 4  BV - The biggest caveat is the cravings for sweets. I would want them all the time. Like cupcakes (but more so the frosting), donuts, candy.... - Ended up with weight gain from the sweets. - very irritable and big mood swings (I also have cyclothymia, so I think this just increased the symptoms) - headaches and fatigue - clumpy white discharge - lower abdominal pain/cramping The medication works though and the side effects weren't that bad. It was only for 5 days so it isn't a big deal. The benefits outweigh the side effects. F 25 5 days

 1  Helicobacter On the second day while I was teaching my legs and arms got num and I had slight tingles here and there in my body later, I immediately discontinued and after searching for side effects I got suspicious because I never had this problem before. Searching for the side effects I came here and I'm horrified! Today is the seventh day after stopping it and I still feel occasional numbness and tingling esp in my arms legs and much less frequently in my other parts of the body. Tired eyes it's difficult for me to study and staring was difficult for me now a little better. After reading the comments I was so scared that I couldn't sleep without a sleeping pill 😭 All of a sudden I feel stiff and swollen inside I don't know why I'm experiencing this horrible feeling after only 3 or 4 doses!!!! And how long will it last maybe it's the immune system responce that's out of control and dexamethasone could solve the problem and inflammation I should consult with a neurologist. F 35 1 days

 3  H. Pylori Initially did not have any issues. However on about day 5 of 14 the metallic taste in my mouth turned into a swollen and raw tongue that was very uncomfortable. That coupled with a dry mouth made eating very difficult despite the fact I was extremely hungry. I also experienced high blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue, weakness and anxiety. Had to quit medication on day 13 for fear for my ultimate health. While this medication is probably effective, I think this drug is one of last resort. Giant warning labels should come with this drug. M 63 14 days

 1  Gum infection I haven't taken these for the last 4 days now and I'm still having side effects, headaches, dizziness, nausea sometimes vomitting.. feeling of worry and panic, lose stools, constant foggyness in my head. Hot and cold flushes, like feverish.. my infection hasn't cleared either.. so awaiting to hear back from dentist. These antibiotics are lethal!! I'd happily never take them again. They have made me so ill. F 31 7 days

 4  BV Extreme itch in and around the vagina all 5 days while using the gel. No other mental or physical side effect. The white cottage cheese discharged did show up but it's the medicine getting rid of the bacteria. Would only show up when urinating. It did not appear on my underwear. F 30 5 days

 5  Bv I was scared to take this because of all the bad reviews but it wasn't bad for me at all. I think I just have gotten lucky! I only had fatigue and a slight headache sometimes. I took it with applesauce or yogurt so I could not taste the coating and I never tasted it at all taking it like that. I took 2 pills per day, 12 hours apart for 7 days. I think it did clear up the smell and discharge from BV. I didn't drink any alcohol at all. F 23 7 days

 3  Gastrointestinal infection Unpleasant, hideous, grim nightmares, not for the faint hearted and bizarre sexual dreams too, not good either. Freud would have a field day. Frequent urination and headaches along the upper brow. It's the first and most definitely the last I will take this medication. If I'm offered it again in the future by a doctor, it will be a NO!!!!

 1  Travel parasites in digestive tract Severe headaches, neck stiffness, abdominal cramping and sharp pains, back pain, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea (5 to 10+ x a day) chills, extreme fatigue, dissassociated feelings, dark urine, confusion, bloating, metallic taste in mouth, very dry mouth Ended up in the hospital on day 3 as the side effects were SO bad. Apparently picked up 6 parasites in digestive tract from traveling. 2250mg a day for 10 days. The pains were so bad I was looked at for appendicitis. Not sure if it's working but not sure the side effects are worth it. I don't think this should be the first medication doctors prescribe. Have never felt worse in my life! F 28 10 days

 2  BV like most on all 86 pages of reviews I immediately felt exhausted, headache,anxiety. There is a long history of big pharma cover ups about medications, this is potentially another of those. It needs some serious attention to understand why such a "Beneficial " medication makes everyone (women in particular) feel like hell when taking it, I have only taken 2 pills of a 7 day 14 pill regimen BUT I will not take another one unless my life depends upon it.I believe this is bad medicine. I learned to check these reviews as of this prescription, i will never pick up a new prescription from a pharmacy until I research other patient reviews. F 52 1 days

 3  Wisdom tooth/bone infection Sickness, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, exhaustion. It is not a pleasant drug, but due to the pain I was in I felt left with no choice. It did start to work on the third day but I had to trade being ill from my infection to being ill from this medication. The side effects are awful, but it works. I'm still a little sore and very tired and have no idea how long the after effects will last but I will cope with that as long as I'm no longer in pain. F 32 5 days

 1  H.Pylori I was supposed to be on this med for 14 days, but could only make it 10 days. My headaches were almost constant once I started take it. The pain behind my eyes were achy and stabbing feeling. I feel off balance and not happy. I already have nerve problems from spinal issues, but this med intensified it. I will never take this medication again. It's been 2 days since I been off and my upper back nd eyes are still hurting. M 52 10 days
