| 3 | possible C-diff. infection | Initially, no side effects. Already had diarrhea because of believed C-diff., so wasn't sure which was causing it. Sleep difficulties, hot-cold events, lost 5 lbs. in one week (that part was Ok), fatigue. Stopped the regimen after 3 days, started feeling better after 2 more days. Now, 2 weeks later, still have this nasty, rotten taste in my mouth that won't go away. Occasionally have extreme light-headedness to the point of nearly falling over,...but without nausea. | This is strong medicine & I hope I never have to take it again. Can't wait for this nasty taste to go away. Hope that it does! But this is almost a last resort drug for C-diff., & the C-diff. is even nastier than Flagyl. | M | 60 | 3 days 300 3X day | 1/17/2012 | 3 | Precaution followig tooth extractio | Bad taste in my mouth, nausea, migraine, loss of appetite, dizziness, not being able to get my words out correctly, mild anxiety. | As I did not actually get an infection in my tooth it is hard to tell whether they worked. I did not experience such severe side effects as I thought I might, but they were pretty horrible all the same. I just hope I never have to take this medicine again. | F | 35 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 1/13/2012 | 1 | for constant diahrhea | instead of it reducing the diahrhea; it has made it worse; and i also have been taking cipro with the same effects so i am stopping it right now and hopefully the diahrhea will go away. will consult my doctor on Monday. do not recommend either one of these drugs without causing diahrhea or other side effects. | F | 78 | 4 days 2X day | 1/7/2012 | 1 | tooth and gum abcess | stomach pain with taking tablets after 3 days | threw out tablets after 3 days used swedish bitters compress in mouth with cotton wool 5 mins amazing results will do once more infection is nearly gone swelling gone pain gone | F | 54 | 7 days 200 mg 3X day | 1/5/2012 | 3 | BV | Horrible nausea and dizziness. Did not have any energy nor did I want to get out of bed. The taste it leaves in your mouth is terrible. It did clear up the infection somewhat although not completely but this may be due to inconsistency in taking the medication. I'm on my second go round with this so we'll see how it goes this time. | F | 17 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 1/4/2012 | 3 | bv | Dry mouth, bad taste in mouth, sore throat, loss of energy, loss of appetite, mood swings. | F | 29 | 7 days | 1/3/2012 | 1 | bacteria | Do not drink alcohol. When I woke from a night of drinking.I vomited out food from my last meal. Then the vomiting continued over and over. It was a neon greenish/yellow color. When I called the poison center I could hear them laughing. The lady told me flagyl is used as anabuse. | 21 | 10 days unknown | 1/1/2012 | 1 | severe ulcerative colitis | started flagyl 500 mg 2x day pills 9-2-11. For the first 14 days had metallic taste, minor headache side effects. The rest of 3 month period noticed tingling/numbness in thumb, pointer, middle fingers at night and bad in early a.m. Worsened toward end of 3 months. Now 12/29/11 for a month numbness tingling pain stiffness in same fingers 24/7. | However, as of October 2011, began having tingling and numbness in thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger in both hands upon waking every morning. Then that began to happen during the night as well, every night. It was worse some mornings. I had pain in my finger joints, and could barely hold my toothbrush without severe pain and stiffness. The hot water of the shower seemed to help warm up my joints, but throughout the day I noticed the numbness and tingling remained now. Next I foudn that I was numb in those same fingers 24/7. But I was too dependent on Flagyl at that point to even think of stopping. I just couldn't go back to my severe symptoms from UC. No more Flagyl, the doctor said no more due to tingling/numbness. Doctor prescribed Sulfasalazine, wonderful. Regained to a healthy weight again, eat anything.No schtummy pain, no blood in stool. Feel normal! | F | 47 | 2 months 500 mg 2X day | 12/29/2011 Patient History | 4 | BV | I posted on 12/21 about not having any side effects after my first dose. Today was my last day of taking it and I still didn't experience any major side effects, thank goodness. The only one that comes to mind is the metallic taste and dark urine, both of which are just minor annoyances that don't