| 1 | BV | Tender breasts/nipples, headaches, nausea/vomiting, depressed, stomach aches, right hip pain | i'm not sure if it's the medicine or what. i had intercourse the day before my cycle but my cycle ended up starting right after. very typical for it to start early for me. my cycle ended a day early, 4/5 was light started to turn pink/little bit of redness, then just plain light pink.. i then had after my cycle ended 2 days back to back. and then had to take bv again, (my partner is clean we both got checked) i'm not sure if you can conceive while on flagyl but the symptoms im having is having my mind wonder. i took a tests and the control window didn't show up it may be invalid i always keep some tests around it might have expired but i seriously don't know . i feel like maybe i could be infertile due to treatments… idk.. | F | 21 | 7 days 2X day | 12/4/2022 | 1 | Vaginal infection post hysterectomy | Severe insomnia that has still not resolved and I have been on medication for 3 weeks now. It started the second day on meds and progressively got worse. I figured it would go away once I got off meds but it has not. I also have a weird feeling/headache in head. While on meds I experienced stomach ache, nausea, diarrhea, awful metal taste, crying uncontrollably, depressed, exhausted but not able to sleep, lack of ability to concentrate, unsafe to drive. | I would never take this drug again. This has been life changing for me. I am hopeful that I can sleep again sometime but it has been 3 weeks off of it and I am still not able to sleep. My brain just feels off still. I have never had any history of depression or anxiety or insomnia in my life. I am scheduled to see a sleep specialist and a neurologist so I can hopefully get some help. | F | 43 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 5/18/2022 | 1 | bacterial vaginosis | This medication has ruined my health over the last 20 years. Lingering symptoms I still have include optic neuropathy, tendon pain, joint pain, extreme exhaustion, digestive issues, malaise, nausea, frequent migraines, head pressure, slurring/mixing up words, and feeling extremely unwell constantly. I went from a high achieving student with ambitions to someone who feels very unwell all the time constantly in pain. I have lived most of my life working part time or on disability because of how constantly unwell I feel. this is literal human poison and I wouldn't wish this nightmare on my very worst enemy. | If you have the internet at your fingertips (unlike I did when I took this poison) then you have no excuse to not do your research beforehand. Take at your own risk, it's a horribly poisonous drug and not a responsible choice to make for your health! | F | 47 | 7 days 1X day | 1/2/2022 | 5 | BV/trich | Cramps Sore nipples | Those experiencing pain and dark urine need to consume lots of water. I was experiencing both of those but noticed went away once ate prior to taking the medicine also literally need to drink like liter of water. You know you’ve had enough water once your urine is almost the same color as water | F | 35 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/29/2021 | 3 | Vaginal bleeding possible PID | Tender breasts, abdominal cramps and fluttering low down, tiredness and emotional episodes of crying. Negative pregnancy test so far. | F | 38 | 8 days 400mg 3X day | 12/11/2021 | 3 | BV | Nausea, metallic taste after taking medication, tender breast, nipple sensitivity, drowsiness, really bad headaches often, bad stomach cramps. | Seems to be helping but only on day 3 | F | 21 | 7 days 500 mg 2X day | 12/11/2021 | 5 | Bv | Bad taste in my mouth stomach pain sharp pain during sex extremely sore breast dark urine yeast infection From antibiotics | Cleared up my bacterial affection don't regret it just next time I'll use the cream way better no side effects but I can't complain helped me a lot it always does I usually get bv after my periods even though my hygiene is great so been using it for years I just mostly use the cream Another side effects as we know antibiotics can give you a yeast infection just something to think about | F | 28 | 7 days 2X day | 10/22/2021 | 1 | BV | Ice Pick Migraine, discombobulated, lack of motor function, irritability, worsening of tinnitus(at times complete black out of hearing in left ear), dizziness, fatigue, confusion, inability to concentrate, sensitivity to light and sound, disgusting taste in mouth similar to aura for severe migraines or possible temporal lobe epilepsy. Main problems with this medicine are with the head and the taste is so unbearable. | Had to take because apparently using baby wipes can cause BV, I have IBS-D so I have chronic diarrhea and needed the baby wipes. I will be using female friendly wipes from now on out and will take the medication to help the unpleasant symptoms of BV. But I feel like I'm dying. I am so unhappy and uncomfortable so this better be the help I need, I have used other medication for BV which had no side effects but did not get rid of the problem. I am taking with probiotics, and also take bentyl for my ibs-d. This is the worst experience I've had with any medicine ever. I had to leave work early and couldn't function.the irritability is worse than when I quit smoking cigarettes after 4 years of daily smoking. | F | 22 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 