 4  Giardia Perisistant headache. Came on about half an hour after taking each dose and became quite debilitating as course continued. I expected some side effects because if the drug is strong enough to work, it will probably have side effects. Not nice but I can live with it. Taking 200mg 3x daily. If I were taking a stronger dose for longer I would have have to reconsider taking this drug. F 48 7 days

 4  Bacterial Vaginosis Stomache pain when I woke up, and minor chest pains. Thank God for this medicine. It's a little rough taking it, but it is surely showing a difference and I'm on my second day!The first night of taking the pill I felt a little loopy! Fell asleep really fast.. It does it's job, no questions asked!! F 22 2 days

 4  BV weakness, a slight metal taste in the mouth. didn't notice these symptoms until the sixth day, then i realized that i was strangely more tired and just felt funny overall every time i took it, so i looked it up. yup it must be a normal side effect! it did the job within 3 days of the 7 day long treatment, so i'm super happy! the only draw back to the med is that you can't take it and nurse, which i was at the time i went to the doctor. so i had to wait about 2 months to take it so i could slowly ween my two yr old. she wasn't very happy!

 3  Bacterial Vaginitis chest pains, chest palpitations, fluttering heart, shortness of breath, metallic taste in mouth, dizziness, disoriented (feeling dyslexic when typing a paper and spelling simple things wrong). I know it's a strong drug that works best for bacterial vaginitis, I just don't feel like dying of heart failure anytime soon. I'm gonna take it with bigger meals now and keep my beta blockers (got them for overactive thyroid) by me to slow heart rate down if it goes crazy from the drug. I'm currently on my 3rd day.

 4  Diverticulitis DREADFUL metallic taste, nausea, bloating, weakness, dizziness. It worked for me, BUT...It's the most awful drug I've ever taken. It's the second time I've been on this and I dread every dose! It seems to dissolve before even it even gets into my mouth, and leaves the most HORRIBLE taste that NEVER goes away. No matter if I take it with food or wash it down with a glass of liquid. The bloating and nausea are constant - I have to force myself to take each & every dose. And I have to take it 4 times a day for 10 days. The very least they could do is coat it with something. Yuk. F 56 10 days

 1  amoebas nausea, rapid heart beat, fatigue (a few steps and I'm exhausted) anxiety, depression, tingling/numbness in arms and legs (had to finish typing with one hand) I was prescribed 500 mg flagyl tid for 5 days. I consider myself an optimist but if my dr tells me that I have to be on it for another five days, I would rather not wake up. Luckily for me I'm able to separate my feelings from my actions.

 3  abdominal infection the absolute worst headaches of my life, coupled by nausea. The headaches were so bad I had to take double the pain medicine to relieve the pain for just 4 hours. Lymph nodes on my neck began to swell,, I quit the medicine 2 days before I should have. I have been off the meds for 2 days and the headache is still there, but much duller. It did help me feel better ask your doctor about alternatives, if there are any I was in the hospital and the IV form had the same effects. 2 days IV and 5 days orally. F 48 7 days

 4  Bacterial vaginitis Extremely tired, nausea, lack of energy & depression, headaches, lack of focus, darker urine color. This is the second time I have been on Flagyl and I don't remember the side effects being as bad the first time. The drug works but you have to pay the price it seems. I was prescribed a 7 day dose, but I am only on day 5 of the meds and I am going to stop taking them because I feel so awful. Between the depression, exhaustion and nausea I can barely live my life. 5 days has never taken so long..this has been rough. F 40 5 days

 5  Intestinal Parasites While taking: Headache, nausea, dizzyness, confusion/lack of concerntration, anything wet tasted like metal, fatigue, muscles twitching uncontrollably, depression. One day after: extreme fatigue, pain in muscles all over my body. I was taking 750mg 3x daily x 10 days. While it did it's job in killing the parasites, I felt like I was slowly being poisoned to death (to the point, I wanted to help it along LoL). I dreaded each and every dose. I could not enjoy life. I would go to work, come home and sleep until it was time to get up and go back to work. My doctor advised this medication would be "rough" (I am sorry I under-estimated him). I would not advised attempting to operate a vehicle while on this medicine. It proved very difficult with dizzyness, confusion and inability to focus... almost like driving drunk (if you have, shame on you! :-) ). I will leave you with this thought, if your doctor can give you something else other than Flagyl, I highly recommend you explore that option. M 28 10 days

 3  Bacterial/Yeast Infection Extreme depression. On the first 4 days everything was ok. Just the usual stomache aches & pains with antibiotics. By the 5th day I was having a few anxiety problems byt the 5th night I was having uncontrolable crying & felt horrible. 6th day I was very dehydrated, nauseated & passing out. This is when the depression kicked in real bad. Had to stop taking it at this point. Messed with my emotions extremely bad! If you do have depression problems tell your doctor because this is not the medicine for you! F 30 10 days

 5  Giardia diarrhea from the giardia. metallic taste from the flagyl, but that is it! taking 2 pills a day for 10 days of 500mg. could tell it was working after the 2nd day. i did not have any crazy side affects like the ones i have read on this site. this pill doesn't make you crazy or sicker people!!! if i were any of your spouses i would have you committed. if you have giardia or c-diff take this medicine! note, flagyl does not fix emotional problems nor does it cause any...get a grip! M 30 10 days
