| 3 | C. Diff. | Excessive salivation, nausea, some disassociative symptoms | This is my second round of Flagyl for C. Diff. The first time, I was so sick with the C. Diff and on so many other drugs, I couldn't really tell what side effects were from what and didn't care. Now, it's pretty miserable and am really hoping this clears up all the C. Diff | F | 22 | 3 weeks 250 mg 3X day | 3/15/2012 | 1 | Mystery Illnes | Dry mouth even after drinking several cups of water. Loss of hunger (I can barely eat half of what i normally do and i feel stuffed). Bad coppery taste in my mouth. Very dark urine (almost brown). Cramps. Headaches. Nausia. Tired all the time. Minor difficulty breathing. Very hard time sleeping. Dizzyness (Kind of like i am off balance all day). Trouble concentrating on anything. | I am so glad i just took the last pill! Hopefully everything will go back to normal tomorrow. | M | 25 | 7 days 2X day | 3/8/2012 | 4 | BV | I have a terrible history of reoccuring BV infections and I have been perscribed flagyl each time. The main side effects I have are I get very sleepy and my urine becomes very dark. Other than that it works amazing. Usually by 2nd day I start feeling some relief. Hope this helps. Quick tip, have ur partner take the same dose when you do as to not spread it back and forth. Nothing feels worse than BV so why share it back and forth | F | 27 | 1 days 2000mg | 2/29/2012 | 2 | BV | sharp shooting pain in my left lower back under ribs, very dry eyes and mouth, joints sore, and does not seem to be working to clear up BV ??????? | F | 37 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/29/2012 | 5 | Diverticulitis | Metallic taste, headache, mailaise | This is a powerful, very unpleasant drug. More importantly though (in my case at least) it was the silver bullet that saved me from having an emergency colostomy. I guess I'm one of the few who would take it again if absolutely necessary. | M | 64 | 14 days 500 3X day | 2/27/2012 | 4 | BV | The first two days were fine. I the irritation started disappearing and the thick cottage cheese like discharge started coming out. On the third day I woke with a rash covering my entire face, chest,back and ears. | This was my first and possible last time using flagyl | M | 29 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/27/2012 | 1 | BV | My side effects kicked on day 2 of taking flagyl. I started having this burning/tingling sensation in my left leg and calf. On day 3 it to my right leg and my heart was beating really fast. Day 4 severe pain in left leg, heart feeling like it's going tot burst, dizzy,vaginal dryness, no sex drive, itching all over and felt like I was high. Was prescribed for 7 only lasted 4. | Once I stopped flagyl at 4 days, I ended up in the ER the next due to my heart racing. I started this medication 2/1/12 and ended it on 2/4/12, I was prescribed presidone, benadryl and some type of steroid to stop the allergic reaction. Here I am at 19 days off of flagyl and I am still suffering with the pain in my leg and 5 days after stopping my right has stopped twitching. I also started to experience 5-7 after taking the flagyl that my mouth and eyes was and still are dry. I never had any problems like this before in my life until I started taking this drug. Don't let your doctors tell you "oh the flagyl doesn't do that" because it do. Flagyl may work for alot of people but obviously I wasn't one of them. Please do your research on this drug before taking. I wasn't informed by my doctor or pharmacist about this severe and possible long term side effects, I was just told not to drink with this medication while taking or 2 days after. | F | 32 | 4 days 500 2X day | 2/23/2012 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Nausea, bitter taste, tired, light headed, heartburn, insomnia,just to name a few! | This medicine is so terrible and I thought I was alone in thinking this until I read so many of these reviews! I am taking cipro along with this but am considering calling my doctor to see if there is a substitute for flagyl. This medicine SCARES me! I echo so many of the comments that said they are afraid the medicine is more damaging than what it's fighting! | F | 56 | 3 days 500MG 4X day | 2/22/2012 | 4 | BV | Have taken this before never for more than 1 days dosage and have never had a problem! | F | 31 | 1 days 4x500mg | 2/21/2012 | 3 | Tooth Infection | A very odd dis-associative feeling, feeling sleepy all the time.

PLEASE PLEASE DONT use rhis unless you have no other medications left to treat vaginal infections I have one day left and pray I can make it God help me. The FDA should be suedbfor approving this medication. | F | 38 | 7 days | 2/16/2012 | 1 | Colitis | I had horrible side effects from this drug. I have a newborn baby and three year old and could hardly function to take care of them.
