The first time it was just bad taste and funny looking stools. Now I feel like I want to kill myself. I cant sleep if I lay down I just start to freak out M 49 1 days

 3  Giardia Lightheaded, dizzy, tired, foggy, headaches. It was difficult to sleep all the way through the night. I just finished a five-day course of Flagyl and I'm praying it cleared me of the Giardia. I still feel as if I'm on the Flagyl and still feel foggy, but not quite as tired. M 41 5 days

 1  BV The first 3 days I was fine, however on the 3rd night I had terrible nightmares and vomited immediately after I woke up. The whole day at work (I am a hairstylist) I thought I was going to puke on my clients head and had to get another stylist to finish her perm. Awful nausea, worst headache I've ever had where I cannot even move my eyes. Super tired but cannot sleep more than a few hours. F 22 7 days

 1  diverticulitis Extreme pain/headache in forehead. Doctors telling me that it isn't caused by the Metronidazole, but soon after taking each dose, I get the reaction. Can't stand the pain and nothing seems to help. It may cure the diverticulitis, but I don't know if I can keep taking this drug for another 8 days! I feel like I'll go crazy from the headache pain.

 3  Possible giardia infection Depression, irritability, nausea, exhausted and tired, terrible loss of appetite, white furry tongue, brown urine, anxiety, a feeling of detachment and estrangement from others, as if there were an invisible wall between myself and the world I was relieved to read these other posts. Now I only hope that these side effects wear off soon after I finish the medication. It is the worst drug I have yet taken, but the terrible gas from giardia has gone and the diahrrea is fading away as well. Possibly the worst two side effects are the loss of appetite, which makes the mere thought of food nauseating, and depression. Like most others I was unaware of what I was getting into when I began taking this medication. M 23 14 days

 1  prevent infection after d n c After about 20mins of taking this i felt dizzy and like id lost connection with the world, then by day five i had servere headache and funny vision, heartburn and very bad aggression, and suisidal thoughts. This drug is evil i stopped taking it on day five as i thought i was going to die my heart just wouldnt stop racing. I have woken up on what would have been day 6 and feel so much better. I would not advise anyone to take this drug. The information on the leaflet just scraps the surface of what this drug actually does to you. F 26 7 days

 5  Bowel infection Metallic taste, headache, some bloating, nausea, lethargy. Hard to know if bloating and nausea & lethargy are from meds or from recovery from the infection that caused such a gruesome night of pain! Drinking LOTS of water (12 oz. 5-6 times/day in addition to other fluids) and eating small amounts of bland food through the day helps. PLEASE read the drug information you were given. Many are ignoring side effects that the insert says require an immediate call to your doctor! Not all drugs work for all people and they do come with side effects but I am very thankful; the 2 antibiotics I was given are clearly beating the infection. I know because I can stand up, walk and LIVE without excruciating pain! Glad I didn't read this page early on - would have scared me. F 54 7 days

 3  BV I experienced neck & back pain after taking the drug for a few days. Overall I haven't had any other side effects. VERY HELPFUL INFO!!!! My family practioner told me to take a Probioctic to help replenish the good bacteria since the metronidazole kills off both good & bad bacteria. I'm sure that's probably why I haven't had any other side effects?? F 33 7 days
