 3  BV My side effects are depression, dizzines, fatigue and very quick temper. I am so tired of taking this medicine...My doctor keeps giving perscribing it to me and the crap keeps coming back...The gel doesn't work either. The only thing that I have had that works is the 4 pills at one time. F 29 7 days

 1  Post Medical Termination (precautio Constantly feel sick after around 30 mins of taking 400mg tablet, extremely lathargic and drowsy, look really ill, have a lot of gas coming up from stomach (into mouth!lol). Headache, dizziness-similar to the feeling you get before a seizure if anyone's had that experience? I wouldnt recommend this tablet to anyone. I'm taking it as a precautionary measure by hospital following a medical termination. Apparently it's given to treat clamydia (cant spell!) so everyone who has a termination or miscarriage has to take them to avoid infection in the womb. I would rather get an infection and treat it than take these med's and feel this bad. F 23 4 days

 4  Tooth Infection Haven't any side effects from taking this, actually had my first night of real sleep last night and I suspect this drug is finally starting to fight the infection as Penecillin didn't help I like it, don't notice any of the side effects mentioned by other people here, I was warned of them but I feel fine, other than a sore tooth which does seem to be better today. Would definitly take them again M 34 2 days

 1  BV I was prescribed 2g of this drug in one dose. The only warning I had from my doctor was not to drink for 24 hours. I took it before going to bed had a restless sleep. When I woke up I experienced extreme headache behind left eye, numbness, weakness and tingling in left face and arm, depression, anxiety, nausea, projectile vomiting, extreme loss of appetite. It has been gradually improving over the course of the day, but if I knew this would be the side effect I would not have taken it as my BV symptoms are very mild. I felt like a cross between having a stroke and a bad trip from narcotics...or at least what I imagine these things would feel like. I was not experiencing a placebo effect as my medication did not come with any information so I had no idea what side effects may occur. I have also never experienced side effects from any medication before in my entire life and I have taken a lot of medication! F 26 1 days

 1  BV I had a dull headache during the seven day course of treatment. Depression occurred on the second day and did not subside. I woke with extreme panic and anxiety. This drug should come with a warning for people with a history of panic disorder and/or depression. I had not had a panic attack in 10 years and this drug was the direct cause of a relapse. F 50 7 days

 1  tooth infection severe stomach cramps, pain on my right side, crippling headaches, metallic taste in my mouth, neck pains and a general feeling of having been poisoned. This drug should be investigated, i have never felt so bad through taking a medicine, i really wondered what the f**k was happening to me, i was given a 7 day course of 3×400mg tablets, unfortunately i have taken 3 days worth before i found this site. Beware! M 3 days

 1  Absess and broken wisdom tooth Pretty much everything that has been mentioned above, including not being able to eat over the last week without vomiting, unable to sleep, stomach cramps, very short temper, server lower back pain. This should be banned straight away in my opinion, since taking metronidazole I have had numerous visits to the doctors who advised me to stop taking it straight away and today I have had to go for blood tests to see if it has caused possible kidney damage as I have turned a slight shade of yellow. I have also lost roughly 2 stone whilst taking these as they have made me so poorly. M 28 4 days

 1  BV I'm so glad I found this site and that others also had so many bad side effects because I thought I was going CRAZY! My side effects included Loss of Appetite, Loss of Weight, Nasty White Furry Tongue, Rapid Heartbeat(even went to ER at 5am) headaches, insomnia, felt weak and depressed. Just laid in bed. One more day and I'm off! F 21 7 days

 3  Bacterial Vaiginosis Bad lower abdominal pain, then upper abdominal pain mainly. Some headaches but not too bad really. Couldn't sleep on day one but seem to be ok now with sleeping. No loss of apetite though - shame! F 25 3 days

 3  PID First day of taking them I suffered from extreme dizziness and restlessness, couldn't sleep and had an extremely fast heart beat. After taking them twice a day for forteen days I slept for 36 hours in 2 days despite having revision to do for exams. Since then I have suffered from a sore throat, a furry tongue, dizziness, headaches and just general tiredness, I am finding it very hard to do anything. It did clear up my symptoms although my doctors were very little help. They seemed to be very prejudice because of the infection I was being treated for and they did not seem to recognise any of the side affects of the drug. It wasn't until I found this website that I realised they were the side affects of the medicine and not just another illness I had contracted. F 17 14 days

 3  some infection in my intestines im very tired (but i also have mono and some sort of endectocrine disorder, probably thyroid) but i can't sleep, i also have terrible mostly lower abdominal pain centered an inch or two right from my hip bone. i lost my appetite, my taste is off, and swallowing the medicine is HORRIBLE. i have a very dark smelly urine, and i think theres pus in it (YET ANOTHER reason to see my doctor) i have other symptoms but i doubt theyre worth mentioning because i have horomone problems (probably thyroid) and mono and ive had these symptoms before i started taking the medicine. at least it did the job. I CAN EAT DAIRY NOW!!!! there really are worse medicines, so im glad i didnt have to take one of those i said htat i probably have thyroid, my immune system is, in fact, attacking my thyroid, but barely. still, i have VERY STRONG symptoms for advanced hashimoto's disease.. this is odd and it makes no sence but that it why i said that i probably have thyroid. just to clear that up. i had to take one tablet two times a day. F 15 14 days
