| 1 | vaginal bacteria | nauseating metallic taste in my mouth which is almost unbearable; flu-like symptoms;the feeling that if I eat something I will be sick to my stomach and the feeling that if I don't eat, I'll be sick to my stomach. | I have only one more day to go on this medication but I don't know how I'll get through it. I am so nauseous that I can hardly keep going and the last pills I took were 9 hours ago. I plan to talk with my doctor to ensure that I'm never given this medication again. | F | 59 | 6 days 750MG X2 2X day | 3/21/2010 | 5 | BV | none just was sleepy after taking it | The pill work my infection cure in 5 days when i went back to the doctor im still takin them until i run out to make sure the infection will not come back | F | 18 | 7 days 500 2X day | 3/17/2010 | 4 | BV | I felt like I was on the verge of getting sick, lethargic, fatigued, moody, sensitive, lack of real appetite and on the verge of crying most of the time. It didn't matter if I slept a long hours or shorter hours, I still felt as tired, emotional and unmotivated to do anything. I was pretty sure it was the antibiotics and not hormonal mood swings as I just past the pms and period time. | I was given this at Planned Parenthood. I have had this drug before [i didn't feel this crappy] but I'm not sure if I was given a lower dosage or what but I felt really horrible the first few hours of taking this drug, like I was getting the flu. All I wanted to do was sleep and found myself extremely cranky. I had the option to take the gel but I thought taking a pill would be less awkward. I forgot about the side effects. I didn't take this on an empty stomach and I didn't drink at all. Today is the 2nd to last day and I can't wait to get off of it. Despite all of these things, if this is what it takes to get rid of the funky smell and itch down there, then I'll take it. However, I might opt for the gel medication and not lose a week of my life to the extreme fatigue inducer known as Metronidazole. | F | 30 | 7 days 500 2X day | 3/17/2010 | 4 | gum infection after extractions | Nausea, headache. About 32 hours after completing the course I had massive diarreah. | I would like to add the following. I was very upset when I read it could make me sick as I have a weak stomach. When I declared my horror, my dentist recommend I take a pottle of yoghurt prior to taking this with food to line my stomach. This helped as I did not vomit. | F | 47 | 5 days 400 mg 2X day | 3/17/2010 | 5 | BV | None. Slight nausea on the occasion I took the pill before eating. | My doctor gave me a sheet about Metronidazole. I READ IT. Obviously anyone having problems with this drug either failed to read about the drug they were taking, or failed to obey the instructions they were given. It has completely solved my problem, and the only time I had a problem with it was when I failed to follow instructions RIGHT ON THE BOTTLE. | F | 28 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 3/16/2010 | 5 | BV | dizziness,nausea, migraine, disorientation, pins and needles in legs, instability, unable to walk without falling, knees/legs collapsing - I was terrified until I found this site | This drugs if efficient in treating BV but doctors should warn of the severe side effects | F | 47 | 7 days 200mg 3X day | 3/14/2010 | 1 | gum infection | numbness,tingling of hands,clammy,lost all use of right arm,clammy,tingly feet,head ache,off food,nasty taste,vile medication.. | never take it again,alright for some ,but not for me. | F | 50 | 7 days 200mg 3X day | 3/13/2010 | 1 | Overgrowth of bad bacteria | DISGUSTING, AWFUL lingering taste all over mouth, tongue, throat. Absolutely dread taking this medicine and am only on day 2 of 14. Very tired at work. Reading more about it - now worried for more horrible side effects. | F | 32 | 14 days 500mg 2X day | 3/12/2010 | 1 | bowel infection | severe pressure in my stomach and pelvis area...threw up 2x, horrible metallic taste in my mouth, dark fowl urine, dizzy spells, disoriented. | hated this medicine. I am stopping it after one week. | F | 68 | 14 days 250 mg 4X day | 3/9/2010 | 3 | Bacterial Infection | change in stool color, metallic taste, white tongue, sore throat (one side of my throat) | I fist used this 200mg 3x 10 days. After I stopped the medicine my throat was fine and white patches disappeared. Then I had to start again, 500 mg 3x 10 days. All side effects appeared again, 3 days to