| 3 | Gum infection | Extreme tiredness, flu like symptoms, tearfulness, headaches, not helping gum infection at all !! Giving me the runs ! This drug is a nightmare!! Don't recommend | F | 25 | 5 days 400 | 7/4/2013 | 2 | BV | Intense flu-like symptoms (hot/heavy lungs, cough, sore throat, fever, sweats, chills), moderate headache, muscle aches, diarrhea, nightmares, fatigue yet trouble sleeping at night | I am currently halfway through my 3rd day of a 7 day regimen for Metronidazole for BV. Only within the last hour have a started to feel slightly normal, but that absolutely doesn't mean I am feeling better. I can't get over how identical the symptoms are to the flu. My emotions are also completely erratic; one minute feeling emotionless and dead to the world, the next minute I'm crying uncontrollably over nothing. I haven't encountered the 'metallic taste' in the mouth, perhaps because my pills are in cap form with the drug inside (is this not normal outside of Canada?). Anyways. My BV seems to be clearing up, so I'll tough through the terrible symptoms another 4.5 days. However, if I were prescribed this again in the future, I would completely refuse to take it. | F | 31 | 7 days 500 2X day | 7/4/2013 | 3 | BV | Completely cleared up infection but symptoms are brutal. I experienced extreme nausea and diarrea which is bad because I had no appetite and I am already very thin. I have been off of the pills for about two days now and I am more nauseous now than I was before. Actually almost vomited once. | F | 21 | 7 days 2X day | 7/3/2013 | 1 | bacteria infection from Bali | nasua, diarrhea, severe stomach cramp, co constant upset stomach, headaches, full body ache like the flu, total lose of appetite and over all feeling horrible. I cant take them any longer | F | 45 | 3 days 400 | 6/20/2013 | 1 | Supposed to be taking twice a day for 7 days, but I'm stopping at day 3. This medicine is horrible, I wish I knew these affects before. It's keeping me from sleeping and I feel extreamly nautious during the day, like I need to throw up. I have the chills and shakes and feel completely out of it, it's very hard to get any work done. I hate this medicine and can't wait till it gets out of my system. I know you're supposed to finish antibiotics but this just ISN'T WORTH IT. | F | 23 | 3 days 500 | 6/18/2013 | 3 | BV | this medicine is horrible ! I had a migraine headache , tingling in hand / foot , sore throat , night sweats , sleepiness . today my last day taking it and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone ! | F | 19 | 7 days 500 mg | 6/17/2013 | 3 | Vaginitis | Hypoglycemia! I was near to death! Nausea and dizziness just after taking the drug. | F | 26 | 4 days 4 g | 6/13/2013 | 3 | Intestinal inflammation | I've been a nurse for 13 years so let me start by saying IT IS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT TO START AND FINISH YOUR ENTIRE COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS, but if you feel the side effects are too much for you, please talk to your physician ASAP! That being said, this past week I became I'll & doctor put me on Flagyl 500 mg 3 times a day for 7 days in conjunction with Cipro 2 times a day for 7 days. I've read that the cipro intensifies the effects of Flagyl, which I believe because this is the 2nd time I've taken Flagyl but first time taking it in conjunction with the Cipro. My side effects are pretty bad & makes it very hard for me to function. They are: headache, dizziness, tearfulness (omg!), foul taste in mouth, loss of appetite, tiredness, nausea, skin tingling, generally feeling out of it, feel unable to function normally, painful urination, dark urine, very intensified sense of smell - even feel like I can smell it coming from my pores, indigestion, and night "drenches" - way to bad to call them night sweats! Lets just say my family can't stand me.... With all that I'm going to doctor in morning to see if we can change it!!! | F | 34 | 7 days 500 mg | 5/19/2013 | 1 | infection | I was okay the first day. On the second day I woke up with extreme pain in the back of my head/neck. Neck felt very stiff/sore. Started vomiting on and off for a few hours. Felt spacey and sick to my stomach for the rest of the day. Took Ondansetron (medication for vomiting) and even that didn't help with the nausea/vomiting. Had a hard time even drinking water. | Horrible side effects. Stay away unless you want to risk throwing up! | F | 25 | 2 days 500 2X day | 5/17/2013 | 1 | BV | All over body rash, dry mouth, general lethargy, neck ache, night sweats, bad sleeping at night, waking up tired, feel like I'm spaced out. | I had a course of these but had to stop on day 3, wish I'd have never bothered. Ended up sitting in the out of hours service because i thought there was something seriously wrong with me. the side effects need to be discussed in detail as they seem to be very common. | F | 30 | 3 days 1X