| 1 | Possible Ameobic parasite | If you're reading this, please do NOT take this drug. It isn't worth the side effects. Nausea, numbness in hands and feet, tingling, burning sensations, depression & anxiety through the roof. Lack of concentration, brain fog, trouble speaking, this drug is pure poison. Muscles twitching 24/7. | This drug is nasty and dangerous. No wonder why it's been discontinued in the UK. I am praying that the damage done isn't permanent. If you've had similar symptoms or want to know how I'm doing, please email me! | M | 20 | 1 days 500mg x3 | 3/5/2015 | 3 | Strep throat | This antibiotic sent me mad , after 3 days on it I didn't want to leave the house or speak to anyone I really thought I'd lost the plot , when i went to speak with my wife the words wouldn't come out , I kept feeling like I was breathless not to mention the stomach cramps , I was having crazy thoughts and even worse dreams as I was sleeping 16hrs a day , got rid of the strep but never ever again will I be using these , It turned me into a depressed luney | Strong but maybe to strong for me | M | 42 | 7 days 400 | 3/4/2015 | 4 | Gum infection led to toothache | Just a rash on my neck and chest | I'm now at the end of the course and my toothache seems to have gone. | F | 37 | 5 days 200 | 3/1/2015 | 5 | Dry socket after tooth extraction | Constant headache, awful metallic taste, extremely tired. Could hardly stay awake. Brain fog. Trouble getting words out. Mild depression. Chewing gum disguised the awful taste in my mouth. | Symptoms ceased within 24hours of taking the final dose. Effective in getting rid of the infection. Even though the side effects were awful I would take it again if required for an infection, if it should be the most effective antibiotic. | F | 60 | 5 days 400mg x 3 | 2/22/2015 | 1 | BV | Dizziness, irritabilty, memory loss & confusion. Anxienty, metalic taste, loss of appetite, stomach pain with cramps. | Its horrible. I feel so terrible while on the pill. Its turning me into a lunitic. | F | 38 | 2 days 500mg 2x | 2/21/2015 | 1 | BV | Dont drink w it!! | Three years later, doing exactly what dr said... 7 days of metrogel and STILL had funk catfish smell. Having better luck w PRObiotics. | F | 37 | 3 years | 2/19/2015 | 3 | trichomoniasis | Headache stomach pain | F | 44 | 1 days 4/500mg | 2/10/2015 | 3 | BV | - Itchiness and metallic taste from day one - dizzyness, lightheaded, flu-like symptoms since day 6 - rashes since day 8 called the docs on day 9 to check if I can stop taking the meds because I am afraid the symptoms will get worse. She confirmed that this is OK. | This is the 2nd time I have taken a metronidazole course. First time was a 5-day course of 2x 500mg tablets. No side-effects were noted then. However the BV did not cleared, therefore I am now on my 2nd and stronger dosed course. | F | 28 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 2/8/2015 | 1 | BV | Heat flashes, depression, anxiety, mood swings, felt spacey, metallic taste in mouth, thirst, couldn't sleep at night. | I would not recommend this to antibiotic to anyone! I suffered from an anxiety attack and couldn't sleep - enough to make me not take the rest of the dosage (5 of the 7 days prescribed). When I couldn't sleep at night and had the really bad thirst and nightmares/dreams I started to research and saw A LOT of people has the same symptoms. I am one of those people who never show symptoms from a medicine, so this one took me for surprise, I would NEVER recommend this medicine to a anyone, especially if you have past problems with anxiety. | F | 20 | 5 days 2pill2xday | 2/8/2015 | 4 | Bv | Labor like cramping,sweats,dark urine,diarrhea, nausea, depression,anxiety | I am on a 7 day prescription but I refuse to take anymore after the cramps from lastnigh. The BV is gone though | F | 29 | 6 days 250 MG | 2/4/2015 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Severe headache, flu like symptoms, mood swings, listlessness, swollen legs and feet due to water retention, bloating | Horrible side effects but it did clear my BV | F | 47 | 6 days 250 2X day | 1/29/2015 | 1 | tooth infection | I've just been through hell last 5 days of taking these tablets (should have been 7 but doc took me off them). Horrendous panic attacks, tunnel vision, mental confusion, kept forgetting not only what I was talking about but also losing my train of though like my brains had turned to candy floss, lethargy, diarrhoea, sickness, dizziness. Been off work for last two days after thinking I was going die in toilets (panic attack) and had to go home. Also unable to drive. | Take with caution. | F | 36 | 1 days | 1/28/2015 | 2 | Bv | I had dizziness, metal taste, loss of appetite, heartburn, sore throat, white tongue, dry mouth, couldn't sleep, anxiety was awful I had tingling in my hands and foot, itching on my body without a rash I could not set still, Constanttly getting up and down, hard to focus and remember things. My urine was dark. I had diarreaha. | I had to take this medication twice within 4 months. It is a killer med. I had so many side effects and they linger after the med is all gone. I have been off of it for over two weeks and still have heartburn (never had before) throat feels funny and I