5 | Diverticulitis | Metallic taste in mouth brown tongue | M | 51 | 10 days 500 mg | 2/28/2017 | 3 | BV | This was my first time taking this medication. It caused me to have hot flashes, dizziness, balance issues, extreme weakness in arms/legs, sharp pain in my feet/hands. | Medication cleared the infection but I won't take it if I have this issue again. I have a neurological condition so maybe that's why my body reacted the way it did. I did not have these symptoms until I took the medication. When I stopped it, the symptoms stopped. | F | 7 days 500 MG | 2/22/2017 | 1 | BV | Horrible anxiety. Panic attacks. Feeling like my heart is going to stop. Weird feeling in my head feels like I'm going to have a seizure. | Worst drug ever. I took the tablets and noticed these side effects. I told my doctor and she perscribed the same medicine but in cream form and assured me there wouldnt be side effects. She was very wrong. Only 1 day and I'm feeling like I'm about to die. I can't function I have these awful shakes. I wish gor the symptoms to Just go away. | F | 26 | 1 days | 2/22/2017 | 1 | BV | Nausea, fatigue, Headaches, no Appetite | The second day of taking this medicine I lost my voice. I'm on day 6 and it's still gone :( | F | 32 | 7 days 500mg | 2/15/2017 | 3 | Bv | Have taken it lots of times and never had a single side effect until now. Nauseous, loss of appetite, tiredness, and bloated. I feel horrible but this is the first time I have had a bad experience with this drug. | It does clear the infection. | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/14/2017 | 1 | Trich/BV | Very bad headaches, Rapid Heartbeat, Dizziness, feeling faint, Nightmares, Insomnia, I've took this medicine before, however this time I don't know why my body reacted so different.... | However it did clear up my infections!! My body is slowly becoming normal again... | F | 32 | 7 days 500 | 2/11/2017 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Took 1st dose and within about half an hour developed intensemble stomach bloat. About 30 minutes later, left side of face began itching. Had a giant welt (hives) at location near jawline. Within minutes face, neck, jaw and tongue began to swell. Tongue was also white. Bloat grew worse and chest pressure became intense. Headache, dizziness and vision changes soon followed. Put Allegra topical cream on welt and soon went away. Took prescription Pepcid for stomach, did nothing. Waited about 45 minutes...symptoms continued to worsen, so took OTC Allegra pill. Seemed to stop the reaction from worsening, but symptoms lasted for about 10 hours. Took my missed dose of Hydracodone 8 hours in. Symptoms much better 2 hours later. Though still have stomach bloat and my gums are sore and swollen. Throat painful and now congested. I drank 3 16oz. Bottles of water after first sign of reaction to flush drug out. Urine was heavy, but highly diluted. Very scary situation as I have never had an allergic reaction to anything before. Wanted to call 911, but it was late and I pondered that anxiety was likely worsening the symptoms. Calling doctor this morning and never taking this drug or it's like, again! | F | 45 | 1 days 500 mg | 2/7/2017 | 5 | BV (bacterial Vag) | I have had horrible side effects. The first 2 times I have taken it which would be every 12 hours, was great, had no side effects. Started taking it on a Wednesday, then on that thursday that night I woke up with horrible nausea. And I only feel some what nauseous during the day, but mostly at night. And we all know that's the worst feeling is getting woken up from your sleep feeling sick. I've been taking it for 5 days now and have two more nights to go. I was so tempted to just throw the medicine in the trash because it has taken a very big toll on my body. Also including it makes me very sleepy and when I sleep I wake up and feel sick. Put two and two together then that would leave you with I get very little sleep. Also it messed up my appetite... it'll make me feel hungry but when I eat I can't eat a lot like I used to when I was off this medicine. Whoever has BV prepare for hell because it's truly a fight to get through these 7 days. | Make sure you keep Dramamine on deck! Also. I forgot to tell why I have 5 stars. It does get rid of that horrible