| 3 | Jaw bone infection | Very lethargic, ill feeling all day like I was slowly being poisoned, nauseaous,clumsy, could not focus, bad taste in mouth, loose stool & Insomnia on the 3rd day. | After the 2nd day of taking 500 mg 3x a day with A 500 mg Amoxicillin I was feeling awful but the Antibiotic Flagyl worked well on the infection but I felt like I was dying so by the 4th day I had to stop taking it. It's a good antibiotic if you can get get thru the course of treatment with all the side effects. | F | 36 | 4 days | 3/27/2009 | 4 | bv | Nausea,irritability, crying for no reason, hot flashes, trouble sleeping, dizziness, headache. | So far it's clearing up the infection, had been treated for yeast previously with no end to symptoms, finally a solution. I had concerns since I am breastfeeding my 2 yr old who only nurses at night, so they gave me the cream and said it is okay. What can I do. | F | 34 | 5 days | 3/23/2009 | 1 | bv | horrible taste in mouth, sick feeling all the time, trouble sleeping | I will never ever take this drug again. | F | 39 | 7 days | 3/22/2009 | 5 | Diverticulitis | dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, severe fatigue, shakiness | I was in the hospital for 5 days with IV meds due to perforation from diverticulitis. Eventhough I did get side effects, I actually get worse from Cipro, I still took it. I figured the benefits outweighed the risks. | F | 57 | 15 days | 3/21/2009 | 1 | had c-diff after dr. misdiagnosis | I was in the hospital in the Fall of 2007, put on Flagyl for c-diff. As a result, I now have permanent peripheral neuropathy that is extremely painful. | The medication was taken off the market for years as a carcinogen, now it's back because it is cheaper than vancomycin. It destroyed my entire gastrointestinal system and gave me permanent peripheral neuropathy. TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET!!!!!!!! | F | 58 | 10 days | 3/15/2009 | 1 | BV | first was just the metallic taste & diarrhea.then it was indigestion & i felt like i was always spaced-out.then i had headaches,dizziness/spinning & rapid heartbeat.I was rushed to the ER & i was pregnant then.the er dr still suggested that i continue taking flagyl..UNBELIEVABLE,RIGHT?!so,i called the midwife on duty & she told me to stop it & if I still had the syptoms of bv then there's always an alternative like the gels/creams.soon as i stopped,the side-effects went away. | F | 34 | 3 days | 3/13/2009 | 5 | BV | Headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and I did feel depressed. I didn't like the taste, but I dealt with it, because I wanted to be cured. | This medicine relieved me of all my symptoms almost immediately. | F | 32 | 6 days | 3/10/2009 | 5 | bv | Low concentration during the day, anxiousness, deep sleep which is one thing I did not mind, bad metalic taste, slight weight gain, loose stool. | (sigh)...I'm so glad that I am on my last day! This does work but I hope and pray that I will never have to take it again. | F | 35 | 7 days | 3/7/2009 | 5 | BV | Increased hunger, hot and cold flashes, bloated, stomach aches - cramps, deep sleep, extreme thirst, headaches and disgusting after taste from pill. | 1 tablet, twice a day for 7 days. Also given diflucan to take on day 8 to prevent possible yeast infection caused by antibiotic (Flagyl). | F | 28 | 7 days | 3/3/2009 | 1 | BV | no appetite, horrible anxiety, hyper manic state, trouble sleeping, tingling in hands and feet, panic attacks | I am SO glad I found this site and the other comments- I thought I was going crazy!! While the infection cleared up there has to be a better med because I feel awful! Haven't slept or eaten much in the past 4 days! | F | 42 | 7 days | 2/27/2009 | 3 | C DIFF | Extreme nausea, heavy metallic taste in mouth, very fatigued, feel shaky on my feet, difficulty concentrating, no appetite | It's working to stop the C. Diff diarrhea but the side effects are pretty brutal. I am on my 2nd 10 day 500mg/3X day dose and it is just awful. | M | 35 | 20 days | 2/26/2009 | 5 | BV | Dizziness, Confusion, bloated, stomach pains, shaky, Headaches, sleepiness, hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety | Taking the generic version of this medicine metronidazole 500mg.. It works by helping clearing the infection, but the side effects of the Medicine are the worst. Well its just seven days thats going to pass anyway..It just sucks that you have to be sick to your stomache for that duration of time. | F | 32 | 7 days | 2/25/2009 | 3 | C. diff | The first day, I only had the metallic taste side effect and felt very optimistic that this drug would be fine for me. By the end of the second day, my urine had darkened and I was starting to feel waves of nausea but I am tough so I just decided to ride it out. The third day, I woke to slight tingling in my feet and one of my hands had fallen asleep (it quickly "woke up"), but I took my morning dose anyway. By mid-day, my hands had also started intermittently tingling, just like my feet. I couldn't get a hold of my doctor so I called my pharmacist and he told me that the tingling should only occur after long-term use--that perhaps it was the power of suggestion in the drug info sheet that was making me think I felt tingling. So I took my afternoon dose. By the early evening, I felt EXTREME nausea, and the tingling had become constant and somewhat painful (like prickly/burning), and it had traveled up into my calves and thighs. I have been instructed to stop the medication so | Was prescribed 500mg 3x/day for 10 days, but was advised by my doctor to stop on day 3 due to side effects. Am also taking 10mg acidophilus pills 8x/day, and my regular birth control pill. | F | 27 | 3 days | 2/25/2009 | 4 | bv | loose stool, fatigue, nausea, headache, very weak | It worked really fast but i was sick to my stomach and very weak the whole time oh and loose stool which is embarrassing when live in a small apt with 2 other people! | F | 20 | 7 days | 2/21/2009 | 5 | giardia | only the slight metallic taste. big deal...chew some gum! | OMG...are you people seriously crazy or just hypochondriacs??? All these side effects you claim are completely rediculous!!! | M | 30 | 10 days | 2/20/2009 | 1 | diverticulitis | worst was heavy metalic taste in mouth. The other symptoms can be dealt with but the complete 10 days of drug 500mg has been over for seven days. My question to drug company which they can not or will not answer is WILL THE METALIC TASTE EVER GO AWAY. | CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THE METALIC TASTE EVER GOES AWAY. WALGREENS PHARM SAYS HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF MORE THAN 72 HOURS. IT IS NOW GOING ON EIGHT DAYS AND ITS THERE NIGHT AND DAY. I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG AGAIN. | F | 65 | 10 days | 2/19/2009 | 4 | BV | extreme tiredness, weepiness, nausea, lack of appetite. bad aftertaste | I will do anything I can to avoid this medication in the future. I have been on Flagyl four times and the side effects keep getting worse each time. | F | 54 | 7 days | 2/16/2009 | 4 | gum infection | slight nausea (better if taken with lots of food), light headedness, nasty thick metallic taste in mouth, lethagy, taking for 4 days | did help infection but side effects are a pain. 200mg 3 times per day | F | 41 | 5 days | 2/8/2009 | 1 | bv | abdominal cramping, metallic taste | This stuff sucks | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/7/2009 | 3 | BV | loss of appetite, loss of weight, anxiety attacks at night, nasty taste in mouth, loose stools, and depression | It did clear up the BV infection. | F | 28 | 7 days | 2/6/2009 |
