 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 3  BV I'm only on my second day (third pill) and I can barely stay awake! Finding it so hard to concentrate, really don't feel like I should be working. Also having hot and cold flashes, not nice at all so far! I really hope this stuff works at the end of my course, if not it's definitely not worth the constant fatigue I've been feeling. F 19 5 days

 1  Diverticulitis Dizziness, dry mouth, anxiety, rapid heartrate, numb lips, brain fog and confusion This is the WORST medicine I have ever taken! I am allergic to many meds so this was recommended in addition to taking Bactrim. I was counting the days until I was finished with it. It has been a week and a half since I finished with it and I am still having the "brain fog" I was having while on it. It did help with my infection, but I hope and pray I NEVER have to take it again! F 46 10 days
