| 5 | Dental | Felt a little spacedout and slight loss of appetite. Nothing else | When I read the side affects on this page I must admit I was worried about the affects of taking these tablets. The tablets took till the third day to help with the pain which i expected. I would take these again without any hesitation I think they are good. As for other people's comments on feeling anxious, panic attacks etc well I don't need these tablets to get those feelings!!! | F | 48 | 5 days | 7/2/2007 | 4 | Abcess under tooth | Insomnia, extreme anxiety, heart palpitations, sore throat,very dark thoughts, nasty taste in my mouth, no appetite but have to eat before taking this horrible medication, very tired, dark urine, bright orange stools. This medicine is the pits! | I'm just so glad I found this website. I've even had suicidal thoughts. Just horrible and a relief to know that it's not 'just me'. Obviously I had to take something for my tooth but an alternative - if possible - would be preferable. The pain from the tooth is easing. So at least this stuff works. A warning of the emotional side effects would have helped. | F | 52 | 5 days | 7/2/2007 | 2 | uti from ecoli infection | took cipro 500mg..bad taste in mouth lost alot of weight dizy upset stomache bumps inside mouth couldent sleep stop taking after 3 days dident clear up infection... | doctor put me back on cipro 250mg for 7 days took for two days had to stop becuse of sun burning feeling on arm and bumps in mouth..i will call the uroligest in morning.. | M | 32 | 5 days | 7/1/2007 | 2 | BV | On day four, I began to notice an irritation in my mouth and soreness on the side of my tongue. When I opened my mouth in front of the mirror I also noticed a small sore on my gum behind my molar. On day five, the same sores began to appear on the inside of my cheeks. To begin with, they were shallow and red with no border. I called the physician who prescribed the meds to see if it could be a side effect. I was told that it could be and went in for him to examine them. He had trouble even seeing them (thats how small they were). He treated the sores with silver nitrate suggested I take one more tablet to see if the symptoms worsened. The silver nitrate actually made them look much worse, like large white ulcerations. I took another tablet as he suggested and a few hours later I had a red place on my lip. It was not what I would call a sore or a blister. It was redish/purple and was not open, wet or painful. He gave me metrogel to have filled if symptoms worsened. So, I will | F | 24 | 6 days | 6/23/2007 | 2 | mouth infection | bad taste in mouth, developed a cold but not sure if thats connected to the tablets, tired | Day 2 of 6 and my mouth is still really painful. Still can't eat as i can't open my mouth wide enough. Has eased slightly but have the worst taste in my mouth ever. Hope i don't get any other side effects though! | F | 20 | 2 days | 6/22/2007 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | bad taste in mouth, dark urine, on day 7 loose bowel movements, tiredness. | F | 50 | 7 days | 6/20/2007 | 1 | rash,aches and pains somewhat similar to flu like symptons, everything real cloudy. | could not say if it work or not. But do your own rsearch and ask the Doc if another product could be used!!! | M | 46 | 7 days | 6/18/2007 | 3 | Bacteria Infection, Cryptosporidium | So tired and lethargic, have been drained of all energy yet not being able to sleep, feeling restless and emotional for no reason. Hungry yet didn't eat anything as have lost all taste for food. | Had 500mg x3 for 5 days. On my 4th day and am fed up of feeling so tired. Look iller than I did before taking medicine, bloodshot eyes etc. Definitely not a good idea to drive whilst taking this, or do anything that could be risky! Feels like a constant hangover. | F | 23 | 4 days | 6/16/2007 | 1 | BV | insomnia,tight chest, noise sensitivity, depression, anxiety/racing thoughts, anger, odd numbness all over...the taste? who cares when you compare to the rest of the symptoms, and after only 5 days - OUCH! | This med should be taken off the market! No where are the horrible side effects I've mentioned and read about over and over on this page pointed out by anyone, just a "don't drink while taking" warning (which I did not do but can't wait to have a glass or 2 of red wine in a few days after what I've been through!) Finding this site last night saved me a trip to emerg. Thought I was going crazy. If you have BV, talk to your doc, and ask for Dalacion C cream instead. | F | 35 | 5 days | 6/14/2007 | 1 | Bacterial vaginosis | The taste of this pill was almost unbearable. I always had trouble swallowing it, and even after many hours there was a metallic taste in mouth - to the point that I was nauseous. I was also nauseous when I took it. Also, my urine was a lot darker than usual, which made me worry, but I've read that's also a side effect. | F | 20 | 7 days | 6/13/2007 | 3 | Wisdom tooth/gingervitus | depression, severe tiredness, pounding headache, weight gain even though loss of appetite | On day 11 of 14 days 400mg x 3 a day & wish I had found this site sooner! Am so glad to know I am not going insane! - Thought I was just dying for a glass of wine! Don't get me wrong, the medication has MOST DEFINATELY worked- infection reduced after couple of days, butI have become so tired- no matter how much sleep I get I feel like I've had none, look knackered. Maybe this has caused