| 1 | Dental (Root canal problem) | Dark urine, sore throat & coated tongue I could cope with BUT by day 4 of a 5 day course(400mg) I had the most uncomfortable acid burning sensation from what I presume is 'Heartburn & Indigestion' + a feeling of something stuck in my chest & throat. | I took plenty of water with each pill. Unfortunatly due to Dental problems I was unable to eat or chew food other than Banana & yogurt for first couple of days. Therefore was really taking doses without or after food as directed. Was prescibed this drug by my Dentist due to having allergy to Penicillin. | F | 51 | 5 days | 12/7/2009 | 3 | bacterial Vagionosis | highly elevated mood swings (cried when i got lost and because i missed my husband while he was at work, twenty minutes later, more happy go lucky than ive ever been in my LIFE). incredibly furry tongue in the morning. | works well for what it was prescribed for, tastes three different ways of awful though. | F | 21 | 5 days | 12/5/2009 | 2 | BV | Headaches,nausea,stomach and body aches, teeth pains, pain in ears etc | F | 34 | 5 days | 12/5/2009 | 3 | Dental Abscess | Tiredness, Head-aches, general bad feeling. This is the second time I have taken 3x 200mg metronidazole for 5 days in the last year and I have felt bloody awful while taking it both times. It has also worked for me both times so I'm fairly satisfied with it. | *WARNING* I foolishly ignored advice by the dentist to avoid alcohol 24 hours after taking the 5 day course and went for a Sunday afternoon drinking session. Within half an hour of my first pint I was projecting vomit like that the girl in the exorcist and spent the rest of the day feverish with my head down the toilet feeling like my life was about to end in the most undignified way. I survived but won't do it again. Smoking weed seems to be to have no interaction though if anyone's was wondering | M | 30 | 5 days | 12/3/2009 | 4 | Parasite Infection of the stomach | Three days went smoothly. Then started loss of appetite, extreme grogginess (on Thanksgiving), metallic taste, nausea, extreme dryness of the skin so much so that I could not open my eyes as it was irritating and watering. | I was prescribed 500mg three times a day for 7 days for some parasitic infection of the stomach, which had increased my bowel movements. I am 140lbs. Not sure whether it is an overdose for me. Stopped the medication on the sixth day as I could not handle it. I still have metallic taste and loss of appetite five days after stopping the medication. I only hope there are other medications to treat parasites! | F | 61 | 6 days | 12/2/2009 | 4 | BV | Fuzzy tongue, scratchy throat, blurred vision, moodiness, disorientation, loose bowel. Heart racing the 1st night, but gone now. Headachy & now a runny nose like a cold. Tingly fingertips & toes. | Do not let it touch your tongue, it's the nastiest thing in the world. I hate taking it. It's clearing/ed up my symptoms, but I'm glad I found this site too, because too much is going on, and I thought I was catching the flu. | F | 31 | 7 days | 11/30/2009 | 4 | Dog bite | Dizziness and fatigue | I gave this a "4" but I also was given two intravenous anti-biotics in a hospital emergency room and if those did 100% of the work then I'd give this a "2". | M | 58 | 10 days | 11/29/2009 | 1 | Dental problems | Felt sick, headaches, lethargic, unable to sleep. Horrible taste. Even suicidal thoughts in the first couple of days. Was on 400mg 3 times a day for 5 days. So glad they are finished. Day after they were finished ended up back at the dentists for two fillings anyway, so if you don't need to take them don't. | F | 48 | 5 days | 11/28/2009 | 2 | dental infection | metallic taste, dry mouth and nasal congestion, anxiety and weepy, first day also extremely tired and disorientated | don't think its doing much for the dental infection, on day 3 of 5 | F | 62 | 3 days | 11/27/2009 | 1 | After tooth extraction - infection | Incredible headache, flu like symptons. Aching legs and arms. Famished then off of food. Could sleep for England. Terribly emotional, moody and depressed. Didnt want to drive. Thought I was going mad!! Very glad I checked this site, sitting here in tears - relieved!! | I would not recommend anyone taking this unless they are extremely fit and well. I thought I was, made me feel awful. I only managed 5 days out of my prescribed 7, my head would have exploded if I'd taken anymore. BEWARE!!!!! | F | 42 | 5 days | 