User Reviews for Flagyl oral

Flagyl exhausted me. While on this drug, I ended up sleeping roughly 10 hrs/night, and waking up with fevers and bizarre dreams throughout the night. I was constantly tired. It does the job though, since it cured my horrible traveler's diarrhea quickly. I just wish I knew it was the cause of my other ailments so I could have stopped taking it sooner.

Am now on the fifth day taking this medication for enlarged lymph nodes under the jaw line that had to be drained and an infected toothe that was root canalled 6 mos.ago.I had no other indication of infected toothe other than the enlarged lymph nodes.The toothe was removed but I'm wondering about another source of infection since there wasn't any infection actually around the toothe.Have experienced bad taste in mouth,dizzines,nausea,general fatigue,general ill feeling . This drug has a large array of conditions it's used for. Can't believe there isn't another that will do the job but without the endless side affects.Read More Read Less

I took the ucombination of Flagyl/Cipro for Diverticulitis with 10 days 4X per day for the Flayl generic. Had to stop the Flagyl due to constant pains in stomach that radiates. Doctor change me from Flagyl to Amox. Was advsed by Pharmacy that Flagyl is terrible on the stomach. No idea if the pain was caused by Flagyl or Cipro.

Was diagnosed with C.Diff of the intestine after taking antibiotic. I have had to take it for 30 days 3 time a day with a probiotic med. It makes you feel horrible. Its almost like you are always on the verge of getting the flu but never happens. Ive had fevers with it and just feel totally fatigued. It is rough but you have to do what you have to do.

Taking this drug for a week twice a day cured the bacterial infection, then I had four years of hell. I didn't know what yeast infections were because I'd never had one. This drug resulted in one and initial vaginal creams allowed a drug resistant strain to take advantage of the common yeast strain being killed. If you get a yeast infection, it's worth asking for ketaconozole, rather than accepting other anti fungals which are effective for only the most common candida strains. After a course of an anti fungal, buy both vaginal and systemic probiotics. Hopefully you won't have the four years of sheer misery it took me to get rid of Candida clobarta. The drug also wiped out my immune system and I suffered bronchitis and conjunctivitis within three weeks. Some years later I needed a d&c and guess what? This wonderful antibiotic was going to be prescribed post op. Over my dead body! The surgeon got in touch with the immunologist who treated the yeast infection and agreed an antiseptic wash would be better. Read More Read Less

headache, diareah. no appetite, dizzy, nausea

after suffering for 2 months with no other treatment helping, my doctor finally gave me this medication and i experienced complete relief from the diarrhea within hours. the taste is beyond bad, but is greatly diminished if taken in applesauce.

I started the meds on Tuesday and have 3 days left. This medication has made my feel extremely tired. Also, I normally have coffee in the morning and since taking this medication I have been using the bathroom every 10 minutes. I feel the urge to pee constantly and it is very annoying. I thought it was the coffee, but its everything I drink. I even called my doctor to see if it could be a UTI and since there are no UTI symptoms it is just from my meds. It is my first time taking this and I really do not want it again. Read More Read Less

I wanted to respond to NEEDADVISEBAD "cry for help". I totally know what your going through. I've had this problem for years but I never knew what it was. I just found out today! I always thought I just had yeast allergens, but come to find out that's not the case. Since I started noticing symptoms I kept going to the doctor and they would always treat me for a yeast infection. Right after I got done with the medication it would get even worse. So I gave up with the doctors and started doing my own research. And I found a site that talk about bacterial infections and they said that studies have shown that taking antibiotics makes the infection worse. They had mentioned a natural supplement called Acidophilus. So I started taking it every day. With in a couple of weeks I started to notice a change in my skin and how I felt over all. I felt better. That was almost 10 years ago. Granted I have to live on the pills to stay "healthy", other wise, like now, I havent been taking it for a couple of months and now I have an infection again.

