User Reviews for Flagyl oral

I've been taking this medication for 2 days now and so far so good. I know it's strange but within 24 hrs my symptoms got allot better. The itching was the worse. Now on day 2 and almost all symptoms are gone. I had no bad odor to begin with but had pain in that area big time. I take one pill x 2 a day. I haven't noticed a bad taste yet. I do take with something to eat and so far no nausea or dizziness. I have seemed kinda moody and depressed though slightly. A girl in the ER told me a house hold remedy she does faithfully and hasn't had any yeast or anything like this in years is to get vinegar..white or apple cider and mix about 2 tablespoons in a glass of sweet tea and drink about once a week or twice a week she said vinegar automatically kills bacteria in the body. She swears by it. I thought it's worth a try and cheap enough what can it hurt. Also she said you can put some on a wash cloth and wipe down there to help with the itching. I was afraid of the burn being everything was all inflamed so I haven't done that. LOL I just thought I'd pass this on.. I think it's worth a try. So far this medicine has helped and was 9.99 at Walgreens with no insurance. I do have the Walgreens card though... I am 45 and have only one partner for the past 7 years. Makes me wonder what he's been up to though..He better be glad it vaganosis and not Trick....Read More Read Less

I had a great deal of nausea while taking this drug. But find it effective.

Yesterday was my last day of taking this medicine (1 pill, 2 x per day for 7 days). I am so glad to be off this medicine. As with everyone else, the taste is the first thing I noticed. Not just when taking the pill but for hours afterward. Everything tasted bitter. Around day 2 or 3 I started having panic attacks (which I've had before but not for the last 2 years). I thought I was just having a relapse but then I noticed that some other people on here have experienced depression and other mood problems so I am hopeful that now that I am done taking the Flagyl that the anxiety and panic attacks will go away. I also experienced the naseousness and the loss of appetite. Read More Read Less

I was given this in combination with Levaquin by the doctor in the ER I visited 4 days ago, due to extreme pain following a colonoscopy (they believed I had a bowel infection). While the original pain has lessened considerably, the side effects are making me completely miserable. Nausea, total fatigue and dizziness. After speaking to my G.I. doc, he told me I could stop taking it and remain on the Levaquin or the remainder of the course (6 more days). I don't want the infection to return, but don't think I can handle the side effects anymore. Has anyone stopped this med before the end of the course? A little nervous (even though doc told me it would be fine)...Read More Read Less

I had to take 4 pills at once and i only had a slight headache and dizziness after taking them, the after taste is the only thing that i hate. overall so far so good.

I've taken flagyl in combination with Cipro for diverculitis on 3 separate occasions over a two-year period. I too have experienced stomach upset, tiredness, and unpleasant taste. Why doesn't it come in capsules???

The pill started to dissolve as soon as I placed it on my tongue and tastes horrible. I have had a metallic taste in my mouth for the 7-day duration of treatment and so far 3 days afterward. I think that I also have a case of thrush now, which is more bothersome than the vaginal itching I was having before I took the Flagyl.

This medication seems to be effective for me, but the headaches, dizziness, and nausea are really bad. I woke up this morning to the ceiling spinning above me (and seeing images of two cats when I only have one!). I am thankful that I'll only have to take it for 7 days, and that the infection will be gone by then. Everyone must weigh the pro's and con's of taking the medication for their individual cases. For myself, getting rid of this infection is important, so I can put up with the uncomfortable side effects for 7 days. My only suggestion for those reading this is to swallow the pill fast, because it tastes terrible, and take with food.Read More Read Less

First of all I have to say that this medication did serve it's purpose. I had diverticulitis which in turn absessed & burst in my intestines. But, I do believe I had EVERY since side effect you can get. I had to take 4 times a day for 2 weeks & it was awful. I was always dizzy, everything I ate tasted hot & spicy (which toook around a month to clear up and change), my urine was dark brown & strong smelling, & I hardly had any kind of appetite. Only "good" thing I got out of takng this med besides helping clear up my infection is a very nice & dark suntan after being outside due to increased sensitivity to the sun. My side effects may have been a little worse because I also received this in an IV 6 times a day for a week while in the hospital. Did it's job just no fun whatsoever to take.Read More Read Less

While I do believe that the medicine is working, I dread taking it! It has a HORRIBLE taste that I have to chase with either cookies or yogurt and today I have discovered that it has turned my urine amber-brown!

I started to feel better after the third day. I noticed the symptoms during my monthly cycle, i.e. itching and odor. I drank PLENTY of water while on this medication and I didn't have any side effects. The only complaint, the LOUD fishy odor that is very difficult to mask. The was spragmatic.

Smell of poo in nose & smell in belly button

Horrible!!! Nightmares, depression, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, hands going to sleep 12x a day, insomnia, weakness, and tastes like I'm sucking on burnt pennies and rusted nails! Day 7 of 14, 500mg 3x a day, and I can't take it anymore!! I feel like I've got radiation poisoning, and I'm going back to Dr. in morning... I will NEVER take this evil antibiotic again!! I'd rather be dead!!

My last bout with divertiulitus resulted in a perferated bowel..one month later in the hospital again..no perferation..will have the surgery..taking flagyl and levaquin for 3 weeks till surgery...joints are killing me,,I hardly have the strength to open the prescription bottles..wish I could sleep 2 weeks till the surgery..I will say this,,after the first attack,,when the antibiotics were finished..about 3 days later I felt better than I had in years..

I took them 2x/day for a week...no appetite, felt nauseous after exercising, just feel all around lousy...although to get around the metallic taste, I just put the pill on a spoon in jelly and took a shot of jelly chased it with water--worked wonderfully. bam! no metallic taste! just the all around crappy feeling all week still lingering afterwards...

Have taken before so didn't give it a thought when I started w/diarrhea. Progressively has worsened. I have spent a week in Hell. Associated it w/this drug when my inner thighs became very red and inflammed. I finished the drug Wed and this is Fri. Hope the rash clears up soon. If you get diarrhea-don't wait to call your DR.

I took a combination of Levaquin and Flagyl for one dose. I have never been so sick. I had muscle pain and stiffness and the pain was so intense I could not walk. Upon returning to the doctor, they discontenued both and diagnosed me with RA on top of diverticulitis. It has been months now and I still feel terrible...have pain throughout my body and am generally ill.

I have been on this medicine going on my 4th day, and I have to say I was scared to death after reading all of the past post. I actually had the medicine a full week pryor to taking it. I decided to take the medicine, and boy am I glad I did. I have only had one side effect, and it is very mild. I feel a bit tired as the day goes on. By the first day I could already tell a difference. My biggest complaint of course was the smell, as I have never had anything like that before. I have been with a new partner for now over 8 months and actually noticed a slight smell about 3 months into the relationship. But being that I have never had this problem, I just thought it was from all the sweating...lol sorry :) But as with any women, we know its not suppose to have that type of stinch. So again after reading almost every post, I have only one comment to make. Each person is different, what works for you may not work for me and vise versa. I feel like a fool for not taking this soon after the DR prescribed it. So again, I will have to say that, sometimes reading too much about something is not a good thing. Oh and by the way, the drinking while on this MUST be true as, Dr told me not to drink, and when I picked the pills up, 2 different Pharmist told me the same, thing. So guess what no 99 cent Margaritti for me for a while! But it is so worth it by not having that smell! I hope this helps someone out there.Read More Read Less
