I am at the end of day 6 of 7 total days of treatment. I have experienced nightmares, a feeling of constant drunkeness, severe lethargy and tiredness, nausea, headaches, tingling on the left side of my face and scalp, dry eyes, loose bowels, and disinterest. I have not taken any other medicine, or ingested alcohol. I am a student in school, who works, and also has a clinical internship 3 days a week, so I have been extremely exhausted. I look forward to my last day tomorrow but according to this site and many of your experiences; I can unfortunately anticipate feeling like this for a while (2 days afterwards). The good news: the smell is completely gone, and there is no more discharge. The only reason why I continued with this medication through all of my symptoms is because I do not want this infection coming back, it is an awful thing that I have been dealing with for the first time in my life. I rated this drug a 5 on the basis that it has cleared my BV, but time will tell if it truly did (I do have 1 more day to go) and even more time to tell if it truly helped. As far as side effects I rate this as a 2 - the side effects suck. I couldn't imagine being on this medication for 21 days especially because this medication has been known to cause permanent damage in those with poor liver function. | F | 29 | 7 days 500 2X day | 4/2/2015 | 1 | potential BV | Extreme depression to the point of hurting myself, uncontrollable crying fits, anxiety, extreme chills, fever, trouble breathing, difficulty speaking, painful and frequent urination, and abdominal pains. | I am sensitive to a lot of drugs, but this made me want to kill myself. Went to the hospital and stopped taking after 3 doses. Starting to feel better, but please be careful with this medication. | F | 22 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 3/26/2015 | 1 | BV | Lips tingling, panic attacks, palpitations, itching skin without rash, pimples on face, bad taste in mouth, unexplainable anxiety | I took this medicine 15 years ago and had the same symptoms. I stopped taking it and had it marked in my chart that I was allergic. Recently I thought that maybe I was just going thru a bad time in my life at that point and would try it again. I will not take this medicine again. The doctor told me side effects are rare but there is no denying how I feel while taking this medicine. If you are prone to anxiety or depression please be cautious. Find another treatment for your problem or Google a natural remedy. | F | 39 | 5 days 250mg | 3/24/2015 | 3 | tooth abscess | I have one more tablet to take but not sure if I want to its day 5 on these tablets and today I have bad heartburn and diorrhea, when I first started on them I was feeling as if my heart was pounding or missing a beat and Light handedness I couldn't sleep and I panicked a lot which I never do I am going back to the dentist at 4 today to get better antibiotics hopefully amoxicillin to clear it up.
