User Reviews for Flagyl oral

After having strep and bronchitis and 2 antibiotics...just when I thought it couldn't get worse I developed c-diff. I'm glad I am getting better - so I guess I'm "satisfied". But I'm on day 8 of this medicine and on my way to work this morning I thought I was going to faint or have a seizure. My brain felt like it was on water. I couldn't focus on the road. VERY DANGEROUS and VERY SCARY. Luckily I could see my office when this happened...I was able to stop and let the episode pass. Be careful when taking this medicine. I've had dry mouth, loss of appetite, irritibility, fatigue...you name it - if its unpleasant.Read More Read Less

Worked very well to kill what cipro couldn't. Took both for 14 days. terrible problem swallowing: disintegrates instantly with ling lasting terrible taste. But better than the illness.

While this medication is effective, my doctor failed to mention that the second it touched my tongue, the pill would turn into feces. I dread every time I take this pill, and for good reason. The taste is so completely terrible, and it lingers with you throughout the day. Only moments ago, it got caught in my throat, and I got a full blast of the taste. I immediately vomited into the sink. Would it be too much to ask for a capsule? This is ridiculous.

I have been on this medication now for four days along with Flagyl, and although the medication is helping the problem, it is causing me terrible mustle pain, pain in my eyes, nauseatd, weak/tired, no taste buds, no appetite, low grade fever. I have six more days to be on this med, but will ask my doctor to change it. I also have no thyroid, and I feel it is depleteing everything out of me.

it made me light headed and had some nausea. the taste was horrible however taking it in a teaspoon of peanut butter helped a lot. overall it worked but was a problem taking it because of the taste.

Started with flagyl/Cipro combo and I feel horrible. I thought it was just me until i read the reviews wich are very helpful. Glad I am not alone in feeling this way. Bad taste,,horrible headaches,,no appetite at all and to drink water..ughhhh taste metallic. just terrible. Just cant deal with this any more... :-(

Ended up in the ER with my first case of Diverticulitis. Doc prescribed it along with Cipro. Horrible metallic taste, diarrhea (which is not too bad, since I also am eating yogurt and taking probiotics). I am now having severe hip pain, both hips. Not sure if this is related to the medication or my Fibromyalgia... I think I would rather have surgery than have to take these meds again...

Kind of worried about starting this drug after reading all the negatives.I think i just suffer with diarrhea and be done,not sure what to do.Will call my regular Doc on Monday.Thanks.

I rated this medication low for several different reasons. First of all, I've only been on the medication for 2 days. My dose is once 2 times a day for 7 days. I rated it ineffective because not only has the infection not even eased up, it's actually gotten WORSE! It's not easy to use (especially when you compare it to other typical oral medications) because it has a taste that could make you vomit in itself. Obviously I'm not satisfied at all. Would have been nice for the doctor to have warned me of the coming depression and sadness. At least I would have understood that it was a side effect to the medication. I really hope it works after all I've been through. And so far, I've read about 50 other reviews and haven't seen where anyone has complained about lower back pain which is another annoyance I have developed since starting this medication.

Severe mental confusion, loss of inhibitions, personality change, loss of body functions, dementia, memory loss

blows. hurt me badly.

I have red all comments for this pills and, probably, will be the first with my experience. Side effects were awful: nausea, loss of appetite, stomach pain. I was sleeping horrible, sometimes i had nightmares. I didnt drink any alcohol, didnt have any contact with boyfriend( he had to take some pills as well), and when i went to make final test-it was the same positive. Pills helped with NOTHING!!! After all i experienced-nothing!! My doctor adviced to have them the 2nd course..im dissapointed..Read More Read Less

I started this medicine yesterday. Oddly from the rest of the post I read, my doctor ordered me to take this medication in one dose--4 pills at once. He's very good in his field and has 3 GYN offices he works in every week. He also advised me to abstain from sex for a week and no alcohol and ...that I vaginosis is SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED in the form of traditional, anal and oral sex (if your partner has an infection in his mouth. Since I used condoms the only way I could have contracted it was through ORAL SEX! Scary...you have to be careful of whom you let perform oral sex on you. You can catch it through traditional sex if your partner either attempts or performs anal sex with you (or someone else) and then penetrate your vagina, if you are not wiping FRONT TO BACK after urinating or sitting in your own filth while taking a bath. ALWAYS SHOWER FIRST AND THEN ENJOY YOUR BATH! :) Hopes this helps.Read More Read Less

I have taken Flagyl more than once for recurrent bouts of diverticulitis, and it seems to have worked well overall, although I do tend to have some unpleasant issues with stomach upset and nausea from it. This usually starts around the 4th or 5th day, and lasts until I finish the prescription. If this med didn't work as well as it has, I would likely resist taking it, but it does do a good job treating diverticulitis, so I just put up with it...The diverticultits is far worse.

the best advice i can give to takeing this medication is to first put water in your mouth tilt your head back put the pill in and take anouther swig of water so the pill never touches your tong. the taste of this pill last forever but doing this i never taste it.

I have taken Flagyl several different times for my crohns and fistulas. It really does seem to work to get an infection under control, but the taste it leaves in my mouth is awful, makes me want to vomit. the only other symptom I've had from it is my tongue turning green...kinda like I've eaten something green, but I didn't...

I was on this drug for 4 weeks and the only bad thing aobut it is the aftertaste.

I am taking this medicine and this is my first time. I have had sever dizziness and the head aches. I am hoping once this dosage is done I am done with this. I have missed one day of work due to it. But the head aches are here every day!

I continue to get Bacterial Vaginosis. I have been on this medication several times and symptoms always clear up within the first few days and I have had no side effects at all. The only problem is that my infection is recurring which isn't the medication's fault but it's annoying.
