User Reviews for Flagyl oral

I think this has caused me to be very depressed!! I didn't know this medicine could cause this until I read the reviews. Hopefully, I will get back to normal.

I'm on the 3rd day of of the RX and feel as if I've been spinning on a merry ground since I got out of bed this morning. Not as fun as I remember as a kid!

Severe stomach bug for over 2 & a half weeks with nausea and severe diarreah.Given the 4 tabs at once treatment worked for a day then infection came back. Am now on a 5 day course and its my 3rd day starting to feel better.Doctor said initial treating doctor did not treat quickly enough therefore infection terribly strong plus weak body due to little nutrition. Only side effects have been a bit of nausea slight headache and heart palpitations from time to time but think that is because Im so weak. Happy with results so farRead More Read Less

after taking this medication for 3 days I got hives on my face....

On my 3rd day and so far no side effects, other than being a bit more tired than usual. This medication does have a nasty taste, so I took it with milk which seemed to wash away the bad taste. I drank half the glass upon swallowing the pill, then chugged the rest after a short breather. I also made sure I ate when taking this medication to avoid an upset stomach. I haven't had any alcohol while taking this medication as advised by my doctor, due to the fact that if you drink while taking this medication you will vomit, so I stayed away.Read More Read Less

Flagyl first prescrided by regular M.D., infection rebounded, then went to a gynecologist who prescriced the same med. Same results as before. Growth of Strep B vaginitis has been retarded both times, but then rebounded. I feel this medication has not worked for condition.

This Drug works for Me-very Strong Drug, tho! DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL w/ this Drug!! I haven't but I'm just Warning everyone out there in case You are on it now! My Symptoms disappeared w/in 24 to 48 hours of taking this Drug!! Very effective. Still on this & WILL BE until I'm FINISHED w/ it!

Severe Hives With This Medicine. I took Flagyl once for a Bladder Infection and another time for Vaginosos. RX was 2X Daily for 7 days. Both times on the 8th or 9th day after taking, I broke out into severe hives all over my body. My Doctor said this was impossible to have hives AFTER using a medicine, He said normally hives would occur at the ONSET of taking the medication. But I'm living proof that this can happen. I didn't make the connection that it was Flagyl causing Hives until I reviewed my Medical Records. The first time I broke out into Hives was a couple of days after finishing Flagyl for the prescribed 7 days. Read More Read Less

Treated with flagyl for bacterial overgrowth. 2nd day i felt great. Since then horrible. EXTREMELY tired like i could sleep forever and dizzy and had nausea. Is there a better medication for treatment?

I was a little reluctant about taking this medication because I have IBS. I'm currently taking Citrucel as directed by my doctor. The nurse suggested that I take this medication with yogurt. I took it with the Activia drinkable yogurt. I had no problems at all. From time to time, I did feel dizzy and nauseous. The hardest part for me was not being able to "cocktail". I do hope they come up with another alternative to this medicine. There has got to be a better way!

When I first started this drug, I felt sick to my stomach, and fatigue. I felt lousy. At the recommendation of the pharmacist, on the third day, I began to take probiotics. What a difference that made. My side effects diminished greatly! My infection symptoms began to clear on the 2nd day of taking medication.

I will never take this medicine again. Nausea, diareha, dizziness and headaches everyday I have folowed all the directions take with food, full glass of water, no alcohol- it has been a long week! However, my symptoms have cleared up- there has got to be a better way!

I have been taking 4 times a day for 10 days. Pills are very bitter. Must take with food and milk to keep the taste from bouncing back. Caused enough dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue to be unable to work/drive. Dark urine. It seems to have done the job, but at a cost.

It's strange but I am usually very prone to side effects yet have experienced none when on this medication, aside from the metallic taste in my mouth, which chewing gum fixes. I have taken this medication for 3 week intervals 8 or so times in my life.

If you do not mind insomnia, depression, skin color change, and bloat (like you wont believe), as well as weight gain- go for it. NOT!

I have been taking flagyl for 6 days for the treatment of a amoebic dysentry. I has been doing its work, but it is hard to tell because of the side effects, loss of appetite,bad sense of taste and loose stools (which is from the infection also). Four more days of treatment. Must have had a real bad infestation. Had it ten days before got results of stool test(so the parasite had quite a grip I guess.

This is the third time I have taken this medication. It worked the first two times but has been entirely ineffective this time. The taste is always terrible and you should hope you never get one stuck in your throat; the taste will haunt you for hours! I have had constant nausea, sudden ravenous hunger, loose stool, dizziness, and fatigue. Not to mention that you can't even use mouthwash (which would be nice when you consider the bad taste it causes in your mouth constantly) due to the no alcohol condition. Does anyone want side effects just as bad or worse than their symptoms? Read More Read Less

Still taking for 10 days, 3 times a day. Very bitter. I am extremely tired, feel totally drugged and many times have that sea sickness feeling.

This medication was prescribed to treat a severe yest infection, 2x/day for 7 days. At first, I felt much better and symptoms went away. However, after the third day I started feeling very tired, dizzling, constant nausea, metalic mouth taste, and I can't concentrate at work. I really want to stop taking this tablets. Even the thought of having to take it makes me feel sick. I never experienced something like this with an antibiotic. Reading through the posts here helped me to understand that these are common side effects. I hope I don't get any reverse effects or more yeast infections. This treatment has been difficult. Too much of a pain for just a yeast infection.Read More Read Less
