| 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | im on the last of 7days taking this medicine. the only side effect, if you can call it that, is the bad taste the pill leaves in ur mouth. the tast of the pill is horrible. otherwise, i had no symptoms that ive read up here about feeling ill at all. overall, my experience was fine. no side effects what so ever. | i would take it again if i got BV again. i had no problems with it other than the taste. | F | 23 | 7 days | 3/11/2008 | 3 | Giardia cryptosporidium strepticocc | Headaches, tingling on head, disorientation, sensitivity to light or sound, very emotional, a little anxious and depressed, very very tired and body is heavy. Urine retention. Feeling just plain weird and really awful!!!!!! | Had unidentified parasites for 3 years after very severe food poisoning in Venice. Finally found- i did through Metametrix testing (don't bother with stoopid doctor testing- they only test say five cells to metametrix 5000! Also did further testing through doc, once he belived me and it showed up there as well!!) Did 7 days, 3x200mg, was fine. Now doing 7 days 3 x 500mg and certainly feeling side effects. Please email me and tell me if they go away soon after i finish!!!! Really struggling on 3rd day of 2nd lot. It will all be worth it if it goes away, 3 years of extreme gut pain, being afraid of food and feeling generally rotten, its great to have a reason and a cure..hopefully!!! think positive, think positive, think positive haha.......I'll get back to you all once i'm finished! | F | 25 | 7 days | 3/11/2008 | 5 | diverticulitis | Darkened urine, constant metalic taste in mouth, nausea, all of which started immediately after beginning medication. Within a couple of weeks (mega doses of Flagyl and Cipro for six weeks) I began to notice extreme lethargy. Now feel like I can barely climb the stairs,am going to bed very early and am sleeping longer and more soundly than usual. Have decided not to call my physician with these latest effects; have only a week left and because I am feeling so much better, am hoping to stay awake to be able to take the tail end of the medication. | Drug that seems to be working for me, but the side effects are definitely unpleasant. I will not want to take this medication again. | F | 59 | 6 weeks | 2/27/2008 | 3 | C Diff | My legs would feel shaky from time to time & of course metal mouth. Racing heart maybe from infection not sure. Called pharmacy & they said racing heart is not a Flagyl side effect, but after reading this I think it is. I hope this med makes me better. I am praying. | F | 32 | 10 days | 2/26/2008 | 1 | Giardia/ Crohn's | GAS ! BOWEL CRAMPS ! INCREASED BOWEL MOTIONS ! NAUSEA ! this drug tore my gut up. I was supposed to take 3x 400mg per day for 5 days. I only took it for 3 then stopped because of the side effects. | M | 38 | 3 days | 2/26/2008 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginitis | Nausea, Headache, extremely tired, total loss of appetite, flu like symptoms | This is horrible. I am on 500mg 2x's a day. This is day 4 of 7. I can only eat a solid meal about once every other day - the thought of solid food makes me sick. I am living off of soup and orange juice (the only way to kill the taste of this awful medicine). I have NEVER had diarrhea like this before - no solid stools since about Day 2. I didn't have any symptoms of illness initially but was diagnosed at my annual so figured I should clear it up before symptoms appeared. I will never take this medication again! There has to be a better way! | F | 36 | 7 days | 2/22/2008 | 4 | BV | frequent urination, inability to void completely after urination, thrush, dizziness, reddish brown discharge | Was taking one 500mg/twice daily. I almost quit after the first few days because of the frequent urination but stuck with it. I completed the course two days ago and still experiencing frequent urination/w/inability to void completely. I thought I was getting a UTI so went to the dr but results were good. So then I read this site and a couple others that mentioned that as a side effect. Today I developed thrush and sore throat. I am hoping this all goes away soon! | F | 30 | 7 days | 2/21/2008 | 1 | suspected intestinal bug | Panic attacks! I've never had them before in my life and by my last night of my treatment, I couldn't even sleep for the sense of impending doom and rushing adrenaline that has settled in my chest. I'm so glad I found this site and understand that I'm not insane. I can't wait until this is out of my system. | F | 33 | 5 days | 2/21/2008 | 5 | Dental infection | None | Metronidazole and amoxicillin together finally cleared up my dental problems. No side effects - and I am very glad to feel well again. I took yoghurt and a glass of milk every time I took the pills and had no stomach or other problems. | F | 49 | 7 days | 2/12/2008 | 5 | h. pylori | When I began the medicine, i read all the side effects online and it scared me. I thought