| 3 | BV | an overall sense of being hungover or the start of the flu. 2 days in i felt fine.. then it tasted like i have been sucking on aspirin for 3 days.. i had a headache for 2 days which has subsided(took some advil, did the trick)today didnt eat much(no appitite) running off of coffee, started feeling the tingling sensation in arms and in my legs.. along with that the disoriented feeling.. ate something and felt better. | it feels like the way codeine makes you feel minus the warm goodness...over all it seems to being doing its job .. except i think i may be getting a yeast infection now... if i can recommend anything it would be to make sure you eat and drink(no alcohol) with it. | F | 25 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 4 | BV | Metallic taste in mouth,stomach achs,change in bowel habits | I found it easiest by tilting my head back and dropping the pill to the back of my throat with water. You dont taste it if it doesnt touch your tongue! Overall the meds did work on clearing everything up. | F | 22 | 10 days | 10/7/2009 | 1 | cyst infection | extreme drowsiness, stomach cramp, stomach ache, nausea, loss of appetite, depression. | HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DRUG (even though it works). yeah, it works, but it had a disgusted taste and densitiy, which meant i had to break it into a million pieces just to get it down. horrid side effects. honestly felt like i was dying at times :( :( this is the second time i was perscribed it, and both times i felt terrible. having said all this, it did work though, and saved me from possible surgery. | F | 16 | 10 days | 10/7/2009 | 4 | BV | Nausia, mettalic taste in mouth | I would recommend the ladies who are taking this for something vaginal to really consider the cream as opposed to the pills because I had no side effects with the cream and it cleared me right up. | F | 7 days | 10/6/2009 | 1 | possible parasite infection | Strongest antibotic ever beware...constant nausea, constant headache, light-headed, Felt sick and thought that I was losing my mind. Increased heart rate, weird thoughts, night sweats and hot flashes...sounds fun huhhh | Went to the ER a few times cause I was sure that I was dying...I have never felf this way before - but you'll be suprised to hear that this is not due to side effects rather than HERXHEIMER REACTION (look it up) just found this out today after being off the meds for 5 days. Just a little sleepy now but feel a million times better. So all in all 2 ER trips 1 Urgent care visit and 1 doctors visit I know whats wrong (not because of them) | M | 26 | 3.5 days | 10/6/2009 | 1 | BV/infection prevention | dizziness, numbness in hands/feet/legs/arms/face, out of body experiences, shoulder pain, mental fogginess, forgetfulness, panic/anxiety, paranoia, problems sleeping, fatigue, blurry vision, problems chewing, choking, clumsiness, furry tongue, twisting feeling/weakness in my hands and wobbly legs. | I HATE this drug. I was given it through an IV during surgery on my ovaries and was not warned of the side effects. When I woke up I felt like I was pulling myself from the brink of death (so scary!) I was so sick that I thought something went wrong during my surgery until I realized it was this drug causing all my symptoms. I took the drug twice a day at 500 mg for 5 days. Like a lot of other people I had to make a trip to the ER to make sure that I was going go live. I'm still feeling effects of this medication 4 days after stopping it. I feel like a zombie.. or like I'm on some sort of bad acid trip. I don't know where I am half the time, my hands are numb and I'm so dizzy. When do these feelings go away?? Don't ever take it! | F | 22 | 5 days | 10/4/2009 | 4 | BV | I took the 7 day course, 400mg x 3 a day. I had nausea, confusion, trembling, very thirsty, vomitting, tingling down my legs, numbness, foggy head, very teary, depression, lack of interest in everything, by day 6 I felt extremly off balance and weak. | Although it has helped to clear up my infection, I work not recommend it due to the very bad side effects, I thought my world was over while taking it, I was working offshore while taking it and it made my life hell. I am glad its helped but if you can get a week in bed just for this medicine do it as it helped me otherwise do not take it if you intend on being active and having to think a lot because it knocks you to bits. | F | 24 | 7 days | 10/1/2009 | 1 | diverticulitis | After the first pill, I could taste this horrible sour/metallic taste in my mouth. By the 4th pill, I can barely swallow. My throat has yellow patches like if I have a throat infection. Lost of appetite and cannot sleep. | I've also been prescribed CIPROFLOXACIN 500mg. I took them at different times. I reacted right away to the Metronidazole. | F | 50 | 1 days | 10/1/2009 | 5 | Gum Infection | This is the first time I have taken this anti biotic which was prescribed by my dentist. No side effects were mentioned when he gave me the prescription and nothing mentioned at pharmacy. I am taking 3 x 400mg per day for 5 days. Day 1 - Chalky taste in mouth Day 2 - Metallic taste in mouth which doesnt go away. Almost like sucking on a 2p piece. Very dark urine Day 3 Dark urine, metallic taste in mouth, depressed, teary. Day 4 - Metallic taste in mouth, dark urine, tearful, confused/foggy and diziness, nausea Day 5 Furry mouth, dark urine, nausea, dizziness/confused, loose stools I have two tablets left to take thank god! My advice would be to take with food - drink plenty of fluids and remember the side effects wont last forever. Rather short term pain for long term gain. | F | 39 | 5 days | 9/29/2009 | 3 | BV | NAUSEA! Dry mouth, dizziness, fatigue, onset of