| 3 | infection | Bad headaches I just couldn’t shift, cant sleep but really really tired. Very depressed, mood swings, paranoia almost feel schizophrenic trying to reason with myself regarding the absurd emotions going through me. Haven’t lost my appetite at all but have had Diarrhoea and really bad craps due I think to wind. Metallic taste has been constant but I can put up with that the other stuff is getting me down. Positive side I no its not for long. Advise those close to you what’s happening and how your feeling their understanding makes it easier to deal with. I wouldn’t want to take this drug again if there was something else. | F | 41 | 7 days | 5/21/2007 | 2 | Infection | I was prescribed two 7-day courses, the first of which I suffered no side affects. After starting the 2nd, from out of nowhere I began feeling depressed, paranoid, irritable, & emotional. I suffered from disturbed sleep, pounding headache, mild nausea, furry white tongue, a muscular sore throat, dry mouth, dark urine & diarrhoea. | Decided not to take the rest of the course at this point & noticed a vast improvement within a few hours of missing what would have been the next tablet. | F | 34 | 5 days | 5/21/2007 | 1 | infection | WORST MEDICATION EVER | PLEASE REPORT IT TO YOUR NEAREST CHEMIST/PHARMACIST there is no where on the leaflet telling us of our side affects.. PLEASE REPORT IT... | M | 35 | 14 days | 5/20/2007 | 1 | Infection w/Wisdom Tooth Extraction | EXTREME anxiety. Feels like I'm going insane. Can't sit still. Supine Hypertension!! Jittery feeling all over. Horrible taste in mouth. Total loss of appetite. | I feel like I'm going insane. I took it because I received HEAVY doses of Keflex and Clindamycin for a tooth infection and they were worried about C-Diff. I cannot lay down without taking an Ativan as my heart pounds so hard it literally shakes me. When sitting I find myself rocking back and forth and having extreme feelings of doom and gloom. 500mg 4 times a day and I could only take the stuff three days before this all happened. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!!!!!!! | F | 43 | 3 days | 5/18/2007 | 2 | bv | extreme depression, anxiety, heavy head, can't think straight, tired, and massive headaches. Haven't had any stomache problems yet. | I don't like this medicine! I don't feel like myself and I don't like it! All I want to do is crawl into bed and never leave. I hate this and it's only day 2 of 7. Hopefully it gets better... | F | 28 | 7 days | 5/17/2007 | 1 | Tooth infection | DISGUSTING drug, would not recommend at all! Have severe nausea, the most awful taste in my mouth that refuses to budge no matter what I eat or drink, tired, aching joints and mild anxiety. And my toothache still hasn't cleared on Day 3... | F | 32 | 5 days | 5/17/2007 | 1 | BV | I've experienced the metallic taste, the nausea, of course the vomiting. Everything I eat tastes horrible. Never drink water. Just thinking about having to take metronidazole..makes me feel sick.. OH the taste.. Cramping. The cramping need I say more. The depression. My whole lifestyle gets turned upside down everytime..this BV occurs. | There has to be something better. A CURE. Something. I;ve been dealing with this for 6 years. It comes and goes. It just never stays away. Its horrible and embarrassing. Its sad but I honestly must say I feel better knowing others are in the same boat as me. Any helpful helpful advice. Has anyone taken the medication and had this just go away and never come back? I;m looking for that remedy. PLEASE HELP | F | 30 | 14 days | 5/15/2007 | 4 | Gingivitis | Tasted horrible, I had 50ml of sparkling wine and felt ill very quickly, lasted for a few hours. The day after stopping medication, I had diarrhoea and an upset stomach. | 400mg 3 times a day | F | 31 | 5 days | 5/14/2007 | 1 | bv | extreme fatigue, muscle pain, depression, panic attacks, stomach pain, tingling in hands and feet, legs shaky. | This forum helped me because I thought I was losing it until I read that many were having the same reactions. I had to stop taking it after 5 days. I couldn't handle all the pain in my muscles and all the rest. This stayed with me for several weeks. Some