| 2 | pulled tooth | Upset stomach,loopy,knot forming in throat because the pill gets stuck every time causing irritation | very worried about this medication but this is a second antibiotic my dentist put me on and I'm afraid to stop taking it. I panic every time it gets stuck in my throat thinking I am going to choke and now I am getting a permanent irritation in my throat that feels like a knot. Also, symptoms change from day to day. Had Professional Development Day with colleagues yesterday and had extremely difficult time concentrating. Took me over a half hour to write one paragraph. Kept trying to proof read and I couldn't get to the end, had to start over again and again.Had to have the Principal proof it for me and this was embarrassing. | F | 47 | 3 days 500MG 4X day | 10/9/2010 | 2 | dental infection | weakness/tiredness,joint stiffness,jaw pain,sleepiness, strange taste in mouth, hard to concentrate, darkish urine but only in mornings | The first day was the worst. I was really sleepy and tired and experienced joint stiffness. In the next day I did feel better but I still couldn't attend college. However at 4th day I got jaw pain and I don't know how but I caught cold so now I have running nose as well. What worries me is that it seems that these pills don’t help. My cheek is still swollen; affected gum is still red and swollen. Tomorrow is the last day of treatment and I’ll book appointment with my dentist again. ANNA | F | 24 | 7 days 400 MG 3X day | 10/5/2010 | 3 | mysterious tooth infection | weakness, dark urine, nausea, vomiting, fuzzy tongue, strange taste in mouth | The side effects started about day three. First with the bad taste and fuzzy tongue, I couldn't brush enough to get rid of it. Even though I drank large quantities of water, it looking like I was urinating coffee. By day five, I had horrible nausea and was vomiting everything including water. I could not go on with treatment, but hey, it got rid of the infection. | M | 41 | 10 days 500mg 4X day | 10/4/2010 | 1 | Crohn's disease | Dizziness, Severe Anxiety, Insomnia, Nausea, Headaches, Trush mouth, heart palpitations and Fear. | I almost commited my self to a mental institution while taking this medication, because of the severe Anxiety attacks and pain. I had never had an anxiety attack or mental disorder until taking this medication. I felt sicker on this medication than I did before getting on it. | F | 28 | 10 days 250mg 4X day | 10/4/2010 | 1 | BV | This medicine is the worst I have ever taken!!! I got so sick from it that I stopped using on day 5 of 7 day dose. It's now been 2 days and I'm still feeling the side affects. I can't sleep, horrible nightmares, cotton mouth, muscle ache, stomache, diarrhea, depression, no energy, shakes, empty blah feeling... This is seriously scareing the hell out of me :( | On a good note bv is gone but at what price!!! | F | 38 | 5 days 500mg 3X day | 10/4/2010 | 2 | For a tooth abcess | Feel very run down. My gums feel sore all over. Seems to have increased skin sensitivity and my eyes feel like they are burning! Also I have developed a cold and an uncomfortable sore throat. Cried yesterday out of the blue, for no apparent reason. Joint stiffness makes me feel about 80 years old. | Glad I've read some of the remarks on here. Reassuring to see what might be causing all these funny symptoms. Actually I'd put up with them if it looked like it was clearing the abcess/infection, but it doesn't seem to be working so far. | F | 45 | 5 days 400 3X day | 10/2/2010 | 1 | BV | Nausea, vomiting, stomache pain, profuse sweating | I did not take ANY alcohol, I DO NOT drink. Neither does my husband and we both had side effects (Gynae told us we both had to take them). I had to discontinue as the nausea and vomiting was so severe, I couldn't keep even water down and I have diabetes to boot. The only BV symptoms I have are the smell, after sex if we don't use condoms......I would rather keep using condoms. | F | 40 | 4 days 400mg 3X day | 10/1/2010 | 1 | H-pylori | metallic taste,belching,extreme nausea,headache,abdominal pain,just feeling awful in general | would like to hear if anyone had these symptoms with h-pylor treatment | F | 36 | 7 days 400 3X day | 10/1/2010 | 4 | womb infection after surgery | After first day - heartburn, brown urine, nausea, metallic taste in mouth, acid reflux; after third day - trouble sleeping, back ache (hope it's the tablets and not still the infection, need to wait until I've finished tablets); after fourth day - palpitations, very scary nightmares, slight itchy skin. One day to go, can't wait. | Medicine seems to have helped, but a less severe one that worked would be good, huge effort to keep working. | F | 55 | 7 days 400 mg 3X day | 9/29/2010 | 1 | BV | Bad taste in mouth, dizziness, tearfulness, headache, rash & hives. | I had an almost immediate bad taste in my mouth. Then on day 3, I had a low grade fever and awful headache and my eyes felt like someone was pushing their thumbs in them. Then on day 5, I woke up and immediately started crying. I was woozy and off balance. Then on day 6 I broke out in a rash and hives. I called the doctor, who had me discontinue taking it. So now 48 hrs after