| 1 | dental abscess | Nauseous, itching all over, with heart palpitations, dizzy and exhausted, I want to vomit, my nose is thick, I’m short of breath, I have a headache, I literally did not sleep AT ALL last night and managed to get 30 to 45 mins this morning from 7h45 to 8h30. My stomach is huge and bloated and full and sore and burning and I am crying all the time. My whole body is aching, my nerves feel on edge, my legs are jiggling all the time. | I am taking Flagyl in combination with Purmycin. I hate hate hate them. I can’t face another three days of this. But my dental pain has subsided.... | F | 51 | 5 days 800mg 2X day | 3/27/2011 | 1 | IBD | All day long nausea, sleepless, foggy, abdominal pain, depressed, exhausted. The worst, I'm moving right now. The moving truck came yesterday and I was felling terrible but I survived kind a. | Never ever again, I will try to take Flagyl for six days instead of seven (it is anyway only a "try" treatment). But not one second longer! | F | 43 | 7 days 500 3X day | 3/22/2011 | 1 | diarrhea | Metallic taste, dehydrated,ringing in ears,malaise,neck stiffness, dizziness,soft stool, tingling down arms,eye pain, irritability,anxiety | My doctor prescribed this to me after I complained of having diarrhea on and off for two weeks. Ear ringing started first, follwed by insomnia and metallic taste in mouth. After day 7, I have started to experiwnce problems after I eat. Extreme acute dehydration and terrible tingling in my hands. Stay away from this drug. If I had any idea that these pills would cause these issues I would have have never started taking them. Don't understand why my doctor prescribed them to me. | M | 40 | 7 days 500 MG 3X day | 3/18/2011 | 1 | C-Dif | Stomach cramps, extreme bloating, dizzyness, loss of apetite, weight loss, confusion, anxiety, irritability, moodiness (cry all the time at very little), severe panic attacks, "unreal" feeling all the time, loss of sleep | This is a totally awful drug! I got C-Dif (stool test positive) after taking Cipro for stomach problems, and was put on 500 mg 3X a day. The PA said it might take a month! This is day 8, and the stomach cramps have subsided some, as have the panic attacks, but the "unreal" feeling is much worse, like I am not in reality but some type of TV show about myself or something -- it is hard to explain, but it is terrifying. The PA will test the stool again at 10 days and if it is clean I hope I can stop taking this right away. I have read that others have had these symptoms, although they are rare, but they go away after stopping the pills. | M | 56 | 500 3X day | 3/15/2011 | 3 | BV | headaches everyday, slight nausea | Glad to see im not the only one having issues. For the past 5 years i get BV off and on, it always creeps back up. Ive taken this medicine several times and the side affects (for me) are always this lingering headache that subsides with ibprofen but never really goes away and slight nausea throughout the day. Also i notice that i feel hungry more often, even soon afetr i have just eaten. Good luck with this one but there really isnt a way around "curing" BV, these pills are the best option for now :( | F | 25 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | dyspnea | acute allergic reaction included shortness of breath, hyperventalating, rash, swelling of extremites, numbness, dehydration. | I was told upon followup with my GP that I should never been giving flagyl, as I am deathly allergic to several antibioitcs. used only 2 days. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 mg. 3X day | 3/7/2011 | 5 | Bacterial infection in gum | Just made me need to (excuse me) poop about 5 times a day! Now I've finished the course though, i've noticed a part of my tongue seems to have no feeling in it | I was in constant agony for 4 months with a tooth that turned out had been filled too close to the nerve so had it refilled a few times, countless emergency appointments where I was in so much pain, until in the end my dentist said she wanted to get rid of it once and for all by me having my tooth out. She took it out, and it was instant relief until I developed dry root about 4 days afterwards.metronidazole and an iodine packing sorted it right out and hopefully, I'll be pain free forever! | F | 22 | 5 days 3X day | 3/6/2011 | 5 | BV | diarrhea, cloudy lightheadedness (not too bad). | The comments on here worried me a lot before