I have been taking the med for 3 days now. i was prescribed it 2X a day for 7 days. I cant believe I didnt go on here sooner. I m very tired, dizzy and my headaches are aweful. At first I thought it was my allergies. Now reading the comments I know its not. My symptoms are gone already but concerned when I can have a alcoholic drink. I really dont want to take this anymore considering the side effects.

The nausea was difficult-I vomited two of the doses as soon as they hit my stomach, even with food prior to ingestion. The metallic taste that lingers in my mouth is incredibly disgusting. I am also taking cipro-maybe the combo? But that's what was prescribed.

I was diagnosed with clostridium difficile following a "stomach bug," which was causing severe diarrhea. So I'm on a 10-day course of Flagyl, and the side effects are horrible! Nausea, abdominal cramps, a feeling of the entire digestive tract spasming/burning, awful taste at all times, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and anxiety. And now the diarrhea is back, though not severe. The anxiety is the worst side effect; it makes it soooo hard to deal with the nausea and weakness. I can't even go for a walk, either, without gasping for breath. I don't know yet if this drug has cured my c. diff., since I'm on day nine of the treatment. I'm sticking it out, but it's very difficult to continue taking this medicine. Interestingly, I took this as a vaginal gel before with NO side effects. Read More Read Less

It burns alot and leaves you very raw and makes you feel very uncomfortable.

You must not take the generic version, only Flagyl brand has a coating on it and it is the worse tasting pill I have ever taken and impossible to take without tasting it. I have used it 3 times but the downside is that if it is not taken long enough the infection comes back and then you are back to square one. this may not happen for 3-6 mos and you might think that you have another infectuon when in reality the original one was never entirely gone. I take a probiotic in between dosages in hopes of warding off overgrowth of bad critters because the good ones have been killed off. When I finish this drug I will repopulate my intestines with a couple of kinds of probiotics. Read More Read Less

I'm super happy that the BV is gone--for now, as I know it will return in a couple months. I am actively seeking more natural treatments for sure. I've taken the Flagyl a few times in my life, and I'm 45. This time, I experienced fatigue, upset stomach, bloating, constant headache, and the worst--depression. I cried over everything for a few days, became paranoid about my relationship, and was emotionally so miserable I'd almost rather have the BV!!! WHY is there no other treatment for this condition? Today, off the medication after stopping at day 9 of 10, am feeling gradually more normal. It's been more than 24 hours since the last dose. I'm just shocked that there isn't a better treatment. SERIOUSLY???? I am appreciative that people posted here, telling of their experience so I realized I wasn't really going off the deep end, and it was being caused by a medication. Man am I irritated!Read More Read Less

3x daily/week, had some blurred vision and it tasted terrible, but other than that cleared everything up for me. No other side effects.

I have took the medicine off on for 8 years. It does not work for me. I can't stand the medicine. I have now started probitics and a detoxify herbal supplement. Which seem to help after taking antibiotics for so long. Of course eventually I will have to start taking metro. again but I really hate the medicine. After having this for so long it seems imposible to finish the medicine. I am so fead up with the whole thing. Now I do believe men carry some tret of the bacteria after 8 years now my husband has the same side effects I have he has been treated numerous times. I don't think the bacteria ever really stops growing. It may go away for a week but comes right back. I would love advice because I am really very fed up.Read More Read Less

This Med. is the worst I have ever taken, It is horrible, I almost cry when I have to take it because I know I will be sick for 4 hours with vomiting, nausea, diarrhea & cramping,it leaves a very, very bad taste in your mouth, I'm going to finish the Med. because my Dr. says I won't get better unless I take it all

By the 5th day of taking Flagyl I experienced severe pain in my legs and ended up in the ER at 2am. I was barely able to walk and needed help to sit and to rise. I was unable to get out of bed without help. I stopped the med but it took almost 4 months to recover. MD, neurologist, rheumatologist could find nothing wrong. I know it was the flagyl and will never take it again. My husband was prescribed this medicine for diverticulitis and developed severe stomach aches and a rash across his mid-section. These symtoms took a long time to go away. we believe this is a very dangerous medicine.Read More Read Less
