 1  Reflux and rash (I think) Sever stomach cramps, emotional, on going! I have taken this drug before for BV about 5 years ago, and did not experience any side effects whatsoever. This time.. OMG! I have reflux and have had on going issues with that. Went to docs with a rash, and he prescribed this drug and a couple of others. I was rattling! Day 3, I experienced the most severe stomach pains ever. I couldnt breathe in, walk about, sit down, stand up, lay down.. nothing.. I vomited twice, and to cut a long story short I went to the docs who said that they had interefered with my complaint, and to come off them. 3 days after coming off them, I am still in pain. Not as severe, but I have a feeling that I have been winded, and breathing in is uncomfortable and moving about is not a pleasant experience. Also when I cough and sneeze, it causes my stomach to flinch. My stomach is bloated too, like extended at least 6 inches. I can't hold it in. I am just feeling really sorry for myself. I didn't drink. I remember from the last time I took them that this was a no go! I don't know what to do now. I can't feel like this for much longer! Back to the docs on Monday me thinks! F 39 3 days

 1  mouth infection Was in bed for the week I was on this medication. Although it relieved the pain from my mouth very quickly, symptoms from the antibiotic replaced it. I had depression, tiredness, anxiety, hot and cold flushes, head aches would come and go same as the back pain. Sympons that worried me about this drug was the shaking hands and depression it gives you. It was weird because I never get symtons from meds and rarley feel so down. I was getting panic attacks and feelings of depression for the first 4 days of taking this. I would definitely ask for a different antibiotic if I ever have this problem again. F 17 1 days

 1  suspected infection PID Horrible!!! I am on day four and it is horrible seeing others comments makes me feel at ease I seriously thought I was going crazy side effects include stiff neck shoulder pain jaw tension anxiety panic attacks thoughts of death and dying rapid heart rate shaking of hands thigh twitches shortness of breath like you can't take a deep breath loss of appetite the runs insomnia chills angry irritable no interest in sex.

 1  amoebic dysentery Severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks lasting two hours at a time, sore throat that feels like needles or knives are in my throat which will not go away, inability to sleep, and difficulty swallowing (again, linked to the anxiety which causes tensing of throat, leading to throat irritation) This drug is horrific. Never ever ever take it if you can avoid it. F 25 7 days

 3  BV The first 3 days I thought I had the flu. I couldn't get up out of bed for 3 days. I had chills; a fever that would go as high as 101.5; loss of appetite; headache; I even called the Doctor that prescribed the antibiotic to ask her if these were side effects of the medicine, she said it sounds like what i have is the flu and said these aren't the side effects of the medicine. So i spaced the medicine out longer than I had been and started to feel better. With the flu, I know it last longer than 3 days so I couldn't have had the flu. I never want to take this again!