taking the drug. You have to remember that most people taking the time to comment on a drug will have had a negative experience. I'm here to do the opposite to ease some people's minds, hopefully. I had no serious problems other than diarrhea which subsided after I finished the medication. I was kind of lightheaded, but that was actually kind of interesting. Cleared up my infection with no serious problems or side effects. | F | 23 | 7 days 2X day | 3/3/2011 | 1 | Cervicitis | Nausea, vomiting, severe headaches, disorientation, metallic taste, insomnia, dark urine, total loss of appetite, terrible irrablity, and many more. | I took Flagyl 500 mg 3 times a day with Cipro 500 mg 2 a day. This combination is terrible! My doc doesn't even know if I truly have cervicitis because I don't have any STD's. I would highly recommend NOT TAKING THIS DRUG EVER! | F | 19 | 14 days 500 MG 3X day | 3/2/2011 | 5 | C. Diff | I'm a little dizzy if I move too quickly. Stomach feels a little upset. But I feel a MILLION times better than I did with untreated C. Diff. I'm on day 5 of 10 and am hopeful this will do the trick. | I was scared to take this after reading some of the reviews. I have a problem w/anxiety... have had no reaction to Flagyl at all. I was more panicked trying to get myself to TRY the dang thing. | F | 35 | 10 days 500 MG 3X day | 2/27/2011 | 4 | Trichomoniasis | Panic attacks and anxiety, stomach pains, headaches, upset stomach, tiredness, general feeling of being ill for at least 2 hrs after each dose, numbness and tingling in the extremities and in my face and neck. | All these symptoms started after starting the Flagyl so it can't be just a coincidence. I have now been off the Flagyl for 2 days and the numbness, tingling and stomach pains are still there. I suffer from panic attacks as it is that come out of nowhere but I would always get one not long after taking the pill each day. It did get rid of my infection but being on that pill was hell and still is! | M | 31 | 7 days 250 MG 2X day | 2/26/2011 Patient History | 4 | BV | Headaches, dizziness, bad taste in mouth, nausea, general feeling of being "out of it" the last couple of days | I only knew I had BV because I got a pap and my doctor told me my bacterial levels were out of whack and it needed to be treated if I was going to try and get pregnant in the next few months (it did explain some periodic bouts of itching over the last year, but they were never anything tragic - just felt like I about to get a yeast infection that would then go away a day later). I really noticed very few side effects of the Flagyl for the first three or four days I was on it, but around the fifth day I noticed I felt a little out of whack while trying to exercise one night, and had to quit 3/4 of the way through my 50 minute workout. The sixth night I had periodic bouts of dizziness while walking around the mall that I chalked up to waiting to long to eat dinner and not having drank anything in several hours (eating did help, but I was also on my couch by then). On the seventh day I noticed a nasty taste in my mouth that lead me to believe I might be getting sick until my husband pointed out it could be the antibiotics (eating and gum helps, but it always comes back). I took my last dose yesterday morning (the eighth day) which was about 29 hours ago and I still feel loopy and out of it, so I'm hoping once the drug is out of my system (I'm under the impression that will be around the 48 hours after taking the last dose) that I'll start to feel more like myself. I'm thinking Flagyl helped (hard to tell since I had few symptoms of BV to start with), but it's a rough course | F | 35 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 2/21/2011 | 4 | diverticulitis | Awful taste in the mouth. Otherwise it's ok. | F | 65 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 2/18/2011 | 3 | Parasites (waiting for stool sample | I have taken this medication for 7 days now and this morning I woke up with stomach pains, back pains, and a severe sore throat to the point that I could not speak. I had trouble drinking water at first due to the extreme dry throat and I can taste blood in my throat....so thats it...Im going to go to the doctor today and stop taking this medication. There have been too many nights of being severely scared from side affects....this one has been the worst though. | I have altogether suffered from a bloated