2 | diverticular disease | Prescribed for c.diff after 3 stays in hospital for diahorria and severe pain. The flagyl has caused nausea, cold sweats,severe exhaustion and many other nasty side effects. I feel ill all the time and unable to leave my home. Have always been healthy but now every day is a struggle. 2days left of 10day course. Diahorria much less but pain and all other side effects remain. Am I alone with this problem? | F | 79 | 9 days 400mg | 10/19/2014 | 1 | C Diff | If they had a negative rating for this drug I'd give it. I know I will forget some. Nausea, vomiting, migraines, dark urine, abdominal pain, horrible insomnia (it's been a week and I'm still not right) Now for the crazies: Horrible anxiety, feeling of impending doom, thought I was dying, shortness of breath, sinusitus, cough, depression... my mother was taking care of me and left the house for 3 hours, I called her begging her to come back because my mind tricked me into believing she was never coming back and she hated me, hallucinations, heard things, swore I saw a man staring at me through my door. Swore I heard bells, thought my boyfriend was abanoning me, horribly violent dreams when I could sleep that had me terrified I would try to kill my mother in her sleep. Complete loss of controlling my own mind. Horrible taste of the pill. OMG I'd rather swallow vomit. Told the drs my reactions, they said it was all normal and to finish the antibiotics. It took everything in me to finish the antibiotics. 2 ER trips plus and urgent care trip. Worst experience of my life. I will refuse to take this ever again. Not worth my sanity. After further reading also found that it has been linked to causing cancer in some test... greaaaattt. UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO, DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. IT SHOULD BE RENAMED "SATANS PILL" | F | 22 | 7 days 500mg 3x d | 10/16/2014 | 2 | diverticulitis | Major nausea, insomnia, brain fog, severe fatigue, tastes like death, aftertaste like licking a battery, mild coughing. Needless to say I was also pretty damn irritable. | I had to quit taking this a day early. If your condition is serious enough, then maybe it's for you, but dear god the side effects are hell. I would only take this drug again if there were no alternatives. | M | 33 | 4 days 500 4X day | 10/14/2014 | 1 | mild diverticulosis | dizziness, dehydration eye pain confusion low potassium Still not feeling completely better after 4 weeks. Ears ringing and balance problems | F | 68 | 4 days 250mg 3x | 10/8/2014 | 1 | BV | Severe anxiety and depression; feeling of impending doom; itching; dry mouth; swollen gums; tingling sensations in hands and feet; crying; hearing bad things in my head (lowest point); tingling sensation on right side of face; loss of appetite; loss of weight; diarrhea; yellow stools; fever; cough; shivering (even when hot); brain fog; dizziness; insomnia; heaviness; overall loss of zest for life and living | It's been 3 days since I've stopped taking the drug and threw out tht remain ding tablets. Still having symptoms and praying it will go away soon. They have a vaginal cream version so not understanding why they don't prescribe that for BV versus the tablets especially when they know a lot of people have a bad reaction to it, as told to me by my doctor's assistant. Will NEVER take this again by choice!!!! | F | 35 | 4 days 500 2X day | 10/8/2014 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Extreme exhaustion, literally all I wanted to do was sleep. I could hardly move my limbs felt that heavy. Dry mouth, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, a feeling of hopelessness, constantly felt depressed. I had no idea I had BV until routine swabs and living in ignorance was bliss compared to this! Not recommended at all. | F | 20 | 7 days 400 | 10/2/2014 | 1 | for c diff | I experienced sleeplessness, giddiness, visual difficulties and inability to focus. | Flagyl helped lesson the diarrhea I was having, but it wasn't worth the horrible side effects I had. | F | 54 | 8 days 500 mg 4X day | 10/1/2014 | 4 | Diverticulitis | Was hospitalized for 7 days due to advanced Diverticulitis. Was put on the drug while in the hospital and prescribed it when I was discharged. I can say absolutely that some of the side effects mentioned by others are correct. The EXTREME insomnia, appetite loss, brain Fog and disorientation, weakness, lethargy, confusion, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, loss of motivation, weird dreams, loss of sex drive, itching, rashes, EXTREME numbness and pain on the bottom of my left foot. I'm a pretty athletic guy, 5'11, 210pounds, and I workout 4-5 times a week. Using this drug so far has indeed helped to clear up up the Intestinal infection and greatly reduce the crippling abdominal pain I had before, but the side effects are really REALLY starting to wear me down and begin to question whether or not I should keep using it..... Hopefully the bad side effects will lessen over the next couple of days. | Would I recommend using this drug?....I'm not sure. I guess if your condition is extremely severe and potentially life threatening then perhaps. All I can say is that so far (in the short term) it has helped relieve the intense severe abdominal & intestinal pain I've had for some time now. | M | 43 | 4 days 500mg 3X day | 9/29/2014 | 1 | lletz infection | The worst antibiotic iv ever takin!every side effect,nausea, diarrhea, dizziness,very weak was an awful experience i never will take these again!i stopped taking them after the fifth day got too bad!! | F | 25 | 5 days 400 mg | 9/28/2014 | 3 | bacteria infection | While on the med, had minimal nausea, lightheaded, dark urine. Now that I completed it, severe back pain, abdominal discomfort and nausea. Never drank alcohol, took as ordered. When will it go away?! | F | 27 | 7 days 400mg | 9/26/2014 | 1 | Bacterial infection | I was prescribe to take this medicine for a bacterial infection.... I had a major allegric reaction! Dry mouth, fast heart rate, dizziness, upset stomach and I had the worse axiety every, I thought I wAs going crazy, went to da ER three times to my PC doctor still they thought I was bugging out... 12 days after taking the medicine I'm just starting to feel like myself again this is the worse medicine ever!!!! | F | 32 | 1 days 500mg | 9/26/2014 |
