| 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | The most horrible drug I have ever taken in my whole life. Day 1- extremely tired, nauseous, difficulty concentrating. Day 2- black stool, frequent bowel movements, along with day 1 symptoms, and after that they just kept getting worse. Body aches, stress, uncontrollable emotions and anxiety, severe depression for no reason at all. Unable to concentrate, not able to think straight. Delusional, paranoid, headaches, stress, unable to sleep, wake up in a sudden panic (and I am a deep, heavy sleeper). I would never ever recommend anyone take this for any reason. I wish I would've found this site before I took the meds, I would've never done it- nor were there any warning signs from my prescription label. I thought I was going to be declared clinically insane. It was bad....really bad. The worst part was that I could not control it. 3 days after stopping I feel completely normal. I'm more relieved that I can even explain that it's over. | F | 28 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 12/9/2010 | 3 | Infection in Ovary Tube & Ovary | I developed an infection after having a womb biopsy with severe pains to the left in Ovary & Ovary tube. I have been taking this tablet along with Doxycycline tablets (2 x pr day), although the course of the Doxycycline tablets finished yesterday. The side affect of this tablet is that it has given me the most severe Headaches, which are there in the morning & build up over the day. By the afternoon I am taking Tramadol to cope with the pain in my head, as normal pain killers are just not touching this pain...I can't stand cooking smells (Bacon especially) as this makes me feel sick, and nausea. Two days ago the pain in my head was so bad that I was unable to get dressed until 1pm in the afternoon and spent the day feeling lethargic, which I have felt for most of the week, also sweaty. The tablets have helped with the awful pelvic pains though - and I am hoping have helped cure them. I have two tablets left, and I have made the decision not to take them, as I cant cope wi | I was astounded at how many people taking this tablet have had same or similar side affects, and that it seems to affect some people more severely than others. | F | 50 | 6 days 400mg 3X day | 12/6/2010 | 3 | Trich (protozoal parasite) | Rx 4 pills (400mg each) as all in one shot. Ate a meal, took the pills, that was that... Later that night (duh-duh-dunnn). EXTREME Nausea. Dry heaved and whimpered for about 45 minutes until fell asleep. Next morning EXTREME lethargy. I stayed home from work and slept all day long. Got up, no appetite. Was too exhausted to even watch Law & Order. Really "muddle-brained"... Fell asleep. Third day after taking rx headache & can barely think.. called off work and had another restless, anxious night's sleep where I was sobbing into my pillow about who knows what. Day 4. Migrain passed but still exhausted! Plus, had severe cotton-mouth! Day 5. Burning sore throat. WTF! Why would symptoms get WORSE the further away from the ingestion date?? Day 6. Flu Like-sympoms.. I just want it to end... when will it end! I left a message for a nurse to call me back... Day 7. Today... Dry cough. No mucus. Just coughing. And ate a ton of lemons so I can swallow now but throat and mouth | I suppose since it's a 'poison' to kill the bacteria it's natural to assume it would be poisonous to US in some way.. but they need to put that on the label. Not as "possible" side-effects, but as DEFINITE side-effects. I'd have scheduled some 'recovery' time from work instead of being caught off guard like that. | F | 31 | 1 days 1600mg 4X AN | 12/5/2010 | 1 | bv | nausea, lightheaded, vomitting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, metallic taste, headache, mood swings and tingling in hands. Couldn't lift my head off pillow on day 2 except to run to bathroom to throw up. I have no idea if I am well or not that is why I rated a 1. Just hoping tomorrow the headache goes away. I did call the doctor by day 4 to give me nausea medicine which did help. Jerk bosses don't believe that this drug is for bv. They are idiots. I hope they never have to take this. Worst medicine ever. I felt like I had chemo and I'm now down to 100 pounds. I use to weight 115. I feel bad for any of you who have to take this. God bless you all say your prayers God will heal and comfort you. I must have said it 1,000 times since starting this medicine. | Read side effects it will help you know you haven't lost your mind. | F | 50 | 7 days 500 mg 3X day | 12/5/2010 | 1 | bv | every side effect that is possible - headache, furry tongue, nausea, sore throat, feel like im not in my own body, mood swings, up & downs the list goes on | Only on day 4 day 7 cannot come soon enough it better get rid of the infection otherwise it seriously isn't worth taking this medication. The helpsheet should say THESE ARE the side effects not possible side effects never had a medication with worse side effects as this and won't ever be taking it again! | F | 21 | 7 days 400MG 3X day | 12/3/2010 | 4 | Tooth Extraction-prevent Infection | Tiredness, mild diziness. Mouth tasted like the floor of a taxi. | Seems to have kept infection at bay. Was a particularly large socket left after tooth extraction. Quite snoozy once taken, slept very well! | M | 37 | 5 days 200 3X day | 11/28/2010 | 5 | Gum infection | None. | This seemed to work wonders. I had an infection around my wisdom tooth and could hardly open my mouth to fit a spoon between my teeth to eat cereal. My face was swollen and I couldn't talk properly. After a few days it got better and by the end of the course I was back to normal. Then the tooth was extracted. It seemed to work for me and others I know that have been on it. | M | 26 | 7 days 500 3X day | 11/26/2010 | 2 | Gum Infection (Pericoronitis) | Nausea, diarrhea, horrible taste in mouth, tiredness, dizziness, loss of appetite, chills. | Worst experience I've had with any medication! I felt constantly nauseous, especially in the evenings, and had diarrhea throughtout the day.. I had to wrap myself in several layers before I