| 3 | servere pain/abdominal pain | F | 23 | 500 mg 4X day | 12/2/2011 Patient History | 2 | c-dif | Horrible side effects. Hard to swallow, heavy feeling in limbs. mental hallucinations and short of breath. Dr. says stick with it??? | Don't think your c-dif is cured once tests come back clear. It can reoccur within 3 weeks or 2 months in my case. Get rechecked!! ( within 3 weeks or 1 1/2 month) | F | 59 | 10 days 250 mg 3X day | 12/1/2011 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | Extreme diarrhea, gas, indegestion, severe depression and mood swings, anxiety to the point of panic attacks, hot flashes, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, cold sweats, lethargy, back ache, headache | F | 32 | 7 days 500mg | 11/28/2011 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | Extreme diarrhea, throwing up even with eating prior to taking pill, no energy, body aches, head aches, chills and hot sweats. If you have kids I don't recommended this, I can't keep up with my two yr old at all. | F | 25 | 6 days 500 mg | 11/25/2011 | 1 | Basto cystitis | Dark urine, green ragged stools, intense indigestion, waves of nausea, and INTENSE ANXIETY. I have finished the course 2 days ago, if anything I feel even worse. The metal taste In my mouth is awful and I am not myself mentally. Every day I had feelings in giddiness, unsure on my feet. I hope the parasite is gone, this has been a nightmare, I would never ever take this rotten antibiotic again. I am now trying my utmost to recover..drinking lots of probiotic yogurts, boiled potato, black sugared tea. I did not know before reading this site that it affects you mentally, now I know. I have been climbing the walls with worry, feeling as if I am dying, I am not normally like this. AVOID THIS DRUG AT ALL COSTS | F | 48 | 7 days 400 3X day | 11/24/2011 | 1 | Clostridium difficile infection | Extreme stomach pains, nausea all the time, complete loss of appetite. Would further say was hospitalized for 6 days and would never wanna go through this again. Would never recommend this drug to no one felt like I was dying, and lost 30 lbs In the process. | M | 40 | 3 weeks 500MG | 11/24/2011 | 2 | C Difficile | Crushing depression and anxiety. I should reveal that I have a history of both, but the symptoms were under control until I took Flagyl. Admittedly depression is listed as a side effect on the patient information leaflet. Still, persons with a history of depression or anxiety should be careful with this medicine. That, and my c Difficile came back after Flagyl treatment. Though I can't really blame Flagyl for that. | M | 28 | 1 months 500, tid | 11/21/2011 | 5 | ulcerative colitis | tingling and numbness in fingers, especially two middle fingers, during the wee hours of the night and the early morning hours, continuing into the afternoon, in both hands, every day began after taking flagyl 500 mg 2x day for 8 weeks. Discontinued at that point. Still lingering. | Works GREAT to relieve almost all symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis (kills the bad schtummy buggies!)... | F | 47 | 90 days 500 mg 2X day | 11/18/2011 | 4 | C-Diff | None initially, then I was mentally off and had a very bad taste in my mouth. | I didn't have bad side effects until day three or four. After that I began to feel like what I imagine chemotherapy might be like. I was on autopilot for the rest of the time. Bad taste did not go away completely until about a week after I stopped taking it. But it cleared up the infection. | F | 56 | 10 days 3X day | 11/15/2011 | 5 | c. diff | Gas. Headache. | Diagnosed with c. diff, 2 months of constant explosive diarrhea I finally went to the Dr. Within 3 days the D is gone, can still hear and feel rumbling in my intestines but overall the side effects are minimal and absolutely worth it since I have my life back. I recommend this drug for c. diff. | M | 46 | 5 days 500 3X day | 11/9/2011 | 3 | C. Diff | Upper abdominal pain, nausea, lack of energy, loss of appetite, thrush, metallic taste in mouth | I was prescribed Flagyl after about a month of stomach pain, diarrhea, and nausea. The GI ordered a stool sample and it came back positive for C. Diff, which led to the prescription. Horrible side effects but I hope they were worth it. I have been off of Flagyl for 8 days and saw my PCP again today for continued upper abdominal pain and nausea. I hope I'll never have to take Flagyl again, but it, along with Florastor, seems to have helped with the diarrhea. | M | 24 | 14 days 500 MG 3X day | 11/7/2011 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Hands