| 3 | yes | I had an awful taste in my mouth, felt dehydrated, urine discoloration, feces discoloration (they were lighter). | cleared away quickly but I was left with a yeast infection... | F | 25 | 7 days | 4/6/2006 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginitis | Dizzy, extremely tired but have trouble sleeping. Metal taste all of the time. Just worn out. I took for one week and chronic headache went away, but within 10 days my symptoms returned. I went back to the doctor for another exam, and sure enough I still have infection. I am on day 4 of 7 more days and am not sure I can finish this time. I am really exhausted. Cried most of yesterday, but not so emotional today. | F | 50 | 14 days | 3/31/2006 | 1 | viginal infection | Tingling, numbness in my arm and legs, it got so bad on the 6 day I stopped. I went to the emergency room and the doc told me these will go away. It has been 3 days since I stopped and I still have the same tingling feeling and bad pain on my legs. I hope this is not permanent. I will never take this again. | I WISH SOMEONE CAN ASSURE ME THESE TINGLING AND NUMBNESS WILL GO AWAY. | F | 32 | 7 days | 3/26/2006 | 1 | rosacea | none - yet? | according to the package insert, metronidazole causes cancer in mice and rats but not hamsters. I'd rather have rosacea than cancer. (I was taking the MetroGel version of this drug.) | F | 36 | 5 days | 3/22/2006 | 4 | Wisdom tooth pains | nasty side effects - constipation, upset stomach, cramps, severe bloating, depression, aggressive behaviour, dizziness, spaced out, lethargy. | It might ruin your week and is hard to take the full packet | M | 23 | 7 days | 3/3/2006 | 2 | post extraction | severe depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, confusion, nausia, short temper, head palpatations, ear-ache, insomnia | probably doing me good but at severe cost. | M | 25 | 10 days | 3/2/2006 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | metallic taste in mouth. Slight headache and nausea | It should come in capsule form. I've recurring BV and these are almost impossible for me to take, even when halved. They are too chalky and no matter what method I try to ease them down - they get stuck in my throat and start to disolve and they are HORRRRRRIDD TASTING! I gag when I take them and ended up up having to stop med. | F | 37 | 7 days | 2/19/2006 | 4 | Bacterial infection | Metallic taste in mouth, loss of libido, depression, headache, nausea, dizziness, coating on tongue. | Side effects are horrendous - did clear infection, though. | F | 30 | 5 days | 2/19/2006 | 5 | infection in removed tooth area | Felt like PMS all week; general feeling of malaise and constant tiredness. Horrible taste in my mouth all week long. Vaginal itching. | So far, though, the tooth infection is gone. | F | 20 | 7 days | 2/18/2006 | 5 | Bacterial Vaginitis | Dry mouth, loose stool, dizziness, upset stomach and terrible taste in mouth. | The medicine worked, but I was fighting it by day 7 to keep going with it. It leaves a terrible metallic taste and the side effects kicked my ass! | F | 31 | 7 days | 2/14/2006 | 3 | Vaginal bacteria | Darkened urine and lethargic. After taste is unbearable. | Guess that reaction meant it works. Took 4 pills as one dose. Taste is disgusting. | F | 20 | 1 days | 2/3/2006 | 1 | gingivitis | Muscle aches, disorientation, depression, dry mouth, sore throat, sleep disturbances, confusion and generally feeling awful | Was warned about the nausea but would have preferred to have a drink, especially as it was my birthday!! Stopped on day 2 of course because could not bear the symptoms, far worse than the condition. Would never ever take it again. | F | 51 | 2 days | 1/31/2006 | 2 | Stomach Infection | Diarhea(not to bad but it seems to not want to go away) and a feeling that I just can't get settled. It's almost like I have constant butterflies in my stomach. Not fun at all. | I don't think any of us like the idea of getting sick! Then all of a sudden start taking a bunch of drugs just to feel even worse. But....if we do want to feel better I guess sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease. Good luck to everyone out there and don't worry...MOST doctors do know what they are doing. | F | 31 | 6 days | 1/30/2006 | 5 | bacterial vagintis | dry mouth, vomiting, loose stool, darkened urine | All the side effects were annoying, but tollerable. I'm all cured, so I suppose it was worth it. | F | 16 | 5 days | 1/25/2006 | 4 | stomach infection | Insomnia. Numbness in two toes of right foot. Intense itching and blistering on fingers. Occasional heart palpitations. Night time headache, mild but depressing. | I have a tendency to be allergic to drugs. I will try to stay the 14 day course because this is the main drug for treating stomach ulcers and I need to get rid of the bacteria. Now on day 8. | F | 63 | 14 days | 1/23/2006 | 1 | Anxiety, depression, irritability, irrational behaviour. This drug is the pits! I feel like an unwilling participant in one of Dr Mengler's experiments in Nazi Germany. | If this drug doesn't cure the infection (suspected Giadia) I'm going to shoot my doctor! | M | 34 | 6 days | 1/23/2006 | 4 | bacterial vaginosis | dark urine, nauseau, and now a furry, spotty and white tongue. | Nausea was a pain. It's odd; my tongue is furry and white with tiny bumps. I keep getting the sensation that there is something on my tongue that I need to swallow and it's freking me out. But, the infection is gone. | F | 27 | 7 days | 1/18/2006 | 3 | bacterial infection | Horrible metalic taste in mouth, furry tongue,loss of appetite,very dark urine,lethargic feeling. | Hopefully the infection doesn't come back but if it does, I'll ask for an alternative. Only took it 5 out of 7 days. Couldn't take it anymore. | F | 30 | 5 days | 1/17/2006 | 1 | intestinal bacteria | fatigue, irritability, restless/sleeplessness, depressed, difficulty concentrating, agitated/jumpy, general malaise, slight headache, cotton mouth, lingering bad taste | I have never been affected by a drug like this. I'd rather drink ipecac - at least I know the effects will eventually go away. The side effects last all the time - they don't get better while taking this stuff. I'm scared to drive, I'm easily distracted, I'm exhausted, but at the same time I've got this awful nervous energy that won't subside so I can't sleep. And this taste... You can't describe it. It's awful. The initial taste is bad enough, but this lingering taste - I can't stand it. And to top it off, it makes you depressed! What bliss! I'm a positive person and I've never just broken into tears, but it takes a lot of effort not to break down and cry. I've been on this prescription for 7 days with three more to go. I assume I'm getting better, but compared to these side effects, I'd rather be sick again. There has to be a less severe alternative. | M | 37 | 7 days | 1/9/2006 | 1 | Breast abcess | I'm now on day 3, and I have constant stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, diahorrea, headache. | I think my abcess is getting smaller, but the side effects of the medication mean I'm off work. Weird...I had mastitis 18 months ago and had this drug administered intravenously for 4 days, and it didn't make me ill then. But on this current experience, I would advise people to request an alternative. | F | 35 | 3 days | 1/4/2006 |