11/27/2009 | 3 | bv | slight nausea, 2 days into taking this med tired alot and ithy | taking twice a day for 7 days every 12 hours is this a normal time spacing | F | 22 | 7 days | 11/26/2009 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | NAUSEA, DIARRHEA, and metallic taste in mouth. Anal bleeding (maybe from fissure) caused by the constant diarrhea that came from taking this antibiotic. | I will NEVER take this again. It is hard to take because of the nasty taste, and I had diarrhea the entire 2 weeks of taking it, which caused me to have anal bleeding at the end of the 2 weeks. I think the constant diarrhea caused an anal fissure or something, not sure. It is not fun. | F | 27 | 14 days | 11/25/2009 | 4 | Throat Infection and Tosillitis | Lethargy....could sleep all day and night. Very hyper and lively guy, now flat, no energy. Smooth tongue, not eating much, horrible diahoria and vey smelly. Dark urine. mild nausea, loss of apetite, mild weight loss.. Pale. occasional 5 mins sweats. On a 10 day course combined with Penecillin following a hospital admission for Severe Throat infec. which may have been Tonsillitis, Absys, Quinsy, Glandular Fever....inconclusive. | If they sort out my problem, the sife effects may be worth it, is the dissapate quickly....but it really is not nice. | M | 40 | 10 days | 11/24/2009 | 4 | c-difficile infection | Nausea, tiredness, restlessness which makes me clinch and grind my teeth, toward the end of the day my knees just feel like they are giving way. | I contracted c-diff after taking clindamycin and amoxicillin prior and after a root canal. I would never again accept clindamycin as an antibiotic. It is one of the prime antiiotics that set your colon up for c-difficile toxins to take over. Flagyl I hope is going to save me from more infection so I take the rotten side effects in stride. I am taking 500mg, 3 times a day. | F | 79 | 10 days | 11/23/2009 | 3 | Gum Infection | Currently day 4 of 3 x 400mg for 5 days , Very dark urine and have had BAD headache since started taking these , constantly feel sick , disturbed sleep and strange dreams , switch from being really hungry to complete lack of appetite and generally irritable - tablets also taste absolutely vile. | The infection has cleared up but would not take metronidazole again if i could avoid it ! | F | 23 | 5 days | 11/23/2009 | 3 | dental infection | I was taking 200mg three times a day, experienced headaches, tiredness, nausea and dizziness. Started to get backache after 2nd day on tablets (not sure if this is related) Also minor depression - became really quite emotional and weepy. | Not even sure if its solved the problem (problems with wisdom teeth)so really not that great a prescription | F | 21 | 5 days | 11/19/2009 | 1 | STD | Inability to stay still, EXTREME anxiety, irritability, agression, panic attacks, sensitivity to sound, compulsive thoughts of suicide, feeling like crawling out of my skin and much more. | Poison. This medicine has costed me 4 months of my life so far and I don't know how long until I recover completely. What's left is depression with crippling tiredness, small but constant eye twitches, total apathy. If any one has experienced this and found a way to get rid of it, please email me! PLEASE! | M | 24 | 7 days | 11/19/2009 | 2 | Gum infection | Cold and flu symtoms, more asthmatic, swelling of face and eyes and still got the tooth ache! These tablets did not work for me, going back for something else or tooth extraction! | They did not work for me but must work for other people or they wouldn't be on the market. I feel like my cold and swelling of the face was more traumatic than the reason why i was taking the stuff in the first place. I wont take them again. | F | 28 | 5 days | 11/16/2009 | 5 | teeth pain | lucky for me i had no side effects. apart from fur on my tounge.. | im taking 3 tables a day 400g a day the pain seems to be going so they seem to be doing the job. | F | 27 | 3 days | 11/15/2009 | 1 | Bacterial Infection | Headache/Migraine, Nausea, Dissorientation | NEVER, EVER will i touch these again i felt like i was dying for nearly a week by the 6th day i couldnt take anymore... The pain in my head was unbearable.. I couldnt do anything or take anything to shift it!!! You forget simple things... Like you have lost your mind, It's mad!! (Pardon the pun) Its just a shame i didnt realise it or find this site 'til near the end of 'treatment' | F | 25 | 7 days | 11/14/2009 |
