| 3 | BV | I read most of the comments posted but i didn't see my side effect and is kind of worried. I took 2X/7days of the prescribed drug and besides all the negative side effect listed on this site, i am also getting a gooey spotting towards the end of this medication. I am kind of worry, don't know if it's just a drug's side effect or what? Anyone know anything about it? or experiencing the same thing? | even tho it's not fun to take this drug, however, it did help with BV... | F | 27 | 7 days | 4/14/2008 | 1 | BV | I was feeling a bit down to begin with then when I started taking these pills I felt really depressed, kept getting anxiety, very fatigued and my eyes feel like i've had no sleep for a week maybe this is due to me waking up every night and not being able to go back asleep, and have also been sweating in the night. Have only got one day to go on them but have stopped. | F | 35 | 6 days | 4/4/2008 | 4 | Recovery from root canal | Extreme tiredness (I slept 8 hrs straight the first day), light headedness & slight bit of dizziness & nausea. The metallic taste was negligible. | Don't know if it was the Metronidazole or taking it with Amoxicillin (and Hydrocodone for pain the 1st day), but the tiredness is getting very old. I stopped taking the Hydrocodone, but I still feel like its all I can do to move. I appreciate that it seems to be handling the infection well. I have very minor pain. | F | 48 | 3 days | 3/29/2008 | 3 | H Pylori | Day three - overwhelming tiredness but I can't get to sleep and when I do I wake during the night - horrible metallic taste in my mouth. Breathing difficulties and heart racing + palpitations. I also feel that my stomach problems have intensified. Awful pain in lower abdomen and in my stomach and feel really spaced out, headachy and light headed. The side effects seem to be worsening with each day that I take this drug. | I'm so glad that I found this sight as I was about to call the doctor. It's comforting to know that others have experienced similar side effects to me, but I am anxious that some peoples side effects have carried on long after they have stopped taking the drug. I just want this to end. I'm not able to say if this drug has worked as I am only on day 5 and cannot have a further test for H Pylori for another two months. | F | 49 | 7 days | 3/24/2008 | 2 | BV | fuzzy light headedness,bad upper abdominal pain ,nasty taste in the mouth with a lot of dryness, no appitite at all, so sleepy but unable to relax, feeling angry and aggressive for no reason, dark smelly urine and loose stools,and last but not least stuffiness like a cold but not a cold | I truly beleaved there was something more serious with me after taking these pills, I discarded the information leaflet that goes with, not having any side effects with previous antibiotics didn`t think I would with these, OMG was I wrong, within a few hours I was feeling angry and aggresive, by the following morning I had the stomach tightening that progressed to very nasty upper abdominal cramps, I have taken them now for 3 days and feeling worse by the day I`ve eated nothing for the last 36 hours,the thought of food makes me gag, I will take no more of these monsters, thanks to you all I now know I am not dieing | F | 49 | 3.5 days | 3/21/2008 | 3 | wisdom tooth abscess | Difficulty taking a deep breath, I feel as though I have to remember to breathe. A tight pinching sensation on the top of my nose. Difficulty sleeping yet quite lethargic. A headache I can’t shift and a feeling that I’m involuntarily scrunching up my forehead. I keep rubbing it to make sure it’s not (which makes me look bonkers in an open plan office). Very strong intolerance to smell, felt suffocated when my boyfriend cooked and I was trying to sleep. My lips feel swollen and dry but they’re not. I experienced a metallic taste on my sixth day. I’ve very thirsty yet don’t feel I can drink too much water. All in all I have no idea what’s going on.. hence why I’m on this site | I've been taking it with Amoxil, which i've used in the past. The pungent smell was torture and i'm still worried i'll forget to breathe (crazy!!!) Noticed you're not supposed to drink for 48 hours after you stop.. i know i'm not risking any more symptoms! That said my tooth abscess was probably worse... no pain, no gain. | F | 26 | 7 days | 3/6/2008 | 5 | Parasitic Infection | 700mg,3X per day for 10 days. I thought it was just me and I was being a wimp. Extremely light headed, lethargic, wild dreams, loss of appetite and weight, metalic taste. Not an easy treatment. | I find it hard to believe this drug is on the FAA's approved list. I would not pilot an aircraft while taking this medication. | M | 56 | 5 days | 3/3/2008 | 3 | suspected intestinal parasite | Depression, anxiety, sadness, hot/cold flashes, restlessness, awoke in the middle of the night with racing heartbeat. | I normally have about two emotions: Happy and Mad. On day 3 of a 7 day course of this this medication I broke down crying, unable to deal with anything. I seriously thought I was dying and/or going insane on this medication. I am SO glad I found this site and realized that other people have these same side effects. I can't comment as to whether this drug actually works because I'm still in the middle of the course of antibiotics. | M | 34 | 7 days | 3/2/2008 | 2 | PID | furry, swollen tongue, constant heartburn, decreased appetite and nausea, feeling of light headedness which affected my ability to drive | on day 9 of 10 and conting the hours.. | F | 35 | | 3/2/2008 | 4 | Infection after Widom Teeth Removal | Blurred Vision(severe) , poor concentration, Dizziness, Salty/metallic taste in mouth. | My main issue is the Blurred Vision i can not focus on anything the taste in my mouth is horrible and making me feel sick! I feel like im on something its is not a nice feeling at all, but it has helped