| 5 | Bacterial overgrowth | MOST IMPORTANT:YOU WILL NOT HAVE A METTALLIC TASTE IN MOUTH IF YOU HAVE A COMPOUNDER PUT IT TOGETHER. BELIEVE ME, I'M ON IT PERMANENTLY AND I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY. THE SOLUTION I HAVE IS ALMOST TASTELESS. | F | 20 | 9 months | 9/21/2005 | 3 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Severe stomach cramps, gastrointestinal. All I want to do is lay down and curl in a ball my stomach hurts so bad. This is the second time using it. The first time I had no side effects what so ever. It also didn't clear up the bacterial vaginosis completely. That's why I'm taking it again. Also, I feel like I get dehydrated very easily, so when taking this pill drink A LOT of water. | Two more days left and hoping it all clears up after all that I'm going through. I'm not sure I'd take this pill again unless I had no other choice. | F | 21 | 7 days | 9/17/2005 | 1 | Urine Infection | Itchy raised rash covering chest arms and back area, weird feelings in the throat, very very dry mouth, very sleepy even though it is only 7pm. Im usually wide awake until early hours and pins and needles in my fingers. | I have taken only 3 tablets today 400mg each tab, the prescribed dose is 3 times a day. The rash is quite worrying atm because on the contraindictions it appears that you have to ring the doctor immediately if rash occurs, in which i am in the process of doing so. I dont think I will be taking any more of these tomorrow. | F | 33 | 1 days | 9/13/2005 | 1 | Bacterial | Very sore eyes, itchy all the time, constant headache, really fast heart beat leading to severe dizziness and hot flushes. | I finished the course and now 2 days later my side effects are slowly improving. Would'nt recommend the drug and I'm not sure if it's helped after all that! | F | 24 | 7 days | 9/9/2005 | 4 | vaginal infection | I thought i was losing it! I was always tired but I couldn't sleep. I would break out in cold sweats in the middle of night. I constantly felt nausea throughout the day and thought I was pregnant, lose of appetite, wierd white spots grew on my tongue, constantly dizzy, wierd metallic taste in my mouth, loose stool. I had to take it for 7 days, but i couldn't hang on the last day. I gave up! | I hate the side effects but my infection is gone. | F | 26 | 7 days | 9/1/2005 | 3 | bacterial vaginosis | My right eye feels like someone is poking their finger into my eyesocket. I just started on this yesterday & I had the metallic taste in my mouth and then the in my right eye. Today was the same. It happens less than 10 minutes from when I take it. I did start to sweat after the 1st time but today with this dose I'm just laying still because I felt like my heart was racing too much | I went to a new doc, gynecologist, she did an exam, swab & then check under microscope thing and said I had 'bacterial vaginosis' What I'm kinda confused about is I had my full exam back in Feb & was all no problems. I haven't had sex between then and now so I wonder how I got this. I'm out of state & no out of state medical coverage. I wonder if this is just typical for doctors to prescribe | F | 29 | 2 days | 8/27/2005 | 3 | vaginal bacterial while pregnant | Headache, nasty taste in mouth, listless, baby moved a little less, erratic heartrate, fever, confusion. 1000 mg daily | F | 26 | 7 days | 8/18/2005 | 4 | amoebiasis | metallic taste, always dizzy, urine is dark, constipation | Bad breath is gone | M | 39 | 5 days | 8/16/2005 | 1 | | 8/6/2005 | 4 | Mouth Abscess | Severe pain/pressure behind eye (like someones trying to poke my eye out from the back) this pain gets worse as the day goes on, until it's just about unbearable by bedtime, depression, anxiety, irritability, short tempered, stomach cramps and pain keeping me awake at night, but I feel tired all the time and a 'funny feeling' in my throat/neck. | I feel horrible, but my abscess does seem to be clearing up. I've been having the problem for 4 years, have had two apicectomy's (the last one 18 mths ago) and thought that one had work. If this clears it up it will have been worth