 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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