go. I also feel very moody, hungry and not hungry at the same time, have the metallic taste for 3-4 days but gone now. | M | 30 | 10 days 500 mg 3X day | 3/8/2010 | 5 | Tooth abscess | None | I have been taking this drug for 3 days and, other than feeling a little sleepier than usual in the afternoons, I have had no side effects all. Having read a couple of articles challenging the theory that this drug creates a violent reaction when taken with alcohol, last night I decided to risk it and had a couple of glasses of wine. I sat back and waited for something to happen - sickness, headeache etc - but.. nothing. I felt absolutely fine, had a good night's sleep and am at work today feeling very well. In 3 days, the infection seems to have cleared and I've gone from having excruciating pain to having none. So, feeling good, off to a birthday party tonight and, yes, I will certainly be having a couple of drinks. | F | 43 | 3 days 200mg 3X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | BV | dizziness, vomiting, extreme fatigue, hard time focusing, depression | I am asking my doctor to put in my notes never to put me on this medication again. This is ridiculous and should be mandatory of the doctor to explain the side effects before administering this drug. We shouldn't have to go to a website to find it out for ourselves. | F | 23 | 7 days 500 2X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | Side effects: Moody, depressed, teary, much like the Premenstrial Disfunction Disorder I get only it's the wrong time of the month, started the very first day. Nasty taste in mouth | I have 3 and a half days left of meds, can't wait till they are done. Won't take this med again. | F | 42 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 3/4/2010 | 2 | BV | No side effects, but hasn't cleared up problem! Felty a little light headed about 20 minutes after taking pill, but quite nice! | F | 36 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 3/3/2010 | 5 | periodontal disease | None | I took my doctor and other people on this sites' advice. DO NOT drink any alcohol or anything with alcohol such as mouthwash. I also limited my vinegar in take. I had yogurt and a banana with practically each dosage. I also spaced out each daily dose as much as I could within my waking hours. I may have been a bit more tired but nothing drastic. I also did feel a bit out of it one evening but after taking an hour nap I was fine and never felt sick again. | F | 44 | 9 days 500 3X day | 3/2/2010 | 2 | Wisdom tooth | complete disorientation - unable to focus on work, general feelings of sickness, and unsteady on feet - despite sleeping 10 hours a day, am feeling exhausted and heavy headed | M | 43 | 7 days 400 mg 3X day | 3/1/2010 | 1 | infection after loop excision | Panic attacks,disorientated,rapid heartbeat,nausea,vomiting,constant anxiety,shaking,depression,feelings of helplessness,tummy cramps. | Being on these tablets might work for some people,but for others like me I have suffered the worst three days of my life. I thought I was going mad due to the side effects,and the tablets affected my potassium level which resulted in more problems.I have to say I did need them for the infection but did not take the full course as they made me feel weird very early on. Just be careful with these tablets and ask your doctor for advice if you are worried.Can't wait for the effects to wear off. | F | 30 | 7 days 400mg 3X day | 2/28/2010 | 3 | to get rid of an infection | i have loose bowls, flu like symptoms, sore chest and, no desire to eat or drink | F | 21 | 3 days 30 2X day | 2/27/2010 | 5 | stomach infection | only side effect i've had is some mild drowsiness and yellowing tongue. im on celexa so perhaps the celexa helps with some of the side effects | wonderful drug-other antibiotice i've taken have really effected me negatively. not this one. | F | 26 | 3 days 500 3X day | 2/26/2010 | 2 | p.i.d | after taking for one day i started feeling extreme tirdness to the point of falling asleep sitting up..on day 2 the shootong pains to the left side of my head started along with a foul taste in my mouth.day 3 and my tounge is sore and furry and i feel like there is a coating over the back of my throat that i cant get rid of.my stools have changed in colour to a pale yellow although not loose.stomach cramps coming and going..cant wait to finish this horrible drug. | F | 34 | 11 days 400mg 2X day | 2/26/2010 |