day | 5/14/2013 | 4 | BV | Listlessness, anxiety, depression, mood swings | Within an hour of taking the first pill came the mood swings. I was suddenly very angry. Cycled between anger, anxiety, paranoia, depression for the first 2-3 days on this. I've never had issues with side effects from any medication so I certainly wasn't expecting it. Glad to read that others have had similar experiences and I wasn't going crazy. Now I'm on day 5 and feel just fine other than still lacking a little energy, though not nearly as bad as the first couple of days. It seems to have cleared up my infection which is good (hence the good rating), however I'm not sure I'd take it again. | F | 27 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 5/13/2013 | 5 | Infection after wisdom tooth extrac | Slight headache and heartburn | After reading everyone's comments, I really didn't want to take these, but the intense pain I had from the wisdom tooth extraction infection got me to take it. I didn't experience anything except for a slight headache and heartburn, which didn't really bother me. Take these tablets they really work and are not as bad as everyone says, everyone is different so experience different things, but these really work and the pain went after 3 days | F | 32 | 5 days 200 3X day | 5/12/2013 | 3 | Partial bowel obstruction | Tiredness, Depression, thirsty, neck pain, mood swings, headache, Thank you, I thought I was going mad! It's been a holiday weekend and most miserable I can remember. It has helped the pain, but I am so listless it's ridiculous. Am normally a very stable person but currently emotionally all over the place. Have just started day 4 of 7 on 400mg 3 x a day and other users feedback has made me realise I am not losing the plot. I will finish the course as its preferential to ending up in hospital. I can't say I have had stomach cramps because that's what I had before I started the tablets, however I do have the gurgling gut and passing wind. Oops, there it goes again :-)) I wish I had been better informed of the possible side affects beforehand, rather than having to search the web to ease current fragile state of mind. I wish you good luck with your course of tablets | M | 48 | 7 days 400mg x 3 | 5/6/2013 | 5 | Bv | These tablets give you a horrific feeling but when it wears off i feel 1 million times better than iv felt for years.. Its defo working it is a very strong antiB you would be aswell coping with the side affects because the overall result will be worth it. | F | 27 | 7 days 400mg | 5/4/2013 | 2 | Infection | Terrible.. Bad itch, neck pain, thirsty all the time, swollen ears, dark urine. Today is the last day to take it... thank god. | I totally didn't think about the side effects, and the doctor did not tell me about them, and there was no paper in the medicine box, I just figured out that these are side effects and got depressed today. I cant stop it, I only have two tablets left, but would never take it again. As the other person mentioned; it should be BANNED, and doctors need to be aware of that as well and mention it to the patients. I just came back from a camping trip and I thought I just had allergy from the weather in the city I went to, and never thought it was side effects. | F | 31 | 7 days 400 3X day | 5/4/2013 | 5 | BV | I experienced, fatigue, the feeling of having to puke and I actually puked on day #3 I had numbess/tingling in arms/legs/hands/feet. The next pain scared be, because I thought I had done something wrong with my neck until reading these reviews. Intense Constipation and diarrhea along with dehydration. Extreme paranoia and the thoughts that my life was over. These side effects r intense, but the odor and discomfort began to cease by day two! | F | 26 | 7 days 500 | 4/18/2013 | 5 | vaginal infection | It worked really well ..few side effects nothing I can't handle.dark urine ,drowsiness,bitter taste in mouth and my appetite varies | F | 19 | 5 days 500mg | 4/17/2013 | 2 | Bv infection | Been awake 3 days straight stomach cramps tired cranky sleepy but can't even fall to sleep sour taste in mouth no energy | F | 40 | 4 days 500mg x2 | 3/2/2013 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I took my first dose (500mg tablet) with food last night before bed. I felt fine when I woke, but this morning around 8 am, started with nausea, then an overall unwell, tired feeling, with chills. I started feeling panicky and anxious, and mentally kind of "out of it". I slept all day and missed an important work event due to the sick feeling, which really disappointed me. I had no appetite, dark urine, and muscle aches in my back. Overall, it's been flu-like symptoms as many here have said. There was a slight metallic taste in my mouth but not extreme. I will not take this medicine again! | F | 33 | 1 days 500mg 2XD | 3/2/2013 | 3 | BV | Dark urine, bad sore threat, bad headaches | F | 25 | 7 days | 2/19/2013 |
