| 1 | Bacterial Infection | Bad stomach cramps, feeling very tired and got sore eyes and generally feeling quite sick. I have been crying for no reason and had suicidal dreams last night. | absolutely horrible! I have to take this tablet 4 times a day for 2 weeks, im only at the beginning of day 2! I don't know if I could put up with this stomach pain much more, and the nightmares i have been having has scared me half to death. I will see how it goes but may go to doctor to get something different. | F | 20 | 2 weeks 200mg 4X day | 9/21/2012 | 1 | BV | Headache, neck ache, pain in joints, rash, metallic taste, itching | I was warned about this medication stating that it may make me ill. listen to them and dont take it. I stopped taking it 3 days ago and I am still coming out in a rash. It started on my arms and is now all over my legs. I stopped on the advice of my GP but at the time it was only on my arms (which he thought was strange) now it has developed more. The headaches are bad too and today there is shortness of breath 3 days after stopping it. I hope it doesnt last much longer. I would welcome other remedy advice for BV. | F | 49 | 3 days 400 2X day | 9/16/2012 | 1 | C. Diff infection | Fatigue, severe headaches, severe muscle and joint aches, irritability, depression, flu-like symptoms, neck pain, jaw pain and swelling, shakiness, sweating, fever and chills. | If there is any way to avoid this medication, I would! Or be prepared for some heavy duty side effects. Strangely, I had taken this med before and didn't have any problems other than a little nausea and bad taste in my mouth. I have to say, flagyl seems to be working on the c.diff, but with all the side effects I seriously thought I had meningitis or something. Within a few days I thought I was coming down with a cold or flu, then I had headaches and low grade fever and then came the random 10 out of 10 jaw pain and swelling. I could barely open my mouth. I'm sure these awful side effects will go away, so I will keep with the meds. However, BE PREPARED for a not so fun ride if you are prescribed this med. | F | 32 | 5 days 500 mg 3X day | 9/15/2012 | 1 | Bv | Horrible! Made me angry and anxious and very very moody. I was very tired and irritable. Then on the 3rd day of taking it my entire stomach and front of my thighs were experiencing a burning sensation. I stopped taking the antibiotic as soon as I experienced the burning after reading about neuropathy that can result from this antibiotic. It has helped clear up my bv, let's hope I have enough in my system. Do not take this antibiotic unless you have no other options. | F | 37 | 3 days 500 mg 2x | 9/14/2012 | 1 | gum infection | I had very sore gums , when i took these tabs it just got extremely worse. I had to take 4 paracetamol 500mgs to get rid of it. | M | 58 | 5 days 200 3X day | 9/12/2012 | 5 | BV | If there's a side effect to get, I usually have it, but I didn't even get my usual antibiotic bad stomach with this drug. I did get quite bloated and have an unusual amount of wind, but nothing serious! I started taking this in the midst of a horrible feverish cold, and I was dreading the antibiotic symptoms on top of it, but it only improved and the foggy head lifted, along with the BV | F | 26 | 7 days 500mg | 9/11/2012 | 1 | BV | intestinal distress, cramps, severe abdominal pain, severe lower back pain progressing to back and stomach spasms, general feeling of listlessness, slight dizziness | The abdominal cramps and back pain is so severe I can barely function. I will never take this medication again. | F | 40 | 3 days 500MG 2X day | 9/8/2012 | 5 | vaginitis | Very nervous to take due to bad reviews, however besides metallic taste and thirsty all is good. Day 4 of 5(not a option to put 5) but I feel soooo much better. Wait the whole prescription and some before you attempt sex as infection wont go if too soon. | F | 40 | 6 days 500 | 9/5/2012 | 3 | Infection after wisdom tooth out | It seems to be clearing the infection but I feel dreadful. Flu like aching all over body, heavy muscles, bad dreams, waking up panicking, back of my neck is so sore, vague headaches, vague stomach ache. Worst of all are the body aches though, I feel like I have ran a marathon. V unpleasant. Got 3 days left I don't know if I can handle it! | F | 29 | 4 days 400mg x3 | 8/28/2012 | 1 | wisdom tooth extraction | Utterly horrible! Started 24 hours after first dose with numbness in my feet, which then spread to my hands. Bloated 'windy' stomach. Dark and frequent urine.Then on day 3 came the nausia and a tight chested feeling (felt like I was on the verge of a panic attack - very anxious), unable to concentrate. Then came neck pain. After 