symptomatic hypoglycemia that I never had before. I will never take this again. Not for me. | F | 32 | 5 days | 5/14/2007 | 3 | to cure recurring stomach pain | nausea, tired eyes, sleepiness. | don't know if it's just my imagination but after taking this drug, i can smell some people's breath even if they are a meter away from me. funny thing is, i can't seem to smell my breath. :-) | M | 7 days | 5/11/2007 | 1 | Helicobacter Pylori infection | Revolting bitter taste in my mouth after day 1, occasional spaced out feeling, mild nausea sometimes, white coated tongue. Insomnia. | The course was for 7 days, but on the 6th day I developed a slight itchy rash on legs and arms, and then on day 7 it worsened and spread to my body. I finished all but two of the tablets. Am now on antihistamines and prednisolone for three days to try and calm the rash. There must be an alternative that can be used instead of this vile medication. | F | 60 | 6 days | 5/9/2007 | 3 | BV | dizziness (i fell over at work out of no where, after day 5 of taking medication), constantly tired, nausea after taking first pill | stopped taking medication with only 3 pills left to go and after a visit to the hospital | F | 26 | 7 days | 5/8/2007 | 4 | BV | Extreme tiredness, I've never been so tired in all my life! Furred tongue, thickish white coating and terrible taste in mouth. Little bit of nausea. | Brushing tongue gently with toothbrush and using strong mouthwash seems to be helping the funny taste, sugary foods seem to worsen it. | F | 25 | 5 days | 5/6/2007 | 5 | infection in tooth | bad taste in mouth. Urine dark orange. Appetite great etc. even the weather was better. Saved my tooth from root canal. | M | 58 | 7 days | 5/3/2007 | 5 | Gum infection | No bad side effects - infection cleared up by day 6 of 7. The tablets have a typical (slightly unpleasant) metallic antibiotic taste. | I am sorry that others have had bad side-effects, and I wonder about the true statistics. | M | 55 | 7 days | 5/2/2007 | 2 | dental infection | Night sweats, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, general lethargy and lowness. | On high dose twice and infection in mouth came back | F | 40 | 5 days | 4/30/2007 | 1 | BV | Tongue fleared up so much so i couldnt speak, tongue covered in white fur and red spots,throat so sore cant swollow, teeth/gums kill and lips, all cracked and sore that on top of tiredness and moddy feelings! | This is the 2nd time i took the first was 5 at once this time is 1 am 1 pm and the same thing happened both times..NEVER AGAIN WOULD I TAKE THEM | F | 27 | 2 days | 4/30/2007 | 3 | tooth infection | This medicine is weird because it only works when I’m asleep, on day 3 I had the most severe tooth pain I ever experienced in life. I get funny feeling on my stomach when I wake up in the morning, I can only eat very little because I get sick. My dentist advised me to take fruity Yakult/Actimel yoghurts if I get sick and they work. My eye and cheek hurt and my eyes have turned red. I have temperature at times. The urine has gone all rainbows. Also I got a bad temper after taking this medicine; I can only sleep in few positions because the pain gets unbearable. During the day when the pain kicks in, I have to adjust my head. Not to mention the taste I always drink 4/5 cups of water to get rid of the taste. | I would not advice for anyone to take this medicine if you’ve got tooth infection unless you haven’t got a choice. | M | 21 | 4 days | 4/28/2007 | 3 | tooth abcess | mild metal taste fury tongue, nothing i couldnt handle | After reading through all the comments about this drug i feel i had a very easy time with it, apart from the mild metal taste and fury tongue i havnt suffered any other side effects. For me the worst part of taking this drug was not being able to drink alcohol | F | 36 | 5 days | 4/27/2007 | 3 | BV | 500 mgs three times a day - hope I don't have the fatigue, insomnia, headaches that long - I'm exhausted after 2 days. | Sorry to hear so many of us are going through this, but I have no choice - I have to take the med in order to get better. Drink diet coke before and after taking the med does help with the metallic taste. | F | 56 | 7 days | 4/27/2007 |
