| 1 | BV | Fatigue anxiety urine increased burning not decreased evacuated bowels frequently. Would recommend vaginal gel first before taking this nasty stuff | F | 54 | 7 days 500 mg | 6/4/2014 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | HORRIBLE. I feel dizzy all the time I have gotten to the point i feel like I'm going to pass out. I'm constantly sick to my stomach and have a head ache. I feel really out of it and tired and constantly have to pee. Depression too! And the worst part this is my second time being on it and it isn't clearing up my infection! | F | 21 | 6 days 500 2X day | 5/21/2014 | 4 | BV | I just had major surgery 12 days ago (hysterectomy), so I am taking Percocet and 800 MG of Motrin for pain as well as Colace to help me poop and then I get this BV on top of all of this. I called my doctor and he prescribed this God Awful Medicine. This is about the 3Rd time Ive been prescribed this and have never made it thru a cycle completely. Im on my 4th day out of a 10 day script and I cringe each time I have to take it (2x day) because of the Gross metallic taste in mouth, have to take it with grape soda and eat a snack afterwards to mask the taste. The other side effects aren't too bad ( dark urine, green stool,somewhat weird dreams, loss of apetite, nausea and some fatigue) considering the pain I'm in from having my gut cut open and trying to get up and walk around to ease the pain and swelling. It seems to have cleared up my BV as I no longer see the results from that but now I just have to grin and bear it and take this crap for 6 more days to complete my cycle so hopefully it won't come back. Next time I'll ask my doctor for an alternative medicine as I don't think I can make it thru another cycle of taking this drug. | F | 50 | 10 days 500 MG 2x | 5/17/2014 | 3 | BV | Horrible Nausea, headaches, dizziness, depression, feeling of impending doom, weak, flu like symptoms. But did notice it was clearing up infection | F | 20 | 10 days 500 2x | 5/15/2014 | 1 | C diff | This drug is horrible I have depression anxiety muscle aches nausea phlegm constantly in my throat abdominal cramping... I'm moody I'm anxious I feel depersonalized I'm dizzy and I have a very uncoordinated sense of balance.... My mind is very foggy I started to think I was losing my mind then I spent a couple of hours looking on the internet at all the side effects of this drug... it's absolutely horrible But c. diff can turn into a life-threatening condition so I'm forced to take it I'm on my 5th day and a pharmacist told me that I wouldn't get vancomycin unless I went to the hospital and she said she had never heard of any of the side effects I think she's nuts... I read through about 10 reviews on this site and one of the ladies was a nurse and she repeated verbatim the exact side effects I'm having and the funny thing is is I had all the side effects before I started reading about it so I know its not the placebo effect.... I got CD from taking an antibiotic for an inflamed tissues and then I ended up on this and now I've got a horrible yeast infection because of it too I'm going to continue on a it because I want the cdiff to definitely go away... I used to be a pharmaceutical sales representative and in all honesty I've never seen a drug so horrible and cause such wretched side effects | F | 45 | 7 days 500 mg | 5/13/2014 | 2 | Tooth abscess | Wow well to start I'm a person with pretty regular panic attacks. The flagyl made them waaaay worse!!!!! And isn't really doing much for the abscess either. This stuff is terrible. It tastes horrible and makes me feel aweful. | F | 28 | 5 days 500 mg | 5/9/2014 | 3 | Bacterial infection after c-diff | EXHAUSTION, FATIGUE, memory loss, general feeling of death update: gave it extra point after I pushed through full 7 days, and I'm over the bacterial infection without having c-diff. I guess it's good to have SOMETHING, though really, expect a DARK WEEK while you're on it. | F | 35 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 5/6/2014 Patient History | 5 | C.Diff | Extreme sleeplessness. | Haven't had any of the other side-effects others report, and it stopped the continuous diarrhea (35 in day) and horrid cramping, so I will mark myself one of the thankful ones. | M | 51 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 4/27/2014 | 3 | Diverticulitis | Dry mouth, metallic taste, headaches, dizzy and very tired at the beginning, bowel urgency and going up to six times in a day, abdominal cramps and spasms, darker urine. I also took Keflex (same dosage) at the same time. | I ate a lot less while taking this but had unrealistic amounts of bowel movements, finished a day ago and still can taste it, still having bowel discomfort and urgency and hoping it gets out of my system soon. Not sure if I need to take a probiotic or not. | F | 44 | 10 days 500 mg 3X day | 4/26/2014 | 4 | Intestinal infection | Started taking 1-1/2 days ago and only side effect so far is extreme fatigue. Can hardly keep eyes open. Starting to have vaginal dryness/itching so hope I'm not getting a yeast infection. Hoping I can continue the drug without side effects that others have experienced. | Supposed to take for 10 days 3x day, then 3x day every other day for 7 days, then 3x day for 