 2  BV I'm currently on Day 4 and I have been experiencing extreme fatigue. Very lightheaded!!! My BV is clearing up but not all the way cleared. I am on the pill, and it has an awful taste. I dread taking the pill. I would not recommend this medication. Also it helps if you take the medication with juice rather than water. It helps eliminate the bad taste F 20 7 days

 1  For amoeba After a few hours of taking the first dose - I started to get pins and needles in my hands - that progressed to same symptoms in arms and legs. I could only sleep a few hours and then would wake up with shooting pains up and down my arms and legs, some numbness and sharp pains in other parts of the body. Very scary - ended up in hospital, and then having to fly to another city to have a series of test. I only took two doses and then stopped. 10 days later still not feeling right although symptoms have subsided a little. Scariest medication I have ever taken - and that was from only two doses!!

 1  BV I was puking, felt out of it. I missed a day so I doubled up on the medication not knowing that wasn't good. I was home for a week puking and went to emergency room. I couldn't keep anything down. That was in the year of 2012 and I have had stomach and intestine problems ever since. I have a strict diet now and have been diagnosed with GERD. I can't eat acidic or fatty foods. Don't take it. F 14 days

 1  Tooth and gum infection I felt lethargic and depressed metal taste in my mouth and became very clumsy. Extraordinarily the metronidazole has not even kicked in after 3/4 days so I decided there is no point to continue them . They are not doing their job and making me feel sick.

 1  dental abscess I was taking these along with 2x500mg amoxicillin for an abscess, stopped taking like after the fourth day due to very severe anxienty and panic. my heart rate is constantly pounding, in my mind it feels like I am not here. kinda like watching my life through a glass window, I feel like I am going crazy, I can't focus on anything all I can hear is thoughts in my head, if I'm talking to people I can't engage in conversation, its really scary. wouldn't usually post on here but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I stopped taking Saturday its Wednesday now and I still feel like this, aswell as no appetite, fever, nausea, and stomach pains/butterflies but I'm not even bothered about them its my mind that I'm bothered about. went to doctors yesterday they prescribed me with chlorphenamine doesn't really seem to be helping but then again its only been a day. really don't know how to handle this anymore.

 1  Gum Abscess Dark brown urine, spaced out feeling, dizzy, palpitations, I feel wiped out, no energy. This drug is the devil. I was given 7 day course but I've stopped after 4 days I feel so weird. I'm going back to dentist for an alternative. I will never take these again. I also think dentist should make people aware of the side effects ( they only mentioned the alcohol one to me) F 54 7 days

 2  Mouth infection I had taken it before and experienced extreme nausea and feelings of being overwhelmed, but had a severe swelling this time and both dentists I saw insisted I take it as it is effective in clearing infection quickly. I am on my last dose and this past week has been so AWFUL!!! Almost unbearable!!! I have had extreme brain fog and depression and felt like the week was a horrible blur. I have had a racing heartbeat, feeling waves of hot and cold at night, unable to sleep, then when I did manage to fall asleep well after midnight I had vivid disturbing nightmares and woke at 4am. I have felt totally depressed and out of it throughout the course and felt as if I was having a mental breakdown. I lost the ability to feel any joy and excitement. I also had severe anxiety and began to experience panic attacks and shortness of breath. This was especially bad before bed but one panic attack was on the train journey to work for no reason. The mildest side effects were the pins and needles, the fatigue, the diarrhoea, the change in taste, and that my stomach had a burning feeling every time I took it. I dreaded taking it and do NOT recommend it, especially to people with existing or past mental issues as it could be very dangerous. F 23 5 days

 1  Dental Abcess Extremely tired, depressed, tearful, irritable. Some sort of brain fog meaning making mistakes easily. I seem to be upsetting other people too. I'm really not all there. This stuff makes you feel beside yourself. I'm not sure I'll be able to complete the course, I'd rather the abcess came back and have a tooth out than put up with what this is doing to my mind. Horrible medicine. . M 44 5 days

Hallucinations and confusion both night and day, unable to move for 2-3 hours after dose due to excruciating headache and incessant waves of nausea, dark urine. I have never experienced anything like this. GP advised stopping immediately. I felt my health was put in jeopardy by taking this. Horrible almost surreal experience.
