| 3 | VI | Nausea, rapid heart beat, some anxiety, horrible taste. | You HAVE to read the instructions while taking this medication. Make SURE to eat some food before or right after taking this pill. The pills taste like S...I cannot swallow pills so I bought a pill cutter and cut my pills in half. I put a tiny bit of water on them to soften them up, put some apple juice in my mouth, put the pills in my mouth, and washed it down. I made sure to have something strong tasting by my side to get ride of the horrible taste. Other than that, it worked for me, and I had no horrible side-effects. Please read the INSTRUCTIONS. NO ALCOHOL! | F | 25 | 10 days ? 2X day | 10/14/2011 | 1 | H.Pylori Infection | seizure like symptoms; extreme fatigue; muscle weakness; numbness in left arm and fingers; difficulty breathing; increased urination; extreme thirst | Doctors should tell you about the NOTED ADVERSE REACTIONS listed on the manufacturers website before prescribing this drug to ANYONE - It specifically indicates that convulsions and/or seizures have been recorded in patients while taking this medication. | F | 30 | 8 days 250 mg 4X day | 10/14/2011 | 3 | Bacterial vaginosis | anxiety. Nightmares, insomnia, lightheadedness, extreme fatigue, horrible metallic taste, loss of appetite and weight | By day 3 I phoned dr. to ask could I stop taking as side effects were so bad but she wanted me to finish out course.. Cleared infection but still have side effects, especially lightheadedness and fatigue 48 hours after completing course. 4 or 5 really bad nights of not sleeping much, nightmares and anxiety.. | F | 52 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 10/9/2011 | 4 | Pericoronitis | Nausea, migraine, bad taste in mouth | These pills taste absolutely disgusting. Even swallowed as quickly as possible, the taste is very strong and very difficult to remove! Similar to the acid taste you get after vomiting - yuck! I always had a pack on mints and huge glass of water handy when taking this. I felt some nausea, and had a huge migraine on day 2, but I suffer from migraines anyway so not sure if it is the metronidazole or not... However, this stuff worked WONDERS for my gum infection, cleared it up in no time! | F | 24 | 4 days 200 MG 3X day | 10/7/2011 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Dizziness and Light Headed-ness. Darkened Urine. Heart Palpitations. Drowsiness. Darkened Vaginal Discharge. Upset Menstrual Cycle (Period Came Early) | Terrible tablets to swallow that leave a disgusting taste in your mouth, which cannot be removed easily. I didn't expect the anti-biotics to have such severe side effects. I still do not know if they have worked properly. CANNOT drink alcohol on them - this caused quite a bit of inconvenience due to the timing I had to take them. Be sure to use ALTERNATIVE CONTRACEPTION, because like most anti-biotics, it negates the effect of oral contraception. I would be hesitant to take another course, I'd prefer to seek out other options. | F | 20 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 10/6/2011 | 3 | BV | dizziness, diaherra, headache, stomach ache, nauseated | The first few days on this I felt fine but the last few days have been horrible! very tired and a extreme headache! I also had diaherra and today I am so dizzy and nauseated I cannot get my work done! I want to be done with these meds soon! | F | 30 | 7 days 2X day | 10/4/2011 | 1 | BV | Nausea!!!! If I didn't just have a pregnancy test I would think I was pregnancy that's how bad it is. Also very bad taste in my mouth. | I will NOT continue this med!!! I'll take the risk to the infection coming back to feeling like crap. I actually begged my husband to kill me last night because I feel so much worse on the medicine then not. | F | 30 | 2 days 500 3X day | 10/4/2011 | 4 | Tric | Tired when I moved I felt crazy urine brown unless I drink water.legs felt weak.eyes were red I felt like I wanted to die I lost weight because I couldnt eat.. | May clear up infection but ull have hell on da way.. | F | 21 | 7 days 500 2X day | 10/3/2011 | 4 | Vaginal Bacteriosis | Headache, neck ache, super tired, sore muscles, bloating, vivid dreams. | I'm on my 3rd day, and I am sooo tired. I haven't thrown up from it, but I can see how other people would. I just want to sleep all day. My head hurts and I feel a little out of it. I don't know why anybody would want to drink while they're on this medication, that's just lame. It clearly states not to drink. | F | 21 | 8 days 500mg 2X day | 10/1/2011 | 4 | BV | Severe dry mouth, fatigue, stiff neck muscles, vivid dreams, and a yeast infection....and disulfarim reaction. | I have taken this before, but never noted the vivid dreams...I don't typically remember my dreams, but for the last few nights they have been so "real" feeling that I have woken up either crying or feeling quite disgruntled. Attributed the fatigue and sore muscles to exercise, but I see from here that is common too. I think that the drug is safe and has been on the market for years; it