| 1 | tooth abscess | Within an hour of taking the first tablet I started to feel achey in my leg and arm muscles, a couple of hours after I started to get a migraine, felt dizzy, nauseous and started sweating a lot. After sleeping for 16 hours, still had a slight headache. Took the next tablet later that day and had no noticeable side-effects, only slight sweating. Finished the course, though it didn't do anything to clear up the abscess and felt fine. A few days later started to get anxious thoughts about dying. a week after finishing the course these thoughts still keep coming. I get thoughts that my heart is failing and that i'll die when I go to sleep. They seem completely rational thoughts, and even though I know in reality they are false, they seem so real. I'm hoping these feelings will subside very soon. | I will refuse to take these again if prescribed. They did nothing for what I was taking them for, and the side effects have been too horrible to go through again. | M | 33 | 6 days 400mg 3X day | 1/19/2012 | 1 | Pilonidal Cyst | Horrible headaches, dizziness, extreme thirst, cottonmouth, metallic taste, darkened urine, extreme fatigue, stabbing abdominal pain, cloudy thinking, nightmares, elevated heart rate, tremors...felt like I was going to pass out. | I have never EVER taken a medication this awful in my life. The worst part is the doctor that prescribed it never even warned me of the side effects! Just nonchalantly said she was putting me on 2 antibiotics. There were several times I thought I was going to pass out at my desk at work. I was drinking over 2 gallons of water a day. I would just come home from work and go to bed. I'm adamant about taking medications for the prescribed length of time but I just couldn't do this one anymore. I've never felt impending doom the way I did on this drug. | F | 26 | 10 days 500 MG 3X day | 1/15/2012 | 5 | Infection after Dental extraction | worked fantastic for me took amoxicillin for a week before them and had no effect on infection was in terrible pain but after 2days on these the infection started to clear.

I also drink a small glass of milk to help the nasty taste that lingers even after taking the bill. | F | 26 | 7 days 500 2X day | 1/7/2012 | 2 | Periodontitis | Severe migraines, constipation, nausea, severe drowsiness, disorientation, stiff neck, heavy head, tingling in arms and legs and unable to think properly or remember what I am trying to say. | F | 27 | 7 days 20mg | 1/7/2012 | 2 | Bacterial Infection | Extreme nausea, nasty taste in mouth and headaches. | I am also pregnant so maybe that has to do with it but this stuff makes me VERY sick and I'm dread even taking it now because I know about 30 minutes prior I'll vomit and have very bad stomach aches. | F | 16 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 1/3/2012 | 1 | surgery infected cyst removal | METRONIDAZOLE surgery infected cyst removal allergic reaction to medicine jaundice and rash on top centre forehead brown streak down centre of tongue extreme tiredness on Iv drip pre and post operation, when put on oral version within about 48 hrs of taking pills then pancreatitis and sudden fatigue had to lie down on kitchen floor when tried to rise 15 minutes later could only sit down and walk around on knees so some leg paralysis; after 30 minutes of this situation and managing to eat some food and drink by walking round kitchen on knees then fire alarm went off which gave me shot of adrenaline could then stand up….. stopped taking it would never take it again….. | my brother said also caused him paralysis when given to him abroad , no hesitation ban this monster drug it also causes serrotonin effects not given on leaflst warnings so they are hiding some side effects that are longer term damage | M | 59 | 4 days 500 3X day | 1/3/2012 | 3 | Root Canal Infection | Slight Sick to Stomach Feeling, Better Taken With Food Shakey and Tense Feeling, Slight Confused Feeling, Sometimes Feel Breathless and Hyperactive When Dosage is Taken Till it Wears Off Some . | I Can Deal With The Side Effects as Long as it is Getting Rid of The Tooth Infection. First Time Taking This Medication. I Was Told by The Pharmacy NOT To Drink Alcohal.

Makes stomach feel sick sometimes. Tired feeling. | It has helped me in the past get by an infection that was resistance to most antibiotics, but has bad side effects. I hate taking it, but don't have a choice some times. | M | 42 | 7 days 500mg 4X day | 12/28/2011 | 5 | BV | Bad taste in mouth, dry mouth | I was scared to death to take this after reading all these reviews. I had it for 2 weeks before taking. I had only the 2 minor side effects listed and coated the pill with peanut butter to disguise the taste of it. Worked pretty well, but did wake up in mornings with a little bad taste in mouth. It totally got rid of the BV as well! | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/22/2011 | 1 | Heliobacter Pylori | Agonizing stomach pains, painful bloating, increased urination, stabbing pains in my back, psychosis | Was terrified that there was somebody at my desk in the middle of the night frantically writing. Heard strange noises at windows and doors. Psychosis got worse at night. Thought my stomach wall had burst the pain was that bad. I wasn't in too much pain with H. Pylori nightly indigestion but this is ridiculous. I doubled over in pain with agonizing muscle spasms along my back and stomach. Had to get a friend to help me walk to the kitchen. Can't eat food, feel and look extremely bloated | F | 22 | 7 days 400mg 2X day | 12/18/2011 | 1 | INFECTION AFTER BLADDER SURGERY | I FEEL LIKE MY HEAD IS BUZZING AND I BECOME EXTREMELY DIZZY WHEN STANDING OR MOVING MY HEAD OR EYES.

The result was immediate and severe infection through my soft tissue of my cheek and jaw bone. I am allergic to over 8 antibiotics, so I was left with little option my the time I was hospitalized a week later. I was given Metronidazole in the hospital by IV, 4 times a day for 9 days. I was blindsided by how terrible I felt. My health was and still is in a precarious and serious condition. I began to feel the side effects immediately and was never told my terrible symptoms were due to this medication. This continued for 9 days, I was taken home and still on Metro at this time but 1/4 the dose I was on in hospital. I thought I was panicking and going insane until I found this forum. Thank God for all of your comments. You gave me peace that I wasn't going crazy. I hope to be well soon, I'm still on Outpatient IV Levoquin once a day and Metro orally 3 times a day. I need this to end and I hope I can get my health back. My face continues to be infected. I urge anyone to find a different antibiotic if you can, don't put your mind and your loved ones through such stress, as you cannot control any of these symptoms. I do believe the drug works though. | F | 45 | 21 days 250 MG 4X day | 12/6/2011 | 2 | BV | Nausea, Dark urine, Increased BV effects, Headaches, Extreme fatigue, Chills, Vivid dreams.. | I was diagnosed with BV when i got my IUD put in. I was also prescribed Vicodin for IUD pain with the antibiotic. I took my first pill with my vic and little to no food. It kicked in pretty hard about an hour after taking it and I crawled in bed extremely nauseated with chills and extreme fatigue. Since then I have religiously eatten a full meal before taking this medicine to avoid any nausea and havent touched a drop of alcohol (although I have terrible cravings!!) BUT I have been experiencing the BV side effects, where I had hardly any before taking this crap! Itching, burning while urinating, very dark urine and discharge. I started my period early, but that could be from the IUD also, so unsure. Currently, I dont know if the infection is getting better. It better be, because this almost isn't worth it. | F | 23 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/6/2011 | 2 | gastro bacterial infection | Lightheaded,weak,tired,sense of confusion,stomach feels very sore | F | 27 | 7 days - | 12/3/2011 |