general feeling of being low, but reading this site makes me think it is the medication. Would never take this again. Also worth noting, the chemist told me I should wait 3 days from the last tablet until drinking alcohol. I am quitting now. Hell! Would never take again. | F | 24 | 14 days | 6/10/2007 | 4 | Dental Infection | Itchy rash, dark urine | Taking 500mg 4 times a day, finally saw relief from horrible dental pain on day 2. On day 6 of a 7 day course I woke up with red whelps in various places. The rash itches off and on but they are far easier to live with than the pain I was in. | M | 38 | 7 days | 6/3/2007 | 3 | Coliocystitis (inf. gall bladder) | Tasted bad going down: worse coming up! Extreme nausea, have had trouble keeping it down at all. Feeling slightly 'down' but not serious, pins and needles, achy legs, chest pain, headaches...hope the damn thing works! | F | 25 | 14 days | 6/2/2007 | 3 | blastocystic hominis | Nausea, weakness in legs, tired all the time, trouble staying asleep at night, funny sensation on tongue, sadness, and a complete loss of appetite. A miserable experience, and a week later some of the side effects are still an issue although to a lesser degree. What a help to know I am not alone! This is nasty stuff and I pray it worked. | Olive oil helped with the nausea. I took it with the medicine and as a "chaser." Also found that grains of any kind made it worse. It was difficult to eat anything without gagging, and lived on a diet of olive oil, yogurt and peanut butter. | F | 67 | 10 days | 6/2/2007 | 3 | peri-rectal abscess | manic and dark thoughts, mental disruption, dysuria, hematuria, loss of physical coordination. i tore my adductor muscle by falling down stairs--9 months of great pain. | I wonder with so many people stopping their courses early because of ill side effects, what kind of global damage this could be doing? The test results for this drug must have been falsified. | M | 40 | 7 days | 5/31/2007 | 3 | Diverticulitis ie. infection | The most obvious to me is a metallic taste,additionally,I feel weak, have dry mouth, a little blurred vision,and a general sense of malaise. | Although I checked #3 on satisfaction scale,(my understanding from my Doc was that this was the appropriate med. for my condition)if there were some other med I would have scored this a #1. It just made me feel lousy all over, although the stomach pain went away in two days. It was prescribed for 10 days but I'm cutting it off at 7. | M | 68 | 10 days | 5/30/2007 | 3 | BV | Spaciness, horrid taste in mouth, dizzyness and sleepy! | I've taken this as a 2g dose rather than taking a 7 day course as was told this is a strong anti-biotic and it might be an easier course. Still waiting to see if it works on the BV, but hoping so - the effects should also wear off much quicker. If your feeling really bad on the drug - go back to your GP or GU clinic - you don't have to suffer - you can also treat it as a cream rather than by oral dosage, or change the drug! Also, if it helps anyone - there is a wash called Lactacyd which is designed to keep the pH balance right - I had about 18 months of on and off BV and this stuff has kept me free of it for a good 4 years now. Good luck. | F | 34 | 1 days | 5/26/2007 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | After several days of taking Flagyl (500mg tablets, twice a day), abdominal pain, back pain, bad taste in mouth, water tasted weird to me. Slight nausea, difficulty sleeping. Urine was darker than normal. It took care of my BV but side effects are unpleasant. I've had chemotherapy for breast cancer and I felt about as crappy on Flagyl as I did chemo. | I was offered Flagyl as a cream inserted into the vagina for this BV. Maybe that would have been better for me. | F | 58 | 7 days | 5/25/2007 | 3 | Diarrhea | I can't stand the smell of cooking. Burning hunger but can't eat when I am hungry. Don't want to drink water even when I have to. Coated Tongue. Am a little depressed but I wonder if it is due to Metronidazole? But worst of all-- and I don't know if it is related-- pain in tendons different parts of the body each night. Sore, as if I have injured myself in a workout but vanishing the next day. | It didn't control the Diarrhea. After two days, began taking it with Norfloxacin (on prescription). Got better. Side effects continue, two more days left. | M | 53 | 5 days | 5/23/2007 | 4 | Crohn's Disease | Everyone gives this low ratings b/c of side effects, but the definition of a rating is the effectiveness, and it IS effective for me in shutting down a flare up of my Crohn's. That said, I am rarely affected by side effects, but get the metallic taste, light-headedness, trouble sleeping (if I wake up, I can't fall back to sleep), and constant low-level nausea the entire time I'm on the meds. It is horrible - but a Crohn's flare is worse. | This is a class of drugs called Protazoels or something like that - there are only about 10 brand names, and half of them are Metronidazole by different makers. We expect medicine to do a difficult job, but also not 'bother' us. I don't disagree the side effects are nasty with this, and FAR more common than I think the literature from the pharmacy would indicate. BUT I also think we are lucky it exists - in the past, my alternative was steroids, with blurry vision, puffy chipmunk cheeks, hair loss, and weight gain - so I'll take metallic taste and nausea any day! | F | 34 | 7 days | 5/22/2007 |
