| 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 | 1 | BV | Horrible hives itching and tingling. Stopped taking it 3 days ago and I am still getting hives. My skin is so itchy and it looks horrible! I am also going crazy!! | Don't take this drug! The BV will grow back!! | F | 3 days | 11/12/2008 | 4 | parasite/blastocysts | dark urine, exhaustion,difficulty getting restful sleep, dizziness and stomach ache about an hour after taking it | It had some side effects, but it worked very well to get rid of the parasite and blastocysts. Side effects were much better than my original symptoms. | F | 26 | 10 days | 11/9/2008 | 1 | abcess under tooth | total fatigue, bloatedness, constipation could cope with but then orange rash on both arms, swollen and painful fingers, the start of a rash on my face and very swollen ankles and a rash starting on both legs. | never stopped a drug before but cannot continue with this. Am allergic to penycyllin but had nothing like this reaction! never again - beware | F | 55 | 3 days | 11/8/2008 | 4 | Anaerobic G.U.M Infection | Mild groggy tiredness and weakness which worried me until I realised it must be a side-effect of this medecine rather than the infection. Know that I will feel A1 when the course ends in 5 days and takes the infection with it. | Can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Think how lucky you are to live in an age when infections can be treated so easily. Can't believe some of these whining saps. If you have a furry tongue use a tongue scaper and some dilute hydrogen peroxide mouthwash and some Hexylresorcinol pastilles (blackcurrant from Tesco). If you get digestive upset start eating muesli with bio-active yoghurt and if you don't like the taste for god's sake learn to swallow without chewing like a normal grown-up. Jeez what a pathetic infantilised society. Thank God I'm not a doctor I couldn't stand dealing with the terminally pathetic and their trivial whinging. | M | 45 | 7 days | 11/6/2008 | 4 | Gum Infection | 250mg 3X day. Day three brought nausea and mild cramping but no vomiting. Easily managed by keeping something in stomach at all times and eating just before sleeping. Lots of yogurt and cereal. Day 5 nausea replaced by loose stools and gas. Day 7 loose stools and gas easing but headache begins and mild pre-existing tinnitis worsens intermittently. Did have the water goggle vision but only briefly. Four days left. | I took this drug for the first time about a year ago. 500mg 2X day for two weeks. I had absolutely no side effects and it worked like a charm. This time Is so different I am taken completely by surprise. Even though I would have to think hard before taking this again my symptoms are not nearly as severe as some and it is working. | F | 41 | 8 days | 11/5/2008 | 3 | Tooth Infection | Anxiety, depressive state, unmotivated, clouded thought, darkened urine, diarrhoea & loss of interest in hobbies. | I was perscribed 400mg three times a day. The drug does work as it did get rid of my tooth infection and also some patches of dermitits on my body have reduced. But. First day I noticed my urine darken and had a diarrhoea. After the third day I woke up feeling anxious about everything. I may not carry on taking the drug due to the mental state it gives after a while. | M | 28 | 3 days | 11/5/2008 | 2 | BV----now I think I have IC | I had taken this for suspected BV,first a 7 day course 500x3 times a day, still had the symptoms so got a 10 day course same amount.....ugh all I can say is Ive been off it a week and still have that awful taste, white furry tounge and seem to be felling more anxious than usually. How long will this nasty taste last? It must stay in youre system for awhile cause, my tounge is just nasty, every thing taste gross...this stuff is vile. I still have peeing problems so my dr thinks it could be IC....look into that if you have bladder problems. | I'll never take this stuff again | F | 28 | 17 weeks | 11/1/2008 | 3 | wisdom tooth infection | Nausea, headache, furry tongue, horrible taste in my mouth, tiredness and flu like symptoms, i was made aware that alcohol should not be used during treatment and for at least 3 days after to prevent vomiting. | although infection cleared up the side effects were awful, i have finished my course now soo i will see how i get on. | F | 35 | 5 days | 10/31/2008 | 4 | Infected , diabetic foot ulser | NO appetite at all, nightmares, dark urine, constipation, nausia, Nasty tasting pill, dizzy spells, headache and confusion | Complete loss