| 5 | bv | none | cleared up infection; so side effects | F | 34 | 7 days 750 mg 1X day | 8/22/2010 | 1 | diverticulitis | I was taking docxcycline and flagyl...I was miserable--I was dizzy, nauseous, fatigue, periodic irregular heartbeat and rapid heartbeat, vision not right (felt like my eye motion was slowed), unsteady on my feet, felt slow mentally, metallic taste (water tastes nasty!), increased anxiety (which I am already on meds for!), dark urine. Not fun. I'm hoping it worked on my diverticulitis because there is no way I'm going back on this drug. Took my last dose yesterday and I still feel awful. Hoping the symptoms subside. | If you have other options besides Flagyl, take them! I am allergic to many antibiotics so don't have many choices. | F | 46 | 7 days 500mg 3X day | 8/20/2010 | 1 | PID | Flagyl is the most HORRIBLE thing i have ever taken in my life,, since i started it i am vomiting, it has a horrible taste and it makes my mouth feel wierd tastes....this thing makes me feel more sick than i am, i hate it... | F | 20 | 500 2X day | 8/20/2010 | 1 | diverticulitis | Taking with Bactrim. Severe dehydration, red hot face, hot flashes, light headedness, nausea, and diarrhea. Ended up in the hospital due to severe dehydration, but Dr. wants me to stay on it--just drink more water. Food tastes like crap and water tastes even worse. Not a fun time. 5 days to go. Can't wait for the hallucinations. | Seems like "overkill" to use this drug for a chronic but only mildly bothersome stomach issue which may or may not be diverticulitis. PS: Don't do this while on a beach vacation! | F | 50 | 5 days 500 4X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | Tooth infection | Horrendous headpains, feeling spaced out, dizzy and nauseous. | Infection still present ...suffered for nothing. | F | 45 | 5 days 200mg 4X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Starters...I had BAD mood change. Almost Bipolar. No sexual desire. AWFUL headaches. Anxiety, depression, paranoia. I thought I was pregnant because of how bad the nausea was. Stomach cramps. Loss of appetite. Dizziness. Kind of Air-headed. On the 3rd day, I woke up with a bad rash on my feet. I refuse to ever take this drug again. | Just don't do it... | F | 20 | 3 days 500 2X day | 8/15/2010 | 3 | perenial abcess | feel like a zombie, on my fourth day, hot one minute cold the other, cant sleep but tired, irratable and grumpy, cant wait for them 2 end, but at least it seems to have prevented surgery at the moment. | total loss of appitite, but need to eat with tablets. the thought of food makes me wanna be sick. | F | 33 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 8/13/2010 | 3 | giardia | metallic taste in mouth, diarrhea. Got violently ill, throwing up for 3-4 hours when combined w/ the vitamins I've been taking for years. This happened even after I was done with the prescription. Did NOT happen if I didn't take my vitamins. So I strongly suspect a connection. | first time I've ever taken it. | M | 52 | 5 days 250 3X day | 8/12/2010 | 1 | diverticulitis | lethargy, loss of appetite, dry mouth, mood change, dark urine, diarrhea, muscular pain | I'm taking flagyl together with cipro, and this is the worst feeling ever. Immediately after taking the meds, i feel nausea, and have no appetite, then just as the nausea goes away it's time to take my next dose. My entire body feels tired, however i can't fall asleep. | F | 32 | 10 days 3X day | 8/12/2010 | 4 | C DIFF AFTER ANTIBIOTICS AFTER SURG | Sensitive to smell, decreased appetite, headache, fatigue, dark urine | On 8th day, helped with diaherrea from 10 bm to 2 per day. Didn't help til 3-4 days. Had two glasses of wine on 5th day with dinner so listen to warning regarding no alcohol.Will be glad to be off, but better than c diff which was miserable and kept me running to the toilet. Space doses out and use bland diet, Club crackers and gingerale help and now taking probotics to help. | F | 51 | 10 days 500 3X day | 8/10/2010 | 4 | BV | nausea started on the 3rd day and lasted for a few days after medication, stomach ache, dizziness, fatigue, vaginal bleeding, excessive discharge, loss of