 2  Bacterial Vaginosis Nausea, Diarrhea, Upset Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Lightheaded feeling (like being nauseas on a tilt whirl or something. Triggered heartburn/reflux symptoms as well. I'm so happy I found this. I thought I was being paranoid or going nuts. For the record, I haven't been drinking, always eat before taking it, and drink lots of water, and I'm STILL having these symptoms. They started around the fourth day. I eat really healthy so I never have issues with my reflux but dear Lord this medicine flared it up with a vengeance. The very thought of food makes me sick. Tomorrow is my last two doses and then good riddance! Evil medicine. F 20 7 days

 4  diverticulitus Extreme anxiety, depression, self deprecation, insomnia, metal taste, racing heart,exhaustion I have taken METRONIDAZOLE a couple of times in the past. This time, the first dose did not clear up my diverticulitus so I was prescribed a second round or METRONIDAZOLE and Cipro. During the second dose I have had extreme anxiety, depression, weight loss, insomnia and all around mental anguish and other physical side effects like loss of appetite and constant metal taste. I can take the physical side effects but the mental side effects are very difficult. In the future I will ask for an alternate drug to treat my recurring diverticulitus. This website is hugely helpful, I thought I was going crazy. M 51 30 days

 1  BV Metallic taste, Sore throat, Upset stomach and a couple times vomitting, Emotional, Sleepy..but unable to rest well, and shaky. This is my second time using this medicine because the first time I was prescribed a week and it didnt take the infection away. This time I am on it for two weeks and I am dying a slow, painful death. I have a cold too and took some cough syrup and it made me throw up so dont take cold medicine! If there is any way to use a different medication I would like to know because I will NEVER use this again. F 23 14 days

 3  BV Dizziness, feelings of vertigo, nausea, excessive tiredness, moodiness Thank God for this site. I honestly thought it was just me. This is by far the worse medication I've ever taken. Although it seems to be working, the side effects are HORRIBLE. The main thing for me is the constant tiredness and nausea. I started Birth Control the same time I started the metronidazole, so I wasn't sure which one was the cause. Now, I'm completely sure it's the metronidazole. Today is my last day on the medication. Hopefully the tiredness goes away, and I can get back to normal life. F 25 6 days

 4  h.pylori infection None until mid-way through the week's treatment, until my urine became a dark red colour (which is normal for this drug). Strange bubbly metallic taste, but every anti-biotic I ever took I could taste in my mouth (Even IV ABs. I had some slightly odd dreams and tiredness, but this is normal I think when fighting off parasites. On day 6 slight vaginal itching leading to vaginal thrush on the final day of taking pills-again, quite common. Took 3 x 400 mg of this with 3 x 500 mg of amoxycillin and 40 mg of Omeprazole. This triple therapy of drugs has made me feel well. It has limited my acid reflux, took away my pain and acid aspiration. The only thumbs down goes to the thrush it gave, but to be fair, it could have been any of the meds that gave it to me or the particular combo. I understand that anti-biotics commonly cause thrush, so no worries. Let's hope it cured my h.pylori! F 29 7 days

 4  Bacterial infection loss of concentration, with in a hour of taking the tablets i could barley hold a converstion. Was so groggy, was almost like i was very very drunk. 3 days later is till feel like ive been hit by a bus, have no energy to do any thing. Also very dizzy and light headed, ive felt like fainting in the shower on 3 occasions now. This drug is not nice to take and the side effects are quite scary. I was not prepared for this. the infection seems to be clearing, i just hope all the side effects are woth it.. F 27 1 days

 1  tooth abscess I experienced nausea, dry furry tongue, vaginal thrush, oral thrush, headaches, depression, suicidal thoughts, blurred vision, diarrhoea, lack of appetite, constant crying, tiredness, aching limbs and no energy. At the end of the treatment I was covered on my neck, chest, back and face in extremely red itchy hives and tiny white spots. This medication leaflet does identify possible side effects but it should state that it will all happen to you if you dare to take it. The problem is that when you have a painful infection you will do anything to stop the pain and the side effects seem insignificant before hand. If you can, persuade your doctor to prescribe something else that is sensitive to help your infection as in the long run you will feel worse. F 39 7 days