although I did find the side effects became worse rather than better! | F | 25 | 7 days | 2/27/2008 | 3 | tooth abscess under crown | headaches, feeling like I had the flu, burning up and shivering, metallic taste in mouth. | I have been on a five day course at 200g 3 x daily. First 3 days didn't notice any side effects cos the pain was so bad but when pain wore off, well side effects kicked in big time. I have 2 days off work and have just finished the course. I still have the sweats, shivering and vague headaches and I would never ever take this drug again. Hopefully the effects go away soon. | F | 47 | 5 days | 2/26/2008 | 4 | Tooth and gum infection | Almost immediately began to feel very dizzy and disorientated,loss of appetite. in first 4/5 days needed to sleep all the time, now having trouble sleeping!! did not know that depression was a side effect but have been feeling really low and tearful especially in the mornings. | I have been taking 400mg three times a day along with 500mg of amoxicillin for 9 days am on last day today, hooray,. have never felt so crap taking an antibitic before!! am hoping side effect ease soon although not hopeful after reading some other comments.I have to say it has got rid of my infection though. i agree it tastes disgusting and i gag every time only two more tablets to go! | F | 32 | 9 days | 2/23/2008 | 1 | tooth abcess | dizzy/felt sick/felt tingling in my arms and had a stiff neck it actually feels like your going to collapse. anxiety and confusion | want to stop it but want my abcess to go | F | 23 | 3 days | 2/20/2008 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Major diarrhea after everything I ate. Dizziness, blurred vision, crabby (probably because of all the diarrhea). It felt like I was swallowing an aluminum can everytime I took the pill. | The side effects were worse towards the end and even after I took all the meds, it seems to stay in your system for a while. To help with the taste eat a few potato chips before and after the pill. | F | 30 | 7 days | 2/19/2008 | 3 | Dental infection | Initially all seemed fine but the second day caused slight nausea with horrible depressed type mood. This was the main downer, two days after I had stopped taking them it was a revelation in mood change. Would ask for an alternative if I had to take them again | M | 48 | 4 days | 2/18/2008 | 1 | BV | End of day one had bad pain in head and stomach. Awful taste in mouth. Currently at end of day four out of seven and MISERABLE. I have been in bed most of the day because head and stomach pain are so intense while upright. Tried eating, but didn't feel better. It is doing what it is supposed to as far as the infection goes, but the side effects are close to unbearable. I am calling Dr. in the a.m., because in all my searching I am finding that BV isn't typically treated at the dosage level I am on (500mg 3x/day for 7 days). Although, it appears that people on lighter doses are experiencing same discomfort, so there is probably nothing that can be done, except to finish this horrible stuff. | ALWAYS FINISH YOUR ANTIBIOTICS (or have your doc put you on an alternative one) because when the medicine attacks the infection, it is the weakest bacterial cells that die first. The last cells to die are the STRONGEST. If you don't finish the medicine, you leave behind only the strongest bacteria, and then they begin to reproduce....THIS IS HOW WE END UP WITH ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT INFECTIONS!!! PLEASE everyone do your part and finish the stupid pills. (okay, :) off my soap box now) | F | 28 | 7 days | 2/16/2008 | 4 | BV | Slight loss of appetite,mild cramps, metalic aftertaste (oh well..),fatigue,for the past two days insomnia and anxiety, panic attacks,some paranoia, depression.. | Thank God to this side board!I started to be concerned that something is seriously wrong with me.Thank you to all you people for posting your comments abouth this med. literally save me a visit to department of psychiatry which I was boldly concidering to do within the next few days.So it's Okey to feel anxious and down, just make sure you eat and rest well and bare in mind that it eventualy will go away, there is a price to pay after all.. P.S. Try anti anxiety jokes, comedy shows etc. it will litten your moods up, guarantee! | F | 27 | 7 days | 2/13/2008 | 1 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Dark urine, inflamed stomach, numbness and heaviness in left arm, heart problems - had to go to the ER for serious heart attack symptoms including PVCs and tachychardia on day 6 after I had been told by my OB/GYN to go off it from the arm symptoms. | Don't take this unless you absolutely have to. It almost killed me. I had to go off it 2 days early. After the medicine got out of my system, I was fine. | F | 33 | 5 days | 2/11/2008 | 4 | BV | Diarrhea and dry mouth. Some lightheadedness | Make sure you take it with an entire glass of water, because the taste is horrible. No serious side effects besides diarrhea every time I try to eat something! | F | 22 | 2 days | 2/9/2008 | 4 | wisdom tooth infection | white furry tongue with red spots at back, awful taste in mouth like been sucking on pennies but began easing off by 3rd day, spaced out not great concentration especially with driving, first wee of the day v dark brown and smelly. had tension headaches in cheeks,jaw and forehead but poss due to being wisdom tooth causing the bother. also felt bit glum but prob cos in such pain and having to be off work | allergic to so many antibiotics i avoid them like plague but last wisdom tooth infection i had 10 yrs ago was so bad i just had to have them. on 3 x 200mg for 5 days. could handle these side effects as usually react so badly to these drugs would def use again (although i'm insisting on having these teeth out if happens again!!!) | F | 28 | 5 days | 2/8/2008 |
