| 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 | 1 | Infection in my gums | I'm having constant headaches with ear ache and neck pain, I feel depressed and want to cry all the time. Symptoms of a cold with red runny eyes. Hot sweats, tired all the time. Also feel like I'm in a daze, dreamy, drunk feeling and clumsy. I've broken so many glasses in just a few days as my judgement was out when aiming for the kitchen side and I've missed. | Not a nice medicine, I was feeling well in myself before taking this medicine. I suffer with migrain headaches sometimes and this medicine has really made me feel bad contantly and raised my blood pressure. I have 5 tablets left and have been counting down the days and telling myself I can get through it, I have been taken of penacilin for the same reason and was told this was better. | F | 35 | 5 days 200mg 3X day | 7/25/2010 | 4 | Pilonidal Sinus | Extreme fatigue, feeling run down, but then unable to actually sleep, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, mouth ulcers... | This has some pretty nasty side effects but it has worked well and cleared up the infection and kept the wound clean. Didn't make me feel nearly as sick as penicillin either, but they are not nice pills! | F | 21 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | Skin infection | Bloodshot stinging eyes | I stopped taking these after being taken into hospital I get home after stopping meds and my eyes start stinging wether this has anything to do with the lack of sleep I dunno. This is poison for the brain get well soon everyone | M | 30 | 3 days 400 mg 3X day | 7/24/2010 | 1 | cloudy head - felt like I had been sedated, extreme lethargy, flu-like feeling, | I was taking this for a bad tooth infection along with Amoxicillin. After I complained to my periodontist he said I could stop it at the end of the fourth day. So far its the fifth day and my head feels clear but my energy has not yet returned. | F | 62 | 4 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/24/2010 | 4 | amoebas | After 4 days, the only side effects are bloodshot eyes, a bit of dizzyness, & increased alertness leading to some insomnia. | I do not know if the bloodshot eyes are normal. Only one other person seemed to encounter it. | F | 27 | 7 days 500 2X day | 7/23/2010 | 3 | Intestine infection, Diverticulitis | Dreadful, furry tongue, brown urine, hang over feeling, shaking of hands and arms. cloudy head all day, tiredness, weakness in legs,dizziness, lack of concentration, Endured just, but would never use again. They were taken with Klaricid tablets, just as awful. Positive is that intestine infection cleared up. | M | 63 | 5 days 400 3X day | 7/22/2010 | 2 | bv | i would never recommend these tablets, i have never been so ill. Shaking, feeling sick, dizziness, weepy, tired and feeling run down. Got quickly dehydrated. Even nurse said its not a nice tablet, says it all really!! | Dont take these tablets, even you do prepare for horrible couple of days, goodluck!!! | F | 29 | 1 days 2000mg 1X day | 7/21/2010 | 3 | Wisdom tooth infection | Metallic taste in mouth, EXTREME TIREDNESS, unable to get up in morning, bouts of hunger and nausea (but no actual throwing up; nausea at bearable level), slightly racing heart, constantly thirsty, weakness, inability to concentrate, slurred speech, mild insomnia. | Excellent at killing a huge infection which had spread overnight down my throat and into my gland under the neck. I was in extreme pain and this handled it within 48 hours, so I'm not complaining. Lucky I work from home and had no work, as there's no way I would have been able to function on it. The seventh day (last day of treatment) was not too bad, but the day AFTER that horrendous - feel like I'd been drugged heavily, never been so tired in my life. I took the tablets exactly as indicated. Found dairy (esp. ice cream) and chocolate helpful during bouts of nausea. Hope side effects go away quickly. Was pleased to see that it didn't interfere to any marked extent with my gut flora (which broad-spectrum antibiotics had done a good job of totally wiping out some years previously), so that was a major plus, but hope I never have to take antibiotics of any description ever again! Still, considering the extent of the infection and how quickly it had spread, it was the lesser of the two evils... | F | 33 | 7 days 400 mg 3X day | 7/19/2010 | 1 | wisdom tooth infection | depression / insomnia / really bad mood swings | when coming off this stuff, tooth ache re-appeared. have to wait another 2 days for wisdom tooth to be taken out. feel like strangling the dentist. never ever again will I take this stuff !!! | M | 63 | 5 days 500 3X day | 7/19/2010 | 3 | BV | extremely lethargic, foul taste in my mouth, furry tounge | Foul taste in my mouth for the first few days, then started feeling extremely lethargic and still am and i am on fourth day. Worse med to be on but it works. | F | 24 | 7 days 2X day | 7/16/2010 | 3 | cramping and bloating, jumping heart, feel bad, stomach growling, acid in stomach, dark urine, head ache, diarrhea, feeling of distress | I am taking this with Amoxicillin. This is certainly unpleasant but not as bad as the pain from my sinus infection caused by wisdom tooth removal. I am staying close to the bathroom. I am half way through the 10 days and I am counting every pill – waiting for the end. I will be glad when this is over. | M | 64 | 10 days 500 3X day | 7/16/2010 | 1 | possible abdominal infection | insomnia, metallic taste in mouth, anxiety, heart pounding/palpitations | Can't sleep because of pounding heart - after the 3rd day of taking this, felt like my heart was literally going to jump out of my chest. And the night time anxiety is bad - felt like something really bad was going to happen. Cannot continue on this med and won't take it ever again. | F | 41 | 3 days 2X day | 7/15/2010 | 4 | fistula | Drowsniness, strange dreams and a little melancholia. | Metronidazole is a doddle. The side-effects in my case were greatly outweighed by the benefits. I don't think I knew how ill I had been for so long until I took this drug. Pain that I'd got used to living with was no longer there. | M | 45 | 7 days 400 3X day | 7/11/2010 | 2 | BV | upset stomach, stomach craps, lethargic, feeling depressed and emotional, feelings of hopelessness, bad taste in mouth, crying for no reason. | Today is my 5th and final day on this medication thank God! I have been so down the past few days for new reason and had a hunch it could be this medication, I looked up side effects and realized I wasn't alone. I've been feeling very lethargic with no motivation to do anything, but then last night (4th nights on meds) I was wide awake until 430am. This medication is poison! | F | 27 | 5 days 500 2X day | 7/11/2010 | 5 | Diverticulitis | None | M | 66 | 7 days 250 4X day | 7/9/2010 | 4 | BV | Loose stools, nausea, vomitting, stomach pain, lethargy, funny taste in my mouth, dark urine, irritability, severe headache | This is not my first time taking this medication, I always get the same side effects and I eat a meal before I take it and drink lots of fluids while I am on it and I dont drink alchohol at all to begin with. I suppose some of the lethargy and irratability are from the GI side effects so I try to stay hydrated as well. It beats the alternative of keeping the infection it was prescribed for. When you take this medication avoid any food or beverage that will metabolize into the same chemical as alchohol, you may have to do some research but it helps with some of the common side effects. (That was told to me by a pharmacist years ago.) | F | 29 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/1/2010 | 4 | BV | Light headed, tired - no other side effects. | Hope it works, hate feeling so tired but it's tolerable. | F | 47 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/1/2010 |
