User Reviews for Flagyl oral

Acute diverticulitis. Cancer patient. The worst drug to ever have to take. Abdominal pain is as bad as Chemo induced treatments. I just want to die.

This is one of the worst things you can put in your body. Awful side effects that leave you traumatised for life. Literal poison. Hearing problems, heart pain, bloody stool and urine, fever, worst depression/anxiety episodes, testicular pain and problems breathing. Never trusting pills ever again.

This is the worst drug I have ever taken. The pain from this medication is worse than the infection after 7 days I still have severe pain and I believe it's from this antibiotic do not take this medicine!

I never review medications but this antibiotic put me into a panic like I’ve never had before. I generally have baseline anxiety but the last week, I have had non stop panic attacks, dissociation, brain fog, confusion, dizziness, “glazed” look on my face, nausea and no appetite. I genuinely considered going to the ER for my panic three different times, but luckily had medication on hand to help me before it got to that point. It felt like an utter feeling of doom and no way out. I usually get anxiety (not panic) attacks once a year IF THAT. Please be careful with this medication if you do have baseline anxiety - I literally felt like I was going crazy. Second full day off of the antibiotic and I feel less dissociative but still groggy and just overall not right. Hoping to recover more as time goes on. Read More Read Less

Treated for asymptomatic “BV” along with a bad UTI. This medication burned a chemical trail through my GI tract and sent me to the ER after pill number 2. I broke an arm , and an ankle, and had a bulging disc and none of that can compare to the pain I had from the gastritis that developed. I’m sure this medication is great for prolific parasite burdens but it is not appropriate for asymptomatic BV. I now have terrible gastritis that has kept me out of work for three days and I have my first ever yeast infection. This med is way over prescribed for mild infection. Read More Read Less

I had a pap come back with BV, didn't really have any symptoms showing though. Doctor prescribe 500mg twice a day for 7 days. I didn't experience any symptoms from taking the medication until about day 3, started with getting nauseous, very bad headaches and upset stomach/diarrhea. Those 3 symptoms continued on day 4, along with a horrible horrible taste in my mouth and I noticed I was extra sleepy. I experienced ALL of those for the remaining of the time while taking the medication. I've been off the medication for 2 days now and that bad taste in my mouth still won't go away, along with the headaches. As I'm sure the medication might have worked for the BV but I don't think I will take it again because of the side effects. I honestly could deal with the nausea and upset stomach. However, I could not deal with the really bad headache's and the nasty taste in my mouth. I thought once I was done with the 7 days all my symptoms would go away.Read More Read Less

My side affects were terrible. On day 3 (500mg) I was vomiting and had diarrhea every 20 minutes for 12 hours until I missed my next dose and stopped taking it. I literally slept on the bathroom floor while my body purged itself along with the worst stomach pains I’ve ever had. I immediately stopped taking the medicine because I refuse to deal with that for 4 more full days. Along with the stomach issues my fever peeked at 100.7 with a constant raging headache. Such a terrible experience. :(

I have never had side effects with any other med like I did metro. Please take another medication if it is available. Be sure to read warnings for psychosis and central nervous system issues before taking. A couple of days after finishing this, I had I complete mental breakdown. It felt like adrenaline was rushing through my body. I couldn't watch tv, I couldn't play on my phone, I couldn't concentrate anything. I was so anxious and felt so out of body with brain fog, I almost wanted to admit myself. I started getting like internal tremors and them heart started racing like crazy. I went to the ER because I felt so "off" I had two episodes in the ER of SVT which has never happened to me before. I also had another episode once I got home. I've been off metro for about a month now and thankfully I feel like most of my symptoms have resolved but theres actually a FB group for people that have been destroyed by this medication. So I consider myself lucky. I will never take another medication again without doing research. I also will never take metro again unless my life absolutely depends on it- even then..idk. This drug can really mess some people up. I'm not saying it will do the same for you, but please do research & take thiamine and magnesium while taking it as it depletes your body of these causing central nervous issues. My SVT issues have also resolved which leads me to believe it was also caused by the drug. Read More Read Less

I had parasites from a recent surf trip to Mexico. This medication got rid of them. I don't understand all complaints about the taste of the pill (?) or the small discomfort it causes. It's medicine that works. Do they think chemotherapy is fun? Take your medicine and get healthy. I'm sure glad my doc prescribed this.