for sure I was going to be sick with metallic tastes for months and constant nausia. The truth of the matter is... It wassnt so bad, granted I am excited that I only have 1 more dose. In the beginning I did feel nausious and didnt have much of an appetite but I pushed through... I had figured out that about 2 hours after I took the flagyl (along with bioxin and protonix) my stomach would feel a bit grumbly like I might get sick but I didnt. The only complaint, my tounge felt hairy and I had a dry mouth and throat that was very annoying. I'm feeling much better now, last dose in the morning. I just wanted to put something positive on here about the drug. When I first started to take the drug I had convinced myself that I would be really sick for the full 7 days. So far so good! Good luck guys, I hope your results are the same-fill yourself with good chi and positive thoughts! | F | 25 | 7 days | 2/12/2008 | 3 | vaginal infection | the worst symptom is the taste left in your mouth. The Pill is so bitter tasting that it is extremely difficult to swallow. | This was by far the worse medicine I have ever taken. It is hard to say if it is working because I am also taking Cipro and I can't tell which one is clearing up my problem. | F | 41 | 5 days | 2/11/2008 | 4 | bacterial infection | POOPING LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/7/2008 | 3 | diverticulitis | headache, nausea, lack of energy, metallic taste, coated tongue | was on it via IV for 5 days in hospital, now have 3 days left of a 10 day dose at home. It tastes awful, have not felt like doing much of anything. Has helped my infection, tho at this point I am wondering how long till I feel normal? Does this linger after i have stopped the med? I feel like crap most of the day & have not been able to return to work. | F | 47 | 13 days | 2/6/2008 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | frequent dark urination and left a bad taste in mouth | I was told not to use ANY alcohol and to skip out on my mouth wash for the time I was using it. Only because even a little drop of alcohol can make you sick! | F | 22 | 7 days | 2/5/2008 | 4 | BV | I actually am experiencing a side effect that I havent read anyone else write about. I have brown discharge type material. Its not discharge in the sense of leaving stains in my underwear but I can definitely notice it when I am using the restroom. I was wondering how normal this was but apparently not normal at all seeing as how no one else mentioned it. I also experience diarrhea and DEFINITELY gas. I am only on day 3 and am a little concerned because the bottle opened and I lost one pill (oops).. hopes this doesnt mean this whole treatment will be for nothing. | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/2/2008 | 3 | Gum infection | I was prescribed 500mg three times a day for ten days.Took for three days. On third day felt like I had cold water running through my joints. Didn't think anything of it. Next day took first two then as soon as I took third felt like I'd had a stroke.I couldn't speak my face had gone numb and I felt like it had dropped to one side. I was dizzy felt sick and extremely frightened with a feeling of impending doom.I rang the emergency doctor and he said I had had a very rare reaction to it and couldn't take it again. Thank God | Have had many times before without any side effects and sometimes it worked sometimes not.I never want to see this drug again let alone take it! | M | 55 | 3 days | 1/29/2008 | 1 | BV | HORRIBLE PANIC ATTACKS. I thought I was going insane. | F | 23 | 5 days | 1/29/2008 | 4 | Giardia | Metalic taste, didn't sleep well. Took 750mg of Flagyl three times a day with 400mg Albenza once a day. Hard on your gut. Take with food or lots of liquid. | Flagyl is nasty stuff, but it seems to have worked. 10 days of medicne to get rid of chronic giardia was worth it. No alcohol or hand sanitizers during use and for three days after. | M | 50 | 10 days | 1/24/2008 | 4 | Trich | Irritation at the tip of penis on the third night, which continued until the end of the week’s Rx and for another week thereafter, slowly disappearing. | No nausea, pain or other effects except brown urine. | M | 41 | 7 days | 1/24/2008 | 3 | BV | Nausea, headache, feeling really sad (started on 4th day), some stomach pain (much better than what I was feeling before though), eye twitching (not sure if it is coming from the med or just coincidence) | I am supposed to take this for 7 days, twice a day (500 mg) but I don't know if I'm going to keep taking it the entire time. I was recently diagnosed with partial myoclonic seizures, and am afraid it might make them worse once more gets in my system. My doctor and pharmacist said it wouldn't, that they had never heard of that, but still scary. The depression today is really bad...just want to cry a lot for no real reason. This medicine just has so many bad side effects I'm suprised it's given so often. | F | 22 | 7 days | 1/24/2008 |
