 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.

 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

 4  D. Fragilis Parasite No side effects experienced. Was very concerned about side effects, as I had previously reacted badly to antibiotics and I was warned that I would feel terrible taking metronidazole. I made sure to get lots of sleep and was on a healthy paleo diet (cutting out grains which in my case fed the parasite) and didn't feel any adverse effects. Make sure to repopulate the gut with good bacteria afterwards (heavy duty probiotics or 24 hour homemade live yoghurts as the supermarket drinks aren't robust enough), as it'll wipe out everything.

 1  bv nausea, metallic taste in mouth, insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, excess saliva, loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation Would absolutely never take this medication again. Did clear up original symptoms but side effects were far worse than any symptom I started with. I did not drink while on the medication, took it as directed, used probiotics during it, and still found it unbearable. F 23 7 days

 1  tooth extracted then infection Was prescribed 400mg 3xday following infection following tooth extraction. Im 5ft2 weighing 9 half stone. Not sure if this dose way too much but two days in started with a rash on my feet. Woke up covered in itcgy rash. Stiff neck. Headache slurring and stuttering my words unable to get words out and feeling like I was loosing the plot and confused. Generally felt very unwell. Went hospital where had my bloods ecg ct scan which all came back normal. They wanted to keep me overnight but I was not in my normal frame of mind and took myself home. Silly I know but now resting at home. Head still strange but stopped tablets and will never take again. Im wondering if I have developed enchetholapthy even though the ct scan came back ok? Any opinions please? Will never touch this drug again and professionals should not give it out so easily. F 34 2 days

 1  BV Mood swings, nausea, headache, hot/cold flashes, dizziness, insomnia. I'm so glad I came across this and see I'm not the only one losing my mind on this. I'm 3 days into this antibiotic and am ready to crawl out of my skin. I suffer from moderate-severe depression and anxiety already, and this makes me feel like I did before I started Wellbutrin and Valium. I see my doctor tomorrow, so will insist on a different medication. I am hoping only 5 pills won't have the long term effects as others have stated. F 26 10 days
