| 2 | Vaginal infection | dark urine, body odor, nausea, mood effects, sleeplessness | I don't see that others have included body odor as a side effect, but this has certainly been the case for me. I'm showering twice a day! | F | 31 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 2/12/2013 | 5 | BV | Aside from dark urine, I've experienced no side effects. My symptoms began to go away by day 2 and at day 4 they were completely gone. This works fast and has brought such a relief. I feel much better! | F | 20 | 7 days 500MG 2x D | 1/22/2013 | 1 | gum infection,absese | Metal taste cant sleep eat confused,not nice atall will never take again as it burnt my mouth and lip ended up in more pain than when started should be BANNED | M | 38 | 7 days 400 | 1/22/2013 | 4 | BV | - fatigue - dark urine (which they say is normal) - slowness (I am so sluggish) - need to stay in bed | I had the medication once before to treat BV, it got rid of it but it returned. It made my vag' dry towards the end of its cycle, and I do have a minor headache. The first time i took the medication, i had the flu shot the same day i took it. I was knocked out cold. I thought it was the combination, but maybe it is this medication after all. If your symptoms aren't unbearable by day 2, I reckon you will be okay | F | 23 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 1/15/2013 | 4 | BV | I was terrified to take this medication based on the terrible reviews. The bad reviews outweighed the good. But i took it anyways to cure my BV. The first day i felt a bit jittery and light headed. The second day was about the same. Then the symptoms were basically gone until day 5 when i got a mild sore throat. Over the course of the medication I experienced mild light headed feelings, but not too terrible. Overall, it was not nearly as bad as i expected it to be. But it does leave you with an overall feeling of being off. If i was prescribed this medication again, i would probably ask my doctor for something else. However, I would take it again if it was my only option. It did fix my BV in a matter of days. To me the side effects are bearable, but not enjoyable. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/26/2012 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | The worst drug I've ever experienced. I was on my 5th day, had to stop taking it yesterday as was awake from 4-9 in the morning vomiting on Christmas day. It's boxing day and I've woke up again at 4 to severe nausea,trembling and all week I've felt nauseas, tired, racing heart, and exhausted all the time. The smell from bv has gone so I assume the infection has as well but if the vomiting ans constant nausea were caused by the drug then it definitely isnt worth it. | F | 19 | 7 days 2x a day | 12/25/2012 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Nausea, Dizziness, Dry Mouth, Vaginal Dryness, Confusion, Gross taste in my mouth, Abdominal Bloating, Abdominal Pain, Insomnia, Chest Pain, Anxiety, Depression, less ability to cry normally, chills, shaking, runny nose, sore throat, numb tongue, swollen fingers, AWFUL BURNING CHILL RADIATING FROM MIDDLE OF CHEST. Most of these lasted 3+ weeks and some are still continuing or have come since. It has been over a month. | ****DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!!!!**** I wish I had never taken this, or had stopped when it started making me sick. I went to the Doctor with a strong vaginal odour that had been occuring for about 6 months. He did a urine test- which came back clear- then did a vaginal swab. He ruled out other problems and the test came back positive for BV. I had tried natural remedies first and they didn't work on the smell. I saw some scary things online about this medicine, but called my Nurse and she said that it was safe and that it was the only option to cure the symptom. She also told me that it was very important to complete the course of treatment as otherwise the bacteria could come back stronger. I took this for 7 days. After 4 or 5 days, I called the Nurse as the odour wasn't going away. She gave me the Dr's e-mail address and he responded that it should have worked, that the side-effects were probably from the drug, and that I should finish the treatment and then let him know how I was doing. I contacted him again on the 6th day to let him know that it still wasn't working. He said that I could stop taking it if I wanted, as it should have worked, that maybe the smell was from something else, but if the BV didn't clear up I would have to have more drugs. So I took my 3rd-last dose and asked him if I should continue as I didn't want the BV to come back. He said ok and that the side effects would go away after treatment. Well, I finished, the smell is stil | F | 32 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 12/12/2012 | 1 | gum infection after extractions | dark urine,sick,tired, vomit, sleepy,itchy skin | ive been on this drug for 4 days and right away i had dark urine and its the 4thday today and i got sick to the point of vomit, the urine has lightened bit the pain in my gums are still there but have moved down to my lower