User Reviews for Flagyl oral

This medication made me very sleppy. I also had headaches and a little nausea. Take with a meal. I started seeing results after Three days of taking meds. My biggest problem was I could not drink alcohol during and two days after. Do not take if your going on vacation : )

I was on a 7 day treatment that was filled with horrible night terrors and much fatigue. I was so happy I had vacation time. I didn't come off the couch for 2 days. Ugh! I am using clindamycin next time

This medication gave my mom such bad side effects it warranted a warning to all reading...don't take this. It has been a nightmare. It sent her into a chemical depression among all of the other bad side effects listed.

when on flagl i experienced dizziness , sleepiness , and also tingling and nunming sensations on my left arm that gradually are going away

The emergency room did not test a culture and treated me for bacteria from well water (even though I told them I don't drink the water). I felt worse on the medication and after 7 days, I am still in the same condition, possibly worse. I now have clumps of blood instead of diarrhea. I stayed nauseated the entire time, which I did not have a problem with prior to taking the med.

I experienced severe side effects w/cramping, dizziness, chills, sweats, joint pain. By day 3, had to have CT scan due to feeling of appendicitis. Joint pain made me think I had arthritis. I felt worse with it than without it. Not recommended. Now I have a cancer risk due to CT scan w/contrast. Just stop taking it. Not worth the risk.

I had surgery, and the incision got infected. I took an antibiotic that cleared up that infection, but it got rid of the good bacteria, leaving me open to another infection. I have the same side effects as listed above. I talked to my doctor today, and he cut the dose in half. He told me there is no alternative. It has helped, but I am still miserable. The dry heaves in the middle of the night are the worst.

swelling in lip &eye

The only problem I haave had so far is sick stomach and headaches.

I have been using this med for a while, I have experienced many side effects. But I still have some pain around the area (an extracted wisdom tooth)and a little swelling. I am going to give it a few more days and see where I am after my last dose today. Just as an aside I was also taking another antibiotic at the same time for the same condition.

I am glad I read this site today, this is my fifth day on this medication and I am at my wits end with the nausea, I had called the doctor twice and she told me to break up my 500 mg pills into 2 and take with food and milk. It helps a little but I cannot wait for these last 3 pills to be done. I had severe vomiting on the 3rd day. Feel tired all the time and bloated and I am a very active person. Hope I never have to take this again. Good thing I read this I knew about not having a drink for 3 days but I did not know the consequeneces, last thing I want to do is be sick ince I am done with this.Read More Read Less

this med i have taken so far for 2 day and has made me very sick, cant eat. fatige.

I am a transplant patient and have been trowing up with diarrhea, stomach cramps, and was in the hospital for three days. I am on Flagyl/Cipro and like so many of the reviews I have seen here,I am have some fatigue,nauseaous,stomach pain,dizziness,dry mouth,high blood sugar readings,,dark urine,can't sleep. But have to be extra careful of what I take because I am a transplant patient.

I recently diagnosed with Diverticulitis on 8/22. I have had diverticoloutus for over 6 years & it just developed into Diverticulitis. My doctor put me on Cipro & Flagyl. So far so good as the pain has decreaesd. I will go back tomy doctor on 8/29 to see if it has gotten better. I think it has however I am not a Doctor.

I took this med several years ago for 7 days and do not remember the side effects being this bad, but I have been taking methotrexate for a couple of years so my immune system is compromised, don't know if that's why the s/e are so bad but makes sense to me. Good to know the horrible taste in my mouth is common with this med. Doesn't make it any better but at least I know what's causing it. Also is causing bloating, stomach cramps, flatulance, dizziness, headache, insomnia and some palpitations. This is only day 4 of a 14 day prescription, I am not having fun, however the nasty vaginal discharge has gone away so I shall continue to the bitter (and I DO mean bitter end). I don't want to create a super bug. Read More Read Less

I am allergic to the penicillin based ulcer treatments so I am on this with tetracycline. I have stomach problems so they give me drugs that give me worse stomach problems. I have felt terrible throughout this course including dizziness, nausea, lose stool, sleeplessness and loss of appetite. These better work because I feel worse on them than I do without.

While on this medicine (along with Ciproflaxin) I could not sleep or force myself to eat anything. It worsened my diarrhea and made me incredibly dizzy. I kept falling over and losing my balance and having strange moments where I would just black out for a millisecond. Though it may have cleared up the infection in my intestines I really regret taking this medication. From now on I am going to tell doctors that I am allergic to it.

My husband it taking this along with cipro for bowel infection.It makes him nauesated,However it is working!