appetite, metallic taste, fast heartbeat, restlessness, mood swings | This medicine has the worst side effects I've ever experienced. I couldn't function well that I had to be absent for work on the latter part of my medication. I'm done with the 7 days, but I still feel nauseated. I feel like I wanna cry. I'm never taking this again! | F | 25 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/10/2010 | 3 | bv | nasty taste ...dark urine..very tired...chest pain..vomitting | this medicine makes me not want to be cured its so nasty i cant even swallow... today i waisted 2pills i swallowed 1 and threw it back up and then tried it again with another pill and it came rite back up,,,its very nasty dont take it | F | 18 | 2 weeks 4X day | 8/10/2010 | 1 | C. Diff | Dark urine (brown and cloudy), nausea and vomitting, diarrhea, stomach cramps. | This is the worse drug ever. I think the only reason it is perscribe is because insurance companies do not want to pay for the better Vancomycin (at least 50 times the price of Flagyl but, 1000 times better). I say pay the higher price to avoid these side effects. I swear the symptoms got worse once I started the Flagyl. Day 4 the dark urine started, Nasues on day 5 and I started vomitting on day 7. My physician had the audacity to suggest I remain on the drug for the entire 14 days. Screw you buddy, give me the Vancomycin. | M | 32 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 8/9/2010 | 4 | BV | Diarhhea, mild bloating. | I'm sensitive to meds. & after reading these posts got nervous. Have little to no side effects. I'm wondering if many people aren't feeling effects of the illness or possible interactions with other drugs and or alcohol. You need to eat a full meal with the dose. Space the doses as far apart as possible to reduce side effects. If taking 2 daily doses, space them 12 hours apart. | F | 53 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 8/7/2010 | 1 | BV | fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrea,racing heart, anxiety, panic attacks | I wasn't warned about this medication properly but i was just informed that some of these side eff. anxiety, racing heart are signs of an allergic reaction you should seek medical attention. I was informed to stop taking it immediately and I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor about a change in medication. | F | 28 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/6/2010 | 4 | c-diff infection | horrible taste in mouth, gagging while trying to swallow it the first round of taking it. The next time I was given capsules not pills and they went down way easier. | In Canada, Flagyl 500 mg is available as capsules as well as pills. Well worth the extra cost. | F | 47 | 10 days 500 mg 3X day | 8/4/2010 | 4 | BV | Nausea, vomiting, loose stools, metallic taste, fatigue | Got pretty sick the second night after taking it but eating yoghurt and taking a gravol half an hour before the dose seems to help. Can't wait for it to be over, but worth it to clean out the infection. | F | 21 | 5 days 500 2X day | 8/3/2010 | 1 | Vaginal infection | EXTREME back/kidney pain, hurts to take a deep breath | POISON ~ First warning on insert "Long-term use of this medicine has caused cancer in mice and rats". Why would my Dr perscribe this drug??? | F | 53 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 8/3/2010 | 4 | suspected giardiasis | Given the symptoms of Giardiasis are mostly the same as the listed side effects of Flagyl, it's hard to say whether my mild symptoms are the medication or the parasite. However, I don't have a fever anymore, I've stopped burping, I'm less nauseated and the bloating has diminished, so my guess: it's working. | Giardiasis is way worse, I'm going to keep taking it until it's gone. | F | 44 | 5 days 250 3X day | 8/2/2010 | 4 | BV/Giarda | Nausea, tiredness, itchy eyes, nasty taste in mouth. | It worked in the first few days to clear the BV but it caused extreme fatigue and nausea, especially by the 5th day. This was lessened by taking it on a full stomach. I would take it again if I had to. | F | 27 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 7/31/2010 |