3/9/2021 | 4 | Bv | I experienced headaches, not hungry and sick to stomach and nipple soreness. I also had to pee a lot | It helped with my bv and all the symptoms after the first day of taking the pills. | F | 18 | 7 days 500 2X day | 2/16/2021 | 5 | BV | Breast pain and nipple sensitivity. Frequently urinating. Ovarian cramping. Metallic taste when taking the medication. | Worth all of the above symptoms to take care of the problem. | F | 43 | 7 days 30 2X day | 11/18/2020 | 5 | Bv | Tender breast,fatigue,pain in obdomen,feel sick,as if I'm pregnant,got three red spots under my feet,nauseous | It does work quickly,most effective really a good medication.but jess the side effects nearly kills me. | F | 45 | 10 days 500 3X O | 10/27/2020 | 1 | Infection | Breast tenderness, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, stomach pain, depression, dry cough, nose stopped up, just over all feeling of something being wrong with me | I need the medicine to get rid of the infection which it is helping alot. But the side effects are awful. I have 3 days left but I will not take this again. | F | 46 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 10/25/2020 | 5 | BV | Personally, I didn't have any issues with this pill, I made sure I ate before and after I took the pill. The time that I didn't eat after taking the pill I experienced blurred vision, felt nauseous, and my breast started to hurt. I really didn't feel like myself. | Make sure you eat when taking these pills. | F | 20 | 7 days 500 2X day | 9/6/2020 | 3 | UTI, BV | I have experienced very bad stomach pains and very nauseous. I feel like I’m pregnant but I hope not to be and it's just the side effects. My nipples are sore and they hurt and feel sensitive when I touch them. My stomach gets really bloated and it’s annoying. I keep wanted to use the restroom and it’s just been weird. | I think this medicine is pretty strong and you should be careful with it. I'm curious as to know if thus could cause a miscarriage ? I would actually be interested in talking to someone about this. Anyways thank you | F | 17 | 1 weeks 500mg 1X day | 8/27/2020 | 1 | BV | This made me feel pregnant!! Literally triggered my anxiety worse ( I smoke marijuana & it triggered paranoia as well ) , sore boobs, nausea didn't start until day 5 of taking it, crazy cramps all over my abdomen, slight headaches, BLURRY VISION, it made me pee A LOT the first 5 days of taking it, then that slowly tapered away back to normal. I finished the treatment 4 days ago & still feel a little bit of each of those symptoms. | This sh*t is horrible . Consider the vaginal gel before the pill for sure ! | F | 20 | 7 days 500MG 2X day | 7/31/2020 | 1 | BV | Nausea, abdominal pains, SOB, fast heart rate, severe headache, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, swollen tongue, dry mouth and throat | 2 days after taking medication my tongue was still swollen had trouble swallowing and breathing. | F | 22 | 7 days 500MG | 5/11/2020 | 3 | BV | Horrible burning/itching sensation in my anus & vagina. | F | 31 | 1 days 4 pills | 5/8/2020 | 1 | BV | This is the WORST medicine I have ever taken in my life. I do not recommend anyone taking this. I have migraines, sharp pains in my vaginal area and legs, very sore/tender nipples, night sweats, dizziness, feelings of stress, late menstrual cycle and tired frequently. This medicine was not worth the side effects I am experiencing now. I want to cry because I didn't know that I would have to go through all of this. I don't know how long I'm going to last with all these symptoms. | Get a second recommendation or something other than this death pill. | F | 35 | 7 days | 4/8/2019 | 1 | BV | Increased stress, heart palpitations, increased HR, extreme dizziness, leg & arm weakness. Went to the ER bc the side effects were so bad. Will NEVER take this again. Feel blindsided bc I was not warned of any of these serious symptoms. Will be doing more research from here on out.. | F | 27 | 3 days 500 2X W | 7/15/2018 | 1 | Giardia | Vision loss, weight loss, peripheral neuropathy, | Flagyl wrecked me. I was a very healthy woman with a very healthy lifestyle. I started having some odd symptoms was sent to a GI doctor and prescribed this poison. Now, 4 months later weighing only 110 pounds, several trips to ERs all over the USA (pain started in Las Vegas, I thought I had a stress fracture in my foot) for peripheral neuropathy with pain so bad I actually cry out. Honestly, I previously thought the only time you cry out in pain is when you are in labor or just got shot. Wrong, just take Flagyl and wait. My foot started tingling while I was taking it. Now, its to the point of constant shooting/burning pain from my right foot up to my back. My ortho doctor had me out of work with a walking boot on and knee scooter for mobility because he too thought it was a stress fracture. This whole time its been peripheral neuropathy. I cannot believe nerve pain hurts this much. I feel I am going insane. Nothing shows on xrays and no doctors believe how much pain I am in and how drastically my life has changed. In addition to the nerve pain I also had terrible blurred vision while taking it and I have gone from 20/20 vision to bifocals in 4 months. I am living my own worst nightmare. | F | 43 | 10 days 500 2X day | 5/4/2017 |