of appetite, not good when your diabetic. All the other side effects were minimal however unpleasant | F | 37 | 1 months | 10/28/2008 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | I went mental. | It is possible that it was the pint I had earlier in the day, before taking the medication. So I would advise against that. But the smell has gone. Hurray! | F | 25 | 1 days | 10/27/2008 | 1 | BV | Headaches, dizziness, excessive hunger, tiredness, drowsiness, stomach ache, dry mouth, insomnia, metallic taste in mouth, lower abdominal cramps, feeling spaced out, forgetful, extremely depressed, really bad mood swings, inability to focus, felt paranoid at times, felt like I was going insane at one point. | I have taken Flagyl a few times (maybe 3 or 4) and it has the same effect on me every time. Its the worst drug I have EVER taken, it caused me to EAT a LOT more than I used to (some people that have taken Flagyl say they lose their appettite after being on this med), but for me it has the opposite effect, possibly because the taste is just so UNBEARABLE I try to cover it up by eating more food. Since I have been on it, I experienced extreme depression, I have just wanted to disappear. It does something to your brain and It makes you feel like you are slowly going crazy. At work, I could not focus at all, at home I would just sit and stare at the walls feeling extremely lazy. When I have conversations, I forget what I was saying in the middle of a sentence. Its a horrible drug. I hope they would come out with something else for this. I just feel bad for the people who take this so they can get better, but instead, have to go through the side effects of this medication. | F | 22 | 7 days | 10/27/2008 | 1 | colitis | After one day started having weird dreams, when I could finally fall asleep. Mild headache 1st day, 2nd day after two doses, headaches were worse. | Would not ever take this medicine again especially after reading others experiences. | M | 36 | 2 days | 10/26/2008 | 2 | yes | dry mouth, dizzyness, very very tired - i would have to have a nap in the day. Very spaced out and shakey especially one hour after taking the pill! | It tastes horrible and you need plenty of water ahen you take it because it dries your mouth out | F | 22 | 7 days | 10/16/2008 | 1 | BV | Migraines, anxiety, depression, dermatographia. It did treat the BV but I would never take this drug again. I can't believe it is on the market. | I have taken Flagyl a few times, maybe 3 or 4. The third time after I took it I noticed severe itching and some hives. I went to my dermatologist and he gave me a shot of prednisone. Symptoms disappeared. I took it again 5 months later because of another BV infection. This time the symptoms have been terrible. I have acquired dermatographia which I know is an allergic reaction to Flagyl. The symptoms are uncontrollable itching, raised welts, and some hives all over (even in the scalp and other areas). I am now seeing a second dermatologist and he has put me on Clarinex and Hydroxzine. I'm glad he took me off Prednisone b/c that has a whole other list of side effects.I'm also taking acidophilus in order to prevent another episode of BV. This is a very strong drug. It's been almost 3 weeks now ( I was only on it for 7 days) and I'm still dealing with the side effects. | F | 42 | 7 days | 10/13/2008 | 1 | Wisdom Tooth Infection | Horrific metallic taste in mouth, depression, lower back pain, discoloured urine, anxiety, rising panic, wet mouth with excess saliva, lethargy, bizarre dreams, sore eyes. | I've been on 3x500mg a day for only two days so far and I feel absolutely horrible. Mouth pain is just as bad as it was before I started the course (I've wondered several times if it's working at all) and I still have 3 days to go. I'm determined to finish the course as I badly want to recover, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will never take this medication again. I feel tired, weepy, sore, filled with anxiety and bordering on mania at times. I stayed quiet about these symptoms as I didn't want to come across as melodramatic, but after finding this site I can see I'm not alone. | F | 26 | 2 days | 10/10/2008 | 4 | Suspected gastroenteritis | At the time I had no side affects while taking flagyl twice a day for seven days. However 4 weeks after finishing the medication I am being tested for lactose intolerance (which I did not have before) and has been linked to flagyl because my doctor cannot find any other explaination | F | 24 | 7 days | 10/3/2008 |
