| 1 | Stomach Virus | nausea, tiredness, loss of appetite, nasty aftertaste in my mouth that won't go away, vomiting possible. | There is not enough hours in the day to take this medicine at intervals. I took it for 2 full days (4 pills). Out of all the medicine we have in the world why do we still have fast dissolving, very bad tasting medicine out there. I tried to take it this morning and couldn't get it down since it dissolves on contact and almost vomited. So I am done with this medicine. I was luckily prescribed diarrhea meds too (if needed). That was the main reason I went to the doctor anyways frequent bathroom visits. I will never take this type medicine again. Gag! | F | 30 | 10 days 500 3X day | 3/24/2011 | 1 | Suspected Giardia | Psychotic episode, nausea, metal taste in mouth, sore throat, extreme thirst, loss of appetite, sore tongue, trouble swallowing, trouble breathing. | I took the 4 tablets in one go. That night I woke several times gasping for breath and couldn't swallow. Thought I was going to die. Had a sense of impending doom. Was very scary. Then all of the 2nd day I was nauseas, extremely thirsty, no appetite, sore throat and a sore tongue. Hope tonight isn't as restless and scary! | F | 35 | 1 days 4 tablets 1X day | 3/22/2011 | 4 | Gum infection | Headache , vomiting ,chills ,extreme nausea , loss of appetite | Day one was fine ,then day 2 came .

Oh and dont attemt to drink with this if you do be perpared to spend the next 5 days in hospital with the most unpleasent side affects you could ever imagine think of your worst nightmare and multi it by 10 | M | 45 | 8 days 200mg 3X day | 3/6/2011 | 3 | tooth and gum infection | Nausea, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, tiredness, hot and cold flushes, slightly itchy, weepy | The first 5 days didn't really help so I've been prescribed another 5. The side effects are getting worse, but because my mouth has been so painful and I feel sick I've been unable to eat when taking them. Had them a couple of times before at 200mg with no side effects. | F | 39 | 10 days 400mg 3X day | 3/5/2011 | 2 | tooth infection and dry socket | Mainly I am incredibly spaced out, dizziness, incredibly tired, extreme emotions, hot flushes to cold shakes, can' concentrate. Occassional stomach pains. | After 1 day of taking it, my teeth improved a bit and after 2 days decided to return to work (I walk). OMG I don't know how I made it there - felt like I was on drugs (well I am of sorts), very dizzy, couldn't focus on the computer screen and highly emotional. Am going to speak to my GP to see what alternatives there are - hate this feeling (but the dry socket pain was worse). | F | 37 | 7 days 200 3X day | 3/3/2011 | 1 | Rosacea | Nausea, dry mouth, whole body shakes, irritability, anxiety, vomitting, loose stool. | Thank God for this site, I thought I was losing my mind. I've never been one to have anxiety issues, but I had a full out panic attack for no reason. Feeling completely crazy right now, going to see Dr to get something to help me through this until the meds are out of my system. I was prescribed this drug in a cream form for my rosacea. Red face is worth having if I never have to go through the anxiety, shakes, and nausea that this drug brought on. Has anyone else here used this drug for rosacea? Or, used it in cream form for something else? The tube says Metronidazole Topical Cream .75%. | F | 26 | 5 days 1X day | 2/28/2011 | 1 | stomach flu | dizziness, shortness of breath, intense headache, severe nausea, fatigue, sudden depression, diarrhea, confusion, "head fog," eye fatigue | I took one pill. Within three hours, I went from feeling fine to being so dizzy I could hardly walk. Within four hours I had a headache so bad I was in tears (I'm no stranger to migraines). Then, the nausea came. I was able to take something for the nausea that knocked me out, but the weird "head fog" remains, and so does the headache. I am fatigued and weak and confused. I will never take this medicine again. Ever. There has to be something better out there. I could have suffered through the stomach flu without this torment. | F | 33 | 1 days 500 mg 1X day | 2/28/2011 | 3 | BV | moody, irritable, bad taste in mouth, loose stools, feel like im going to cry, hazy, up and down moodswings, tired | F | 19 | 7 days 500 3X day | 2/24/2011 | 4 | Possible Giardiassis | First two days no side effects, third day feeling a bit nauseated and generally a bit wierd....Not too bad though if this is as bad as it gets. | Well, I read all the other comments before taking this drug. And even then, out of sheer desperation, it was a welcome event. I have been so sick for 3 weeks (prob giardia) that I actually started improving almost straight away. Too good to be true though, I started feeling rough on the third morning. Unfortunately for me it just reminds me of the past 3 weeks of illness. Still I was so desperate and not getting any better that my alternatives were pretty much starving or dehydrating to death from what is basically dysentry so I'm going to finish the course and just pray pray pray that the side effects