| 3 | Gum infection | I'm taking this drug for a gum infection from tooth extraction. The first day I was fine, but the second day I suddenly became dithery and my legs were like jelly, I had no energy, just like when your sugar levels drop, I feel very anxious and irritible, not pleasant, my sense of smell is alot stronger, everything smells bad, I washed my hair and I thought I was smelling like dog pooh!! Im not in as much pain but my gum is sore on the surface, I will probibly see it through, I'm on my 3rd day tomorrow, I dont think I would take them again, but sometimes we have to put up with certain side effecte to get better!!! | Can't wait to finish them and to feel better again as whilst you're taking these you can feel quite ill so you're not going to know if they've worked till you stop them. | F | 44 | 5 days | 2/25/2009 | 2 | Vaginal infection | I have been taking it for 4 days now, and despites experiencing some physical side effects like feeling extremely sick all the time, having a numb feeling in my mouth and a horrible metally taste, being very tired, I feel emotionally very weird and horrible. I feel like I can't think clearly. I'm extremely irritable, anxious, feel very desperate and have been crying a lot. I feel really low and over-sensitive and I even started arguing very badly with my boyfriend for no reason. I can't wait for the day when this treatment will be finished! | F | 25 | 7 days | 2/24/2009 | 2 | gum infection | wewe is brown, sleeping all time, backache,massive headache, stomache | 2nd time in a month taking this 'drug' did think i was going mad as didn't read about my side effects on leaflet so happy 2 know i'm not alone with these side effects cause that's what they are. | F | 40 | 4 days | 2/24/2009 | 2 | Gum Infection | on day 3 of 5, taking 400mgx3 and having the mother of all headaches. Day 2 I was falling asleep all day which in a way was a blessing because my gums hurt so much. Today though my head feels as if its being crushed from all sides, I feel as if I have a really bad hangover paired up with a bad case of flu and still have sore gums | I was so pleased when I found this site. I really thought my gum infection had spread to my head. Strange to say but I'm so glad others are suffering too. Thankyou all | F | 45 | 5 days | 2/22/2009 | 1 | bv | headache fatigue blurred vission furry white tongue | F | 31 | 7 days | 2/20/2009 | 2 | BV | HORRIBLE taste in my mouth that won't go no matter how many sweet things I eat! Feeling low, nausea, sleepiness. The tablet is also HUGE, and I couldn't break it in half. Every time I take one, it gets stuck in my throat (EVERY TIME!) and I almost throw up. These are NASTY. | Although these tablets do what it says on the packet, they have some really nasty side affects that seem to happen a lot more regularly than what is said on the information sheet. I think maybe all of us who are complaining should write into the company and let them know - these tablets really need to be improved on!!! | F | 24 | 5 days | 2/18/2009 | 1 | diverticulitis | extreme nausea and horrible taste in my mouth. Was supposed to take it for 10 days +cipro. . | .com Went to my holistic doctor, who unfortunately was out of town last week when this all started. 1st for nausea she gave me biotin ( one of the vitamin B’s) 2 3x/day- improved dramatically within 20 minutes. 2nd she was totally surprised they had put me on Flagyl as my problem is systemic candidiasis (yeast infection) which actually gets worse with Flagyl. Also Flagyl is a known carcinogen. Don’t know if you can put websites here; but if you put Flagyl+carcinogen in Google you’ll get a whole slew of sites including rxlist. Ck out there 3rd page. She also mentioned that even if the Flagyl was killing a bad bacteria you had that you should also be put on major probioitics, especially after you’re thru with it. I was put on 3 probiotics | F | 62 | 5 days | 2/17/2009 | 3 | c diff | I am so glad I found this site, so I am adding my comments too. Nasty taste in mouth, furry tongue, feeling spaced out, depression, anxiety, I just finished and pray this goes away. I hope this helps others. | F | 52 | 10 days | 2/15/2009 | 1 | bv | The first 2 days I was a bit irritable, headachy, tired, and flushed, and had a sore throat. Day 3 and 4 added very sensitive skin and a tiny bit of tingling and numbness in my left arm, an inability to sleep much, bad dreams when I did sleep, paranoia and depression. I couldn't imagine how I'd get through the next 3 days - they just seemed insurmountable and I was crying about everything. At the end of day 4, my headache was a lot worse so I took 2 ibuprofen gel caps and as soon as they kicked in, all the other symptoms disappeared and I felt calm, positive and got a good night's sleep. It's the end of day 6 now. I'm still taking a few ibuprofen every day and apart from being tired and napping I feel okay. The paranoia before I used the ibuprofen was awful, though. I don't know if the two are connected but the change in how I felt was almost immediate. The side effects were so bizarre I don't think I'd take it again. | It did seem to clear up the problem. This website made me feel a lot better during the worst of it. I wouldn't recommend this antibiotic to anyone, though, unless there was absolutely nothing else that would work, as the mental part of the side effects were just too scary. | F | 49 | 7 days | 2/15/2009 | 1 | gum surgery | etxreme dizziness, restless, stomach cramps,depression,sore eyes,headache,unable to sleep yet totaly drowzy | would never take again due to side affects very very unpleasant was not fore warned how awful you could feel | F | 45 | 5 days | 2/15/2009 | 2 | Vaginal infection | extreme anxiety, depression, mood swings, paranoia, heightened sensitivity to smell, horrible taste, horrible body odor, chills, night sweats. I didn't notice any physical effects while taking it, though I did have a decreased appetite and didn't eat much toward the end. By the time I finished the last dose, it felt as if my entire body chemistry had changed. My sweat and urine smelled rancid, I had a fear of going near anyone and was could barely go out in public. For about 4 days afterward, I couldn't eat, sleep, was extremely paranoid, anxious, and one night practically had menopause-like symptoms with