FLAGYL  (METRONIDAZOLE):  Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of infections. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria and parasites. This antibiotic treats only certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Metronidazole may also be used with other medications to treat certain stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by a bacteria (H. pylori).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Cdiff I am a doc and I got cdiff. While the cdiff knocked me down I have no doubt the flagyl decreases activity tolerance. Also brown urine, bitter taste, and maybe some depression. M 35 2 weeks

 1  Giardia This is definitely the worst thing I have ever put in my body. I read about some of the side effects before taking this, but assumed these were probably rare scenarios and not the norm... nope, just 6 hours after my first dosage I started to feel extreme nausea and spent the rest of the night projectile vomiting. I'm extremely lethargic now, my appetite has been suppressed, and as long as this drug remains in my system I continue to feel nauseous and have feelings of vomiting with anything I eat and the smell of most foods. I have already called my doctor and requested a different medicine. Beware. M 28 7 days

 2  Bacterial Vaginosis Severe abdominal cramping accompanied by loose stool, agitation/mood swings, and most disturbingly, short term memory loss. Just tonight broke out in hives. Not sure if its related but sure is coincidental. I've taken alot of antibiotics in my day and never experienced side effects like these. I have only two days left so I guess I will continue but this stuff seems a little scary. F 35 7 days

 1  dental infection Not sure if these are side effects or if I'm just going to die soon. Sounds so melodramatic but honestly I've never felt so bad while taking a Rx. Neck/head pains, weakness all over, dizzy, anxiety, loss of appetite, back pain, nausea, a general feeling of organ failure. Can't seem to do anything without running out of breath or energy. After this I will never take my health for granted. Preventative measures all the way. If I survive, that is!!! :( F 41 7 days

 1  Bacterial Infection Hives, head and body aches and pains (felt like lightening bolts shooting across my entire head and body). After second dose I had a full blown allergic reaction. Hives, striking pains (felt like lightening bolts) throughout my head and body. I took Benadryl and the hives and body pains went away. Not the headaches. I've had headaches every day since that horrible life-altering day. That was 9 months ago. Drs can't find anything wrong. As far as I'm concerned, I will live with this condition for the rest of my life. The severity of my reaction is very rare. Nonetheless, this med is evil. 40 1 days

 5  Trichomoniasis Basically none. This antibiotic worked really well for me. I was dreading taking it after reading all the horror stories but I can honestly say, I had basically zero side effects. I didn't drink any alcohol whilst taking it of course and I was feeling MUCH better after only two days of taking it. I hope I don't have to take it again but it was very helpful to me and worked like a dream. Admittedly it tastes nasty but lets face it, we don't take medication because we like the taste do we?

 1   My system is so messed up. I have had a vaginal infection for almost 4 years now and I know it's because of over-prescription of this nasty drug. I am seeing a naturopath because MD's don't understand this systemic infection I have. I am spending tons of money trying to regain my health and am on such a strict diet I can't eat like a normal person. I think this drug should be banned as well. It is nothing short of POISON!

 1  c diff The bitter taste of course. Severe abdominal pain, back pain, chest pain,nausea, and shortness of breath where like I can't get a deep breath. The fatigue and tiredness was unreal. Hardly had energy to walk to bathroom.It did help my diarrhea from 20 times a day to twice. I would not recommend this to anyone. I have been off the medicine for 5 days and am still having abdominal pain fatigue and shortness of breath. Dr said it wasn't the med. but I 100% disagree especially since I found this wed site and see what so many others went through. I have had all kinds of test to check why the pain and shortness of breath is still here everything comes back normal. But I wonder if I will ever be normal again. The flagyl helped my c diff but what I've been through is unreal. I will never take it again. F 59 10 days

 3  Diverticulitis I am on the fifth of seven days of this drug. Initially experienced no side effects but, starting on the third day, the need to urinate increased significantly. And, starting today, I have experienced dizziness; nausea; pins/needles and aches in arms, shoulders and legs; and mild headache. While I know it is unwise to stop taking an antibiotic before the prescribed dosage is complete, I do not want to continue taking this drug. F 60 7 days
