| 1 | Bacterial Infection | I was dizzy, had headaches, nasty taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away, extreme nausea that wouldn't go away, depression got way worse | I only took it for 5 days. I had thought maybe I was just sick the first couple of days so a nurse told me to try again, and i just felt the same, I had to go see a doctor and he told me to stop it. The feeling it gave me wasn't close to feeling good and it made me feel horrible | F | 26 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 12/2/2011 | 1 | c-dif | C-dif can reoccur!!! Horrible side effects. Hard to breathe, swallow, and think clearly. Dr. said to stick with it but this is the second time in 2 1/2 months! Would like to try vancomycin or a NEW drug for c-dif that has come out recently. | Please get rechecked within a month or two of being told you are cured!!!!!! There is a great chance of reoccurance and it would be better to catch it EARLY. | F | 70 | 11 days 250 mg 3X day | 12/1/2011 | 1 | Pelvic infection | I hate this drug. It makes me shaky, depressed, moody, sweaty, gave me a yeast infection, horrible sinus headaches and weak. I just wanna lay here and die. Never taking this again!'nn | F | 24 | 7 days 500 mg | 11/30/2011 | 3 | Tooth infection | Ok so for the first pill I took at night and I was extremely sick, tired, shaking, my heart was pounding very hard and I had a very heavy head, but after I had started to take them DURING my meals or when ever I ate I only experienced tiredness and a small headache. As for them working for my infection the pain has gone but my cheek is extremely swollen from the first day of taking them, I wouldn't take them again unless I am really happy with the results and the infection is gone before I finish the course, but just remember to take them during meals! It helps! | F | 20 | 7 days 400mg | 11/24/2011 | 1 | toothache | After taking 3 tablets on day 1 I felt dizzy. The following morning I took tablet 4 with a drink of water and toast and passed out almost immediately resulting in a broken ankle which I am nursing now with my leg plastered up to the knee! About 10 minutes after I came round I vomited. | I would NEVER take Metronidazole again or recommend it to anyone. I still suffer from neck ache , 3 weeks after the event. I have never had such an immediate or disastrous result form any medication. This antibiotic should be reassessed and prpoer monitering take place. | F | 64 | 7 days 3X day | 11/23/2011 | 4 | Gum infection near wisdom tooth | Brief spells of hyperactivity, paranoina and confusion. | Before I was perscribed Metronidazole I had to take 8-10 painkillers a day to cope with my toothache but it seemed to do the job. | M | 29 | 5 days 200 MG 3X day | 11/21/2011 | 1 | Intestinal Infection | Flu-like symptoms--achy, significant fatigue, severe headaches (not generally an ailment I experience at all), irritability, depression, reduced breath capacity | I would have never taken this medication if my doctor had alerted me to these side-effects. I have experienced approximately 50% functional capacity at work and at home. | F | 54 | 5 days 500 mg 3X day | 11/20/2011 | 1 | Stomach Parasite | Let me first say I was SO glad to see everyone else has had the same side effects. I thought I was going CRAZY! I already felt nauseated but the medicine increased it tremendously. I'm constantly weak and shakey, absolutely ZERO energy (even with coffee and caffeine), headaches, feeling WAY more emotional that my typical womanly emotions, VERY forgetful and wording things so incredibly wrong, constipated, and weight loss due to complete lack of appetite with the nausea. I am planning my wedding and was beyond excited until starting this medication. Now I see the planning as gloomy and just can't seem to be excited about anything. | I have to take a pill every 6 hours for 10 days (which feels like 10 years) and absolutely HATE it and how it makes me feel. However, I am praying that all these side effects are worth the wellness that should follow! | F | 24 | 10 days 500 4X day | 11/17/2011 | 2 | BV | It was the most horrendous antibiotic I have ever been on. First day taking it I was so dizzy and so sick I fell off my chair at work, throughout the week I took it I felt dizzy, sick, severe headaches, light headed and exhausted, I had the worst taste in my mouth which I used to wake up in the middle of the night with and drinking water just didnt cut it so had to keep a big glass of orange cordial near me. I also for the first few days of it had terrible Cold and Flu symptoms which was an additional pain in the ass. I am just finished now :) | F | 21 | 1 weeks 3X day | 11/13/2011 | 3 | c-diff | metalic taste in mouth, brownish urine, nausea, excessive urination, difficulty sleeping, generally feeling bad, weak | horrible drug, ruins the quality of life while on