 3  Dry Socket (wisdom tooth removal) Extreme nausea, stomach ache, complete loss of appetite, insomnia, mild headaches, extreme fatigue, dizziness, anxious feelings. Generally a hungover feeling ever since I started taking the drug. I stopped taking the drugs two days ago and still have all the symptoms just on a minor scale. Its a drug that works but the side effects maybe aren't worth it. I had to take this medication after developing a dry socket after wisdom tooth removal. It stopped an infection from occurring but I have never felt so sick in my life! Make sure you definitely need to take this medication before trying!!! F 22 7 days

 3  Infected tooth Drug very good at attacking the pain problem in the tooth and gave relief in a few hours. I had dark urine but not for long. Did suffer from increased urination. On day 4 I started to suffer from a bloated stomach then pain in my ovary region. I then suffered a lot of stomach pain. It felt as if I have been very constipated but I was not. I have the furriest tongue ever, most uncomfortable.I have a great feeling of pressure in my pelvic region. I finished the tablets two days ago and things seem to be slowly getting back to normal.

 3  BV Severe Headache, eye sockets aching, stiff neck, swollen glands, flu like symptons, night sweats, heart palpitations, panicky, tearful, sinus pain I was prescribed this drug during a miscarriage, after a swab revealed BV. On top of going through the emotional and physical pain of that, I have also had to suffer these grim side effects. Grateful for this site. I had had no side effects of BV and would not have know that I had it. so have no idea if this drug has actually helped or not! I will be finishing the course of tablets though. F 36 8 days

 3  Tooth infection Depression, feeling as if nothing in the world matters (not at all like me), nausea, mood swings, loss of apetite and loss of will to do anything at all, tiredness without the ability of sleeping, headache, tingling in the body Ok, so my dentist prescribed metronidazole because of the severe pains in my tooth that I've been getting non stop, it hasnt really done that much of a difference I think there were more side effects rather than any help it had, it did numb the pain slightly but its still there F 18 5 days

 1  divoticulitus & later tooth abcess dizzy woolly, brain fog, rash on forehead, exhausted, tired all the time bloated tingling on front of legs below knees and back of hands. Panic attacks on waking diarrhoea told by my neuro specialist this drug has caused a blip in my brain and to try healing to restore brain back to normal. Have done this but the healing only lasts about 3 days when all the above symptoms go completely but return so this drug causes serious brain damage and stomach upset. As I had been given this antibiotic previously for 6 years and went tired but drs thought I had ME, how wrong they were not associating the drug with my condition. I still have tiredness, exhaustion, tingling on shins some 3 years later!! Going to healers has cured rash, bloating, nightmares, but what about the remainder? I do keep positive thoughts but I am still ill all these years later. THIS DRUG SHOULD BE BANNED..there are other antibiotics not so dangerous. please stop allowing it on the market too many people are tired exhausted etc for life because of it. Is there anything plus 'healing' which sorts the mind back to normal - but not drugs perhaps it is not suitabe for older people either F 73 6 days

 1  BV dry mouth, drinking lots, urinating lots. crying for no reason, horrid thoughts, felt like life is not worth living, feel like i could kill someone one minute, fatigued the next. palpitations. i am just so grateful for this site, thought i would end up commiting suicide and i didnt know why. didnt realise it could be the medication until my daughter, who is a dental nurse, told me about the possible side effects. i am sure there must be some other medication and that this should not be prescribed F 52 5 days
