| 1 | infection after wisdom tooth | Very bad indigestion after day 1. After day 2 bad stomach pain and nausea. Horrible metallic taste all the time and blood-like taste now and it's day 4. Tooth infection no better and cheek and gum still feels fuzzy and a bit numb. Have had 2 courses of Amoxicillin already so was hoping this would cure it but no!! Reading all the other comments makes me feel better because I now realise I've been feeling quite down and hungry. Disappointing - hasn't cured my wisdom tooth infection. Guess its a 4th trip to the dentist!!! | Tastes horrible. My Mum said the worse it tastes, the more it benefits you so I'll be driving over to give her a smack in a minute as it hasn't worked......only joking about the smack!! | F | 38 | 4 days 400mg 3X day | 6/25/2010 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Fatigue, drowsiness, easily irritated | The smell seems to be going away. I just took my last pill... maybe I've had BV for so long that I don't remember what my normal smell is like. | F | 18 | 5 days 400mg 2X day | 6/22/2010 | 1 | tooth infection | felt dizzy,tingling front of legs, back of hands, panic attacks, night sweats, tiredness, headache, and brain fog. | took 9 tablets in June 2008 and discovered later that I had previously been prescribed courses of this medication 9 times over 10 years for diviticulitus as a result this last treatment affected me very much, my GP was very helpful and after medical tests I am now left with reactive hypoglycemia, so no sugar and eat regularly and the tingling sensations are still there. I am not diabetic. Anyone else who has long term problems because of this drug please contact me so we can band together to get a full investigation about what is causing such serious side effects. I understand it is a valuable antibiotic but perhaps it should not be prescribed too many times to patients. | F | 73 | 3 days 200 mg 3X day | 6/18/2010 | 4 | bv | its working but i have diarrhea and a ghastly taste in my mouth which is making my tongue furry and dry!...only one more day... | F | 23 | 5 days 400 2X day | 6/16/2010 | 4 | BV | anxiety, feeling down, strange dreams, tiredness, however nothing unbearable - been taking for 3 days now...took before,but for 5 days instead of 7. had the same side effects but again nothing that wasnt unbearable. ensure to drink plenty of water, no alcohol and eat before you take! Side effects completely dissapear after the last day! | works well...side effects bearable if taken correctly! | F | 21 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 6/8/2010 | 4 | bv | I have been taking this medication for just under a week, 2days to go! Thank God I have felt really sick and some times i feel like i could vomit.I feel really run down and i am always sleeping have no energy to do anything.In my own world all the time and kind of dazed. its the worst thing ever!! Good luck ladies its a hard one x | F | 23 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 6/8/2010 | 2 | wisdom tooth/gum infection | vomiting, nausea, headache, loss of appetite (forced myself to eat as I had to have food with tablets), fever, dizziness and slight stomach upset. | I will not take this drug again. It helped a little with the pain but the vomiting and nausea has been unbearable. I advise you to ask your dentist/doctor for another antibiotics if possible. I'm on my forth day and I'm still not feeling 100% . Still have a gum infection and still feeling all of the side effects I mentioned. | F | 20 | 5 days 400mg 3X day | 6/7/2010 | 2 | bacterial infection | dizzy,tiredness,metallic taste,depression | I was discharged from the hospital with pneumonia and this drug was prescribed to me by my doctor. I have not been myself since. I am about to make an appointment with my doctor to see other alternatives ,I want to return back to my energetic self. My daily routine is working out but that's not even an option now and I'm suppose to take this for 35 days? Impossible, I want "ME" back. | M | 30 | 35 days 500 mg 3X day | 6/7/2010 | 4 | Taking it for gum infection. Severe headache. | Got the headaches an hour after taking a pill. Will complete the dose to get rid of the gum/toothache but will ask the doctor to prescribe something else if I ever get a similar problem. | M | 57 | 5 days 3X day | 6/6/2010 | 3 | Bacterial Infection in gums | Nausea, Lethargy, Sleepiness, Metallic taste, General feeling unwell | So far im not liking this medication the nausea is pretty constant | F | 22 | 3 days 400mg 3X day | 6/4/2010 | 3 | BV | SO TIRED, bad taste in mouth, nauseous, sore muscles, dull headache, itchy vagina | One more day left to go (2 pills). I'm going to opt never to take this pill again. I am so exhausted | F | 26 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 6/4/2010 | 1 | BV | headache,nausea,body temperature fluctuations(chills), irritability,depression,ANXIETY,nightmares, Mood swings with crying,intestinal cramping,loss of appetite, depersonalization,dizzy,numbness, lowered sex drive | I've been taking this medication for 3 days and began experiencing side effects the first day. I've barely done anything the last 3 days, haven't been into work because side effects so rotten. My relationship with my live-in boyfriend is being severely affected to the point that he is staying at a friends tonight to give us some space because of the yelling and crying and picking fights.I've woken up afraid every morning since taking this drug, the nightmares are unlike anything i've ever experienced,I'm tired and wired at the same time.Self deprecating thoughts,sensitivity to rejection or perceived rejection. I'm so upset that my doctor didn't suggest another method of treatment when I asked if this was the only med available. He didn't offer the Gel, which I've read in other comments. