| 2 | Gum infection | I have been feeling so exhausted that cant keep eyes open during the day when i usually have tonnes of energy, trouble focussing on reading and a strange tingling and numbness around my mouth. Contemplating stopping them because this is my 3rd day of only 5 and no improvment with infection. surely there are other antibiotics that will work. No one told me you could not drink for 3 days after stopping tablets either. | F | 40 | 5 days | 12/20/2008 | 1 | abcess wisdom tooth | as others have mentioned plus blurred vision tiredness very short temper confusion and irritable. | this drug made me think i was dying seriously thought about going to see my gp until i looked up this site and found all of us suffering from this toxic waste ive still got 4 days to go | M | 28 | 7 days | 12/19/2008 | 5 | root canal infection in gum | I picked up the medication from the Chemist and was specifically told NO alcohol. Initially I didn't think there were any side-effects as I previously had an adverse reaction to penicillin and I was very pleased with how quickly it worked. However, after about 4 days, I began to loose co-ordination and couldn't pick things up. Then, a violent verbal outburst at my husband which came from no-where, just because he came into my study. I am normally very peaceful. Dark urine and thirsty. Slightly dizzy and co-ordination problems around day 3. Cold chills day 5 and running to the toilet. Glad the course has finished, (last night), and I won't drink until Christmas! | It worked really well, difficult to swollow, tastes disgusting, I am glad it's over! | F | 48 | 5 days | 12/17/2008 | 3 | BV | Extreme Hot Flashes, Severe Mood Swings, Loss of Mental Clarity, Dry-Mouth, Nauseous, Diarrhea, Dizzy Spells, and Trouble Sleeping. | I am still currently taking this medication and on day 5 of 7, twice a day at 500 mg. Although the medication seems to be working I have noticed my extreme emotional state and complete irrational behavior. The hot flashes are beyond ridiculous to the point I'm using icepacks to cool myself down. I have tried falling asleep for the past several hours only to be confronted by the complete lack of ability to sleep, this is not my first restless night on this med. When mobile I am dizzy every 20 minutes and if I'm not being assaulted by Hot Flashes, I am then being attacked by severe diarrhea. Altogether, if you can find an alternative medication to this one I would recommend it. I am walking around in a daze only to be pulled back to reality by one of its disgustingly strong side effects, thank god only 2 more days. Im rating this medication a 3 b.c. it appears to be working but otherwise I would rate it a 1! | M | 25 | 7 days | 12/16/2008 | 1 | Suspected Bv | Highly emotional and Highly strung. Tense & Tearful | When My GP said I'd feel suicidal he wasnt joking! I cried for days on end at everything from supernanny to missing the bus for work.Im down to my last three tablets and at a dose of 3x400mg a day I'll be glad to see the back of them.Ive had BV before and would rememer feeling this low and upset, so I know I've never used this drug before! | F | 28 | 7 days | 12/16/2008 | 3 | to control PH level | nauseas, vomiting, shaking, the worst migraine of my life, dizziness | i think this drug has cleared my infection great and very quick but the side effects were terrible, i felt close to passing out and i have never been in so much pain | F | 21 | 5 days | 12/13/2008 | 3 | giardia | Shaking, nausea, diarrhea, mental fog, chills, lightheadedness, bad taste. | I am on 500 mg for 7 days, 3x a day. The second day I became so lightheaded, nauseous, and shaky that I almost passed out. I was scared, and had to leave work - I've never felt like that before and didn't know to expect it as a side effect. The third day I was still shaky and feeling weird, but it wasn't as bad. The fourth day I was in a fog all day, confused and forgetful. Today I am nauseous and exhausted but not as dizzy. Hopefully it will get better as the days go on. | F | 28 | 5 days | 12/9/2008 | 4 | BV | made me sleepy a few hours after taking it, headaches 2nd and 3rd day, little nausea 1st day, yeast infection(already had one though, so no biggie)most awful taste ever i think!!!!! | dose was 2x a day for 7 days. take it with food, and i have a weak stomach so it wasnt as bad as i have read. would take it again if i had to. but lets hope not!! wish it didnt taste so bad. but take it down as fast as you can and you only get a little of the taste. it did its job it worked quite quickly though i would say by the 2nd night my bv symtoms were gone. still had the yeast infection but i have a diflucan for that. so we will see how everything goes! | F | 24 | | 12/7/2008 | 2 | Gum Infection | I looked up possible side effects because I didnt feel like this before I started taking it and found this website, I was told no acohol but thats all by the dentist. Tingling horrible sensation at the back of my head, diaorrha and depression. Still hurts in my gum on day 5 which is my last day. Gave the very final pill a miss because after all this I need a drink! | Never taken a antibiotic or any pill before where I experienced side effects. Try an alternative if there is one. | F | 36 | 5 days | 12/5/2008 | 2 | Suspected BV | Nausea, Vomiting, Headaches, Lethargy, Shivering, Strange dreams, Waking up in the night, Generally feeling down (this could be due to other symptoms) | After the second day of taking this medication I was terribly sick. My doctor cut my dose down by half and the vomiting has stopped however the nausea is still there. I am finding it hard to eat and to continue with my everyday life. So far all my BV symptoms