it. I am on my last 2 pills and debating whether to take them. I don't recommend eating dairy or sugar while on this. The one time I did (yogurt, which someone said would help with nausea) made it much much worse. | M | 52 | 14 days 500 mg 3X day | 11/10/2011 | 1 | BV | Killed the BV but ended up with severe yeast infetion that lasted 5 months. | I will never take it again | F | 43 | 7 days 2X day | 11/6/2011 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Bad taste and dry mouth, dry sinuses and eyes, burning with urination, dark urine, dizziness, fatigue, confusion, vivid dreaming, panic attacks, stabbing sensations mostly in stomach that seem to connect with other nerves in arm and legs | I didn't realize what was happening to me until I read the comments. The dark urine worried me. A nurse told me it was not a side effect. Now I see it is! Whew.. Just took my last pill today. Since the side affects are similar to my infection's symptoms, not sure if its all cleared up yet or not. However the 7 days were bearable with plenty of water and a fully tummy. This cannot be the best nor healthiest option to cure an infection though so I do not recommend it. | F | 26 | 7 days 400mg 2X day | 11/6/2011 | 3 | bv | Dry mouth, nagging headache, nausea, fatigue, darker urine, decreased appetite, cold | I'm on day 4---if it works--I can tolerate it for a total of 7 days. First time I have ever had any significant side effects with an anti-biotic. | F | 55 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 11/5/2011 | 1 | Infection | Dizziness, cant sleep, upset stomach, and disoriented! | F | 24 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 11/4/2011 | 1 | Precaution after dental work | Headaches, dry mouth, metallic taste, fatigue, dizziness, depressive thoughts, sense of confusion | Following dental work this was prescribed as a precaution against possible infection. I would have MUCH preferred the infection. My thought processes have confused, I have felt depressed and emotionally at a standstill. The headaches have been terrible, at times like my brain was either pounding the inside of my skull or that it was actually sitting outside of my head. Overall an unpleasant sense of otherworldliness. AVOID!! | M | 45 | 4 days 3X day | 11/3/2011 | 1 | Gastro bacterial infection | Dizziness, flushing, difficulty concentrating, feeling of impending doom | Unlike others, I have had no metallic taste. But I found this site because I was worried-I felt so poorly. I now see why. I kept reading the circular...didn't seem as bad as I feel. Nice to know it isn't just me. I have had zip energy, and have thought a couple of times "am I going to expire"? I have felt drunk/hungover, unsteady, dizzy and weak... And can't wait to be finished after four more pills. Hopefully it will have cleared my infection. Wash your damn hands, food service people! Can tell I'm getting a yeast infection-insult to injury. Will pass on to my doc that she sh warn her patients. And I will never take again. | F | 48 | 5 days 250 3X day | 11/1/2011 | 3 | Gum infection by wisdom tooth | Dizziness, shortness of breath, panic attacks, depressed & weepy, loss of appetite. | After 3 days of taking metronidazole I experienced dizziness and nothing else and the drugs cleared up the infection. 2 weeks later I was prescribed them again and I feel so much worse. I have severe dizziness, shortness of breath, panic attacks, depression & weepiness and felt like I was dying! I am such an active women, I like my job and have an active life playing football but I’ve done nothing for the past 2 weeks as i just feel too ill & depressed from them! I’m really pleased that they cleared up the infection but the side effects are bad! Hopefully I will never have to take these again! | F | 31 | 5 days 400mg 3X day | 10/25/2011 | 1 | Infection caused by wisdom teeth | I am now on my 3rd day of this medication and I am feeling extremely I'll, dizzy spells, nausea, headaces, and bad sleeping pattern. I would not recommend this. I am always tierd, can bearly get out of bed, not a nice feeling on these tabs :( do not take! | F | 20 | 3 days 3X day | 10/24/2011 | 1 | VB | Extreme head aches, tired, feeling sick, hot and cold flushes, shaking, tipsy feeling, dizzy, bad taste in mouth and brown wee | This medicine was horible for day 1 i was fine come day 2,3 i was feeling all the side affects i listed i has to stop taking the medicine on day 3 and my prescription got changed. i would never suggest any took this medicine if you get offered it ask if there is any other medicine you can take instead, or you will more then likely regret it. so glad im off them now. | F | 20 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 10/21/2011 | 2 | dry socket after tooth extracion | serious loose bowel | would not ever take again | M | 70 | 7 days 200 3X day | 10/16/2011 |
