| 4 | dental infection | like a lot of posters here i just felt really, really, really wierd whilst on this medication. If the pain from the dental infection (I am a man and not able to stand tooth pain at all) was not so severe I would have stopped the medication. My only reason for carrying on was if it made me feel that shitty it must be working. I pretty much got the full monty of side effects including such a pronounced swelling of the lower face and lips that I had a bigger overbite than homer simpson. Still my daughter thought I looked funny with a head like a football. Urine very orange and not forthcoming. Kidneys turned to concrete and I swera I could feel this shit altering my DNA. As someone else posted - as close as you can get to insanity - any I didn't have any depression or similar episodes. Well worth avoiding - Where's my whiskey? | see above - had to slow medication down to 2 meds a day (from 3) half way through just to get through the course. | M | 42 | 5 days | 12/7/2006 | 1 | Tooth Extraction | Nausea, Dizzyness, Faint, generally very unwell after only 2 and 1/2 days had to stop taking it, still feel the same ill effects 2 days later | How ong does this take to leave your system as I still have the horrible symptoms 2 days after stopping. | F | 33 | 2 days | 12/4/2006 | 5 | B V | I FELT A LITTLE CRAMPY THE FIRST DAY I STARTED THE MEDICINE ON THURSDAY THEN BY SATURDAY MY LOWER BACK WAS HURTING BUT OTHER THAN THAT I FEEL FINE NO MORE OF THE BAD ODOR THANK GOD! | F | 30 | 7 days | 12/3/2006 | 4 | Tooth abscess | Dizziness and unsteadiness when getting up from laying or sitting, fatigue, dark urine, metallic taste, overnight extreme sweats (caused by infection or medicine?). | Pain went away in a day or so, but the side effects were difficult to deal with, especially with no alcohol for nine days. 4x500MG for 7 days. | M | 65 | 7 days | 12/3/2006 | 1 | Vaginal Bacteria | mental confussion, disoriented, metalic tast in mouth, full or Fuzzy toung sensation, Fatigue, mild nausia, major anxiety, lower back pain. Stoned feeling all the time. yellowish-greenish coloring on tounge 5 days after stopping treatment. dificulty getting the words out. | I took 5000mg twice a day. for 5 days. Today went to ER, They gave me xanax 1 mg, helped with the anziety but still have a fuzzy toung an sore throat feeling. They say ther is nothing that will make the symptoms go away but time. It sucks! I had a funeral yesterday, my husbands b-day in a week and the holidays. This is not time to feel like crap. I suggest emailing some of these people and asking them more about their experience. | F | 42 | 5 days | 12/3/2006 | 3 | Gum Infection / Bleeding | On metronidazole for a week. No side effects for first two days then extreme tiredness - thank god I was off work for the week. | Tablets taste disgusting! Have a strong flavoured drink to wash them down - not jsut water! | M | 25 | 7 days | 12/1/2006 | 2 | Wisdom Tooth Removed | I had my wisdom tooth taken out two days ago and have subsequently started taking these tablets to 'prevent' infection, Within a few hours I was feeling dizzy and sick and have since had an irritating stomach ache, feeling constantly bloated. The stomach ache comes and goes every 5 mins or so and feels like a simular yet painful version of being extremely hungry!, As a precaution I stopped using them pretty much as soon as this started, I cannot say for sure that the cause was definately due to these tablets therefore I couldn't give any advice as to whether you should use them or not. (ask your doc!) | M | 25 | 2 days | 11/29/2006 | 4 | Infection from polyps operation | Sever depresson & the metal taste in mouth is awful! Feel really strange like something is wrong, a little upset and teary. Lack of appetite and quite lethargic, was glad I read this site to make me realise these effects are normal! | They are very good for clearing up what ever is wrong but they d9o make you feel very very odd! | F | 28 | 7 days | 11/28/2006 | 4 | Infection from polyps operation | Sever depresson & the metal taste in mouth is awful! Feel really strange like something is wrong, a little upset and teary. Lack of appetite and quite lethargic, was glad I read this site to make me realise these effects are normal! | They are very good for clearing up what ever is wrong but they d9o make you feel very very odd! | F | 28 | 7 days | 11/28/2006 | 4 | Diverticulitus | This is as close to insanity as you will get! Dont worry - its not you. The good old you is still in there, this drug makes you believe your nuts. And you will act nuts too, youll start to do something then youll do something else.. everything tastes like sh*t and it totally sucks, BUT if you have life threatening circumstances, then take it because this drug might kill it. I know it sure felt like it was killing me. | Reminds me of Hole's first album: "Live through This" | M | 48 | 3 days | 11/24/2006 | 5 | gum infection | Day one took two 400mg pills by accident, felt spaced out all day. Days 2-5, no major problems. Day six though, lithargic, tired, loss of appetite and severe stomach pains. Thank f**k only two more pills to take, and hope this sickness disappears as soon as. | Started to work that day and gum pains went away and got proper sleep for the first time in two weeks. This no drinking