 1  Gum Infection The side effects increased daily until I stopped taking the tablets after 3 days of a 5 day course. Severe nausea, chills, cold sweats, horrible taste in my mouth, no appetite or energy. Other symptoms included depression, spaced out feeling and frequent crying spells. Was unable to do anything, slept as much as I could but not much relief due to nightmares. Also I had feelings of extreme agitation, it was a horrible, horrible experience. Since stopping the tablets 4 days ago I now have diarrhea, am very tired and the vile taste remains. I have never had a reaction like this to an antibiotic before, and have rarely felt so ill. I felt like I was being systematically poisoned. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. F 47 3 days

 5  Wisdom Tooth Infection strong metallic taste, fairly constant nausea & cramps, looser stools than usual, feeling quite down and tearful, dark urine (almost looks like beer), abdominal cramps. This is the 4th time my partially erupted wisdom tooth has become infected & the 4th time I have been on a course of Metronidazole. The side effects with this drug have always been fairly strong in my experience, with nausea and the metallic taste in my mouth being the worst of them. During the other courses the infection seemed to clear up a lot quicker than this one has, however I am about to start day 4/5 and hopefully it will clear it up. Overall, a very effective antibiotic. F 21 5 days

 1  Suspected BV Nausea, hot flashes, anxiety, abdominal pain, back pain, buttocks pain, diarrhoea, tiredness, depression I am on the fourth day of taking this antibiotic and i feel like my condition has worsened. Dr gave me this drug as i had previously been diagnosed with thrush but the treatment didnt work. I have taken this medication before and it was fine (dose wasnt as strong) but this time the side effects have been terrible. Im not sure whether the lower back pain is because of this medicine but its my main concern atm. I am soooo worried and on the third day i had the worst lower back pain which progressed to my buttocks, as though ive been working out at the gym. My legs feel weak because of this. I dont know if anyone else has been experiencing this but its troubling me a lot and i feel like im never going to get better. In terms of the suspected infection, my discharge went from watery to clumpy (tmo sorry) however it never had a bad odor and i still have pelvic/abdominal pain. Feel absolutely awful and i just want to get better now F 22 7 days

 3  Diverticulitis My primary observations about Flyagl include frequent black or tarry stools, mild body aches, mild fatigue, brief foul metallic taste, perhaps a reduced appetite and some gas. No headaches or nausea. I have had 5 diverticulitis attacks in 24 years. Recently I was prescribed Cipro and Flyagl to be taken together over a 7 day period. The next day my urine turned a deep orange and stools became dark and black with a coffee ground texture.The first stool following the dosage produced a green- black stool. My bowel in the left lower side tends to flux, ripple and have prickly or thorny moments. I typically finish the medications and find it still takes 2 or 3 weeks following the prescription for my bowel to recover. M 66 7 days

 4  BV Headaches, axiety, depression, spaced out feeling, inability to concentrate I was prescribed this medication for bacterial vaginosis. If it weren't for this site I would've thought I was crazy. I started to feel spaced out and I had difficulties concentrating. I called Patient First and told them of my side effects. The nurse basically told me that those side effects were not associated with this medication. She proceeded to tell me that I should come in for a neurological evaluation. She made me think I was crazy. I now see that these side effects are common with other women and I don't feel as bad. I cannot wait until this medication is finished because I'm not sure how much I can handle. I feel bad for the women who are required to take this for 21 days. F 22 7 days

 2  BV Exhaustion, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, foggy. Was extremely tired and nauseous the entire time. Figured it would only be that way for about 2-3 days of first taking it, but ended up being sick and exhausted the entire time. I would sleep 8-10 hours a night, need a nap mid-day and then be overly tired by the time I got to my waitressing job at 4pm. I hated this medicine. I felt out of it the entire time I took it. F 20 7 days
