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)

 1  BV Worst I've ever felt in my life! Today makes day 3 that I've been off of it and so far my symptoms aren't gone. The pill dissolves before you can even get it down, after almost throwing up the first dose I decided to start putting the pill in pudding to make it go down, it worked like a charm (unless that's the reason I'm not better?) the metal taste it leaves in your mouth is disgusting, I recommend chewing gum or purchasing jolly ranchers. I felt nauseous, dizzy and weak. I suffered from loose stools, nightmares and having difficulty focusing at work, dark urine and cramping. I hope to never have to take this again! :/ F 26 7 days

 3  unknown infection headache, intermittent nausea, bad taste in mouth, dizziness, I'm on my 4th day - this has helped somewhat but most antibiotics work faster. This side effects are terrible & I have to psych myself up to take the next dose. Since my symptoms of (constant diarrhea) are improving a bit I'll keep taking it - but this is a work in progress & I don't think I could ever start this one again. 46 7 days

 4  Diverticulitis Nausea, listlessness, hiccups, loss of taste, headache I have had several episodes of diverticulitis and in all instances I was prescribed Flagyl and Levaquin. I was also prescribed Prochlorperazine (5 MG) to combat nausea. Usually for the first 2-3 days of an episode, I do not eat. After that, I am on a liquid diet of popsicles, jello and water, followed by soft foods until I am completely healed. I don't do so well with the medication as the nausea is so overwhelming I have to stop taking it. I am going to try to take the full dosage this time and hope for better results. Drinking plenty of water helps alleviate some of the negative symptoms. Anything cold helps my symptoms as well, that's why popsicles, slushies, shaved ice, etc. F 62 7 days

 5  Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Only side effects I had with this antibiotic was a small headache that was easily cured with some Advil. Darker urine too. I dont understand much of the complaints on here, considering the medicine cured your issue of BV. So what if your urine was a bit darker, you felt a bit nauseous, or had diarhea? These are all temporary effects that I would say are definitely worth going through to get rid of this gross infection! Worth it! Cured me completely. F 27 7 days

 5  BV First two days of drug: dizziness, mild nausea, and fatigue. By the third day, began to experience loose stools in the AM, dry mouth, and metallic taste. Nausea and dizziness seemed to wane by day three, but fatigue continued throughout. By final three days, began to experience stomach ache/gas pains. In general, I felt the worst in the morning. I am on my last day of Flagyl and infection seems to be cured. Side effects of this drug are intense, but manageable. I took pill after eating, which seemed to help with nausea and dizziness. I stayed out of the sun and did light exercise/stretching at home (I am a runner, so this was an especially difficult week for me). One of the best things for me (psychologically) was to remind myself that I was getting better! F 32 7 days

 5  bv The infection cleared a day after the first pill but side effects were Hell. I wad tired most of the day and felt extremely weak at random time of day. I also had tingly feet, wrist,and hands and had to soak my feet in hot water to relieve the pain. The taste is horrible as soon as it hits your tonuge you need to swallow it. I recommend juice instead of water because of the awful taste. Avoid this medicine if you can. F 20 7 days

 1  Bacterial Infection Depression, nausea, mood swings, grogginess, light headed, "buzzing", loss of appetite, frequent urination, dark urine, fatigue, drowsiness, cramping, insomnia Strongly recommend seeking other medication. I have never been so miserable in my life - constant emotional break downs after the first two days, unable to concentrate, frequent naps, disrupted sleep schedule and extreme bouts of depression. Ask for and read a COMPLETE list of side effects when using this drug. I was grossly ill informed about exactly what I was taking and wouldn't wish the same experience on anyone else. F 22 7 days

 3  Mild Diverticulitis Excess saliva/drooling, bubbling reflux, DARK urine and poop, loss of taste, diarrhea, loss of appetite, sour stomach, instances of loud outbursts, confusion and emotional disturbances Also taking Cipro 2x a day for Diverticulitis confirmed by CT. After learning that Diverticulitis can reoccur and lead to the surgical removal of portions of the colon, I agreed to stay on this medication. The side effects have kept me off work for 4 days so far. I'm hyper sensitive to all my senses. Everything seems exaggerated. I'm sensitive to sound, sights, changes in temperature and taste. My body aches and my moods are unpredictable. The initial pain in my lower left gut was intolerable and it is subsiding now after taking this medication. I have another six days to go and getting through the first 3 days was hell. My body didn't want to consume food but without it, I could not keep the medication down. Everything tastes nasty! First night, I got a Flagyl stuck in my throat and choked on it. It's chalky and filled my mouth with the taste of a 1000 aspirin. I gagged and gagged and am gagging thinking about it. Take it with food and water and get it down quick or it will get stuck. F 45 10 days

 1  BV extreme nausea, cramping, anxiety, fogginess, exaustion, the list could go on and on I am on day 4 of this horrible stuff, thought I was going crazy and decided to do some research. Plus side, infection seems to be gone. Negative side, I've lost 3 lbs from not eating (and I'm already a small person), can't function at work, nauseous ALL the time, exhausted, horrible taste in my mouth (chewing gum 24/7 so I don't have to taste it (and I work with people so I can't have terrible breath), so I have a sore jaw now too). Just generally been disinterested in life. Horrible horrible horrible! I'll never take it again. F 24 5 days