odor and the infection! Just the symptoms are aggravating. | F | 17 | 7 days 500 | 2/6/2017 | 1 | A bit nauseous, tired, low energy. | Dizzy, low energy, slightly nauseated. | M | 77 | 3 days 500 | 2/5/2017 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Horribly nauseous, dizzy, very lethargic, nasty taste in my mouth, tingling body | Was put on ciprofloxicin and this for mild diverticulitis for 10 days. Could not make it past day 3 on the metro. I will NEVER take this again!!! | F | 43 | 3 days | 2/1/2017 | 1 | Bv | Horrible dizziness nauseous feeling feel so sick can't function about to quit and I have 2 in a half days left :( almost made it but symptoms of bv gone pretty much | F | 7 days 500 | 2/1/2017 | 4 | BV | No side effects what so ever. | Worked really well. BV went away the day after starting the medication. I was worried because I had drank alcohol 24 hours prior to starting my dose but, I was fine. I waited 4 days to drink alcohol after ending them, after taking them for 7 days. | F | 27 | 7 days 500 MG 2X day | 12/30/2016 | 1 | BV | Nausea, weakness/pain in arms, bad insomnia, extreme bloating, bleeding, chills, negative thoughts, anxiety, loss of sex drive, oily skin, skin irritation, and itching all over the body. | I wish I could turn back the clock and not take this medicine. It has truly been hell for me. I was suppose to take it for 7 days but I couldn't stand the side effects. I contacted my dr and was told to stop. The side effects are horrible and are still here 2 days after I stopped taking it. I pray that my side effects go away soon. I have never felt so awful in my life. Normally I don't write reviews but I just need to share my experience about this medicine. I'm not even sure it got rid of my infection. I will never take metronidazole ever again! | F | 38 | 6 days 500 mg | 12/30/2016 | 5 | Bv | Metallic taste in mouth, urine and feces smell like antibiotics | Just took last dose this am. My bv smell is gone . The side effects are minor . Rather smell like antibiotics than fish! | F | 30 | 7 days 500mg | 12/23/2016 | 1 | BV | Panic attacks Anxiety Horrible taste Nausea Upset tummy Pain in joints Headache | 9days after taking this medication and I still feel awful! Panic feeling, nausea and extreme muscle and nerve pain will never take again!!! | F | 32 | 7 days | 12/20/2016 | 1 | Tooth abscess | Drugged, weak, depressed, tired but can't sleep, nightmares, feeling sick, exhausted,confused | I was given this drug as the amoxicillin I had originally been given wasn't working on its own. I only took 3 doses as the side effects are immediate and get worse with each dose, I have never had such a horrible medication and I have been given a lot over the years. I stopped taking it 28 hours ago and have been put on co-amoxiclav but I still feel awful and scared this feeling isn't go to go from reading other reviews. I'm hoping as I only took 3 that it will be ok I suffer with m e anyway and this feeling is awful. Can't look after my 1year old daughter and have so much coming up due to xmas and don't know how I'm going to do it. Please give me some feedback or info if u have any | F | 38 | 1 days 400mg | 12/12/2016 | 5 | Trich | Metallic taste white thick rash on tongue like thrush | F | 59 | 7 days 500 mg | 11/28/2016 | 1 | Diverticulitis | Lightheaded zombie feeling, stomach pains, tingling in feet, constipation, nausea, very drowsy type feel, sore dry eyes, horrible metallic taste. | Started it for diverticulitis and was told to take probotics with it but 2 hrs apart from the stuff so they didn't cancel themselves out. Can only say I thought Keflex was bad, this is like a nazi death drug in comparison. Not only does it obliterate every bacteria in your body, but 3 days after stopping my course I still feel exactly the same. It has certainly played with my brain! | M | 65 | 7 days 400 MG 3X day | 11/21/2016 | 5 | Bacterial vaganosis | Very sleepy, little dizzy nothing to major | This started working on day 2 the smell is gone and I feel more comfortable and confident about going out now the side effects are totally worth it | F | 21 | 7 days 400 mg | 11/9/2016 | 3 | Infection after tooth removal | Tiredness, sleeping through alarms, very bad nightmares | F | 33 | 5 days 200mg 3X day | 11/4/2016 |