gums mostly still.. unbearable. it feels like i have the flu. i cant do anything but lay down this drug is horrible i hope it does some good soon besides the pain and being on painkilers to every 4hrs before and sine the extractions i cant afford to be super super sick to with a familly ,kids and household to look after super awful drug | F | 42 | 4 days 400 mg 1X day | 12/7/2012 | 1 | Abscess | Tiredness, spaced out feeling, dizziness, lack of energy, bizarre feelings when trying to go back to sleep after woken up in night. Lower stomach cramps. Aching limbs. General feeling of being in a trance whilst dizzy. Dark urine, urinating more frequently. Loss of appetite. | I am also taking 500mg twice a day of Clarithromycin so may be a mixture of the 2 as taken them before for a dental problem but don't think I felt this weird. This is my 4th day of taking and another 3 days to go...hopefully this is all I'll get and as I'm 3.5 days in I'd have thought it should be. Nasty anti-biotic but hopefully it'll work. | F | 31 | 7 days 400 mg 3X day | 12/4/2012 | 1 | gum infection | Runny nose, extreme nausea, upset stomach, itchy skin, headaches, tiredness, confusion , flu like symptoms | F | 27 | 1 days | 11/17/2012 | 4 | Dry socket after tooth extraction | Overwhelming fatigue - too weak to get out of bed. Sudden big bouts of nausea leading to dry retching (which seems to relieve the nausea). Very thirsty for water. No appetite at all. Relatively sleepless. | If it does the job it's probably worth it, but I was unprepared by my dentist for how this would make me feel. Have lost several days of work as a result. At the moment I'm on day3 out of a 7-day course. | F | 49 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 11/16/2012 | 1 | Bv | Horrible taste in mouth, vomitting nightmares. Taking this pill makes me gag and feel sick to my stomach I am also pregnant. The taste is unbearable so to help take a little peice of bread and wrap it around the pill. Makes it a little hard to swallow but no nasty taste. | F | 19 | 7 days 2x D | 10/27/2012 | 4 | infection | I took my last dose last night...i have to go back to doctor for a follow up in a few weeks, but as for side effects...they were dark urine, itching, dull head ache, dry mouth, nasty taste..severe thirsting. Itchy head. But overall not anything that i couldnt handle again if needed. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 mg | 10/19/2012 | 1 | HPV | This drug made me feel like I was going absolutely insane. I couldn't think straight, I was constantly worrying about things, out of no where became depressed, doubts and confusion about my life, horrible taste in mouth, random crying, nauseated all the time, randomly broke out in a sweat and felt like I was going to throw up, shaking, fast heart rate, incredibly moody, weird dreams. NEVER will I EVER take anything like this again. Like everyone else has said, I am so glad I saw other people having the same side effects made me feel like there was hope that I wasn't just going crazy. I had no idea a medication could affect someone so much as a person this bad. All I can do now is never take it again, and pray that I will recover and go back to normal. | F | 19 | 500mg 3X day | 10/8/2012 | 3 | C diff | Dark urine, depression, cold sweats, feeling foggy, loss of appetite , metallic taste it mouth , bloated feeling, nightmares, anxiety, confusion | F | 28 | 10 days 500 | 10/6/2012 | 2 | vaginitis | horrible nausea and headaches, some vomiting | This medicine made me feel terrible- like I had the flu | F | 24 | 7 days 500 2X day | 10/4/2012 | 2 | cyst removed followed by infection. | Nausea...metallic taste in mouth...diarrea...achey like flu symptoms...slight itching...loss of appetite...very tired...strange dreams...insomnia..headaches first few days...dizziness | F | 43 | 10 days 500 mg 3xs | 10/4/2012 | 1 | Bv | Anxiety, feeling gross, fever, vomiting. | F | 18 | 7 days 500 | 9/30/2012 | 5 | Dental Abscess | Furry Teeth!! Constantly after day 5! I was tired, breathless & sick but I was lost in a haze of pain and SO I can't say what this particular drug caused. | I was on double dosage for first day and on extra dosage via I.V. also on the third day. Was on Amoxicillin trihydrate 500mg for the same time (3/day, double first day, plus IV third day). This seems to have cleared up my abscess... they are still monitoring it. My abscess was so bad and so sudden that the whole left side of my face swelled from my jaw to my eye within 48 hours and thats while I was on the antobiotics. | F | 36 | 8 days 400mg 3X day | 9/25/2012 | 1 | BV | This antibiotic put me on my butt! Plus i started my period so i was double tired. I felt exhausted, major anxiety, cold/flu like symptoms of neck and shoulder pain, night sweats, diziness. I have taken this med in the past and dont remember this side effect. It could have been a different dosage. Home from work today...only two more days thank goodness! | Seems to be working for clearing up BV. Taking accuflora probiotic with it so i hopefully dont get a yeast infection. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 9/24/2012 |