is the most effective for anaerobic infections. I suggest if you can't deal with the oral side effects and have the choice of the gel insert go for that. Also, no joke with the reaction to alcohol...I've drank before with this drug and was fine, but this time the quantity: four beers seemed to do the trick and led to nasty nausea and vomiting the next morning. Only one dose left! | F | 31 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/29/2011 | 1 | vaginal infection | i ve had all the side effects mentioned on this page. i have an overactive thryroid that gives me extreme problems with my eyes. and after taking this medicine the other night it was worse. eyes burned. slash them with water so much burning. almost passed out in my kitchen then almost threw up right afterwards | F | 20 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/24/2011 | 3 | Infected fistula crohns colitis | Tingling feet which is nerve damage, extream tiredness, dizzy,feel sick,just horrible. | Having to take this for such a long time because NHS are too busy and have made me wait for surgery to sort out the infections!!!. | M | 48 | 3 months 400 3X day | 9/21/2011 | 1 | tooth infecttion | this is the worse medicine that i have ever had. it made me very angry,i could see veins from the swelling, my head feels so heavy and big, dizzy, i hear different words (instead of maths i heard reading and writing) when i asked my son what he did at school, was watching tv polititions talking but in my head i could not figure out what they talking about and at times i was hearing like children talk i cant remember, even after i stoped taking the tablets i still feel the same, in fact now that i stopped if i feel depressed. the medicine is rubish | F | 28 | 3 days 200mg 3X day | 9/21/2011 | 1 | Tooth infection | Took first tablets last night dentist prescribed this and Another antibiotic, took this Norns and next thing I knew I was bleeding from my rectum, painful tummy cramps etc | Not taking any more!!!! Omg | F | 31 | 5 days 3X day | 9/21/2011 | 3 | Perianal abcess | Feeling AWFUL. Just vomited after taking one bite of an apple. I've barely eaten for three days, yet I have diarrhea. Metal taste in mouth. Can't sleep. General malaise. | M | 29 | 10 days 500 3X day | 9/20/2011 | 1 | Really drowzy and constant vomiting. I hate this medicine. It is making me miserable. I cannot sleep because I have been puking my brains out... I also have soreness in the upper-neck. | HATE IT | F | 17 | 7 days 500MG 3X day | 9/19/2011 | 2 | Infection | Vomiting, nausea, sleepy, stomach pains, bad taste in mouth, orange urine, headache, neck pain. | This drug is horrible. I gave it a 2 cause I'm sure it's clearing up my infection because it is so strong. I cant stand how it makes me feel like I'm in another world and makes me sleep all the time and I can't wake up from sleeping. It kills my stomach. I can't eat. I can't go out. Missed a college class because I was vomiting and had a fever. 2 hours after taking the first dose I vomited. And then two days later I got sick again. I have a constant headache. My neck hurts and is stiff. I'm cranky and always nauseas. I just want to be done with these meds. | F | 20 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/17/2011 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Dry mouth, nausea, abdominal pain and severely stiff muscles neck and head. It feels like I always have a headache but its the back and top of my head that hurts. I have only been on this medication for 3 days I feel like by the time I finish I will be dead. | I was prescribed this medication from a DR in an ER and after the first dose when all my muscles got so stiff that I couldn't even move I ended up back in the ER only to have the same DR tell me I was probably in the beginning stages of a cold. Shouldn't DR read up on the medication they prescribed and some of the side effects? If it weren't for me googling my symptoms I would have never known it was the medication, I didn't understand why after taking antibiotics I am feeling way worse! I can't believe this is what I have to deal with. | F | 29 | 2 weeks 500 MG 2X day | 9/17/2011 | 1 | Bv | Extremely tired, shaky, nausea, depressed, headache, anxiety, muscle aches Didn't have symptoms of bv, so I don't know if the infection is clearing up or not,but this medicine makes me feel HORRIBLE! | i only have 3 more days of this medicine and I CAN'T WAIT! I will NEVER take this medicine again! I will defiantly use homeopathic treatments if needed from now on.......THIS DRUG IS EVIL!!!! | F | 37 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 9/16/2011 | 5 | H Pylori | None whatsoever | After suffering chest pain on and off for 22 years, was diagnosed with h pylori. One week on this medication and the pain has not returned in 14 years. (My husband was prescribed it for diverticulitis, he was very nauseous, almost stopped taking it, but after my result he knew it was worth it. He hasn't had a recurrence in 12 years). | F | 48 | 7 days 2X day | 9/7/2011 |
