| 3 | bv | Have been on it for 4+ days... since day 1, I felt in a fog with a terrible taste in my mouth... just an overall feeling of blah! Now I have a headache and last night I had nightmares. | F | 40 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | BV | Lethargic, unmotivated, sleepy, headache, terrible taste in mouth | I was diagnosed with BV and had terrible abdominal pain. I was put on this medication and am happy to be on the way to being cured, but the side effects are just horrible! I'm so sleep all the time and just feel completely useless. My head is pounding with a migraine and I'm almost wondering if next time I won't take this medication. | F | 32 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 8/15/2010 | 1 | giardia | AWFUL. my eyes have swollen up and it hurts to look in any direction. very sensitive to light. nauseau, lethargic, very sore throat, hurts to swallow, killer headache, extremely grumpy/mood swings. it may be helping the giardia but i will definitely try any natural methods before ever ever taking this again. | try other options before taking this- terrible medicine! | F | 20 | 7 days 250 mg 3X day | 8/13/2010 | 1 | Appendicular mass following hospita | EVIL EVIL EVIL! Was given these after spending a week in hospital with an appendicular mass and a week of IV antibiotics - these f-ers are evil. Terrible insomnia, I was begging to sleep but couldnt - stomach cramps and pain, feeling utterly shit, blurred vision. Rang up hospital and told them I could not take anymore. They are the devil incarnate of drugs!!! | M | 40 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 8/12/2010 | 2 | wisdom tooth infection | Extremely tired but unable to sleep. I now have a really itchy rash all over my body. i am so iritated by everything and also really depressed and emotional. | I hate this tablet and it doesn't seem to be helping the infection at all. | F | 30 | 7 days 400 3X day | 8/11/2010 | 1 | Dental Abscess | Awful! Feeling sick, got terrible diarrhoea, tired but can't sleep at night..and didn't treat the abscess which had to be opened up by the dentist. Been told to carry on taking the course...feel like stopping but so scared of the abscess coming back as that was worse than childbirth!! | F | 42 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 8/10/2010 | 2 | BV | With the Bv I felt tired, with the medicine I feel tired. I just want to sleep all the time. I never really feel in touch with reality, almost like I'm dreaming while awake. I have a metallic taste in my mouth. Sometimes after I take this pill with my meal I still feel nausea. At the same time I have a Sinus cold and for some reason I am having trouble breathing, from my lungs. I don't know if that's because of the meds but just in case someone else has experienced complications breathing, it might be this medicine, as I have had sinus colds before and the worst of it is a stuffy nose. I also have trouble staying asleep for long hours. This is my second day taking this medicine and I am really reconsidering finishing the remaining 5 days. | I was reading online, as a homeopathic remedy to douche with hydroperoxide...I might just do that. | M | 27 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 8/8/2010 | 4 | parasite Giardia | Weird, I have dizziness and terrible joint pain in neeck, shoulders,and spine. I sleep good but have a hard time waking up in the mornings. Two nights ago I broke out at midnight with a drenching sweat..which I have never experience before in my life even in menopause. My mood has been irritable and grumpy because I'm tired all the time. The pains in my neck and shoulders is unbearable at times and I've been popping Ibuprofen like crazy to get a break. Thank God today is the last day I have to take it. Hopefully the parasite I got in Nicaragua is gone. Untill I read this site I didn't realize the above sides affects were caused from the metronidazole. Thanks guys...I thought I was going crazy. | F | 52 | 5 days 250Mg 3X day | 8/7/2010 | 3 | Lump (abscess/ cyst TBC) in cheek | You can't drink alcohol with these antibiotics but I feel like I have a really bad hangover - my whole body feels toxic. I have a pain behind my left eye, an achy neck, strange twinges in stomach, nausea and burping. I generally feel rough. I am taking with 500mg of Amoxicillin three times a day. On the upside it seems to be controlling my strange lump and stopping it from getting any bigger. | F | 33 | 5 days 400mg 3X day | 8/5/2010 | 3 | Tooth Infection | Depressed, tired, irratable, finding fault with everything, not sleeping well, cant concentrate, distort, cant balance, slight tingle in legs. | Infection without knowing about it, discovered by my dentist when going for checkup, had slight sensitivity to hot and cold drinks now nothing. Seems to be working but very down and depressed, not like me. | M | 21 | 4 days 400mg 3X day | 8/5/2010 | 1 | Giardiasis | nausea, vomit, metallic tastes, WHITE/YELLOW FURRY TONGUE, dizziness, tiredness, insomnia, join pains, depression | This is the second time im taking this medicine for the same reason however, this time has destroyed my mouth and my vagina....now I have v. candiasis, and i dont know what is going on with my tongue (maybe I have candidiasis too?)