cause a whole lot of extra damage. | Try not to drink alcohol while taking Flagyl. I hold my alcohol very well and one drink was enough to make me feel more nauseous than usual. I wondered why, but then I remembered I was taking Flagyl so that had to be it. | F | 22 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/28/2011 Patient History | 4 | Bacterial overgrowth | Horrible taste in mouth, which caused loss of appetite and nausea. Irregular bowel movements such as loose stool. Drinking, eating, and gum helped the taste, but nighttime was hard. Darkened urine. Tongue felt different, almost furry and I felt like I needed to keep brushing my tongue | F | 19 | 10 days 3x D | 12/28/2011 | 1 | Stomach bug | I experienced nausea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, white & furry tongue, abdominal pain, persistent kidney pain, sore ovaries difficulty drinking water, metallic taste, difficulty swallowing, depression, fatigue, joint pain, burning sensation during intercourse. Fnished course 2 days ago & have had constipation & diarrohea together with burning sensation. Wake up each morning with severe mid - upper back & neck pain, stomach pain, metallic taste , nausea & fatigue. | F | 39 | 7 days 400mgx3/d | 12/25/2011 | 2 | c- diff | THis is my 2nd round of flagyl for c-diff infection. I am down 9lbs, no appetite, tingling in hands and feet, complete exhaustion. Today is my last day taking flagyl and I hope and pray it cures my c diff.. Have not felt the same since taking this drug. | M | 59 | 10 days 500 3X day | 12/23/2011 | 4 | BV | Loss of appetite, severe nausea, ringing in ears, dry eyes, sore throat, loss of sleep, anxiety, pressure in chest | I am also taking Septra due to UTI.

I felt like such crap. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE STOMACH PROBLEMS DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!! I was suppose to tske for 7 days twice a day and only got to the 3rd day and stopped after 1 pill.. side effects just kept getting worse.. headaches, metallic taste, abdominal pain, heartburn..everything intensified tremendously went to er today still feeling like crap! It literally drove me crazy, depression, anxiety.. stay strong ppl & if there's a substitution for this HORRIBLE MED take the cream or other pill first!!!! | F | 19 | 3 days 500mg | 12/18/2011 | 2 | C diff | Terrible nausea and vomiting, dry heaves, vile taste, distortion in sense of smell. Loss of appetite, unable to drink fluids. | Most terrible drug I have ever taken. C diff only minimally reduced. Managed to get it down buried in a spoonful of vanilla yogurt. Never again--I will live with the c diff first and that is bad. | F | 57 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 12/16/2011 | 2 | Bacterial Infection | I have taken this med for 3 days and having terrible side effects! Pins n Needles in my feet, sore throat, metallic taste, neck pain and severe headache (almost like a tension headache). I want to stop taking this med but calling my doctor tomorrow just to be sure I should. | F | 39 | 3 days 500 mg | 12/15/2011 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | Within 24 hours had a hoarse voice, then completely lost all means of talking, barely a whisper and a painful throat. Pins & needles in my fingers, and panic attack. Went off the drug immediately now day 5 without it, and still no voice! | F | 45 | 2 days 200mg 3X day | 12/13/2011 | 5 | Dental & sinus infection | Moderate dizziness and light-headedness, some anxiety and increased fatigue. | Prescribed flagyl and amoxicillin. Worked extremely well against dental infection. Prior to starting this course infection was spreading rapidly through facial spaces, was quickly brought under control (within 3/4 days.) Seems my experience is more positive than many on here. For dental problems people suffering severe reactions to Flagyl may want to ask their doctor about alternatives such as erythromycin, which tend to have less extreme effects. Most disturbing effect was a vertigo-like dizziness, thankfully so far this has been relatively short term though. Would recommend flagyl for dental infection even if effects are unpleasant, as this can quickly become very serious if left untreated. | M | 28 | 7 days 500 3X day | 12/11/2011 | 3 | c diff | Nausea, severe headache, metallic taste, furry tongue, itching skin, loss of appetite, loss of energy, triggered asthma attacks, cough | F | 41 | 6 weeks 500 | 12/10/2011 |