distended stomach, constipation, anxiety, sleep deprivation, really weird flemy bowel movements, Rumbly stomach...felt like something moving inside, and now a sever sore throat..well I stuck to it for 7 days at 500 mg so I think that is good enough! | F | 42 | 7 days 500 3X day | 2/16/2011 Patient History | 5 | bv | I have fast heart beats loss of appitite bad stomach pains tingling in my hands hot flashes always feelin nervous sleepless night itchy red spots although this medicine did work it is horrible with the side effects I will never take this again I will ask for somthing else that is as effictive cuz this has been the worse week of my life | F | 20 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/9/2011 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Difficulty swallowing, head pain, swollen tongue, chest pain, ringing in the ears, biting of the tongue with back teeth, nasuea, lower abdominal pain, etc. | I went to the ER for crucial vaginal itching and burning after having intercourse in 6 YEARS. This was my 1st time in 6 years...I was test for STDs and the Physcian said that I had a lot of discharge (yellow) and called another docter into the room. She said that she as sure that it was an STD. I was told to come back in 3 days for the culture results. While there, I was prescribed 1g of Azithromycin and a shot (I forgot the name) which is used to treat Gonnorhea. The docters felt it best to treat me in case...my cultures came back and they were negative for Onorrhea and Chlamydia. However, I still had the symptoms! While at the ER, another docter said that it could be Bacterial Vaginosis or Trichamonias! He said that there was no test for BV and that physicians went off of the patients symptoms to diagnose...thus, I wasn't given a pelvic exam for Trichmonias either because the docter said that the medicine he was going to prescribe would take care of that if it was present. I was prescribed Flagyl 500 mg 2 x a day for 7 days. I experienced all of the listed symptoms the first 2 days! I discontinued the medication and am awaitng a scheduled appt. With my private Gynecologist. Please note: this medication also causes Seizures and other frieghtening symptoms...I don't think this medication should be administered by ER docters without properly reviewing the patients medical history... | F | 24 | 2 days 500 MG 2X day | 2/9/2011 | 4 | BV | Brown urine, CONSTANT dull headache, feeling of sinus pressure, backaches (around kidneys), lethargy, though no real nausea to speak of (and thats taking it on an empty stomach 4X a day!)Oh, and this pill will ALWAYS start to disintegrate before I can swallow it so it leaves a nasty metallic taste in mouth I have to wash away with water. | Nothing really unbearable, though I am wondering if my dose is excessive. 500mg 4X/day for 14 days seems a bit much for someone who weighs less than 125 lbs. I'm on day 9 & can hardly wait to finish it already. The headaches are insanely annoying. | F | 29 | 14 days 500mg 4X day | 2/5/2011 | 3 | Slight BV | I feel high!!! It's mellow... Today I questioned if I should drive. Just sort of spaced out (it's worse if I don't eat). I am also experiencing slight anxiety, but I would much rather that than the symptoms others are experiencing (geezes). I am not sure if the pills are working to combat my bv yet, it's only day 3, but they have helped me cut back on smoking... I only had one today, usually I smoke 6-12 | I make sure that I eat before, during or just after I down my pills with milk, whether I'm hungry or not. I won't chance drinking on these ones, and I actually cut out Caffeine as well. | F | 27 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/5/2011 | 2 | upper abdomen pain after D&C | horrible migraine headaches, nausea, bad taste in mouth, pain in legs, anxiety, diarrhea, dreams that Justin Bieber is attacking me with a corkscrew | I'm also taking this with cipro and the combination is really making me sick. If I didn't NEED to take this I would ask for a different antibiotic. | F | 28 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/5/2011 | 4 | c-diff | 12 days past last pill. Still taking regular probiotics & Florastor daily. Things are much more normal. I believe C-diff is probably gone. Am eating just about anything (within reason of course). Still not eating sugar (by choice). Energy is returning. | F | 46 | 500mg 1X day | 2/2/2011 Patient History |
