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)

 2  Vaginal bacteria infection This drug does work to cure the infection but some of the side effects are pretty unpleasant but manangable. The people commenting about how this drug is ruining their life and stuff like that crack me up and they are probably still on it because it does mess with your emotions slightly. For me it makes me pretty drowsy I would compare to the calm sedated feeling of a vicodin high. it also did give me a minor rash that itched but benadryl helped. I wouldnt really want to take it again unless I absouletly had to but the people on here are over reacting. F 18 7 days

 2  Giardia nausea (like morning sickness), headaches, tiredness, bad taste in mouth / unable to taste anything properly, irritable / anger, balance / coordination affected like with middle ear infection, sore neck, achy body Can't believe how horrible I feel on this drug. Got giardia from little kids who have also taken this - one multiple times. Had no idea how nasty this is - luckily the baby only had to take it for 3 days each time. Feel terrible that they had to suffer through these side effects. My palate is completely messed up which really sucks as I'm studying culinary arts and am taking exams (practical). F 39 7 days

 1  BV Stomach pain one hour after first pill. Dizziness and felt "strange" hours later. After the third dose, headache and extreme nausea began and had to leave work, go home and go to bed. Felt like I had the flu. I was supposed to take for 7 days, but there's no way. I've never taken an antibiotic with such strong side effects before. I called the doctor on the third day and asked for something else. This is nasty stuff. F 51 2 days

 1  suspected h. pylori in stomach After taking my first dose with clarithromycin,felt nauseous, food made it better. Took the night dose, couple of hours later I had my head over my bin I felt so much like I was going to vomit. Nausea subsided then I went to bed only to wake up after half an hour with a rapid heartbeat. Didn't get another wink of sleep after that. Suffered from nausea, rapid heartbeat, Brown urine, soft stools, aches and pains in abdomen, itchy vagina, crying spells, white coated tongue. Could've been worse. It's clear I can't take this. I'm stopping all medication until I see the doctor on Monday. Side effects have subsided this morning, still can't sleep though. I hope I don't get any repercussions from this. I feel like it has done some sort of damage somewhere. Definitely poisen. Of course it would kill off any bug, I feel like it could kill me! F 20 7 days

 2  cdiff I actually posted on here a couple of weeks ago giving this drug a thumbs up however that's until the 13th day of taking this drug turned into a nightmare. I began breaking out in hives and had severe itching so my dr. took me off the meds. Two weeks later I was still breaking out in hives. These weren't normal rashes and bumps...the more I scratched the more welps and hives appeared. I finally went back to my dr after I notice my palm became red and itchy when I accidentally bumped it on my table. It seemed as if every insult to my skin or body was causing extreme itching and hives. So the verdict is in....I have developed dermatographism. I am now taking prednizone in attempt to hopefully be normal again. My drs and I are all hoping that this will not become chronic and life long. Take extreme caution when using this drug. F 28 2 weeks

 5  diverticulitis Bad taste, dark urine, confusion, frequent bowel movements, lethargy, just felt sick. I had to take this 20 years ago and when I had another bout of diverticulitis I groaned when I knew I had to take it again. It's nasty, but it works and I knew what to expect. It was easier this time, because I was not as ill and I had a trip planned which helped to take my mind off how bad I felt. F 71 14 days

 1  C Diff Headache, nausea, neck stiffness, body aches, general feeling of unwell. VERY tired, could sleep for 20 hours a day. I was supposed to be on FLAGYL for 12 days for C Diff. By four days in it had made me so sick the Doctor took me off of it. So far the C Diff has not come back. If it does he says we will try vancomycin or a lower dose of FLAGYL. Although it helped my C Diff - which was caused by a different antibiotic, it was the worst thing I was ever on. With each pill I just became sicker and sicker. If you are having any of these problems I would speak with your dr and see if you can get a lower dose or something else! F 27 12 days

 1  bacterial infection I hate this drug, it has made me feel very anxious, my heart is beating so fast, but I feel tired too. It has also made my memory very bad and I have an exam to study for. No offense to the blondes out there but since I started taking it I have been having a lot of blonde moments. Don't take this drug its horrible. F 23 7 days

 1  bacterial diarrhea This crap has destroyed the last 6 days of my life and counting. I'm a very mentally stable person, well this gave me the most horrible panic attacks and anxiety compared feeling like dying! So every time anxiety kicked in it made my gut so stressed that my effects worsen, I thought I was going to die went crazy and paranoid, please avoid this crap. Apart from mental issues like it was not enough, terrible abdominal pain blotted all the time...loss of appetite and nausea...tiredness unbalance unable to concentrate, weakness, metal taste and dry mouth, loss of sex drive totally...gassy, gut noises,...loose stools yellowish looking. I should stop now My dr in Singapore prescribed this crap before even knowing if I had bacteria or not "to save time" turned out stool culture came negative once I was done with the 5 days. During the 5 days no significant effects at all. After 3 days of taking it the nightmare started being all alone in Asia and I'm from Mexico imagine! So today is 1 week I'm off this poison and though the original issue of explosive diarrhea is cured, this is 100 times worse. Today seemed like a good day with reduction of anxiety and my energy got to the point that I played tennis for 2 hours, then again my tummy blotted after the game and I have now severe abdominal pain. Went to dr this morning and she was saying I should be off the symptoms by now because her "book" said it and her book did not include anxiety as a side effect...she related the anxiety to other shit. I will email her this link so she can learn more about this HORRIBLE POISON THAT HAS RUINED me for now. Please feel free to email if you want me to share what I did to feel better but if you have some words of empathy for me and tell me it's gonna be over soon, please feel free :) M 41 5 days
