| 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 | 3 | BV | Dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, itchy skin, bloated stomach - all mild though. | I think that the trick with this medicine is to eat a lot of food with it (there goes my diet) and also to eat a lot of probiotics to replenish the body stock of good bacteria. So I've been eating a lot of natural yogurts, and drinking probiotic drinks like actimel, and I'm doing just fine. The itching did go away, but it was the only symptom I had, so I am not entirely sure - I got treated for thrush too, right before I started the antibiotic. | F | 25 | 7 days 2x200mg 2X day | 11/9/2010 | 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 500 MG 2X day | 11/9/2010 | 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 500 mg 3X day | 11/7/2010 | 4 | BV | Hormonal. Bad acne.Unusual periods. | No more BV symptoms. Just left with skin problems/acne. | F | 31 | 14 days 2X day | 11/6/2010 | 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 500 mg 2X day | 11/5/2010 | 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 500mg 2X day | 11/4/2010 | 2 | diverticulites | headaches,diarrhea,restless nights,fatigue,stomach pain. | Taking metronidazole and cipro, 500mg 2X per day. I lowered my dosage of metronidazole to 3X per day. this is day 8 and I will stop taking ofter today. ENOUGH...... | M | 62 | 14 days 750 4X day | 11/1/2010 | 3 | yes for h pylori tripple therapy | I am currently on my 6th day of h pylori treatment [metrinidazole 400 mg, esomeprazole 20mg, clarithromycin 500 mg] taken twice a day for 1 week. Headaches started on day 3 to day 6, loss of appetite, fatigue, tender stomach, I have still one day to go. my stomach is less bloated. Hopefully it will work. | Not sure yet if the medication will kill the h pylori. Still 1 day to go. | M | 49 | 7 days 400 mg 2X day | 10/31/2010 | 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 400 mg 3X day | 10/29/2010 | 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 500 1X day | 10/29/2010 | 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 400mg 3X day | 10/28/2010 | 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 500 2X day | 10/26/2010 | 3 | bv | sickness cant sleep diorea restless nights hives that ich cramps in tummy and really sore pain | im pregnant and had all these phoned doctor today to see whats happen i cant sleep its so hard when u have to kids lucky 1 at school and other trying to walk partner of work as im to ill to do anything ive never been lyk this before away to stop as pain in tumy made me cry this morning had to fone midwife but she cant do nothing as its the tablets side effect still got smell and discharge and im in to day 5 already dont no if its working any1 else taken this while pregnant xx | F | 22 | 7 days 400mg 2X day | 10/26/2010 | 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 400mg 3X day | 10/26/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Headaches, Stomach aches, nausea, cramping in stomach. VERY BAD TASTE! the taste would NEVER leave my mouth no matter what. | I am only 13 and i HATE this pill! my mom is calling the doctor to try and change it tomorrow. | F | 13 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 10/26/2010 | 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 500 mg 3X day | 10/23/2010 | 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. | F | 28 | 1 days 400mg x5 1X day | 10/22/2010 |