feel weird. Confusion/head in a fog. Headaches. Loss of appetite. Heavy feeling in my legs. Severe anxiety and insomnia. Lack of concentration. Felt like I was going off my rocker. Emotional. Paranoia. Irritable. Weak/ no strength. Nausea and vomiting. | Flagyl should definitely be taken off the market and sued for the pain and misery it has caused. Started my 2 a day dose on the first day I noticed within a couple of hours of taking the pill my hands started feeling weird, but eventually started going away. The second day was the same as the first except I felt jittery. By the third day I took longer for the hand feelings to go away,my anxiety was a lot worse which turned onto insomnia that night.. didn't sleep for a minute!!! I ended up throwing up at 5 in the morning on the 4 th day. I went to the ER with a pulse of 148 beats per minute and got something to calm me down and help me sleep. On the 5th day I cut myself off the poison called flagyl. Now 3 days after I still feel the side effects. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION YOU WILL REGRET IT!! I recommend getting the mild cream. | F | 24 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 11/2/2011 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | severe confusion and loss of emotion, followed by acute mood swings, and feelings of irritability. upset stomach, fatigue, paranoia. feelings of phsycosis. stopping at day 5! i cant take it any more. | PLEASE do not take this medication unless no other alternative is available. NOT WORTH IT!!! | F | 23 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 11/1/2011 | 1 | dental infection | Severe near constant headaches, feeling of doom and paranoia, severe anxiety and panic attacks, depression, mood swings, can't concentrate.....and I'm not usually one to have ANY of these issues!, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss. To sum it up.....it feels like you are not yourself in ANY way! You feel as if you are going insane! | This drug should be taken off the market! I wish I had read this before I finished my 8days of pure hell! | F | 39 | 8 days 500 3X day | 10/30/2011 | 3 | Vaginal bacteria | The first night, my right eye hurt and my vision was fuzzy. I had zero appetite. It's been two weeks since I've been off and my appetite is still not the same. Got a yeast infection one week after taking. | I avoided alcohol of any kind (even vanilla extract) for the duration and for an additional 4 days after finishing the medication. | F | 39 | 7 days 500 2X day | 10/24/2011 | 1 | VaginolInfection | OMG! I HATED IT! IT MADE ME FEEL WORSE THAN I DID BEFORE I STARTED TAKING IT. Experienced severe gas, indigestion, loss of apetite, vomiting, stiff neck pain, my body ached all over,,,I felt like I had the FLU to the 10th degree. I was supposed to be on it 2xday for 7days but I couldn't handle the side effects. Called my doctor after 31/2 days, and was prescribed LEVAQUIN 250mg. Almost forget, I had a major break down the 2nd day of being on the FLAGYL. | I WOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER TAKE THIS ANTIBIOTIC AGAIN! | F | 47 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 10/24/2011 | 1 | Maybe C.Diff | It was like being poisoned. DO NOT TAKE UNLESS THEY DO A STOOL TEST AND PROVE C.DIFF. It was a complete waste of time, the stool test proved I never had it. By day 4 my eyes were crossing, all day headaces, depressed mood, terrible feeling. It mentally attacks you just as bad as physical. AND I NEVER NEEDED IT. Day 4 I was ready to quick and the lab test said I did not have C. Diff, so the poisoning was a waste of time. AND several days later still have the fatigue and headaces. | DO NOT USE FOR C.DIff UNLESS YOU HAVE LAB PROOF | M | 40 | 10 days 500 MG 3X day | 10/23/2011 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | nauseated, thought my diabetes was acting up on me, dizzy, headache, stomach ache, gassy, high blood pressure or at least it felt like it. | I was not told there was a gel form of this medication. I would have opted for that one instead. I had to stop after one dose because I and the only adult at home during the week and I cannot function like this and have to get two kids ready for school let alone take care of them. | F | 43 | 1 times 500mg 2X day | 10/21/2011 | 3 | possible diverticulitus | I only took the drug one week | M | 55 | 7 days 500mg 3X day | 10/18/2011 Patient History | 1 | diverticulitis | Sick at stomach all the time and tingling in feet and calves | M | 79 | 10 days 500 3X day | 10/16/2011 |