 5  Vaginitis Constant headaches, white tongue, metallic taste, loss of appetite, diarrhea - overall not feeling well It has been difficult taking this medicine twice a day for 14 days. The metallic taste is the worst part of it along with the white tongue. I find myself constantly brushing my teeth and chewing gum. Doing these things is only a temporary solution.It is taking care of the problem I had; however, the side effects are difficult to deal with for a long period of time. I will inquire about alternative treatment in the future. F 46 13 days

 3  C Difficile / Colitis See COMMENTS! I'm hoping this will help some of you ;-) You could mow my tongue right now. It’s a furry garden world, with many new areas to explore. New life never before identified has found sanctuary in my mouth. Small spaceships leaving the docking area on a regular basis brush the inside of my mouth, causing a metallic taste. On a daily basis, my head is being put in that thing that returns your bowling ball really quickly, and I think I’m walking faster than everyone, like I’m on that “I-can-get-there-quicker-than-you” conveyor belt between airport terminals. My goldfish can concentrate for longer. And he’s dead. Only 2 days to go…………as Winston Churchill once said, "Keep calm, and carry on!" M 32 14 days

 5  Post-surgery on perianal abscess Loose bowels; foul taste in mouth; enhanced/altered sense of smell Only antibiotic to control the infection (amoxycillin, flucloxicillin failed). So full marks for that. But my sense of smell seems greatly enhanced. Suddenly realised all my sweaters needed washing; cheddar cheese smelt of truffles, magazines smelt of hot electrical equipment. Was a little bit emotional/depressed, but that might have been just post-surgical. F 56 21 days

 1  BV Took 5 pills @ once b4 bed as the nurse told me that i might have a tummy ache. As expected i felt nauseous 20mins after taking.The days following that were unbearable. Depression, anxiety,confusion,fatigue,mood swings, lack of concentration. I cried for 2days for no reason. Just felt very unsettled. I did not take any alcohol. i dont even drink. Thought i was going crazy until i read this website on day 4. Thanks guys! The info that comes with these meds don't say much about the side effects. I would have dealt with the emotional/mental confusion a lot better if i knew that these pills the cause. Also it wasn't effective at curing BV. Will never take it again!! Gonna try probiotics.

 4  diverticulitis (fifth occurrence) strong metallic taste during treatment; marked pain in area of kidneys during last few days of most recent treatment; upset stomach; slight dizziness; high level of fatigue; depression and fragile feelings; insomnia; blurred vision. Doctors prescribed Metronidazole (with Ciprofloxacin) for me on five occasions to treat diverticulitis. The drugs worked to zap the infection, but their side effects during the most recent flareup prompted me to contact a surgeon. Enough already!!!! F 66 10 days

 3  Skin issue, boil type growth Stiff neck, awful taste in my mouth (not really dry so much since I drink tons of water), tired (totally NOT like me).I'm taking it in combination with Doxycycline and this is day 6 with 8 more to go. I am going to stop this in 5 more days though because I am having a birthday party and I might want to have a drink. The combination seems to be working. The growth is much smaller but I was a little concerned about the stiff neck so I started looking at some side effects. It is on the leaflet I got but I was curious what others had to say. I also got my first flu shot this week and I was thinking the body/neck ache could be from that but it doesn't sound like it. I hate being this lethargic but if it works, I'll be happy. F 49 6 days

 1  h pylori Headache,nausea,tight feeling throat,no appetite, diarreha,fatigue,tender stomach,vomiting. After reading the comments from others at least I feel that I am not the only one who is experiencing the yukky not feeling good symptoms. THIS IS MY SECOND treatment for H-pylori. If this doesn't destroy them then nothing will. HATE THE TASTE.Hope I get through the full treatment of ten days. Gave it a low rating due to symptoms will review if it works. F 54 4 days

 2  Gum / tooth abscess I am on day 4 of a 7 day course. Bad belly on and off, nothing life changing. The worse bit for me is the feeling of lack of concentration. Feel so out of it, drowsy etc... struggling to hold a conversation. It has reduced my abscess a tiny bit but nothing significant so after all this I will still have to have the tooth pulled. Feel like I am on another planet. Roll on three days when I can start to get this out of my system. F 34 7 days
