| 3 | c-diff | panic attacks, dizziness, naseau, anxiety, vomitting, bad taste in mouth | Didn't work for c-diff, had to start taking vancomycin | F | 37 | 10 days | 10/9/2007 | 1 | crohns | pani.paranoia,illusions,anger | my mental health was great till i take this pill | M | 30 | 4 days | 10/1/2007 | 1 | c-diff | horrible metalic taste in my mouth. lose of appetite. lost 25 lbs from 7/5 trur 9/27 | I don't know yet if the bacteria is out of my system. Doctor should have told me of the seriousness. I contracted the illness while in for minor outpatient surgery on 7/5. Failed to tell me anything when I was brought by ambulance to the hospital on 7/8. I should have been on an antibiotic for 2 weeks. only took it for 1 week not knowing anything, just an error. then it came back and now I'm on Flagyl for 6 weeks! At $145 a week and no insurance! a real tragedy. I'm also taking friendly bacteria from my homeopathic doctor, doing coffee enamas, too. Wish me luck! | F | 62 | 30 days | 9/28/2007 | 3 | Crohns | Nausea,Fatigue,headahes,light headed,loss of appetite and dark unrine also my tongue is affected, ruff and discoloured. | So far my symptoms have become better by about 50%. This is good but i think the idea is for it to dissapear 100%. Taking 6MP as well. At this stage i've become the ginie pig we all become at some stage. P.S I really hope this works for us all, 2 tablets a day is fine with me! | F | 25 | 2 months | 9/25/2007 | 2 | Vaginal Cuff Infection | My stomach hurts so badly, I feel sick,tired, I have a woozy headache feeling, light headed, out of sorts, weak, tired but slightly wired (probably from the Cipro I am taking as well) | I am taking 100 mg/day of Flagyl & 1000 mg / day of Cipro - for 10 days UGH! This is the second time in that I have been on this combination since my Hysterectomy 6 mos ago. I am wondering if bacteria is becoming resistant and I am suffering needlessly! | F | 34 | 2 days | 9/24/2007 | 4 | C Diff | Severe nausea 24/7. Bad taste in mouth, "furry" tongue. Bloating. Depression and tireness. I've been off two days and still have the nausea and bad taste. When will it go away? | This was the longest 14 days of my life. I hated this drug but figured I had to finish it. I strongly recommend buying empty gelatin capsules, size 00, to put pill into so you won't taste it. I also took probiotics 1/2 hour before the Flagyl. The C diff was from Clindamycin for lingual tonsillitis. Yesterday, one day after finishing Flagyl, I had another bout of diarrhea. I am hoping it was from introducing certain foods back into my diet too soon. I haven't had a problem today. If I have to repeat this again, I heard Zofran is available in a generic form. I wonder if this would help the nausea. I missed a lot of work because of it. | F | 50 | 14 days | 9/22/2007 | 1 | Guardia after Hysterectomy | Nausea, insomnia (can't fall asleep til way after midnight), fatigue (so tired all morning), dillusional, depressed. | I started taking this on a Tuesday morning, and by Thursday afternoon I was depressed, not myself and jittery. On Friday I finally said this is enough. I am so tired and want to cry over nothing.....doc says that I should stop, but he has never heard of anyone getting these symptoms....well I wasn't like this BEFORE I started taking it!!! Maybe it doesn't effect most people like that, but it did me.....opt for the vaginal cream for you ladies! I can't because of my hysterectomy. Email me if you had similiar effects! | F | 33 | 7 days | 9/21/2007 | 5 | C diff | Flushing of face, low grade fever, feelings of impending doom, hopelessness (I am a very positive person generally), not suicidal but thinking that being dead would bring some peace, HORRIBLE taste in my mouth and coated yellow/white tongue. | Been on this for 10 days and my dr. prescribed it for 14. I'm trying to make it through the 14 because the c. diff was so awful I don't want to relapse. I've never had a reaction to a drug before EVER and this is just horrible. Called the doctor and he said I'm fine, just keep taking it. | F | 62 | 10 days | 9/18/2007 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | diarrhea/loose, discolored stool, nausea, headache, don't be too active you'll get even more nauseus! | It made my BV better, but the side effects are terrible. It makes me extremely nauseus whenever I take it...I have yet to vomit but sometimes I think I might feel better if I do! Gross discolored stool that's extremely loose/diarrhea. I also am noticing that whenever I am active I'll get very sick to my stomach, so if you are experiencing nausea as a symptom...it's probably best to refrain from any physical activity! | F | 19 | 7 days | 9/18/2007 | 1 | c-Diff | Have never been sicker in my life. Two weeks of diarrhea, cramps, extreme fatigue, nausea, runny nose, horrible headaches. There MUST be an alternative drug other than Vancomyacin, which, from my pharmacist was $1500.00 (Yes, Fifteen Hundred Dollars) which was not an option for me on a fixed income, my co=pay would have been $1456. I really asked God to go ahead and let me die if I was not going to get any better. I lost 10 pounds, cut myself off from society for 2 weeks, a feeling of hopelessness and helpnessness that I would never get better. The worst experience, medically, I have ever had, including a heart attack and bypass surgery. | Had 2-10 day scrips. Had 4 more days worth of pills (1500 mg, 3 X a day) was at breaking point. Quit taking the pills, was able to eat something for first time in 2 weeks, slept through the night, 4 days to get rid of side effects. Will not ever subject myself to that again. | F | 70 | 16 days | 9/18/2007 | 3 | Clamidia | Tired, psychotic, diareha, etc. | F | | 9/16/2007 | 1 | intestinal bug | Nauea Bad constapation/pain in lower abdomen which have never left me. It basicly paralised my ileum and gave me small intestinall motiliy.