| 4 | BV | Days 1-3 Irritable digestive system, fatigue, dark urine Days 3-5 All of the above plus burning sensation when urinating, Day 6 All of the above plus depression, anxiety, massive headaches, joint aches | I'm satisfied because the drug worked by clearing up the infection, but the side effects were awful. I was supposed to take it for 7 days but the nurse told me to forgo the last 2 pills. | F | 28 | 6 days 500 mg 2X day | 11/22/2010 | 2 | BV | nausea, loss of appetite and rapid weight loss (8 lbs in 7 days), unable to sleep, unable to concentrate, disturbing thoughts, anxiety, paranoia, depression | This medicine did get rid of my BV, but I have never been so miserable in my life. I have been paranoid that everyone is mad at me or trying to get me, freaking out on my roommate/boyfriend/family about everything, having to force myself to drink a protein shake a day (I can't eat anything), and crying myself to sleep every night for the past week. I've never had ANY signs of depression/anxiety/paranoia/anorexia before this medicine. Worst week of my life. | F | 21 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 11/22/2010 | 2 | diverticulitis | This he is the 2nd time on this med. and I have felt horrible both times. I feel sickly in a different way. Head ache, dry itchy eye,dizzy,appetite loss, weak, shakey. | The 1st diverticulitis attack i had I was rushed to the ER. The hospital gave me IV of flagl and a prescription of it also. Talk about a double wammy!! Helped my diverticulitis, but got a yeast infection and thrush!! Along with bad tummy, dizziness, just felt like crap. I told my husband it tastes horrible and nicknamed it the ASS PILL!! (Had to have some humor). had another div. attack and refused to take the pill again. Dr gave me cipro. iv. went away and came back again 2 months later. Again the dr gave me flagl and cipro. I decided to try it again. The diverticulitis subsided, but the flagl is putting me through hell again. So far no yeast infection or thrust, but I feel so ill from the other side effects. I am seriously thinking about the surgury because I cant take this anymore. | F | 49 | 10 days 250 mg 3X day | 11/21/2010 | 1 | Vaginal Infection | EXTREME Nausea. Light Headed. Appetite loss. Stomach. Shaking. Constipation. Metallic Taste. | Well it did the job, but i think the side effects made me feel way worse than i felt before. :( My first day back at work i couldnt concentrate i felt horrible. i would not recommend this to anyone. | F | 20 | 5 days 500 Mg 2X day | 11/18/2010 | 1 | suspect ed C difficile | I took the medication in the evening and when I woke up I started experiencing severe nausea and malaise. I called the doctor and he told the medicine was reknown for its severe side effects. He suggested I stopped using it but i decided to continue. THe nausea persisted every morning and then it got better. On the 3rd day i developed an acidic taste in my mouth after food and occasional tingling sensation in my body. 1 day after i finished the medication i started developing soft stools, panic attacks, tremors, extreme anxiety, acid reflux, malaise. The side effects are severe even after the treatment. I hope they don't take too long to subdue. | I must be highly allergic to this medication and it appears that many people who have used have experienced similar symptoms. The stool test is negative but i would have adopted for another form of antibitioc to treat my infection such as rifaximin. | F | 35 | 7 days 400 mg 2X day | 11/17/2010 | 3 | c-diff | Awful fatigue, weakness, increased joint pain, difficulty concentrating at work and of course the taste of metal! | F | 60 | 20 days 500 mg 3X day | 11/16/2010 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Awful...took with Cipro and had stroke-like symptoms: acute brain function loss (confused and dazed, unable to communicate, severe mentation decrease, balance problems, blurred vision, terrible metallic taste, numbness and tingling: lips and nose. | Was treated for diverticulitis in June. Continue to have some brain function issues. This drug was awful for me! | M | 59 | 11 days 1000 2X day | 11/16/2010 | 3 | METRONIDAZOLE | I have just recently come off flagyl, 3 days ago I still feel very tired and my eyes feel sore and dry. However it has worked. I found the tablets really hard to swollow and the only thing that helped was to take it with cranberry juice. I have been taken multi vitamins liquid form, it does help and cranberry vitamins help with urine infections. I really hope my energy picks up soon and my eyes stop hurting! | F | 35 | 3 days 1X day | 11/12/2010 | 1 | bv | sore throat, runny nose, hot and cold flashes, dizzy, racing heart,burning skin, anxiety, stomach pain. i am on day 5 of 7 and the anxiety, stomach pain and burning skin didnt kick in until just now. i am on my cell phone and found this website while looking up metronidazole cuz i feel horrible. | Will never take this again, cleared infection but will look for other options next time. | F | 22 | 7 days 500 2X day | 11/12/2010 | 1 | diverticulitis | blured vision, nausea, vommiting, headaches, loss of appetite, fatgued, dizziness, anxiety, muscle pain, dry itchy skin, stomach pain, insomnia! I am also on 750mg of levaquin | I HATE THIS DRUG!!! My doctor had me on it for one week and when I followed up with him he said I needed to take it for another week and also I needed to double up on this crap! 2 pills of flagyl 4 times a day and 1 pill of levaquin a day! OMG are you kidding! WTF?? I have 2 more days left to take my meds and I have decided NO MORE!!! I can't take the side effects any longer! Today I almost went back to the ER because of the stomach pain and vomiting! I am sick of being sick! This is my 5th flare up with diverticulitis and I am only 38! The doctor is planing on surgery but I told him he will have to wait! My husband is deployed and I am all by myself. On top of all that he also wants to take my gal bladder out! I can only hope for the best! | F | 38 | 14 days 250mg 4X day | 11/9/2010 | 1 | Colitis | Nausea, acid reflux, heart burn, depression, dry mouth, horrible taste in