 4  Bactrial Vaginosis Intestinal gas, a bit of nausea, belching, lethargy, fatigue, loss of appetite, drowsiness, prolonged sleep patterns I have suffered through these uncomfortable side effects for the last close to 7 days, and I ended up cancelling any appointments this week from just being unable to function being on Metronidazole. As bad as it was, I feel finally the BV is gone. F 46 7 days

 1  BV Felt sick, spaced out, couldn't walk in a straight line, blurred vision, awful taste in the mouth and throat. I was meant to take this antibiotic for 5 days X 3 tablets per day (15 in total). By the fifth tablet I felt dreadful and ended up phoning NHS 111 for advice and was advised to stop taking them immediately due to side effects. I will never take this tablet again and I just hope I haven't done any long term damage.. F 44 2 days

 1  Trich Unbearable stomache bloating ,stomache cramps,sore throat, runny nose, weak , hungover feeling, low mood , tearfulness,sore arms& legs(painful to walk), lower back pain,wrist pain ( as if something is tied tight around them )ringing in ears,headache ..also shooting pains in head,pain in eye sockets,stomache feels as if on fire ( on & off for long periods), pain in lower stomache area as if in ovaries .Just want to go to bed to rest , pressure feeling in nose as if just inhaled pepper ( burning high up inside), unbalanced feeling when walking as if about to topple over to one side, dizziness, frequent urination & urethra burning as if a UTI ,heart beating fast ,shivering & feeling cold. This should only be given to prevent death ...4 wks have passed since last dose & most of my symptoms started after tablets finished.I wouldn’t be so bothered if I knew these side effects would stop as soon as tablets stopped but I’m really scared that they have permanently damaged my body.I don’t drink or smoke & eat healthy organic food when I can to look after my body , then I’m prescribed this which has left me with symptoms worse than a crack head gets .We should all be getting large compensation payouts for what this drug has done to us.We all need to stand up & confront these pharmaceutical crooks that are allowed to pass this crap off as a safe tablet . It’s already proven to cause cancer in mice , that should be enough to have it banned.I can’t even walk to the corner shop I’m so weak & with leg & back pain.....4 wks after finished tablets.When I mentioned to dr that thought I had a UTI from the tablets she tested me & said I didn’t , I explained didn’t have this problem before the tablets .... she said she prescribes hundreds of these every wk 😱& that they’re safe😳& very rarely have side effects...she didn’t seem to know(or care ) about what these toxic death tablets are capable of...

 5  Gum infection (root canal) I was told by my dentist that it may irritate my stomach. But it did not. It just made me extremely tired & a bit anxious. But other than that, it cleared up my infection & no more pain in my gums. I initially was prescribed penicillin but it did absolutely nothing for my infection. But metronidazole was more than effective. I would recommend it. F 35 7 days

 1  Gum infection Around 7 hours after the first dose, I started to feel horrible. Sore tummy, nausea, headache, and so tired I couldn't wake up until 1pm. Now got severe diarrhea and cramps. I feel like there's a huge fog over my brain and I can't focus or speak clearly and I'm unsteady and dizzy. Have taken two and a half days out of five and had to stop. I've had this once before with no problems and this is terrifying me. AND, I'm on my HONEYMOON!!!! NEVER again. I'm really frightened.Don't risk it!! New husband thinks these reviews are fake they are so bad - so I'm adding mine to prove they are real! F 37 5 days

 1  Clostridium difficile Major anxiety & depression. Laboured breathing. Insomnia. Some joint discomfort. No...you are not going crazy. If you already are susceptible to any form of anxiety or depression, this medication will amplify it. I'm sure there are those who aren't and thus won't feel those effects. I would also think that if you are on a small, single dose you take a bed, you might be fine. Otherwise...please discuss with your doctor on alternate. Extreme forms of anxiety and depression can lead to more undesirable (and sometimes permanent) results. M 53 1.3 days

 1  Bacterial Vaginosis I chewed the pills as I don't swallow pills well the taste is unbearable and will linger. I thought I was losing appetite because the Taste. I have had 2 panic attacks in the past previously before taking this medicine. So I started to feel like I was going to have one again. Racing heart, shakes, dry mouth, moodiness, LITERALLY UNABLE TO EAT, extremely hungry, loss of appetite.... for the past 3 days I've eaten an equivalent of one full meal. My tongue feels weird chewing food and actually swallowing seems like such a difficult task. HIGHLY SUGGEST DONT TAKE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ANXIETY. Feeling detached from body... brain fog... everything tastes undesirable even if I know it taste good. I have gas more than average like every few minutes without the entire day the medicine made things worse and feeling so sick. only took prescribed meds for 3 days and LUCKILY missed 2 doses it was take 1 tablet orally twice daily with food. However I couldn't even Finish the medication because I have barely been eating. PLEASE BEG FOR AN ALTERNATIVE SHOW YOUR DOCTOR ALL THESE REVIEWS ON THIS MEDICINE!!!! I'm hoping my symptoms subside. It did help my BV however it's not worth it. F 19 7 days

 5  trichomonasis Having read all the terrifying comments, I was expecting the absolute worst. However, I had absolutely no side effects AT ALL! I didn't even know I took it. I took it before going to sleep, so in case it got bad I would hopefully have been able to sleep through it. I had eaten two sandwiches and some cookies before I took it, spread out over one hour period, so my stomach wasn't too full - I was scared I would be sick from having too much food, so I wanted to be full, but not too full. I then went into bed, watched a movie, and fell asleep. Woke up in the morning, no side effects for now. And the taste isnt that bad at all!!! It might not be the most pleasant ever, but definitely not as bad as some people make it sound. F 25 1 days

 1  SIBO chest pains and pressure, lowered sensitivity to touch on whole body, insomnia, dizziness, falling sensation, worsening of my brain fog, loss of appetite DONT EVER TAKE THIS POISON UNLESS THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE and you are dying or horribly sick. I cautiously took only 1 half a pill (seriously) to begin and already on that first day I experienced some weird tingling in back, I decided to not take any more, but despite that, I developed mentioned symptoms. It's been 5 days since I stopped but I am still experiencing symptoms. It could have helped my condition but I regret ever messing with this poison. Think thrice before taking this. Think if your condition is really worth of risking horrible side effects. In case you decide to try it, if you start to experience any weird symptoms, stop immediately and don't listen to ignorant doctors because if you develop some horrible side effects, there is no magical pill that will make them disappear. 1 days