(yes it screwd my digestive system perminently) | I had a Blasto and D fragilis infection which gave me a burning sensation in the lower guts. After about 4 days on 400mg X 4 a day I got alot of pressure/constaption/pain in the lower abdomen. It basically never left me. MOnths later I had a pill cam which showed no disease but lengthy transit time in the ileum (small inststinal motility). Im certain metronidazole is the cuase. Anyone with similar symptoms to myself please email me. | M | 31 | 10 days | 9/15/2007 | 5 | BV | After taking the first dose I became very drowsy and the next day had lots of gas followed by loose stools and headaches/nausea. | What has helped is to eat a big meal or peanutbutter snack. Take with food and fluids. Also probiotics like lactobacillus I got over the counter at wallmart. The flagyl takes out good & bad bacteria in the intestional tract so you must replace the good bacteria with (acidophyllis/lactobacillus) and the gas & loose stools go away.This will help you get thru this ordeal while you are taking flagyl. | F | 44 | 7 days | 9/6/2007 | 4 | diverticulitis | abdominal pains and cramping, dark stools, nasty metallic taste | The worst side effect is the abdominal pain. It is in a different area then the pain associated with diverticulitis. It feels like an ache in the groin area. The more I take the pills, the worse the cramps. Food does not help. It takes away the infection but there must be a better pill to treat this that does not have these side effects. | F | 53 | 7 days | 9/4/2007 | 1 | Diverticulitis | dizzines(in bed),feverish,restlessness,nausea, vomiting,mental fog,crampy,joint pain,irritable. Don't take ambien with this drug, as I did not sleep for 5 days,(insomnia) and only took ambien twice.Plus as you experience insomia with ambien you don't want to close your eyes. (its a stange trip). | I never in all my healthy life, was made to feel that I was going to die. This is not a joke. Please consider alternate med's as no-one should experience the pain and suffering you have read about. If anyone has had success in taking this drug for any prescribed length of time please post your comments. | M | 41 | 10 days | 9/4/2007 | 2 | For a supposed intestinal infection | Dizziness, lightheadedness, upset stomach, disoriented, very very tired | I was given this medication after describing to my gastroenterologist how i was feeling. I have a history of ulcerative colitis that has NOT been active, i had mild colitis for 2 months and was prescribed Flagyl. This is only my 3rd day and i feel so horrible. I feel like crying my stomach hurts so much, and constantly running to the bathroom. Everything i eat goes right through me. Ugg. Horrible!! | F | 44 | 3 days | 9/2/2007 | 2 | Intestinal parasites | Anxiety, nervousness, depression, urinary retention, constipation, numbness in right arm, general malaise | It does not seem to have helped the gut problem | M | 50 | 10 days | 8/28/2007 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | almost all the GI symptoms, nausea, cramping stomach, headache, gassy but cant get it out wicked wicked! I had taken this medicine about 5 years ago and it was wicked evil then too i missed a few days of work the stomach pains were so bad! I hoped seeing as this is $8 and the Metrogel is $100 that maybe i just took it wrong. NOPE! | This time around the side effects started 1 day or so into the treatment. I had to call into work which really upset me because I only have like 5 shifts this whole month. Stuff makes me sicker than a dog... here i was trying to avoid spending $100 and instead lost over that in lost wages. Do yourself a favor and take the vaginal one, ive never had a problem with that. This is worse than the flu | F | 26 | 4 days | 8/26/2007 | 2 | vaginal infection | immediately after I took the drug I started with diarreah. There was also blood in it. I did not think anything of it but 3 days into the medicine my stomach was killing me, I felt paranoid, dellusional, disoriented, . Could not say if the diarreah was from the medicine since I had already had loose stools. But did feel burning sensation on arms, my body felt very heavy. | F | 39 | 5 days | 8/26/2007 | 2 | isues from another antibiotic | Constant nausea, headache/head-pressure, unable to stay asleep, unable to get back to sleep, frequent urination, strong sense of impending doom, extreme fatigue, tingling in arms and fingers, horrible metallic taste, chest pressure, shoulder tightness, slight feverish sensations | I'm on day four of a a 10 day course, and I don't think I can tolerate these side effects - especially the mental issues and fatigue. I'm able to work, but I feel like I'm on auto-pilot. It takes a lot of willpower to eat. I have no appetite and no energy. This medication makes me feel like I have another and much more serious medical condition. It feels like what I imagine encephalitis or West Nile Virus would feel like. I will call my doctor in the morning to see if I can stop taking it. | M | 42 | 4 days | 8/26/2007 |