my last dose, I still get hives when the Benadryl wears off and the bad taste is still there. My balance is getting better. I bad no idea the depression could be because of the drug until reading this forum! For this I gave up having a drink on my birthday?!?!? | F | 46 | 6 days 500 mg 3X day | 9/29/2010 | 1 | Chronic Diarrhoea | Violent Migraine headache, no drug cleared it, into third day now, metalic taste, dizziness, lethargy and sleepy, eyesight fuzzy, nausious. | Anyone who says keep off the alchohol wash yer mouth out I haven't touched a drop and feel absolutely terrible, haven't had a migraine in 20 years but this one has made up for it. As for reading the instructions - what instructions, I got none and the hospital will certainly get to hear about this, I don't like being off work but couldn't lift my throbbing head let alone drive the car and as for teaching 11 to 16 year olds forget that one, I think suicide sounds better at the moment. | F | 57 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 9/28/2010 | 1 | ovarian cyst/pelvic inflammatory | horrible side effects, insomnia, muscle jerks, stomach upset beyond belief. horrible nightmares when I do get the wee bit of sleep. have 6 more days of this awful medication. taking in conjunction with Oxfloxacin so I am getting double whammied. | F | 36 | 8 days 500 2X day | 9/28/2010 | 4 | bv | metal taste in mouth, tired and a little nausea in the morning when i wake up. i'm fine because i read the directions and side effects. duh. | PEOPLE YOU ARE SOOO STUPID!!! READ THE SIDE EFFECTS!!! first of all it clearly says on the bottle DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHEN TAKING THE MEDICINE. CHECK ALL ALL MEDICINE OR FOOD LABELS TO HELP AVOID HIDDEN SOURCES OF ALCOHOL. Alcohol and this medicine causes SEVERE stomach upset/cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache and flushing. IT'S ON THE PRESCRIPTION INFO. also, it says, if you are experiencing unsteadiness, mental/mood changes, numbness/tingling of hands/feet, painful peeing, eye pain, sudden vision changes,& severe stomach pain immediately tell your doctor. IT'S ON PRESCRIPTION INFO. and of course if you do get a yeast infection, that's common. you are taking an antibiotic!! i hope i helped. also drink alot of water and eat something before you take the meds. and chew gum to take away the metal taste. | 23 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 9/22/2010 | 5 | STD | a metal taste in my mouth since day 3, hopefully its just because of the medicine | F | 29 | 7 days 250 3X day | 9/21/2010 | 4 | BV | loss of appetite, bad smelling stool, darkening or urine and stool, bad after-taste. | Hasn't affected me too much. But I also wasn't aware that I had BV until my doctor ran some tests during a routine pelvic exam. I chewed some minty gum after taking the pill and that actually helped me get rid of the taste. | F | 19 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 9/21/2010 | 5 | BV | NONE | I have had no side effects what so ever and i have taken it for 6 days now. | F | 29 | 10 days 500mg 2X O | 9/17/2010 | 3 | BV | DAY 1 & 2 - extreme nausea, hot flashes, exhaustion, extreme mood swings between anger and persistent crying, body pains DAY 3 - tired, foggy, body pains DAY 4-7 yet to come | I don't understand why the mood changes are not listed as side effects. I was confused, I thought I was pregnant, I thought my life was a mess and hopeless. If I had known it was a reaction from the medicine it would have been easier to cope with and understand that it wasn't me. I have some history with depression and I thought I was going into another spell. | F | 23 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 9/13/2010 | 4 | Infection in my gums | Nausia, headaches, drowsiness, exhaustion, emotional, mood swings, unable to finish sentences or make decisions, crying and feeling I'm a failure. No co-ordination , has taken me ages to write this. Also have tingly weak arms and legs. Thought I was alone in this but seems everyone taking it is having a rough time. | Hoping it is getting rid of the infection as don't think I want to cope with taking this drug again. Took my last tablet 24 hours ago and still feel the symptoms I stated. | F | 27 | 5 days 400mg 3X day | 9/9/2010 | 1 | Gum infection | bad night sweats, chills, cramps, nausea, sore throat, head aches, no energy and felt very depressed. | Within 3 hours of starting this drug felt as though i had flu, and it just got worse for the 3 days i took this poison. Couldn't go to work, slept for most of the time and felt so ill i didn't know what to do with myself. Made me feel very depressed and couldn't stop crying. Doctor advised to stop taking immediatly, still had 3 days left of tablets and 24 hours since i took last pill starting to feel a lot better. Wiil NEVER take this drug again. | F | 31 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 9/9/2010 | 3 | bacterial cervical infection | Terrible nausea. Almost threw up several times. Bad headache that just would not go away. So tired I could barely move. Sipping coke helped with the nausea, but nothing helps the headache. | F | 48 | 5 days 500 mg 3X day | 9/2/2010 |