panic and anxiety | I took the 500mg twice a day for 7 days. I finished 2 days ago and since then have had really really bad nausea. So much so I had to leave work early. During the week I took it, it wasn't as bad. I did have minor side effects as listed but nothing as bad as after I stopped. I also developed a white tongue. This may be a sign of yeast due to killing good bacteria. I'm heading to doctor tomorrow to check. I was smart and drank no alcohol but this nausea after is awful. | F | 24 | 7 days | 9/29/2009 | 2 | BV | #1-HORRIBLE TASTE, Lethargy, Dizziness, Nausea, Loose stools, Abdominal Cramps | RX: 500mg twice daily for 7 days. On the 6th day my husband recommended covering the tablet with honey to disguise the taste and it worked wonders! I was not able to taste the pill AT ALL. Too bad he didn't tell me this before. Instructions: place some honey in a spoon, drop the pill in the puddle of honey, & then drizzle some more honey to completely cover the pill. Place the spoon upside down in your mouth and scrape w/ your tongue & swallow (makes it really smooth, don't even need water) I hope this helps :D | F | 28 | 7 days | 9/29/2009 | 5 | uti and prostatitis | Exhaustion leading to sleeping 14 hour a day. Low back pain around waist. Some metallic taste. Reduced appetite but wish it had been more. Lack of focus and weird feelings. | Because I know about drugs, I figured out not do alcohol at all but did not get sufficient warning on this. But the drug really did cure my problem and I am very grateful. | M | 73 | 7 days | 9/27/2009 | 5 | bv | really none. | I'm the 46 year old who took the one day dose. All cleared up! No side effects, just a slight head-ache. I would take it again if needed. I have been in a monogamous relationship for over twenty years. My bv was brought on by over use of perfumed soaps, not by changing partners. Fired the idiot dr. who dosnt now jack squat about bv. Go to a health food store and buy products to ward off this bacteria. Use Rephresh, it's used in the UK for bv. Just my 2 cents. | F | 46 | 1 days | 9/26/2009 | 4 | vagina bacteria | Well today is only my first day, taken 2 pills so far and not ONE side effect THANK GOD!!!!! noone please jinx me LOL but I feel great other than a little warm feel like im getting a cold maybe but none of those crazy side effects yayyy!!!!! | F | 1 days | 9/26/2009 | 4 | 500mgx7 days - EXTREME insomnia, lightning bolt headaches, nausea, dry mouth, no appetite, mood swings. | Hope it is killing the bacteria but hope it's not killing other things in my body! Cannot imagine what's happening to those taking 2000mg! | F | 38 | | 9/25/2009 | 5 | bv | Took single dose of medication,2000mg 2 hours ago. Only thing I feel is pressure in my head. Other than that, I'm fine. I think some here are not taking it with food, plenty of water. Just chug the pills down, with water and a banana. | I really hope the single dose works. I'll let you know in a week. So now I'm on probotics, plain yogurt,organic cranberry juice, and no more fragrant soaps! I also started to use Rephresh, my kitty is feeling much better. | F | 46 | 1 days | 9/22/2009 | 4 | BV | Severe Nausea, bad metallic taste in mouth, back of throat felt funny, anything I ate or drink had a bad after taste, mood swings, didn't want to be bothered because I was suffering from upper stomach pain, discomfort and nausea. I was just sick to my stomach and at times I felt feverish like I was having HOT flashes around my head. | I had to take this treatment 4 months ago because of recurrent BV due to my pH balance being off with my low immune system and it wasn't as bad as this time. I will do a vaginal cream or some other med next time. This was just intolerable and I felt miserable with the side effects. I had to force my self to finish the last pill because of course the BV symptoms were gone. I finished 2 days ago and still having side effects. However, in conclusion the drug did work it's main purpose! | F | 39 | 7 days | 9/21/2009 | 1 | Gum Infection | I suffered a stroke 3 months ago and the side effects of taking metronidazole made me feel as if I was about to have another one! Dizzy, wobbly, lethargic, depressed, weepy. Blood pressure up pulse rate down. Headaches, feeling like waves going through my head and total anxiety. Also tingling in the hands and a bit in the feet. Did not feel nauseaus or suffer diarrhea though. | I would not take this drug again! I was not warned about any of these side effects and there was no leaflet in the packet. The only thing the dentist and the pharmacist said was not to take alchohol with them. The same is said for any antibiotic. | F | 55 | 3 days | 9/18/2009 | 5 | Vaginal infection | Almost none: strange taste (not metallic) in mouth, but mild, darker urine. | It's hard to believe all the negative comments. Maybe some others are taking with other meds? I'm usually very sensitive to any medications, but this proved to be no problem at all, taking 500mg, twice/day for 7 days. | F | 50 | 7 days | 9/17/2009 | 1 | Mouth bacteria | Had to take 500mg 3 times a day for 7 days. The first days I was very tired and dizzy. On day 4 the real problems began. Headaches, dizziness and worst of all a panic attack. On day 5 I could not take it anymore and stopped. Now 2 weeks later i still have physical conditions i am not used to, pain in the muscles of my legs, pain in my thumb, headaches, a slightly inflamed eye and most worrisome pain in my liver. Still tired too. | I read there are alternative drugs for mouth bacteria, do that instead of this. Avoid this drug anyway if there is an alternative. This is not a penicillin like drug, this is real heavy, i will NEVER take METRONIDAZOLE again. | M | 46 | 4 days | 9/17/2009 |
