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)

 3  CDiff I took the first prescription exactly as prescribed. At 8am, 4pm, and midnight. I like my wine, but completely stopped having any alcohol. ALthough I read you should also stop hairspray, lotions, etc. But Dr didnt tell me that. My CDiff seemed gone. Went back to a glass of wine or two, and here I am a week later, back on the Flagl for a second round. My stool test after the first round came back positive. I think I got this from taking Antibiotics. Ive had it before. Am not having any side effects. Im on a antidepressant, a beta blocker, allergy med, and .25 Xanex at bedtime. Again, no side effects that Im acutely aware of. A little tired, but that could just be the infection. F 56 2 weeks

 3  Diverticulitis Fatigue, fatigue and fatigue. It certainly helped chase away the lingering infection, but I have been dragging butt since starting this stuff. Been a bit grumpier than usual, fairly moody. I usually go to bed around 11 p.m., but I'm racking out around 9 while on Flagyl. Tried to do some yard work today and got about halfway done before needing a nap. M 40 21 days

 4  Vaginal Cuff inverted tired, rapid heart rate, panic, heaviness in chest, depression, anal itch and seepage, nausa, vision floaters. i was having all of the symptoms that I had read about but did not realize it was the meds. I just thought I was crazy. ^ days into a 7 day script I developed a UTI. I did not take day 7 dose because I then started a new antibiotic macrobin for the UTI. I am 5 weeks post op a hysterectomy. I was on Flagyl due to vaginal cuff bleeding and poss infection. My doc wanted to restore the natural flora (germs) of the vagina. F 33 6 days

 5  c diff First several times horrible. Multiple multiple adverse symptoms. I have discovered a few things. News no alcohol Including hairspray, makeup,, body lotion, mouthwash, room deodorizers, hair conditioner, facial lotion, anything with even trace amounts of alcohol. Brush your tongue with lemon juice and sea salt how to remove the white gunk. Stay away from anything carbonated. Use cortisone cream to Itching areas. Never take with any other meds. Even hand lotion generally has alcohol. These precautions have greatly reduced my side effects. F 61 4 weeks

 1  H pylori Insomnia something awful, jitteriness, extreme fatigue, bitter taste in mouth that is still sometimes noticeable 12 days after stopping it. Vivid colorful disturbing dreams, waking up in the middle of the night with lightning bolt feeling in my head, Feeling like there is something seriously wrong with me. It's been horrible. I was taking this with Clarithromycin and Prilosec so I'm not 100% sure this was the cause but based on everything I've read it's pretty likely.When I became sick in bed from it, I went to the emergency room because of the worst of the above symptoms - felt like my head was on fire and have consequently taken anxiety medication mainly because of the sleep issues. The only plus is it appears to have gotten rid of the infection. I will never take this again. M 51 8 days

 3  C.DIFF Diagnosis (no poo confirmed) DEPRESSION, CONFUSION, BRAIN FOG, PANIC ATTACKS, ANXIETY, TROUBLE CONCENTRATING -- stomach pain, muscle aches -- Increased empathy towards others. THIS DRUG SERIOUSLY JACKED UP MY PSYCHIE. Made me feel like a crazy belonging in a nut house, with frequent nervous breakdowns and constant feeling of death looming around the corner. I want to be so accurate in my description as reading these things made ME feel a lot better -- the more accurate the reviews on depression/anxiety - the better I felt and was able to stick on the drug to today (DAY 10). I want to be available via e-mail for anyone taking this drug in the future who may just need someone to reach out to and talk to; as I have been in your shoes!!! M 32 10 days

 1  Bacterial vaginal infection Nausea/ night sweats/anxiety/panic/weird ringing in ears felt like wind was blowing on them/ tired more than usual/ nasty bitter taste in mouth/ dizziness Worst antibiotic I ever took.

Never taking it again. F 24 7 days

 5  Colitis Leaves a constant taste of bile in my mouth, no appetite, exhausted, early and very heavy mestruation, depression and anxiety. I am also on warfarin so it is rather frightening being on this medication as it increases my bleeding risk over 50%. Evidently it was the milder choice for my problem though. It has cleared up the non-stop diarrhea but I am wondering if it may be case of the cure being worse than the disease. Tomorrow I go see what it has done to my INR. I have to be on it for two more days. Not happy, makes me scared to leave the house due to the increased bleeding risk, even with no trauma, can just happen spontaneously. F 46 10 days

 1  CDIFF Was on this for CDIFF....worst med I've ever been on in my life...do no take, see if you can get something besides this. I was on it for CDIFF. I have Cystic Fibrosis so stay on antibiotics all the time...tolerate them well both IV and oral. This stuff made me Sooooo depressed, brain fogged, lethargic, and weak. I've never, ever in my life felt as sick as this drug made me. It got rid of the Cdiff but about killed me. I threw up every day while I was on it. M 27 19 days
