On the second day everything changed. I began to feel sick like I was dying. I continued on with the dosage as prescribed. I was down in bed for the next few days. Felt very sick like I was on my death bed. Joints began to ache and I could barely get out of bed. Seemed like my blood sugar level kept dropping rapidly. Still have 5 more days left and I'm attempting to finish the prescription as recommended. This medication has almost made me suicidal, felt like I didn't/couldn't go on with life. Praying that this passes. | M | 50 | 9 days 500 2X day | 10/19/2013 | 1 | Bv | Constant nausea, headache, fatigue, stiff neck, back aches, muscle pain, vomiting, dry mouth, constant dizziness.

Stomach spasms. | Constant/annoying ringing in ears 24/7 the "day" I started taking Flagyl. It has been 7 days since I stopped using it and the ringing in my ears is still CONSTANT and I also feel like my ears are clogged sometimes.

I ended up in A+E on the advice of NHS24.doc prescribed me stemetil and omeprazole which definitely helped with dizziness and abdominal pain.Nasty stuff I will never take again! | F | 32 | 5 days 400 mg | 8/22/2013 | 1 | H-Pylori | Terrible muscle weakness and unbearable pain, pins and needles in legs and arms, muscle twitching, numb sensation, back pain, swollen face, nausea, bloodshot eyes, sleeplessness, brainfog, headache, panic attacks, crying all the time, fear of dying, bones cracking with every move, restless, sweats, dark urine, frequent urinating, loss of appetite | i have started this evil drug together with amoxicillin for 7 days. i had amoxicillin on its own before and had no side effects at all. so it must be this poison. from day 1 i had a bad headache and very dark urine despite drinking tons of water. on the day 3 i woke up in the morning with a swollen face and feeling very weak and had this absolutely horriftying muscle pain. i stated to have fears that i might have some serious disease like MND or MS as my legs and arms went numb, bones started to crack loudly with every move. i felt like i was out of this world or under water, could not concentrate, my vision was a bit blurry, i was crying for no reasson. so i stopped at day 3 as i could not force myself to take another tablet of this poison, went to my gp right away and he said i did the right thing by stopping it. the night after taking the last dose i could not sleep at all, i was sweating a lot, and all scary thoughts running through my mind. i really thought i was going crazy or i will die soon. had few panic attacks the day after stopping taking it. its now been about 30 hours since my last dose, and only symptoms that got a little better is my brain fog and nausea, so i still feel like dying.. i really hope these symptoms will go away soon. i will not be taking this medicine ever again and would not recommend it to anyone. | F | 30 | 3 days 500mg 3X day | 8/22/2013 | 1 | C-diff | Headaches, fatigue, weak, nausea, anxiety, negative thoughts, chest heaviness, dizzy, panic attacks, heart racing, weight loss 10 lbs in first week, loss of appetite, feels like I have the flu, extreme emotional distress, frequent bowel movements, foggy feeling, depression and shortness of breath. | HELP! I'm on day 33 with these side effects, does anyone know of anything that helps fight off these side effects? | M | 53 | 13 days 500 MG 1X day | 8/21/2013 | 3 | Intestinal Infection | I honestly have not have any horrid side effects. The only thing that troubles me is the frequency of the side effects. I have read the reviews, and I had worse headaches than usual with my migranes, and have noticed otherwise that my urine has turned from a "clear yellow" to a much darker yellow. I have had no panic attacks, although I'm only a week in. Honestly, I'd suggest not taking this medication though unless you need to. It is only for very bad cases. I experienced no nausea, but the side effects, are not pleasant at all, I experienced many of the minor ones, but so far the medication hasn't left me with as much "horror" and "despair" as the rest of you all. | Like said, I don't suggest it as a medication to use unless you need to. I took the medication orally, and has no issue until the 3rd night. This medication though is not a small antibiotic(No idea why they can't write a prescription for a basic and low frequency side effects as the results aren't stellar.) Anyhow, the medication, although currently getting rid of the infection isn't a pleasant one to take, and if you experience any of the more "severe" side effects such as feet/hand tingling, numbness, vomiting, severe headaches, horrible stomach discomfort or BLACK urine(Yes, this has been a COMMON severe side effect) talk to your doctor immediately. Hope this helps. | M | 15 | 30 days 500mg 3X day | 8/16/2013 | 4 | BV | Iv taken this several times and the only side effect was funny taste in the mouth. Today is the first day on it again and I forgot and had a drink with my husband. I'm feeling so anxious with fast heart beat, shakey, headache, nauseous, tingling. It's been 5 hours since I had ONE drink. This is horrible. Almost feels like I should go into the E.R | F | 22 | 5 days 500mg | 8/15/2013 | 5 | C-diff | Completed the second round of 14 days, and have been off for over a week. No sense of the "return of the C-diff" yet. The drug seems to have done it while being on the heavy meds for one month. I pray it stays that way. The side effects are not at all pleasant--I hope they invent a Flagyl with fewer side effects but I am giving the drug a +5 at this time. C-diff is the villain--Flagyl the weapon. :>) | 71 | 28 days 500 3X day | 8/6/2013 Patient History | 3 | Infected gum | Severe tiredness, weak, off balance, nausea, anxiety | M | 30 | 3 days | 7/26/2013 | 3 | E-coli O:157:H7 | Mild nausea, off-balance, anxiety, depression, brain fog | Just took last dose. Symptoms (loose stools) better but not totally gone. | M | 63 | 7 days 500 MG 3X day | 7/24/2013 | 3 | Spreading dental infection | I was okay to take this with a small meal. If on empty stomach I would most certainly have diarrhea. I STRONGLY advise against alcohol - I did not have any while Iw as on metronidazole but 48 hours post finishing the prescription I had 4 drinks and vomited for 8 hours (mostly bile). It was akin to the worst stomach flu you can imagine, not even like drunk vomiting, but just agony. DO NOT MIX with Alcohol. | Avoid alcohol (really, truly avoid) Potent though - took care of my infection quickly (was also taking combined with another antibiotic). | F | 23 | 7 days 4X day | 7/22/2013 | 1 | bv | Very strange mood swings, negative thoughts, depression, insomnia, fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of coordination, nausea, general feeling of being unwell | F | 26 | 7 days | 7/16/2013 |
