| 1 | gum infection | sweating, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, difficulty breathing, palpatations, tingly sensation in fingers, paralysing anxiety, fatigue | I took this unaware of what a severe reaction I would get. I ended up in hospital with an abnormal heart beat, severe anxiety symptoms leaving me off work for three weeks not able to do anything. My gum infection went but if I had known this drug does this to so many people I would never have taken it. It should be taken off the shelf. | F | 42 | 5 days 3X day | 9/3/2011 | 4 | amoebic liver abscess | I am taking it now for 7 days and the taste in mouth seems to be getting worse, have a white tongue, had some back, neck and shoulder pain in the first three days that I could feel more when laying in bed (but this went away), have regular bowl movements but they come very sudden, have darker urine, had to sleep a lot the first three days when starting the medication, had once strange headache in the evening | After taking it for a few days now I figured out that I need to get the tablets down as fast as I can with plenty of water and food. The less the tablets touch my tongue the better. I also eat a bit of toasted bread before and after taking the medication that makes the taste more tolerable in my opinion. I am so glad when this is over and that it will help because otherwise I am starting at square one again | F | 41 | 14 days 750 mg 3X day | 9/2/2011 | 1 | Endolimax nana | F | 28 | 500mg 1X day | 8/31/2011 Patient History | 5 | More tired than usual (although this could be put down to other factors), headache that lasted all night on night 3, bit of dry mouth and by about day 4/5 started to notice an unpleasant taste which I managed to mask with coffee and food!! | Overall I had no unpleasant side effects. I made sure I took the tablet (one twice a day) after food and with a full glass of milk to get rid of the taste. I also took at the same time each day. I must say I was rather wary of this drug after reading everything on line but I took my last tablet yesterday and have been fine. I also have not touched a drop of alcohol, even though I had some exam results and a bank holiday during the course!! Not sure if BV has cleared as no obvious symptoms.but I will def be looking for any minor changes now!!! All I can say is if u have really unpleasant side effects, see your GP. As I say, I was ok so perhaps its different in different people. | F | 28 | 7 days 400mg 2X day | 8/30/2011 | 3 | pelvic swelling | feeling sick hallucinations thought someone was breaking in house and was seeing lights very very sleepy all time indigestion neck aches | got rid of pains in stomach so far however side effects not good from tablets luckily im on school hols anyhow otherwise would have been very tricky with work general feeling very low and constantly tired and cant be bothered been no ooomph in me knocks it out of you go bk next week to docs so well see x | F | 31 | 14 days 400mg 2X day | 8/30/2011 | 4 | BV | Its horrible, I've 4days left and I don't know if I can take it anymore. Makes me feel so sick and weak. I threw up this morning which made me feeling abit better,but now I've a massive headache at work.... On my hoilday tomorrow with my boyfriend... worst feeling ever! | F | 19 | 7 days 3X day | 8/29/2011 | 2 | BV | Nausea and chills | I was very excited to get prescribed metronidazole because I want to get rid of this BV. My nurse warned me that if I drank alcohol I would puke my brains out and go absolutely crazy, so of course I've been avoiding it like it's the devil. I took my first dose and felt fine but I took my second about 2 hours ago and now instead of sleeping I am sitting up, freezing, and feeling very, very sick to my stomach. I'm not sure if I can do another six days of this but I really want this infection to go away. I feel a little bit of relief knowing that I'm not the only person experiencing negative side effects. Hang in there, guys! We can conquer this awful drug :( | F | 21 | 1 days 2X day | 8/24/2011 | 4 | Bacterial vaginosis | panic attacks... which are awful, slight dizzy sight, diarrhea, paranoia, and i was paranoid that i was dying at some points, and ive still got 2 days left, apart from the panic attacks which lead me to think im dying there ok because they've nearly cleared up all of the discharge, and the smell has tottally gone | next time if there is a next time i'll hopefully try the gel .. panic attacks are too much for me, as im only 15 , so i ghave this drug a 4 and would of gave it a 5 but theres still a tiny bit of discharge and the symptoms from the drug too | F | 15 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 8/15/2011 | 1 | E. Hystolitica | This med is terrible... complete desturction to the body. Very unusual effects like disoriented, shortness of breath, not able to stand for more than 2 minutes. This is garbage and not medication! | DO Not try it at all. | M | 47 | 5 days 500 2X day | 8/15/2011 | 3 | BV | SEVERE stomach cramps/ache. Gas and bloating. Dark urine and stool. Frequent bowel movements.. | I thought I had developed PID from the BV because of the PID like symptoms this medicine gave me, but after reading comments from others experiences, I am now %100 sure that the culprit is this medicine.started taking it on a monday bhegan having SEVERE stomach ache the very next day. 2 days later went to the ER because I thought I was bleeding inside because of the dark stool and abdominal pain. So happy to see I'm not alone NEVER AGAIN..gave it a 3/5 because it definately cleared up the BV but the SE are horrid | F | 21 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/14/2011 | 1 | tooth abcess | Took 6 tablets in June 2008 and collapsed, Dr adised stop taking them but had dizziness, ataxia, hypoglycemia, felt completely exhausted, panic attacks before getting up in morning, still have some of these symptoms some 3 years later Crescent Pharma Ltd who manufacture this drug could not supply s cure and My Dr unable to help either after trying diets etc, my liver , kidneys blood, heart are OK so this drug does damage to the brain, why is it on the market its too dangerous. | If you are having side effects contact by email [email protected] and tell this company