...this is the 6th day after finishing the treatment and I still feel my tongue swollen and yellow/white....i dont even know if THIS TIME took away the giardiasis WOULDNT TAKE IT AGAIN!!!!! | F | 25 | 10 days 500mg 3X day | 8/5/2010 | 1 | tooth/gum infection | Severe headaches, red burning eyes, brownish red urine, tingling and numbness in arms, felt completely out of it. what would have happened if I'd took it for the week as prescribed? | Had to stop taking this as was very worried about the urine colour, as only have one kidney. Called doctor said stop taking it. Saw Dr today, who has sent urine for analysis though its not blood in it. Stopped tabs yesterday am still have very bad headache and some tingling. will look for natural alternatives. never again. | F | 59 | 2 days 400mg 3X day | 8/5/2010 | 2 | infection | extremely tired, depressed, very irritable and emotional.can't focus or concentrate, food doesn't taste as usual, always crave sweet stuff.my knees gave way a few times and can't seem to walk in a straight line-a drunk, hung-over feeling hanging over me all day.I put all the tiredness and irritability down to having had a baby 4 weeks ago, but looking back it must have been the medication making me feel this way.hope it clears up infection though. | F | 33 | 7 days 200 3X day | 8/4/2010 | 3 | BV | I had to stop taking this after 6 doses because the side effects were so horrible. I could barely sleep, felt nausea most of the time, had horrible headache and ear ache. The taste in the back of my throat was horrible. I stopped taking it 48 hrs ago, and it seems like it worked in only 1/2 the time to get rid of the problem. Now I am pretty sure I have an ear infection though...the pain in my right ear is so bad I've cried once today...time to call the dr. When there are other options, I would never take this again...it feels like poison. | F | 33 | 7 days tablets 2X day | 8/1/2010 | 1 | bv | loose stools | this is probabaly the worst drug ever. ive been dealin with bv all year ive got tested for stds all negative got 2 paps within the year one docter said it was bv but they keep prescribing me the same drug which doesnt work at all.. | F | 19 | 7 days 2X day | 8/1/2010 | 1 | possible parasite/ bowel infection | severe stomach pain, severe fever, feeling like hungover, bad nightmares. | grrrrr.... sicker now than ever | F | 24 | 4 days x3p/d x7d 3X day | 8/1/2010 | 4 | BV | Took 5 tablets x ? dose as this was the recommended way - I live in UK and was given tablets at GUM clinic. They tasted horrible - i never would have been able to do one at a time cos the taste was so bad, better in one go. The bad (metallic - ish) taste is still with me 24 hours later! I got very bad headache about 4 hours after i took the tablets, so went to bed. Slept through the night pretty well and now am completely EXHAUSTED - have not been able to get anything done today - except take a nap! Also my pee is dark. | If it works, I'll be happy cos BV is really disgusting and I want rid of it asap. | F | 46 | 1 days 5x?@once 1X day | 7/30/2010 | 3 | blastocystis hominis overgrowth | Just passed half-way mark and feel so utterly worthless that I must deserve the torment this stuff delivers. I have no idea if it's working, as nausea etc. goes on and on, but the effects on my psyche are devastating. Right now I feel that I've never done a good thing in my life. These may well turn out to be the longest 7 days of my life.Big thank you to everyone who has posted here. To know that others have struggled with it too is the only thing that helps and if I get through to the end it will be thanks to you guys. Never,ever again. | F | 58 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 7/30/2010 | 4 | BV | horrible sick to my stomach feeling, bad headaches, extremely tired and hard time waking up. with my sleep i had frightening and bizarre dreams. one of the last nights on it i couldnt fall asleep and had a severe mood swing. barely had an appetite with nasty metallic taste in my mouth. now that im done, i think i am having heart and back pains in my spine because of it. i think my eye sight might have got worse as well, or just made my eyes irritated. i also have a yeast infection. | this medicine definetely took the smell away which i am happy about, but it was scary to take. i was too afraid to drink alcohol and i wouldnt advise doing so. its a very intense medication. | F | 20 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 7/28/2010 | 3 | C - difficile bacterial infection | Headache from dehydration, diarrhea (it's supposed to fix that D:), severe nausea, severe fatigue (lathargic), tiredness, extreme dizziness, and I am constantly feeling as if I am going to vomit or pass out. Like I worry I am going to black out. | 4 days on this stuff so far and it helps one day, and the next it's as if nothings changed. I am taking it as directed on a regular enough schedule for it to be consistant. I'm also taking other medication and because of the bacteria I feel I'm not absorbing it correctly because it's less effective. | F | 25 | 3X day | 7/25/2010 |