have gone but I really hope it continues after I stop the medication. | F | 26 | 4 days | 12/4/2008 | 1 | Tooth infection | The drug seemed to work well in getting rid of the infection around my wisdom teeth but the side-effects are terrible. Persistant diahorria, nausea, total loss of appetite, inability to sleep, anxiety and panic, dark thoughts. | I always get side effects of tummy upset when taking anti-biotics (I get IBS) but this was the worst ever. The anxiety is terrible and all the side-effects have lasted now 10 days after taking the medication. Am now on anti-anxiety tablets and Motillium for my stomach. I'm forced to work from home and I've lost 6 kilos already and feel rather down-in-the-mouth. | F | 34 | 5 days | 12/4/2008 | 5 | BV | Felt slightly dizzy once or twice, other than that no problem! | Recommend taking with food. | F | 23 | 7 days | 12/3/2008 | 3 | Gum infection and abscess | I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stomach ache. Unable to sleep, I did a google search to see if this was a side effect of the drug and was glad to find that I was not alone in my experience. | I'm taking it with amoxicillin, so it of course it might be the combination which is causing the problem. I've had amoxicillin before with no problems so I don't think it's this drug. | F | 60 | 1 days | 11/26/2008 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, body aches, nightmares, numbness, some rash, sciatic pain and tingling down my entire right leg that has not completely gone away 1 week later, white tongue, yeast infection. The pain appeared on the 3rd day, in the peri-anal area and progressed down my leg to my foot over the next two days. I stopped taking it completely on the 5th day of the 7 day treatment. I was on 500 mg 2x/day. | It's not worth the potential problems, there have to be a different drug to treat the infections metro usually treats. | F | 31 | 5 days | 11/25/2008 | 1 | BV | Head aches, Abdominal Pain, Lower back pain, Burning during urination, Yeast infection, nausea, and fatigue. | I would never take this medication again, this made me feel absolutely horrible. I couldnt finish taking my whole dosage and three days after stopping im still suffering from these side affects!! Is there anything i can do to hurry this along? | F | 18 | 7 days | 11/23/2008 | 4 | Possible BV | Fever, extreme tiredness but being unable to fall asleep, anxiety in the form of constant movement and teeth clenching, nausea on the first day, headache, weakness | is clearing up infection, but i feel terrible. All side effects are worse at night though. Luckily i was warned of side effects by my doctor and pharmacist before taking the drug so i was aware this may happen. | F | 21 | 7 days | 11/22/2008 | 5 | Gum infection | None whatsoever :o) | Taking 2 one day and 3 the next (200g) cleared up my gum infection immediately. Very effective. Great because my dentist advised that 2 days were sufficient unlike usual antibiotics which usually require a course of 5-10 days. | F | 45 | 2 days | 11/20/2008 | 5 | BV | I felt nauseous the first day, about two hours after taking the first pill and never experienced any more side effects. It did taste awful but the taste didn't last long at all. Drinking something after it made the bitter taste go away instantly. | I've read all these horror stories about it and I felt absolutely fine the whole time. I guess I got lucky??? It did, however, interfere with my social life since I was strongly urged by both my doctor and the pharmicist not to drink any alcohol on it, which I complied with. Postponing two weekends worth of fun was worth not "projectile vomitting for days," as my pharmacist poetically put it. I took 500 mg 2x's a day for 7 days. | F | 21 | 7 days | 11/14/2008 | 2 | BV | Nasty metallic taste, constant nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach discomfort, irriated skin & skin sensitivity, randomly sporatic bouts of appetite loss, trouble focusing at work (due in large part to the other symptoms), sleep issues (trouble getting to sleep, trouble staying asleep, but no trouble waking up the next morning), and to sum it up I felt miserable throughout the duration of this medication. | The first night my body could not communicate with my mind that I needed to go to the bathroom while asleep. Here I am a grown woman and I found myself waking up to a wet bed! I was mortified, but knew that under normal circumsances that would not of happened. Every night following that incident, I took extra precautions to prevent an accident and yet I still experienced some odd sleep-related event. Nightmares & cold sweats seemed to be the norm for seven days, for me. It was strange in that I would have a nightmare, but could not recall it to save my life. Also, do NOT mix this medication with anything! I developed a headache at work and ingested three regular-strength Tylenol that morning. By the afternoon, I was vomiting so bad it hurt. When I wasn't vomiting, I was nauseated and wished that I could regurgitate so I could just feel better. The taste of this medicine is the worst you'll ever experience. Nothing I took helped. Either way, I tasted it. However, eating barbeque pot | F | 26 | 7 days | 11/13/2008 | 1 | Diverticulosis | Worst thing I've ever taken. Just finished my 10 day perscription along with Cypro. Initially, mild headache/nausea. Later, depression, listlessness, wobbly, head-in-the-clouds, diahrea, bloating and mood swings. Now, the following day after completing my perscription, I can add white tongue to the list. | I'll follow up with the outcome of the diverticulosis. How long should it take for the side effects to wear off? | M | 48 | 10 days | 11/12/2008 |