mouth, constipation, dizziness. | I was put on this due to what my doctors thought was colitis. Turns out i didn't have it. After 4 days i couldn't take it any more and stopped taking it. This drug is horrible and wouldn't reccomend anyone taking this. | F | 20 | 4 days 500 3X day | 11/8/2010 | 3 | diverticulitis | Severe headache within 1/2 hour of taking medication, metal mouth, dry mouth, terrible taste in mouth, hair loss, heart palpitations | Was prescribed along with Cipro originally for 2 weeks. Identified flagyl as causing the headaches, bad taste and dry mouth. Due to improvement in symptoms, MD allowed me to D/C flagyl after 1 week. Continuing on Cipro, no side effect at all. Taste, metal mouth and hair loss improving after only off for 24 hours. Hair loss was most surprising as not identified as a side effect. Was losing literally 100's of hairs in the shower each evening, again only off flagyl for 24 hours and noticed a significant decrease in the loss of hair. Anyone else have hair loss while taking flagyl or coincidental?? Anyway, the side effects, while uncomfortable, not intolerable, and did help improve my condition. | F | 45 | 7 days 2X day | 11/7/2010 | 4 | BV | Bad taste in mouth | I've taken this drug at least twice before. I don't have any side effects other than the nasty taste in my mouth. A stick of gum takes care of that though. | F | 47 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 11/5/2010 | 3 | bacterial infection | were do i start - nausea, vomitting, acid and burning in stomach, numb and tingling fingers, sore throat and on 6 day i have now got red spots all over stomach arms and back.... | This is the worst tablet I have ever experienced and I dont do sick... Total lifelessness and sick feeling I genually have worried as to if normal but on reading seems so... last day tomorrow and I dont know if I can take... hope infection gone | F | 39 | 7 days 400 3X day | 11/1/2010 | 1 | blastocysts/parasites | see above | CONTINUED FROM ABOVE: . Unfortunately, there has been NO respite from the pain and discomfort. Bloating, pain, discomfort...you know when you have j u s t that little too much turkey dinner and at its peak (which lasts for a short time) you think/pray you will die? I have felt that way all week! Nightsweats, no concentration, I have to walk/step carefully because ALL movement discombobulates EVERYTHING below the sternum - like someone shoved a broom up my bottom. I can barely walk my dog, and I have exams this friday that have not had a whit of studying for, for 2 weeks. I have a fruitfly infestation because I can't do the few dishes I have dirtied. I have virtually stopped eating, and I have lost 15 pounds. Tonight is my last dose - and the only reason I am going to suffer it this last time is because I have The Fear of God that the little beggars are not gone. I'm not much for 'an eye for an eye', but if I could give my first Dr. (you know, the asshat) who misdiagnosed me and subjected me to an additional couple of weeks of unnecessary pain everything I have gone through....IN A NEW YORK SECOND. | F | 36 | 7 days 500mg 3X day | 11/1/2010 | 2 | diverticulitis | same as everyone else - horrid metallic taste in mouth, extreme fatigue even upon waking in morning, sweating, feel like fainting, loss of appetite, stomach ache, no taste, etc. | This drug is wretched but I am happy to know I am not alone in my experience. I thought I was going to die from the diverticulitis pain/fever and now this! Today is my last day on the Flagyl/Cipro combo. My dr also says Augmentin next time. I won't take Flagyl again. I found relief with high dose probiotics. They really helped. | F | 48 | 10 days 250 mg 3X day | 10/27/2010 | 5 | BV | dizziness. fatigue. nauseousness/stomach upset. depression. anxiety. frequent urination. loss of appetite. | Didn't have a decent night's sleep the whole week I was on the antibiotic..yet I've never felt so tired in my entire life. I also felt very light-headed & dizzy while taking it. No appetite either. Despite all of the negative side effects, it seems to be clearing up my infection. Still have 2 more days to go though, so we'll see. | F | 20 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 10/25/2010 | 3 | Parasites / amoeba | Bloating, gas, loss of appetite, weight loss, cloudy-headed, fatigued | The medicine seemed to irritate my stomach to the point that I couldn't tell if my stomach was churning because of the amoeba or the drug. It's hard to tell if your condition is improving when you take this drug. The doctor recommended I take this drug for a second round because I was still experiencing stomach pains, though in retrospect I wonder if the pains were just residual pain from the first round! still, I've been able to go to work and more or less live normally, just that my stomach won't calm down and I've lost more weight than I would like. | M | 36 | 5 days 500 MG 3X day | 10/25/2010 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | Nothing serious except exhaustion | Haven't really had any side effects thus far except for being extremely tired. I'm the type of person who can work long days on 6 or less hours of sleep so I really don't get "exhausted". This antibiotic did make me very very very tired- I've been sleeping like 10 hours a night. Still have four days to go, though. So we will see. It has already made my BV much much much better! I still have some BV symptoms but it feels a hell of a lot better than when I was at the doctor for this mess. But I guess you pick your poison- have a BV that can get worse or suck it up and take the meds. | F | 20 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 10/24/2010 | 5 | bacterial vaginitis | dark urine with unusual odor | Flagyl worked beautifully for me. No metallic taste or any other side effect other than dark urine that had an unusual odor. Considering that the BV smelled like fish in a litter box, it was a big improvement. It cleared up my infection right away. Understandably, people are much more likely to post a rating if they had a bad experience, but it was perfect for me. | F | 54 | 7 days 2X day | 10/13/2010 |