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR THAT I HAVE NOT CONSUMED ALCOHOL since starting this medication, in fact up to 2 days before I had not had any alcoholic beverage. I WANT MY LIFE BACK, my boyfriend doesn't deserve to be adversely affected because of what im on, i've never reacted so strongly to a medication before. This is such bullshit! | F | 24 | 3 days 500 3X day | 6/4/2010 | 3 | bacterial infection | severe nausea, metallic taste in the mouth, lethargy, sleepiness, light-headed, irritability, headaches, depression | The side effects of this drug are pretty terrible. I don't know if it's worked yet as I am in the middle of taking my prescribed dose, but I have had a really miserable experience. I have experienced extreme nausea throughout and a pretty bad metallic taste in my mouth. Depression, lethargy are constant and I have no appetite. I am now on my fifth day and the nausea is abating a bit. Better than what it was before but still pretty bad. | M | 48 | 7 days 500 mg 4X day | 6/2/2010 | 5 | gum infection | Loose stools (worse than regular drinking will produce), slight headache (though this is on the same side as the gum infection - upper jaw). Took me 4 days to get a decent nights sleep, though this could be because i'm used to drinking every evening (which i'm no longer doing whilst taking them having read horror stories), been up regularly on these things for over 20 hours a day. Slight dizziness, though nothing worrying at all. I appear to have slight tunnel vision to, again nothing to get upset about (could be the lack of sleep i guess). | This pill tastes vile - very bitter/metalic indeed! Though i had no after taste a few minutes after swallowing it (wash it down with strong fruit juice). Being taken along with 500mg Amoxicillin 3x D & 400mg Ibuprofen 3x D. It appears to work very well indeed. The day after i started taking them i was no longer in severe pain, no massive headache or pressure in my jaw, all gradually decreasing. As each day has gone by things have improved dramatically. Taking the last pill inside of an hour, happy chappy tomorrow ;-) | M | 43 | 5 days 400 3X day | 5/31/2010 | 1 | H. Pylori Bacteria (stomach) | I have extreme anxiety now with heart palpitations, a racey feeling inside and I'm nauseted all day long. I feel fearful and worried for no reason. I've been emotional about nothing and way overreacting and crying for no reason. This drug is giving me severe brain fog and weird dark feelings like I'm not myself. My depression is overwhelming and I feel hopeless. It has zapped all my energy. I feel faint and dizzy and hot all the time now but I have the chills inside. So weird. Since I have started it I have had diahrrea too. | How can this medication be good? It feels like poison. Surely there is a better way out there to get well. I am miserable and I still have a week to go on it. Are we all just stupid? I'm looking on the internet for a natural cure for H. Pylori bacteria in my stomach. | F | 53 | 14 days 250 4X day | 5/31/2010 | 1 | infection after tooth extractiom | nausia, dizziness, yellow furry tongue, numbness to face, tiredness | tiredness, numbness to face and yellow furry tongue started on 2nd day then nausia and dizziness on 4th..now 24hrs after finishing course all side effects still present and infection hasn't been cleared! back to dentist tomorrow but will not be taking these EVER again! | M | 32 | 5 days 200 3X day | 5/31/2010 | 4 | C Diff. | I just started taking this medication this morning, and already feel dehydrated, and cannot drink/eat anything because of the metallic taste. I have felt tired and irritated all day and snapped at people I am normally in good nature with. As of right now I am neutral to this medication as it immediatly stopped my 3 months of diarreah, yet I feel disgusting and moody. | F | 16 | 10 days 3X day | 5/28/2010 | 5 | Diverticulitis | nausea; loss of appetite; tiredness; headache; weakness | Someone below said that this drug kills good bacteria and probiotics should be taken. This is simply untrue; the drug is only taken up by anaerobes (bacteria that do not need oxygen) and this does not include "good" bacteria or those bacteria you find in probiotics. I find the drugs side-effects unpleasant and debilitating but compared to the pain and potential lethal complications of the illness it is treating it is something I am happy to put up with. | F | 49 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 5/23/2010 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Metallic taste in mouth, nausea, no vomiting but I felt close many times. Chills, cramps, diarrhea, low energy and short temper. Dark urine and fatigue(slept 10-12 hrs/day, although not always in sequence; I took naps because of sapped energy). Was very curt with those around me. I am generally easy going. Aversion to alcohol and food in general tasted different due to constant bad/metallic taste in my mouth. | Horrible tasting drug! I was so glad to read some of the other comments. I am taking this medication for a painful abdominal condition and I continued to have cramping and bloating while taking the medication. It was confusing because I wasn't sure if I was getting any better or not until I researched the medication and realized what I was feeling was a side effect of the medicine. So I get prescribed a medicine that gives me similar effects to the disorder I am trying to treat, GREAT. I took almost all of my Rx, I just through the last one away after reading about it on several sites online. I can't imagine missing one pill is going to make that big of a difference. I have looked forward to getting off of this med since I started it. I have barely been able to eat much of anything while on it. I have primarily been on a liquid diet. I ate a lot of soup and juices to try and keep myself hydrated and make sure I got proper nutrition. This was NOT an easy regimen to follow. I drank as much water as I could without feeling nauseous and nothing would get rid of the bad mouth or make me feel generally hydrated. | F | 38 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 5/23/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | HEADACHES, feeling depressed, wanting to cry all the time (the knot in my throat doesn't seem to go away), awful metal taste in my mouth especially when I suck in air, blurry vision, neck pain, irritable, and TIRED! I hate being on this drug. Never had any infection or had to take any prescribed drugs that made me feel this way! What I am irritated about is that I didn't even have any pain due to the infection that I didn't know I have. My DR. told me I had it after my pap. 5 more days to go. UGH!!! | F | 33 | 8 days 500MG 2X day | 5/20/2010 |
