| 5 | WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION/ INFECTION | Headaches, depression, lack of energy, restlessness, shivering and sweats, aching all over, lack of motivation | I'm stopping a day short of the required dosage (3x200g for 5 days). I can't go on any longer - I just hope it's cleared the infection from the surgery up completely. | M | 34 | 4 days | 4/7/2006 | 4 | diarrhea (suspected giardia) | pressure behind my eyes and my eyelids and face are swollen, weird itching on my face and back, obviously I am allergic but this did not show up till day 5. Also left terrible taste in mouth. I also had a heightened sense of smell. | I am quitting my 14 day course at day 7. I am going to take a benedryl. | F | 44 | 7 days | 4/7/2006 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | 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 | 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 |