7 days. | F | 56 | 14 days 500 3X day | 4/25/2014 | 1 | bacterial infection | horrible taste in mouth, fatigue, feel like by guts are being ripped apart, headache, joint pain. | It is the worst Rx I've ever taken. It should be taken off the market. | F | 58 | 6 days 500 3X day | 4/23/2014 Patient History | 1 | Diverticulitis | Worst medicine ever. Fever, exhaustion, can't eat, makes me gag. Went off after 6 days. Couldn't take it. | F | 56 | 10 days 500 | 4/23/2014 | 1 | Salivary gland stone and infection | Very bad burning mouth sensation, loss of appetite, food tasted foul. Grogginess and fogged brain. Wouldn't want to take this again. | F | 51 | 7 days 450mg | 4/19/2014 | 4 | stomach bacteria | I've taken this drug once before and am just starting on it again, four years later. So far, it seems to have helped (as it did last time.) I'm taking it in conjuction with Cipro, which I started two days earlier and experienced no side effects (nor do I ever, with Cipro.) Flagyl is an entirely different story. Read the patient enclosure; it's there for a reason. The headache, diarrhea, taste in mouth I am already experiencing, as I expected. Because the diarrhea can be INTENSE, this time I will stay on the BRAT diet until I finish the Flagyl, thereby keeping the diarrhea a bit more manageable. Also drinking sports drinks to keep the fluid/electrolytes more or less in balance. My experience is that if you're taking Flagyl, though, expect to be housebound. | F | 60 | 1 days 500 mg 3X day | 4/6/2014 | 1 | Gynaecological Reasons | Brain Fog, Extreme Fatigue, blurred vision, depressive thoughts, tearfulness, headache, numbness, white/yellow coated tongue, strange taste, etc etc etc | I finished the course 3 days ago and I am still unable to get out of bed. I ended up in hospital 2 days ago with raised blood pressure ( normally it's low) lost vision in right eye evening before, numbness down one side that is still all over my head to-date. I feel terrible as can't stand up without feeling dizzy and head feels foggy and aching all the time. I have tried to google help but not having much luck. Some say try Sulbutiamine a synthetic Thiamine but I'm afraid to put anything else in my system. Others say it is due to candida increase? I am trying to drink as much water as possible but so far no luck, I am really scared this feeling isn't going to go away........please can anyone help? thanks | F | 44 | 14 days 250mg 2X day | 4/2/2014 | 1 | Intestinal bloating | Took 1 single 500 mg dose and I felt like I drank battery acid. Extreme off the charts burning in my stomach, esophagus and small intestine. | This crap is poison at best and should be avoided !! | M | 59 | 1 days 500 3X day | 4/2/2014 | 1 | Possible uterus infection | Where do I begin! I'm suppose to take it for 7 days I'm on day 2 1/2 and thinking about not taking it as it is causing severe headache nausea total loss of appetite rapid heart rate metal taste furry tongue hot flashes complete feeling of illness felt better before taking it | F | 22 | 7 days 500mg 2x | 3/10/2014 | 2 | sepsis at wisdom tooth | burning sensation at feet,pains in tummy vere severe actually emptied whole of bowel in one go.metalic taste in mouth and when ended dose felt like flu | just wonder if something more simple than this could be given for dental pre op removal of wisdom tooth | F | 63 | 5 days 400mgs 3X day | 3/5/2014 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | dizziness, vertigo, palpitations, nausea, anxiety, sense of impending doom, panic attacks, derealization, depersonalization, lump in throat, reflux, severe back/neck pain, headaches, complete loss of appetite, weight loss, intermittent tingling in hands/feet, tingling in vaginal areas, sensations of "butterflies in the stomach" throughout entire body, night sweats, fatigue, malaise | Nursing student, here. I took the drug for three days. The first night I had an anxiety attack, but didn't connect it to the drug. Day two I walked myself into the ED, because I felt 'strange', and when I took my pulse it was 136 bpm. Blood pressure at ED was 160/98, which got me a bed immediately. ED doc gave me ativan, and said that sometimes Flagyl caused a reaction like this, and gave me more ativan for later. Stopped taking flagyl on day 3. Experienced symptoms listed on an ongoing basis for nearly two months. Felt like I was going crazy. Every time that I discussed symptoms with doctors felt dismissed and as though they weren't making the connection between the flagyl and the symptoms/side effects. Didn't feel fully myself until 3 months after taking drug. Even now, a year later, I still occasionally don't feel quite right. Would not take again, frankly - if it came to a choice between dying or taking the drug, I'll go out and start digging. | F | 34 | 3 days 500 2X day | 3/2/2014 | 4 | Tooth infection | Headache, nausea, dizziness, trouble concentrating, general weakness, bad taste in mouth, dry-mouth, yellowish-brown urine. | Taken in addition to augmentin to clear up tooth infection. It did its job, but hardly worth the side effects. I won't take this again unless I absolutely must. Nausea was the worst. Just as I'd start feeling okay again, it was time to take another dose. | F | 34 | 8 days 500 MG 3X day | 2/27/2014 |
