| 3 | UTI | Extreme fatigue, drowsiness, lightheadedness, foggy head, confusion, lack of coordination, motion sickness, nausea, loss of appetite, metallic taste, fast heart rate, hallucinations, mood swings, anxiety, depression, itchiness | I am currently on day 4 of the medication. I didn’t realize until the second day that the instructions are twice a day and not once a day, and then I realized I started experiencing confusion and hallucinations from the medication. The longer I take them, the side effects get worse. The pill has a chalky taste to it that was tolerable when I first took it, but then became very noticeable that I had to take with something other than water. I recommend taking the pill with juice since it will dissolve in your mouth right away. The extreme fatigue and drowsiness have interrupted with my daily schedule. I am tired at all times and when I am not in class or doing school work I have to be sleeping. When I am not sleeping, I feel motion sickness, like my surroundings are spinning. DO NOT DRIVE!!! Try to get a designated driver because the medicine causes lack of coordination. Despite the side effects, the medication treated the infection and reduced the symptoms of the infection. Doctors should warn patients about potential side effects. | F | 20 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 6/16/2016 | 3 | BV | extreme fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, vaginal bleeding, fast heart rate, | I only took it for 3/7 days because side effects were extreme. thought I was going to have to go to ER because of heart rate | F | 23 | 7 days 500 | 6/13/2016 | 3 | BV | Headache, fatigue, dry/metallic taste, muscle soreness, rash | Dose 1 = took with evening meal, no issues. Dose 2 = took with morning meal - started to feel very foggy headed, mild pressure behind eyes, dry mouth with metallic taste, and low-level nausea - but still tolerable. Dose 3 = took with evening meal - same as dose 2 but with added fatigue. No issue since it was bedtime anyway! Dose 4 = took with morning meal - every side effect intensified. Extreme headache, intolerance to light and sound, extreme fatigue, horrible metallic taste, leg muscles felt like I ran a 5k. Dose 5 = took with evening meal - not sure what I was expecting, but side effects worsened still, and now accompanied by red pinpoint rash on extremities. My face was red (no rash yet) and I felt feverish. Next morning - rash spread to around eyes and cheeks and the rest of the bad stuff continued. I knew I had to STOP taking it. Ironically, only 5 pills seemed to help the BV symptoms, but I was given the gel version to use instead. I am holding off on that to see if the BV symptoms recur. | F | 59 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 5/20/2016 | 1 | Bacteria | Hallucinations. No appetite.

These symptoms did not effect me until 12 hours after my 1st dose. | F | 19 | 1 days 500mg | 3/29/2016 | 1 | Had an op in my mouth | See my post on the 1/25/2016. | I wanted to give some of you hope and some good news. Its been 8 weeks since my terrible problems with the side effects started. I have been for an MRI after 7 weeks. The symptoms started to dissipate coincidentally around the same time that I went for the MRI. The MRI showed some remnants of white spots which the Dr. attributes to hardening of blood vessels, etc. She does not want to be drawn into anything that may indicate the medication could have done that. I of course have no doubt that it was the remnants of white matter lesions that were indicated and if I had gone for an MRI within the first week - we would likely have seen the white lesions. Anyway - I feel myself again - thank god and all of the symptoms have now gone with some slight challenges with my vision and the very odd and rare occurrence of a slight bit of light headiness at time. I think all of this will disappear after the next few weeks. So hang in there as no one comes back to tell when they feeling better and I am certainly feeling better after thinking I was going to die. It takes time though. | M | 47 | 3 days 400 mg 2X day | 3/22/2016 | 5 | Bv | Diarrhea Nausea Stomach cramps Stiffness in legs | F | 21 | 7 days 400mg | 3/21/2016 |