of the problems you are having then perhaps something will be done to improve this antibiotic, don't foreget to take acidophilus to put the good bugs back into your body. | F | 70 | 2 days 200 mg 3X day | 8/11/2011 | 3 | Acne Rosacea | mild head ache, indigestion (like food is sitting in my stomach) Urinary tract infection symptoms, sluggish feeling | I think I need to drink more water while taking this medication -- it seems to dry me out and I think that may be linked to my UTI symptoms-- Drinking lots of water and taking a B-vitamin have helped with the sluggish feelings -- Also, eating light -- lots of veggies and fiber. | F | 27 | 4 days 500 2X day | 8/3/2011 | 2 | Dental Abcess | Sweating Drowsiness disorientated Numbness on fingers | I am taking this drug in conjunction with Amoxicillan for a dental abcess for the first three days I was totally out of it and slept. Got up for one day and attempted work but felt tipsy and sick. Next day I could not wake up - I was aware I needed to get up but somehow I was not with it and could not wake up therefore could not go to work. I am not sure dentists should prescribe this drug as they do not have your GP knowledge of your own history I have concerns this week that perhaps I should not have been given this drug. My breathing has been very uncomfortable and have heart palpitations when laying down at night. Very scary feeling but do not like to be a nuisance and ring my GP to check. | F | 53 | 7 days 400MG 3X day | 8/2/2011 | 1 | H PYLORI | Intense sotmach pains (worse than the ones I was having from the infection), massive headaches( which felt like someone was behind my eye balls trying to push them out) diziness, can not eat, depression (crying all the time), anxiety.... | ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE FOR H PYLORI IS A MEDICATION I AM ALLERGIC TO SO I AM STUCK WITH THIS! I COULD HANDLE THE STOMACH PAINS, AND HEADACHES, BUT THE DEPRESSION IS THE WORST. ITS TAKEN OVER ME AND IM ALWAYS WORRYING ABOUT IF IT WILL GO AWAY ONCE IM NOT TAKING THIS MEDICATION ANYMORE! IF SOMEONE HAS EXPERIENCED DEPRESSION FORM THIS DRUG PLEASE WRITE ANOTHER COMMENT ON HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GO AWAY! :( | F | 25 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/2/2011 | 1 | CDiff infection | from day 1 CONSTANT dull nagging headache, hard to concentrate, groggy. stiff neck. sporadic fevers in the first few days. lethargic, painful abdominal cramping and bloating. by day 7 had still not relieved diarrhea caused by CDiff. switching meds ASAP. no nausea or vomiting. | F | 29 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 8/2/2011 | 1 | h pylori | Throbbing headaches, stomach pains (different from the pain I was getting from the h pylori) diarrhea, depression/anxiety, dizziness, extreme fatigue. Just NOT myself while taking this medicine, and im only on day 4 :( I don't know if I can handle this for 6 more days | This medication is horrible :( it bettttter kill the h pylori cuz if not and I went thru all this for nothing I will be one extremely pissed off chick! | F | 25 | 10 days 2X day | 8/1/2011 | 2 | Bacterial Vaginosis | had severe headache on day 1, also metallic taste in mouth, nightmares, dizziness, burning eyes, lethargy, upset stomach, very dry mouth, dark urine, sore throat | This medicine tastes HORRIBLE! Have a drink and something to eat when taking this med so you can get the AWFUL taste out of your mouth. The taste is so bad that I had a hard time trying not to vomit. I've never have side effects on medication, and was not expecting to on this one. This is the only medication that has given me unpleasant side effects. I'm only on day 4 out of 7 and so far the side effects are bearable, but just slightly annoying. I just hope they don't get worse. But honestly if I ever get BV again I will definitely choose another option. And reading everyone's negative experiences with this med, makes me wonder why they even allow this med on the market. | F | 20 | 7 days 1X day | 7/29/2011 | 5 | Bv | Took the medicine in the afternoon. Felt fine all day. Woke up in the middle of the night with the worst headache I've ever had. I wanted to rip my hair out. I was sweating and threw up all night until the next morning. Worst night ever! About 4 days after I got a yeast infection. | although the dude effects sucked it did make my bv go away right away. | F | 20 | 1 days 2000 1X day | 7/27/2011 | 1 | VB | During the day the feeling was like I was 'drugged' or hungover with very dry feeling inside eyes, as well as inside belly -- as if all fluids in me had dried up (32 weeks pregnant at the time of prescription). Towards evening I would get depressed, when I fell asleep I had weird sensations in my head, as if my brain was outside of my skull -- a nervous system issue I'm assuming. I was supposed to take 2 x 500 mg for 5 days, but I stopped after 2 days (4 tablets in total) - I sweated a lot the night I stopped the meds, but slept well compared to the previous night. I took half a dose the next day because I felt that it did help with the discharge and was worried about the whole preterm labour issue in regards to VB and pregnancy. However, even the lower dose made me feel paranoid / depressed again, so I drank a load of water, followed by cranberry juice followed by a cup of warm water with lemon, which helped with the dry-mouth. I decided to stop them altogether now. | Basically it felt like every thing was dried up - which was good for the quite watery discharge I had, but didn't feel too good when it came to my eyes and head. Why is this drug prescribed during pregnancy ? With so many weird side-effects, it shouldn't even be on the market anymore. It was disgusting and made me worry about my baby's and my own safety/health. The taste and feeling in my head reminded me of an experience with 'e' years ago, but not in a good way. Something just wasn't right. | F | 32 | 3 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/12/2011 | 3 | Dental Abcess | Stomach cramps, discoloured urine, palpitations and hot flushes. | It is always better not to drink when taking Antibiotics so I avoided, but had a drink 24 hours after my last dose and was absolutely fine. | M | 48 | 3 days 400 3X day | 7/11/2011 |
