| 4 | Anal fistula | Depression, mood swings, dark urine, lethargic, no sex drive | I'm on day 9 of 14 and I have been so distant with my partner. I just want to be left alone. I haven't gone out the house. I don't have bad thoughts but just feel really down. I seem to be sleeping a lot more and very tired easily. Im just not myself | F | 45 | 10 days 3xD | 4/8/2016 | 1 | STI | Passed out behind the wheel of the car and woke up and immediately started vommiting | If you must take this medication do not drive for at least 24 hours. 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 | 1 | dental infection | This is my 2nd review after another very severe panic attack requiring emergency room treatment. This attack was much worse than the first one. BP 220/110, breathing difficulties, racing heart, full body tremors, sweating and cold at the same time, leg pains, massive headache, blurred vision, dry mouth. After emergency treatment and injection of diuretics I was able to pass urine normally for the first time since starting on this poisonous substance. I've stopped taking flagyl and 4 days later can at least swallow and eat normally, urine returned to pale colour. Internal shaking continues, blood pressure very erratic highs and lows. | A drug with TERRIBLE side effects. Be warned. | F | 58 | 5 days 500 | 3/20/2016 | 4 | BV | Horrible nausea,then day 3 horrible and pain...can hardly wait for rest if week | F | 60 | 7 days 500 | 3/19/2016 | 3 | Pid | Severe migraines,lack of appetite, rash, tingling in hands and feet, metallic taste in my mouth, white tongue, dark color urine, diarrhea, lack in urine, constipation, pain and stiffness in legs. | This medicine's side effects are harsh af. I didn't know whether or not i was having an allergic reaction to it so i called the pharmacist who stated all these symptoms are common and to finish the prescribed amount... 😞 | F | 28 | 2 weeks 500mg | 3/18/2016 | 3 | had a stinging discharge | l am 12 weeks pregnant and as l was inthe middle of the course l was bleeding for 2 days inthe mornings only and after that the color of discharge changed to redish ,sometimes brownish | none | F | 20 | 7 days 200MG | 3/18/2016 | 3 | Infection | Tingling and prickling in entire body Constipation | F | 36 | 7 days 500 | 3/12/2016 | 1 | PID | Dizziness, confusion, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts towards end of prescription. Headaches, stomach upset, severe nausea if not taken with enough food, nervousness, shimmy headed almost like motion sickness. Talk to your doctor about side effects and ask for an alternative. Its just way to much. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 500 mg | 3/6/2016 | 1 | BV | Horrible drugs. I've been having the worst HEARTBURN ever. I've never had heartburn and this is such a horrible feeling. I cannot sleep because of it. Stomache ache as well. Headache increases as days goes by. I've been afraid to eat anything. | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AND ASK FOR ANOTHER OPTION. | F | 23 | 3 days 500mg | 2/28/2016 | 1 | Bacteria & Stomach Pain | This medication is the worst experience I have had ever. It is giving me nightmares that I cannot even describe. Makes me foggy with my thinking during the day and has several other effects and you wonder what is going on. I wish I could come off it right now but I am petrified that if I do the infection might come and I would have to start all over again. Sometimes you wonder if the DR knows what he is doing. I pray there will be no long term damage to any part of body. Be warned. | M | 67 | 6 days 500 MG 2X day | 2/11/2016 | 1 | Right hand pain/numbness and stomach pains, I didn't have any of these symptoms before taking this medication | F | 39 | 5 days | 2/6/2016 | 4 | C-diff | Tired feeling all day long...best to keep busy.

I have never felt so ill | F | 64 | 3 days 400 | 1/29/2016 | 1 | Op in my mouth - Periodontitus | Dizziness, light headed, foggy brain, unbalanced, numbness/tingling in left foot, severe pain in neck. | I would recommend that you stay clear of this medication and if prescribed rather request for something else. There must be good alternatives - I of course would NEVER take this again. It has been over a week now since I stopped the medication and the side effects are still lingering. I just hope I recover fully from this. | M | 47 | 3 days 400 mg 2X day | 1/25/2016 | 1 | Infection | Nightmares,depression,anxiethy,heart beating,blurred vision,brainfog, stomachache,nausea,neuropathy, burning sensation on the body,muscle spasm, shaking, nervous, pain in The body, headache, dizzieness,off balance, sound and Light sensitive | DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON.

Ask your doctor for another medication. I Wish i could turn back time and never took this poison. | F | 38 | 6 days | 1/25/2016 | 2 | Stomach problems | Numbness of arms and legs, difficulty breathing, panic attack, crying, focusing problem | I would never think an antibiotic could give such effect, like hormonal medicine.I was drinking it tree times a day and on third day just after I slept I woke up because I couldnt breath, and it was so difficult to do for a while. At the same time I got numbness of my arms and legs, my heart rate was very fast. All these special effects made me really scared. I couldnt think it was Metronidazol. Next day I was sooo emotional, I couldnt believe myself that I was hysterically crying because my husband didnt want to buy products. Just to describe the whole story, I couldnt even go to my classes because life ended after that, I came back home and cried for an hour(!) without to stop like never in my life. And again I had this strange feeling in my arms and legs which made me cry more. Just after that I said to myself hey its not normal and came to this website. I see that there are a lot of people suffering from it. Once I got another medicine containing Metronidazol and there was no any problem. Very strange. Also there was problem to concentrate. | F | 29 | 3 days 3X day | 1/19/2016 | 5 | BV | Dry mouth, nightmares, frequent urination | I didn't find it as difficult as others. | F | 28 | 7 days 1000 mg/d | 1/11/2016 | 5 | chronic late stage lyme disease | Physical and emotional draining,Day 1 dark urine, day 2 usually presents a migraine, day 3 insomnia sets in...Herxheimer reaction. See below.... | Thank goodness for this drug! Yes, I feel dreadful (as in bed-bound) but I understand that to reflect the number of dead bacteria which it causes to float around my body, these cause a huge inflammatory response (Herxheimer Reaction/Die off reaction) I take 3 day pulse doses every 10 days, supporting my immune system, gut and de-toxing all the way. The worse you feel whilst taking an antibiotic can be indicative of the level of germs it's killing within your body. I've been using pulses for 13 months now and am definitely slightly better so will continue (It is likely that I got the original Borellia infection 46 years ago and have had 4 tick attachments since, the last in 2008, red nymph tick with an Erythema Migrans presenting. Still no NHS positive blood test but until they improve their test method that is no surprise. I do however have a positive from Infectolab, Augsberg, Germany. To conclude; Horray for this drug, it has saved my life without doubt. | F | 51 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 12/29/2015 |