business is tough, how long after stopping can you have a beer? | M | 28 | 7 days | 11/22/2006 | 5 | B V | Slight cramping first day, that cleared up and no other noticeable side effects (maybe slight lower back ache - not sure if related to it). After reading warnings I was concerned - but all has been fine. No depression, have been in a very good mood considering my current family situation. | I have one more day of bad tasting 500 MG Metronidazole white oval pills 2 x day (not the generics). | F | 47 | 7 days | 11/21/2006 | 4 | B V | Slight cramping first day, that cleared up and no other noticeable side effects (maybe slight lower back ache - not sure if related to it). After reading warnings I was concerned - but all has been fine. | I have one more day of bad tasting 500 MG Metronidazole white oval pills 2 x day (not the generics). | F | 47 | 7 days | 11/21/2006 | 5 | bacterial infection of jaw bone | Tired, dizzy and depressed. Dark urine. | The pills I have are large, white and oval-shaped. No bad taste! Must be generic version of Flagyl. I really don't feel like myself, glad to have found this site. Now I can tell my sweetheart that I'm not in a permanent PMS state. I'm on day 5 of 7. I am tired and depressed most of the day. I feel very lucky not to be experiencing some of the other side effects. I'm not feeling the pain in my jawbones, hope it helps regress the degeneration. | F | 47 | 7 days | 11/18/2006 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | severe depression, anxiety, anxiety attacks, slowed brain function, slowed speech, inability to concentrate, bad taste and muscle cramping began AFTER I finished, loss of interest in anything in my life | Was only warned about the alcohol effects by MD and pharmacist. Play entire 90 min. soccer games without cramping, but this did it. Have a bachelor's degree in English linguistics (spoken language) and can't think of words I want to say, or read them out loud. 48 hours since last pill, and still cannot think clearly. The worst was the depression- constant thoughts of death for 4 straight days, anxiety attacks, constant feeling of needing to be somewhere in a hurry but nowhere to go. No appetite, but forced myself to eat, which made me feel like throwing it back up. | F | 27 | 6 days | 11/15/2006 | 1 | Open Wound (preventative measure) | I was given this drug on an IV drip whilst in hospital after an accident. For the week that I had it I was unbelievably nauseous. I felt nauseous all the time without exception. I vomited up pretty much everything I had attempted to swallow and was even dry retching towards the end of my treatment. I felt utterly depressed and drained by the experience. | I can't say whether it did the job or not because it was used as a preventative measure along with another anti-biotic that was much kinder to me in terms of side effects. All I can say is that this combination did not result in my wound getting infected. After a week they took me off this drug and left me on the other anti-biotic as I felt like I was being tortured. If you do experience this kind of side effect with metronidazole I would stongly recommend begging your doctor to find something else that works, because the benefits don't outweigh the price you pay in taking it. | F | 23 | 7 days | 11/12/2006 | 5 | Molar tooth abscess | No side effects at all - I was quite concened after reading other people experiences and delayed taking the drug as much as I could until the tooth pain was unbearable. Then I took it and there was no unpleasant taste, no side effects just great anti-biotic action. It started to work 12 hours after initial dose, just as it should and I am now finalising my first day. | I bet that the alcohol side effect is urban legend as well, just as some new research indicates. However, will not experiment ;-) | M | 44 | 1 days | 11/11/2006 | 1 | Vaginalis/Presumptive Gardnerella | Almost immediate loss of appetite, metallic taste in mouth, constantly tired, tingling in hand, clumsiness, yeast infection, dry mouth, sore throat (but I may e starting a cold) | I usually eat 5-6 small meals a day. I ate a minimal amount of food only to prevent stomach irritation. Oddly, I lost no weight. While I did not feel "high", I felt like I was unsteady when walking. Around day 4 or 5, when I went to press the numbers on the phone I kept shaking my hand not to wake it up but to gain full control. Additionally, it tasted AWFUL if it didn't go down "right." I have no idea yet if it worked because I now have a yeast infection. | F | 56 | 7 days | 11/7/2006 | 1 | blastocystis hominis | depression, paranoia, nausea, mental fuzziness, fatigue worst taste i have ever experienced. | If you can avoid it, do so. i have never felt so awful and am stopping today, on the 4th day of a 10 day treatment. I have never stopped a medication before in my life, butcan't take it. | F | 4 days | 11/6/2006 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Horrible, HORRIBLE headaches...especially in the morning. Very spaced-out feeling and tired. Felt better after nap. | I'm only on day 3 of a 7 day course. The first two days were fine..then last night I started getting a headache and today I woke up with a horrendous headache and I felt like I had consumed 2 gallons of vodka the night before.. | F | 32 | 7 days | 11/4/2006 |