was warm enough to get to sleep and the shivering made my stomach feel worse. The horrible taste in my mouth lasted the course of the medication and also alleviated the nausea. | F | 21 | 4 days 400 3X day | 11/26/2010 | 2 | Diverticulitis | Severe cramps,kidney pain,light head,metalic mouth,no appetite,dark stools&urine,aching back,legs&hands,&constant thirst,sore gullet,wind... | Ive had this drug before on numerous occasions for the same problem-but with little or no side effects,I dont know if the inrediants have been changed-but there is a war going on in my stomach | M | 58 | 10 days 400MG 3X day | 11/25/2010 | 2 | BV | Nausea, bad headache, fatigue and imaginary bad smells that no one else can smell. | So glad I am not the only one with all these foul side effects though I seem to be the first one to have the nasty smell haunting me, which is not helping my nausea one bit! Hope these work coz got another 4 days to go yet. | F | 45 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 11/25/2010 | 5 | Gum infection | None. | Took with Amoxicillan 500mg 3 x day for the infection and cocodamol 30mg for back pain without side effect but when mixed with diclofenic 75 (anti-inflamatory) and cocodamol 30/500 did feel nausea for 30 minutes. Dropped the diclofenic and was fine. | M | 51 | 6 days 400 3X day | 11/23/2010 | 3 | Gum Infection | Metalic taste, shivers & Numbness | Shivers that are incredible painful and feel like a load of needles being stuck in spine, arms, chest, back of head which comes in waves. Numbness of face, swollen red eyes and sleep disturbance. Now getting a sore throat. Last tablet to be taken tomorrow thank god its only a 3 day course.. | M | 17 | 3 days 200mg 3X day | 11/21/2010 | 3 | Infection wisdom tooth extraction | Sickness, dizzy, body aches, bad mood swings, headache, worst antibiotic side effects ever had | They did seem to help with infection but had to visit gp on day 4 out of 5 cause so ill. Gp told me to stop taking them. Felt better within 24 hours | F | 35 | 5 days 400mg 3X day | 11/19/2010 | 1 | can't sleep, depression, can't concentrate | what a horrible drug to have to take, let's hope it works. | M | 31 | 14 days 400 mg 2X day | 11/15/2010 | 3 | BV | tiredness, nausea after taking pill for about an hour, anxiety, depression | So the first couple days I just felt crappy for an hour after each pill, then normal. I'm super tired all the time now and go to bed at about 9:30...when its usually 11:30. I know for a fact I'm not PMSing but I am super agitated and hit a few moments of severe depression...I usually only get like that if I've had to many beers but since I can't drink...hmmm. I'm generally just feeling angry and tired while on this antibiotic | F | 24 | 7 days 2X day | 11/14/2010 | 2 | BV | Depression, aches, groggy, no energy, dark urine, black stools, feeling hopeless, crying, vivid nightmares, stomach pains | For the first 4 days I didn't really notice any major effects. Then I started feeling really depressed, no appetite, dark stools and urine, aches and pains. I thought something was wrong with me and I had no idea that these symptoms were linked to the medication until I read about other peoples experiences. I am very ready to be done taking these pills and I will not take them in the future. I had no symptoms taking the gel last month; however, my infection did not go away. | F | 23 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 11/14/2010 | 4 | BV/Vaginal Infection | I've taken these antibiotics several times for reoccuring BV/Vaginal infections and they've been horrible each time. I have to mentally prep myself before I start treatment. I get severe nausea especially after eating meals. Horrible headaches, achy muscles, especially my jaw and I just feel run down almost like I am coming down with the flu. I've taken the gel form before and the side effects are considerably less, but I had a reoccuring infection within weeks. The pill version works better but with worse side effects. Also the first time I took the pill, I didn't read the warning and had a shot of Jaegar and spent the rest of the day throwing up-I felt like I was dying. DO NOT DRINK on these meds! | F | 27 | 7 days 500 MG x2 2X day | 11/13/2010 | 3 | BV | exhaustion,upset stomach, depression, crying, groggy,headaches | It cured the the infection so that is good as I was recovering from LEEPS and infection could turn more serious in that case. I have had the mental symptoms more than physical - out of nowhere feeling really depressed, weepy, and very disturbed - I can't wait until it is out of my system. I was way too exhausted to go out tonight on top of feeling depressed and like I have the flu. I am using natural remedies from now on | F | 32 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 11/13/2010 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis (bv) | Vomiting, Nausea, Migraine Headache, Extreme Fatigue, Metallic Taste, Irritability, Dark Urine and Blurred Vision | I needed to take 2000mg of flagyl to treat my BV in the form of 5 400mg pills in one day. Within a few hours I began to experience severe nausea and a migraine that would not go away. I was so tired and weak, barely able to do anything but sleep. I felt horrible for the next few days and could not keep any food down. This drug is best in small doses over a period of time although, I will seek alternative methods to treat any re-occurrence of BV. | F | 24 | 1 days 400mg 6X day | 11/10/2010 | 5 | BV | Was more tired than usual but apart from that none at all | After I read most of the comments on this site, I was soooo nervous about taking this anti-biotic but I was absolutely fine. Was more tired than usual but slept really well. I drank loads of water when I took the tablet and continued to drink water throughout the day. Plus it says a lot about no alcahol too so I never used mouthwash after I brushed my teeth as that contains alcahol as does other products like body lotion so I stayed clear of usuing them for the 7 days. So the best advice would be to drink loads of water and hopefully you'l be fine :)) | F | 40 | 7 days 400mg 2X day | 11/9/2010 |