still have the itching. I just don't feel myself, hoping eventually this all goes away and I can be me again. I have dealt with this since September and it is now toward the end of January. I am not sure I would take it again when I asked the dr about the side effects, they don't seem to think they are as bad as they really are. | F | 54 | 10 days 500 mg 3X day | 1/25/2015 | 3 | Gum infection | Sleepless. Excess saliva. White tongue. | Given only being on my 3rd day into the treatment, it seems as though my symptoms are worsening. I have little experience taking antibiotics, but expected at least a slight change towards the better. It is confusing and depressing, the pain is unbearable. I do not know if this because of my ailment or a side effect. I cant sleep longer than 30-40 minutes at a time. So far I am not impressed with the efficiency of this drug, but because of the fact that I am less than half way through the prescription. I have no choice but to bear with this awful experience. I really hope my suffering pays off, I am compounding the effects of this junk on my body with tylenol in hopes it will work. | M | 36 | 7 days 250mg 3X day | 1/24/2015 | 1 | C Diff | Diarrhea, severe headache, body aches (flu-like symptoms), nausea, no appetite, slurred speech, extreme tiredness, oral thrush, severe joint pain | !st day was fine...2nd day severe diarrhea for 8 hours...3rd day felt like I was hit by a truck...bad body aches, nausea, extreme tiredness, worst headache ever and chills. Nurse said she never heard of these symptoms. 4th day developed oral thrush (burning in throat, white coating on tongue and roof of mouth). Called doctor again and prescribed Clotrimazole lozenges 5X/day for 14 days. Told the pharmacist about my side effect symptoms from the Flagyl...sounds like I got the flu that just happened to coincide with taking this medicine. Don't think so! 6th-8th days felt okay...tired and no appetite. 9th day woke up with pain in the middle of my wrist...felt like I slept on it wrong, got progressively worse to the point that I had no strength & couldn't grip anything due to weakness and pain. 10th day excruciating joint pain in both wrists and left hip/thigh. By the 12th day, joint pain was so severe that my husband took me to the ER at 3:30 in the middle of the night. Pain was so bad I wanted to die...was shaking from the pain. Got Vicodin through an IV and checked my white and red blood counts. All was normal and there was no sign of an infection...prescribed Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen and told me to continue the last 2 days of the Flagyl. I cried the whole next day. Finished the Flagyl with the joint pain slowly going away...9 days after taking the last dose the joint pain was gone. It is now 3 weeks since the last dose and I am having symptoms of C Diff aga | F | 48 | 14 days 500 mg 3X day | 1/21/2015 | 1 | inflammation on gum | I had read stories on this and was prepared however by my third day I felt fine - that all changed as I woke up at 12am and felt so breathless I felt I'd forgotten how to breath nothing was working. Every time I'd try to get asleep my body would jerk me right back awake as if I shouldn't be going to sleep, if I closed my eyes in the darkness it felt like a bright torch was being shined into my eyes. After 3 full days I'm not taking any more and I cannot wait for this stuff to leave my body I feel awful. | Would think really hard before taking it. | F | 25 | 5 days 200mg | 1/20/2015 | 1 | Infection | Anxiety, Depression, loss of appetite, blurred vision, insomnia | Don't touch this medication if you have suffered from anxiety in the past.. It will bring it all back | F | 28 | 3 days 400 | 1/18/2015 | 5 | Bacteria vaginosis | I felt extremely nauseated the first few days. Ialmost thought i was the virgin Mary and God miraculously impregnated me. I was beat. Im on my 6th day taking the medicine with one more day left, and have been sleeping like the dead. Everytime i wake up i fall back asleep. I can't really complain because it relieved me of that horrible smell that comes with BV after about 2 days of taking it. I mean you cant always win win win. So i'm losing out on my daily activities by sleeping in because of the medicine, but im extremely satisfied with the results so far as to my healing, and killing of that deadly horrible smell. | F | 28 | 6 days 500mg | 1/14/2015 | 3 | diverticulitis | Nausea, headache,complete loss of appetite,backache,diarrhoea,disorientated feeling. | On my last day on this med thank god | M | 72 | 7 days 400mg x3 | 1/13/2015 | 4 | Gardnerella | Fatigue, vivid dreams, drowsy | I don't know if this thing is supposed to put me right to sleep or not, but I sleep like a baby on this thing and throughout the course of the day all I can think about is sleeping. I had problems falling asleep before, I'd get about 25 hours total of sleep at night in a week. With this, it's been something ridiculous like 70 hours, and that doesn't count the napping after my first dose of the day. Of all the side effects I could be having, I'm not entirely displeased. All this sleeping isn't good for my productivity, though. I feel like a zombie. | F | 19 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 1/9/2015 |
