 4  BV Terrible insomnia (less than 4hrs of sleep per night), sour mouth, and I have been SO tired. I've done little sleep nights in a row but have never felt this tired before in my life. I haven't had any severe stomach cramps or dizziness but have felt overall icky for days. I don't think I will be taking this medication again. It seems I was "lucky" this time, but I won't chance worse symptoms next time. F 21 7 days

 4  diverticulitis Let's keep this site fresh, as the side effects were vicious. I got terrified until I found this site near the end of my course and found out many other people had the same issues. Thank You everyone! The worst was the weird mental state. Second worst was a horrible muscle-type ache in neck. Third was fuzzy tongue.If I had known would be so bad, wouldn't have started it while husband on business trip. Put off calling doctor because I had 2 kids to stay with and she had mumbled something about putting me in hospital. Figured I could always call an ambulance. Hung in there, but was really spacey, moody, scared and weak. This all happened a year ago. The medicine completely treated the diverticulitis. I needed antifungul medicine as followup for fungal tongue infection. I think my diverticulistis is back now and I'm scared to use this again. F 57 7 days

 1  Tooth Infection Dizzy, insomnia, tightening in chest, lower intestines constantly gurgling like my stomach was empty, loss of appetite, random bleeding and period not due for two weeks, brain fog, bad taste in mouth, rash on one arm and etc etc! What the hell was my dentist thinking when he prescribed me this?? I developed an infection after a root canal and my face swelled and he calls this stuff in. I ate before every pill and do not drink alcohol, and felt worse on these pills. I was really starting to think the infection was spreading to my brain and other areas due to all these side effects. Thankfully I googled all my issues and found this site. I gave this same stuff to my dog years ago for a parasite I wonder how the poor thing felt. Ask for a different antibiotic if you DR/DDS tries to give you this crap! F 42 4.5 days

 1  Diverticulitis This is a horrible drug. Iwas in the hospital for 4 days and received this thru my IV. I also took it for 2 days after that at home. I developed a severe rash and hives by the third day. During the first two days I was itching everywhere. I have had anxiety problems in the past, but this drug made me feel incredibly weird. I became angry and sad at times and felt like I was going to have a panic attack while in the hospital. I paced the room at night, had cramping, constipation, and bloating. By the the third day my vein collapsed in the IV. They movedte IV 2 more times until I finally told them no more! I told the surgeon many times but he refused to believe that the drug was causing any problems. My family doctor finally was te one who said stop the drug 5 days later. I had to have steroids and take benadryl for 7 days because of the rash and hives. I kept calling my wife while I was in the hospital to come and get me as my anxiety became so bad. Don't take this drug! i will not take this drug again! M 50 5 days

 4  BV None Didn't want to take it at first but decided to at least try one dosage and see what side effects I had, everyone reacts differently. I toss the pill to the back of my throat and take with a lot of water so didn't get much metallic aftertaste. Always ate a full meal at least 15 prior to dosage. Took each at the exact same time 12 hours apart, 7am and 7pm. I'm half way through my 7 days, I feel fine, and symptoms seem to be clearing. Good luck! F 32 7 days

 4  BV I have taken a 1 week course before and remember feeling so out of it like the walking dead. Dizziness, nausea numbness in limbs and depression. Helped with the infection but lots of yeast probs after. This time on the 200 mg dose I split it up to 2doses of 100mg 8 hrs apart. Right after taking them I ate a huge amount of plain yogart. And ate it throughout the day This was the key I think. Ionly experienced side effects for a couple hours after each dose. 3 days later infection is gone with no yeast or sensitivity. But it did bring on my period a week early. No odor though not even the mild normal one usually at period time. F 25 1 days

 2  Bacterial infection dry mouth, neck pain, nightmares like horror movies Hollywood couldn't come up with, confusion, lost of appetite, panick attacks, dizziness, mood swings, paranoia I am - somewhat - relieved to read those comments since I am taking 2250 MG a day! (yes 3 pills of 250mg 3 x day). Day 1 and 2 were ok, I'm only in day three and I woke up this morning with the worse nightmare ever. I felt the whole day like I was on a cloud... I had a panik attak shortly after I took my second row of pills of the day. To make it short I'm not looking forward to the 7 days left! M 38 10 days

 3  BV Nausea, diarrhoea, extreme fatigue, dizziness, foggy feeling, tearful, anxious, itchy Only 2 and a half days left on this med. Its a nightmare and I just hope its worth it. My symptoms have improved a bit, but I feel so weak and the side effects are exhausting and making me feel anxious. Only tips I have are to take it on a very full stomach with plenty of water. I have had to munch on rye crackers all day long to stop me feeling too sick. F 37 7 days

 3  BV Total confusion, lethargy, memory loss, dry, sour mouth. Terrible headache on the day of taking it. Bad dreams. Depression. I've taken this medication before but in much smaller doses over a longer period of time, so I can only deduce that the dose I was given was too high. It is exactly 24hrs after taking it and I still feel like crap. F 28 1 days

 2  BV I did not like taking this medication. The only side effects that I experienced were dark urine and that HORRIBLE metallic taste. I had to take this with lemonade or grape juice to avoid the metallic taste. I finished taking this yesterday and do not think that my BV is cleared. In fact I think it made my symptoms much worse. Going to the doctor in the morning. Will never take this again! F 28 7 days
