User Reviews for Metronidazole

Flagyl (metronidazole): I took this in February of 2008 and in December 2008 I was diagnosed with the same bacterial infection again. The doctor said this is the best medicine available to kill the bacteria. The pills are horrible to take since they are not coated. I've experienced the metallic taste and stomach upset feelings. However, if they work I am willing to withstand this temporary inconvenience.

Flagyl (metronidazole): I had a vaginal infection, and was prescribed Flagyl to cure it. I hated the immediate awful taste in the mouth, and it dissolved immediately upon hitting my tongue. I only experienced the awful taste and some slight stomach upset as side effects. The infection began to clear up after 3 days of a 7 day prescription. I recommend it, and drink something fruity with it. Also, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL while on this medication, OR FOR 3 DAYS AFTER YOU STOP TAKING IT. You WILL have severe vomiting, heaving and dizziness.

metronidazole: My Doctor put me on this medine only yesterday and I feel so mch better.I was told I had possibly food poisioning.I had severe stomach cramps,nauseated,and was really feeling bad.As of today I feel so much better with no side effects as of now.I was put on Nexium also.

Flagyl (metronidazole): I had C-Dif which is a bacteria which is resistant from too many antibiotics. I caught this in the hospital. I was never so sick. Betweem losing weight and the vomiting and diarrhea I thought I was going to die. Flagyl did help but took many months.

Flagyl (metronidazole): I was prescribed this for my bacterial vaginitis infection about 2 weeks ago. I had the one dosage (4 tablets) treatment. The pills taste horrible. I experienced nausea good thing I took them before bedtime. My infection cleared up but now I think I have a yeast infection or it's just vaginal itching and discharge, nothing smelly, so I know it's not an infection. I'm guessing it's a side effect of the pills besides that they're really good!

Flagyl (metronidazole): Oh my! I have experienced bloating, gas and abdominal pain since taking this medicine. The infection does not seem to be clearing up and I only have one day left of a 7 day course of 500mg twice a day. I am tired, have insomnia; and will not take this again. My abdominal pain is extreme! I have been up since 3am and took it this morning; immediately took a bulking laxative after, to put something in my stomach. Will see if this helps!

Flagyl (metronidazole): I've taken Flagyl several times for severe sinus infections. It did help considering the side effects. Currently I began Flagyl 5 days ago 3 x a day for C-Diff ...The C-Diff symptoms were bad enough but the side effects this time are horrible. Severe nausea ,insomnia, itchy hot skin and a general feeling of sickness. I still have 5 more days to go and want to discontinue the medicines.

Flagyl (metronidazole): It has helped me. It's a good medicine.

metronidazole: This medicine really did help me. Very effective. Side effects were minimal - occasional, very slight nausea or stomach upset. The downsides: (1) Pills are difficult to take: they are uncoated, stick to your tongue/throat, disintegrate quickly, and taste so indescribably toxic and foul. I could only get them down by breaking them in two and coating them in syrup or honey, then psyching myself up -- and I'm pretty good with pills. (2) No alcohol. Not that it's so important, but this was a drag. I was sorely tempted to stop after I felt well again, but it is so important to take the whole course. I felt much better after 24 hours, but not totally recovered until near the end. Stick with it, it's unpleasant but it works.

Flagyl (metronidazole): Horrible side effects. I have had a severe case of flu like symptoms and my body feels as though I have been beaten up but my infection seems to be clearing up!

Flagyl (metronidazole): This medicine has been prescribed to both myself and my husband. It made both of us feel much sicker than the original conditions it was meant to treat.

Flagyl (metronidazole): I have been on this medicine for 3 days. I have insomnia (normally a good sleeper) and headaches since the treatment began. The infection is going away, but I don't know how much longer I can take this medicine.

metronidazole: I was given 56 pills to take every 6 hours for 14 days (in addition to Clindamycin) for severe tonsillitis. I'm a third year medical student who will never take for granted prescribing this medicine again. I'm not sure if it works (this is day 3 and my tonsil is still huge, pus-filled, and incredibly painful) but I feel like I'm experiencing every side effect except the diarrhea. I'm absolutely hating how I feel right now and just wanted to sound off - to try and release some of this frustration.

Flagyl (metronidazole): Had a bad respiratory infection. This worked great! For the metallic taste eat chocolate-peanut butter cups. It really works on getting rid of the taste in your mouth.

metronidazole: This medicine really helped my my mom.

metronidazole: Caught infection in hospital after a sigmoid colectomy. Symptoms did not become apparent for several weeks at which time I was hospitalized. Had I.V doses of 250 mg every 6 hours for 3 days. When I was discharged I continued the medication for 7 days. Currently, I'm in the 3rd day. It has helped some, but not to the degree expected.

Flagyl (metronidazole): I have used this medication several times for bacterial infections. And they do a great job, but this time I am having a headache everyday I've been using it and an upset stomach, but I guess its worth it to get rid of the infection.

metronidazole: My Doctor prescribed metronidazole while I was on Lithium. I had some unpleasant side effects and could not take this medicne. Therefore it was of no use to me. Always tell your Doctor if you are taking Lithium when prescribed Metronidazole.

metronidazole: Have used metronidazole for an infection before. It worked but the taste was awful.

metronidazole: Lyme Disease - I take 60 pills a day so this nasty tasting one isn't a big deal. Side effects include stuffy, runny nose, sore throat and I can't taste any food or smell. Will be on it a month or so - just going to tough it out and hope to get better.

metronidazole: This is a nasty tasting pill, but does work for curing a bacterial problem. I took it three times daily for 10 days. I experienced many of the symtoms mentioned in other letters. I also had a feeling of withdrawl and insomnia once I stopped taking the pill. I still have the metalic taste after two days. Other than all that it does the job it's designed to do.

metronidazole: Pill works good. I found out the hard way I am allergic to it and it gives me pancreatitis. I was in the hospital for a week.

metronidazole: I have diarrhea due to bacterial infection. I am supposed to take this medication for a week. Currently I am on my third day and the side effects are terrible. Yes, my diarrhea has stopped but now I have nausea.

metronidazole: So far the worst is a swollen tongue, horrible taste in the mouth and all food tasting nasty. With C-Diff, I can live with these side-effects. I have no problem taking the pill. Oh, and urine is a very dark color.

Flagyl (metronidazole): I just got off the medicine after a 10 day treatment for C. diff that I got after a week in the hospital. Here's a hint. Ask for it in liquid form. I took it three times a day and the liquid goes down easy and doesn't taste bad at all. I have been off it 4 days and I still have the metallic taste in my mouth. Will be glad when that goes away.