hot flashes and extreme mood swings. This stuff was like LSD. I even wound up in the ER one night because I was convinced my body was shutting down. | THIS "MEDICINE" ALMOST RUINED MY LIFE. I was prescribed this for suspected BV (though the doctor didn't even do a culture) and given an oral dose without ANY discussion about the strength or possible side effects. I should have known something was up when the pharmacy tech was like "oh, that's rough stuff." But all she warned me about was that it could upset my stomach and not to drink alcohol. I lost a week of work, spent a fortune on doctor's visits and medical tests, each time telling them that I had been on this medicine and NOT ONE brought it up as a potential cause of my distress. It wasn't until I went to a new gyno and she said something about me being so anxious that I even thought about possible emotional/mental side effects of the drug. Then I went searching on the internet and found this site and saw others had emotional issues with it as well. | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/12/2009 | 2 | bv | Bad taste, made food taste bad. I take it after meals now and this also seems to help the stomach pain, and then I can eat. I feel REALLY weird and depressed, it is nice to know that others have been made depressed by this pill and I am not losing it. | I am on day Three of a 7 day course (taking 2 500mg a day) and my symptoms of BV (smell, discharge) are still present. I hope it works as I will not be taking this medicine again. Also I indulged in some red wine last night and did not get sick, but I think it may have exacerbated my other symptoms and I also could drink a lot less than I normally could without getting very intoxicated. | F | 19 | 3 days | 2/12/2009 | 4 | C-Diff | I developed horrible pseudo membraneous colitis due to Clindamycin. So I was on Metronidazole for 14 days. The side effects was as bad as the C-diff infection. I got headache, bodyache, I was drowsy, very very tired. On the 12 days, my bodyache especially around my ribcage was so sever, I cried to my doctor see if I could stop it. I was not be able to work 8 hours a day in my office. Doctor said I could stop it if that was that bad after 10 days. I asked him about the relapse, so he then suggested that if I could take it, then finished it. I decided to finish it since the relapse treatment will be another 21 days. | If you don't need to take anti-biotic, then don't. They are harmful to yourbody. Any pill is posion. | F | 36 | 14 days | 2/5/2009 | 1 | infected gum | Flu like symptoms for 3 days,severe cramp in lower abdominal region,constipation, headache, lethagy, nausea for 6 days now I only took two tablets. | I definately will not be taking this drug again | F | 51 | 1 days | 2/5/2009 | 2 | Giardia | It varies by days. First day stomach ache. later spine ache. 3rd day fine. 4th day tires. Dreams, Dizzy.5th day can't sleep, chills, heart rate up all night. | If you take it same interval of time, you can get rid of the tomach pain. I took it 9:00 am, 3.p. and 9pm. Took probiotics and yogurt. The rest. I can't stand the chills and hot flashes. I am not looking forward to menopause | F | 38 | 10 days | 2/4/2009 | 2 | Suspected C. Diff | Severe lower back pain, Disorientation, Dizziness, Urine Discoloration, Fatigue, Foul taste in mouth, Body Ache. | This really is awful stuff, I was prescribed a 10 day dose to rid myself of c. diff, and after 10 days of not wanting to go anywhere, do anything, in amazing kidney/lower back pain due to the medication, I finally got off the stuff, felt better and relapsed and now have a 21 day course of it ahead of me. It makes you feel like you could be actually dying, worse symtoms than most of the diseases it treats. Be brave on it, its awful, but we all need what we need to get well I guess. | M | 23 | 31 days | 1/27/2009 | 1 | infected wisdom tooth | extreme dizziness,extreme fatigue nausea, only vomited twice, stomach cramps diareaha, stop taking monday night and it is now wednesday, the nausea is gone cramps are gone but still light headed and dazed, i feel like a zombie, booked into get tooth out so will never take again | I HATE IT BAD BAD DRUG, | F | 32 | 4 days | 1/27/2009 | 2 | BV | The first night I took it I couldn't sleep and then last night I couldn't sleep as well. I have severe lower back pain and tylenol will not make it go away . I had to take vicodin. I am moody and snap for no reason. I am getting anxiety attacks and i feel a little depressed as well. | I wish there was another drug to take. | F | 24 | 7 days | 1/23/2009 | 3 | BV | Firstly im extremely sleepy, i had to sleep this afternoon after gettin an early night last night also..... Time is now 9.30pm and i am shattered, i wanted to go to sleep an hour ago, but i wanted to watch something on t.v, but got side tracked here..lol,.... Besides this sleepy all the time issue, the taste in ma mouth is annoying, nothing seems to tek it away. Feeling like i need to vomit, wasnt sure if i wanted to eat this eve... Disorientated, irritalble, pissed off.... LOL, i sound pregnant....haha, im not, but ive just re read that and its just the same during my pregnancy. | So overall, im on ma 2nd day and that disgusting smell has gone, so thats good(kinda embarrassing) Yes i would take it again, but ive just established that there is a gel form rather than pill forms with much less side effect.... Im not sure if its availalbe on prescription, but i know that BOOTS sell it, it called bioavtiv cost around 10pound.... so ill be using that next time, if there is a next time!!! | F | 27 | 5 days | 1/21/2009 | 2 | BV | The second day on this medicine, I thought I was having some sort of terrible reaction. My heart was racing, I had a tight, crushing feeling in my chest, I couldn't breath, and my body was numb and limp--my poor boyfriend actually called 911. We had no idea what was happening, and neither did the paramedics. Luckily, I didn't have to go to the emergency room, but after things calmed down, I was so fortunate to find this website. I had NO idea that this many people would have the same experiences! Now I feel a little silly, but at the time, I thought that was the end of me! Glad to know what it really was. I called my doctor, and was taken off the medication. | F | 28 | 2 days | 1/21/2009 |