it, but I can't wait to finish the course (I'm on day 5 now, so nearly there HURRAY). I'm so glad I found this page, it's reasurring to know other people have had the same side effects. | F | 43 | 7 days | 8/5/2005 | 3 | Tooth Infection | Absolutely no side effects what so ever | Taken with amoxicillin. It hasnt worked though! I still have the exact same pain in my tooth as I did before | F | 24 | 5 days | 8/5/2005 | 1 | pseudomembranous colitis | Nausea, stomach upset, fuzzy head, dry mouth, tired-I wake in the middle of the night, difficulty breathing-an effort to get in a deep breath, lightheadedness shortly after taking medication and chills as if I was about to pass out. | Generally I feel worse than before taking the medication. The taste is so foul and I felt sick for a couple hours after taking medication, which I am taking 4 times a day. I haven't completed the regime yet, but the side effects are so bad that I don't want to take this drug again. It is has made me totally miserable. Eating makes me sick to my stomach but not eating is worse. | F | 28 | 7 days | 8/4/2005 | 4 | Gum Infection | Was on a low dosage, felt a bit woozy but that was probably the painkillers i was taking. Main problem was the horrible metallic taste in the mouth, didn't start til just after i STOPPED taking the medicene, but it's not going away quickly unfortunately. | Worked wonders on the infection and this metallic taste is a walk in the park compared to the thumping pain of the infection. | M | 23 | 7 days | 8/2/2005 | 4 | diverticulitis | Absolutely awful. And I am only on day 5 of 10. Bad metallic taste in mouth, dry mouth, almost think I am getting thrush, making my gastrinal problems worse, insomnia, headaches, dry cough. Will be so glad when I am done, if I can get there! | M | 42 | 10 days | 7/26/2005 | 5 | Bacterial infection (spider bite) | Constant sickening metallic taste in mouth. Unbelievably bitter tasting pill. Constant headache that feels like a bad sinus headache. Lethargic. Loose, dark stool. Bouts of woozieness, sometimes bordering on severe disorientation; scary. Some insomnia. | Knocked that infection out of me quite effectively. Was taking it in conjunction with Cipro. Found out toward the end of the treatment that the bitter taste is undetectible if you take it in a spoonfull of chocolate syrup. One day to go...can't wait for it to be done. Am taking 500mg 3x/day. | M | 54 | 14 days | 7/15/2005 | 1 | H. pylori bacteria | Severe depression, anxiety to the point of going to Urgent Care because I thought there was something wrong with my heart, heart palpitations waking me up at night, shortness of breath, neck & throat & chest throbbing, feeling like I was | Have upcoming endoscopy scheduled to see if bacteria is gone. I have been off the meds for 2 1/2 days and still feel depressed/anxious and a few heart palpitations. | F | 28 | 14 days | 6/17/2005 | 4 | Bacterial Infection | The first couple of days, severe headaches, nausea, sever stomach pain and Horrible taste. Now add diarrhea. | It works but you can' t tell depending on your infection because it makes you feel worse then before you started taking the medicine. | F | 24 | 7 days | 6/16/2005 | 4 | Vaginal Bacterial Infection | I had a terrible taste in my mouth, not to mention trying to get the pill down without tasting it. I became depressed and had no energy. I also became naseous and dizzy. | Cleared up the infection. I still have two days to finish the treatment. Can't wait till its over! | F | 20 | 7 days | 6/14/2005 | 1 | Bacterial vaginitis | Profound nausea, nearly debilitating, horrible metallic taste in mouth, disorientation. | I will never take this drug again. Never! Talk about a bitter pill to swallow. There is no reason for a medication to taste this bad. A bitter pill to swallow in more ways than one. I posted this before, but for some reason, it has disappeared. I hope people take these comments to heart. Never again. I stopped taking after 4 days. HORRIBLE! | F | 56 | 4 days | 6/14/2005 | 2 | giardia | depression and feeling of restlessness, insomnia | F | 32 | 3 days | 6/13/2005 |