3 days of this I called my dentist who advised to stop taking the pills. Side effects subsided over the next few days. But 4 days after I stopped taking it, I developed a blistering sore rash on the tops of my hands and lower arms, eyelids and feet. Now taking antihistamines to control the rash. Now 8 days since I stopped taking metronidazole and rash is still present but not quite as aggressive. Hands and feet still tingle but feeling is slowly returning. | Unless you have taken this drug before with no adverse reactions, I'd strongly advise not to take it. Ask your doctor/dentist/pharmacist for an alternative. I'm a healthy, active 29 year old male with no history of allergy or reaction, but this drug has made me feel worse than I have ever felt in my life. If you're suffering from similar side effects you have my sympathy. Don't delay speaking to your doctor if any of these side effects are present. | M | 29 | 5 days 500 3X day | 8/22/2012 | 4 | BV | I'm on my fifth day of metronidazole for BV and it has been quite interesting. I'm not sure if I got a cold the same day I started but here are all the symptoms I've had: -anxiety attacks, narrow vision -severe stomach pain -sore throat -stuffy nose -stuff neck -hearing loss, I imagined because Im so backed up If its from the cold then the stomach pain and anxiety attacks which I've only had three times is definitely from thr meds. Just throwing this out there but midis also gave me an anxiety attack. I actually felt like I was on drugs the whole time. Misconbobulated. Hope this helps. I'm not complaining because it fixed the BV its just very powerful. | F | 26 | 7 days 100mg | 8/21/2012 | 2 | Abcesses | metallic taste, dizziness, nausea, possibly carcinogenic effect, but can't be proved | I had over 3 weeks on intravenous metronidzole in February 2011 for Abcesses. It did the job at the time, but was mixed with two other antibiotics, gentomyocine and tycoplanin. Lots of side effects as mentioned, but manageable. About 4 months later I started to feel very I'll with similar abcess problems, but also a lot more pain. By December it was so bad I ended up in hospital with a tumour having a colostomy. I have had Crohn's disease for about 20 years. Looked at side effects today because I still have the abcess problem and they can't start the chemotherapy because of it. I am on metronidozole again and feeling horrible, then I read that one of the side effects is carcinoma in patients with crohn's disease. I am now very worried. I don't need the cancer to come back! I have another week on it yet! | F | 46 | 2 weeks 400mg 3X day | 8/19/2012 | 1 | amoebic infection E.Hystollitica | nausea, irritable, aggressive, loss of appetite, unable to focus, some weakness in the legs, bitter taste n mouth | The Doctor warned me that this pill will probably make you feel unwell. If the Doc knows this then why does it then have a 'middle' rating. This was my 2nd attempt at eradicating the amoeba. The first attempt was just 500Mg x 3 per day and it didn't work | M | 55 | 10 days 750Mg 3X day | 8/19/2012 | 1 | infection | Jaw pain, anxiety, heart racing, can't sleep, ect ect .. horrible medicine. I only took the pill twice and my jaw still feels awful .. | F | 20 | 2 days | 8/18/2012 | 1 | Tooth Infection | Vomitting after only one tablet, fatigue but unable to sleep. Sweating, fever, acting crazy, didnt help the pain. Stopped on day 2 and changed to another antibiotic yet still unable to keep anything down except dry toast. Worse experience ever. Although reviews here have reassured me im not alone. | F | 27 | 1 days | 8/9/2012 | 3 | Tooth infection | Bitter taste in mouth and felt really insecure and paranoid completely out of the blue. | It does seem to have reduced the swelling, so effective, but side effects not too pleasant. | F | 33 | 3 days 400 3X day | 8/8/2012 | 1 | after dental surgery | After taking only 4 tablets had pounding headache and severe red rash round my feet and ankles. I have peripheral neuropathy, for about 12 years, and have since discovered Metronidazole can cause this! Even 4 tablets have definitely made it worse. Nor do I have parasites which I see this drug is used against. Doctors!! | F | 82 | 2 days ? | 8/4/2012 | 5 | garndella vaginalis | yeah i couldnt drink water without tasty bitter | F | 32 | 7 days 400mg | 7/30/2012 | 3 | Tooth infection | Agonising stomach cramps with trapped wind. Bloating. Painful bladder. Loose stools. | This is the 2nd time on this drug and both times have had the same symptoms. Cannot stand straight due to the awful stomach pains. | F | 63 | 5 days 400 3X day | 7/28/2012 | 4 | Stomach infection | nausea, weakness | F | 27 | 10 days 500 mg | 7/27/2012 |