don't get any worse. I still feel improved in comparison to the giardia sickness - it is truly hell. This drug is toxic - to you and whatever bacteria you've got. Just hope it's more toxic to the bacteria than to you! | F | 35 | 7 days 400 mg 3X day | 2/23/2011 | 3 | h-pylori | burning in arms and legs and stomach, foul mettallic taste, dry mouth, loss of appetite nausea, anxiety, diarrhoea, loose bowels tiredness and fatigue, furry tongue, racing heart, depression and so on. | Please please, if you can, ask your doctor for an alternative. This medicine is poison, how the drug companies get away with it, i dont know. Was precribed with clarithromycin for treatment of h-pylori and the side effects didnt surface till i finished the doze. I still dont know whether the h-pylori has been eliminated but i should be really ANGRY, if its not. This is the worst medication i have ever taken, the burning in the stomach , arms and legs, was unbearable, and the side effects lasted for over two weeks, so watch out anyone wishing to take this poison | F | 31 | 5 days 400 3X day | 2/23/2011 | 1 | tooth abscess | felt ill, no energy, weak, depressed, anxious, irritable, mood swings, awful taste even after stopped taking it 1 week ago- finished the course but still have furred tongue and horrible taste | awful awful - this is what happens when drugs are tested on animals!!!! BUAV member and proud!!!!!!!! | F | 55 | 5 days 500 3X day | 2/23/2011 | 4 | BV | GROSS taste in mouth, dark, scary urine color. From time to time, faint stomach cramps. | I started taking Metronidazole on thursday, by saturday my infection went away. I found that if you eat right after you take the pill, the bad taste doesnt last. | F | 18 | 5 days 500mg 2X day | 2/20/2011 | 4 | Trichomoniasis | dizziness, nausea, bad taste in mouth, heightened taste buds, dry mouth, fatigue, diarrhea, tingling/shaking in right arm, heartburn, anxiety, insomnia, general feeling of malaise | I took 4 pills (500 mg each) all at once yesterday for a trich infection. I immediately began to feel anxious and dizzy. Sleeping last night was horrible (I tossed and turned due to stomach upset and dry mouth). This morning I felt a little bit better but definitely have mouth/taste symptoms and began feeling sick the rest of the day. I have been sick from this drug the entire weekend but am willing to put up with it to kill the infection. Had no idea it would be this bad though. | F | 25 | 1 days 2000mg 1X day | 2/19/2011 | 4 | BV | Nausea, loose bowels, tired, minor headaches! | After dinner, I took 4 500mg pills at once to get it done and over with and I noticed the strong smell went away by the next day or 2 and the discharge is slowly clearing up more and more each day! Its been 3 nights since I have taken that dose now and I feel better! If your not as stubborn as I am and if you have patience, I would reccommend takin the meds every 12 hours for 7 days other wise you'll be feeling really sick for at least 24 hours! | F | 21 | 3 days 2g 1X day | 2/18/2011 | 3 | C diff | Absolutely HORRID taste in my mouth and I'm always smelling poop. My stomach hurts and I lost my appetite. | F | 48 | 14 days 250 mg 4X day | 2/18/2011 | 1 | After rootcanal.(Infected crown,mol | Nausea, dizziness, chest pain, burning in throat , severe case of anxiety, back hurting , itching, sleeplessness, dark urine, aching all over,severe case of Meniere's disease(which I have). | The most awful medication I have ever taken.

I have GERD, and it is coming back with a vengeance.Etcetera, etcetera!!!!! I only took 3(one last night, and two today). Called the dentist twice(I may have the flu, possible side effects from Hydrocodone without taking food with it. I did take this antibiotic with food. Thank you for this website; it certainly helped me to understand that I was not having a heart attack, and that there were so many others like me. The awful symptoms I mentioned above, keep on happening as I am typing this. Eventhough I know now that all these horrible symptoms are side effects, I still get a feeling of doom. | F | 67 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 2/18/2011 | 1 | BV | Dark urine, abdominal pain, lower pelvic pain, lower back pain, increased urination, extreme confusion, fogginess, no appetite, short-term memory loss, elevated liver labs, suicidal thoughts, moodiness, depression, heart racing, increased anxiety | I will NEVER take this drug again. Two years ago I was hospitalized for a week after taking this drug for 2 weeks for possible diverticulitis. I lost 25 pounds during the 3 week period. A week ago I was put on this med again. I have had horrible side effects, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, confusion, no appetite. I now believe the reason I was hospitalized two years ago was from this med. I am still foggy and out of it, two days after the last pill. I hope it goes away soon. | F | 42 | 7 days 10mg 2X day | 2/18/2011 | 5 | Clostridium difficile-induced colit | None at all. | Had to take METRONIDAZOLE for Clostridium difficile-induced colitis caused by taking Clindamycin for a tooth extraction.
