| 1 | bacterial | within an hour waves of nausea, anxiety, severe depression, unable to sleep. My jaw was sore and felt like I couldn't breathe. | This is the worst thing I have ever taken. I feel worse then even before. | F | 22 | 1 times | 6/10/2005 | 1 | tooth infection | This drug made me feel terrible.all my face and eyes swelled up and i was shivering at night and sweating in the morning ifelt constantly dizzy and bad tempered and i couldnt eat so i stopped taking it after 2 days. | F | 36 | 2 days | 5/18/2005 | 1 | bacterial infection | felt constantly sick, couldnt eat, severe sore stomach(had to stay off work), felt confused and just generally awful | i stopped taking the drug 5 days ago and am still not feeling too good with feelings of nausea and sore stomach still around. it did clear up the infection but would never use again | F | 25 | 7 days | 5/10/2005 | 2 | wisdom tooth infection | Nausea, a really weird taste in my mouth all the time - metallic like, felt like a zombie during the day at work, headaches in the evening. Sometimes side effects get progressively worse during the day so I wake up feeling okish - more like me, but then as theday goes on I feel really peculiar. Feel dehydrated all the time. | A bit of me doubts the diagnosis from my dentist so whether this is doing me any good I don't know. Tenderness in my mouth and jaw has calmed down, but still very achy. Thought I have been going slightly bonkers over the past week because of teh way I feel, but after reading the comments on this page I feel reassured its the medication and not me losing my marbles. Taking for a week, 4 days done, 3 to go. Didn't want to take these in the first place, wich I hadn't now. 400mg 3xday for a week | F | 24 | 7 days | 4/30/2005 | 3 | Misdiagnosed Giardia | I had no side effects other than a slightly dryer mouth until after I stopped taking the drug. It's been three days since I finished the 5 day treatment and I've been very thirsty with little appetite. The problem appears to be my gallbladder. I assumed giardia based on the symptoms and the fact that the problem began after being in Mexico for 24 hours. | M | 39 | 5 days | 4/26/2005 | 4 | vaginal infection | Severe headaches, trouble sleeping and depression were the main side effects. Thought I was going nuts, thanks for the list, made me feel better I wasn't the only one. | Cleared up the problem | F | 37 | 6 days | 4/24/2005 | 5 | Tooth Infection | Hideous taste in my mouth all day,sleepless nights,lathargy, nausea, severe stomach cramps,dizziness,irratibility,confusion and the wierdest feeling of my skin itching. The infection seems to have cleared up but is was a battle to complete the course. The worst part was the taste constantly in my mouth. | As with any antibiotics you have to complete the course so get ready for a really uncomfortable week. | M | 32 | 5 days | 4/15/2005 | 1 | divertivulitis | The usual nausea and metallic taste in mouth, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps etc. Metallic taste, irregular appetite and sensitivity to alcohol lingered a week after drug was discontinued. | When it's used for diverticulitis, a disease causing abdominal cramps, one must realize that the disease may be getting cured, but the symptoms persist, caused by side effects of metronidazole. Without this knowledge, one naturally suspects the diverticulitus is getting worse. The last thing a patient wants is a drug that increases the symptoms of the disease for which they're being treated. | M | 63 | 7 days | 4/14/2005 | 4 | Tooth infection | Nausea, loss of appetite had to force myself to eat as drug has to be taken with food. Dizziness, feelings of loss of balance, total lethargy, horrid taste in mouth, diarrhoea; completed 5 day course, but in all felt really ill and will request alternative in future. | F | 61 | 5 days | 4/6/2005 | 4 | Tooth infection | Nausea, loss of appetite had to force myself to eat as drug has to be taken with food. Dizziness, feelings of loss of balance, total lethargy, horrid taste in mouth, diarrhoea; completed 5 day course, but in all felt really ill and will request alternative in future. | This is a horrible drug to take and alternatives with fewer side effects should be prescribed. | F | 61 | 5 days | 4/6/2005 | 1 | Root canal re-treatment | Continuous unpleasent metallic taste after 4th dose; Extreme irritability; Fidgity feeling for several hours after taking it; Very uncomfortable spacey feeling like anxiety without increased heart rate; General feeling of having a toxin in my body | There were no side effects after the first couple of doses but they developed around day 2 and got progressively worse. The side effects became so bad I stopped taking it after 9 doses (2 1/2 days). I will elect to have this tooth extracted rather than stay on this drug if there aren't any other options. I will NEVER take this drug again. | M | 37 | 2.5 days | 3/31/2005 | 4 | Periodontal Infection | Continual revolting taste in mouth. Feel woozy and irritable. Loss of energy. Sore spots like ulcers in mouth and swollen/sore throat. Basically makes you feel ill. | Got rid of the infection very effectively, but finishing the course is a great relief. Appears to be the standard treatment for this kind of thing. Why can't they make it in capsule form so at least you don't suffer the vile taste? | M | 49 | 7 days | 3/29/2005 | 3 | | 2/27/2005 | 3 | vaginosis | Constant metallic taste, severe headache, loss of appetite, dizziness, and depression. | F | 29 | 7 days | 2/20/2005 | 4 | Bacterial infection | It gave me a terrible taste in my mouth. I often felt nauseated. I couldn't really eat anything with it. It would sometimes put me in a state of confusion. My head would feel somewhat heavy and I would get mild headaches. It also terribly irritated my throat and tonsils which would then congest and add pressure in my ears. | It did it's job. But I would highly recommend you to ask your doctor if there are any other medications you could take instead of Metronidazole. If not, drink lots of water to help wash it down. | F | 22 | 7 days | 1/26/2005 | 4 | Bacterial Vaginosis | Metallic Taste in mouth, very sore and swollen throat, extreme pressure in head, almost like a sinus infection. Dizziness and swollen tongue. Symptoms showed up within hours. | DO NOT drink while on it, extremely sick feeling. Seems to have cleared up the infection but not in a pleasant mood. I would suggest asking for an alternative. | F | 20 | 7 days | 1/14/2005 | 3 | Bacterial | Within an hour after taking I was depressed, nauseous, confused, unable to eat and had a hard time sleeping. Bad taste in mouth muscle soreness and overall discomfort. | After three days I stopped taking them. | F | 25 | 10 days | 12/1/2004 | 3 | vaginal infection | nausea, dizziness, irritability, depression, loose stool, tingling, headache, aggressive behavior, dry mouth | It worked well in fixing the problem, but the side-effects are terrible. I had no idea what was wrong w/ me until I read others' comments. I've been sick the whole week I've been taking it and am relieved (now) to know that my ailments will go away once it leaves my system. | F | 28 | 7 days | 11/3/2004 | 3 | 1) gum infection 2) wisdom tooth | irritability, aggressive feelings, almost depressed. Amazingly sharp onset within 30 mins of taking them but seems to go after about 3 hrs. | 3 x 200mg per day on two occasions. I suppose it did work the first time against a painful infection but 2nd time was just-in-case after tooth extraction | M | 43 | 7 days | 11/2/2004 | 4 | Gingivitis | Felt like constant mild hangover | Fill mouth with water first, then pop pill in and swallow quickly or you will have bitter taste in your mouth all day. | M | 35 | 7 days | 9/25/2004 |