This was my second time being prescribed this antibiotic. I don’t recall any issues previously but this time round has been horrendous. I’ve had all the listed side effects from palpitations to stomach issues, feeling queasy and horrible headaches. I’ve not found the taste of the tablet to be an issue but noticed it has just made me feel very nauseous after having a dosage. I’ve been very tired and having to nap during the day due to low energy and earlier today had an awful experience where I felt my chest pains were so painful and my body felt it was just shutting down. Had to lay in bed with a hot water bottle and just wait for it to pass. Was on the verge of calling for an ambulance. It’s been an awful week and I’ve had to throw the towel in. After 5 and a half days. I was supposed to take them for 7 days but don’t think I can continue any more. Not sure why it affects some people more than others but I’ve really struggled with it this time. Strangely don’t recall any issues like this last time I was on them so confused Read More Read Less

I literally just took my last pill today! 15 days, 4 times a day. (2000 mg) per day! This medicine is AWFUL! The taste is unbearable and never leaves your taste buds, which made me not want to eat a lot of the time and the taste of certain foods was nasty! Headaches! Nausea, Sleepy, CRAZY! I told y husband I was gonna go outside and beat my head on the brick wall a couple times because I didn't want to take it. That's how frustrating this medicine is. GROSS! This can't be good for you? I'm with others here too, why can't they just coat it? I hope it worked for my issue and I never EVER have to take it again, because I may have to deny it! it's that gross, but I powered through it. My poor husband had to hear about it and deal with me daily on this! He is a trooper! Read More Read Less

I was on this medication for a month or two and since I didn’t do my research I trusted my PCP with their recommendations on using this for a longer period of time. This medication ended up destroying the bad bacteria and the good bacteria in my gut. So of course even more sinister bacteria showed up with no good guys to protect my gut and I got C. DIFF… TWICE!! By far the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. Yeah, it got rid of the BV. But I got something else in return. My gut hasn’t been the same since. I do not recommend this medication at all. Do your research and don’t end up like me…Read More Read Less

Pap come back BV-had no symptoms though. 2x a day for 7 days 500mg pill was prescribed. I'm currently on day 4... Day1: slight stomach cramping, no appetite. Day2: slight stomach cramping, very small headache didn't require headache medicine, no appetite. Day3: slight headache, a hour of dizziness, no appetite. Day 4: Headache, just feel ugh, nauseated, really tired for no reason. Almost like a small tummy virus feeling. I read reviews on here before hand so I'm thankful it hasn't been to bad, Just a few days left so I'll stick it out. Eat big meals before taking pill it helps to keep from being overly nasuated and swallow pill fast to avoid gross taste lol. Hope anyone reading my review gets better quickly and best wishes for a side effect free time on this medication :). Read More Read Less

Worst drug on the market. Do not take it! Flagyl made my hands, wrists, arms and ankles immobile. My joints were inflamed and I was in so much pain. I wouldn't recommend this drug to my worst enemy. It does nothing but harm to your body. Do.Not.Take!

Numbness in hands and feet and stomach pain

After reading the reviews of other people's experiences taking this medication, I was absolutely terrified!! I had to take this for vaginosis and trichomoniasis. This was the first time I had ever had to experience something like this so I was already scared and the reviews made it even worse. If you are reading through the reviews terrified, please allow me to reassure you that you will be fine! It cured me completely and here I am months later living a happy life! Just be sure to avoid anything with ALCOHOL OR PROPYLENE GLYCOL. Like mouthwash and some toothpastes etc. I do wonder if that had something to do with some people's said side effects. Read ingredients for everything. Take it with FOOD and stay HYDRATED! You got this!! ?? Read More Read Less

I am taking this medicine for BV and I am noticing a huge change in my discharge and smell, they are going away??. This medicine does not taste or feel good but the outcomes are really good. Sisters please do not stop taking this medicine if you feel sick after taking it. Somethings that helped me are I am taking it with full meal, drinking lots of water and avoiding sugars and caffeine. Hopefully it works for everyone and god gives you the strength to bear.

11 months after stopping medication, left with nerve damage, muscle atrophy and paralysis. This antibiotic ruined my life. Do not take unless you have a life threatening issue.

I experienced vomiting and dizziness for a day and a half after taking one pill.
