metronidazole: I took one pill and was so close to gagging, that I called my pharmacy to see if there was another version they sold that including a coating on the pill. Since there wasn't, I had to come up with an alternative if I was to ever get past the first dose. So I decided to coat the pill myself with peanut butter, which did the trick with helping that little rancid pill get down. I checked with the pharmacist, and he said it was okay to do that. After I eat, I can still taste it a little, but it's nothing like it was before I coated it.

metronidazole: The WORST tasting pill I have ever taken, though it did cure me. I didn't experience the horrible side effects some of the other did. However this is the worst tasting pill ever! I wish I would have read these reviews on how to coat the pill before, but I would take it with chocolate milk and it did a pretty good job of masking most of the taste since it made water taste like Clorox to me. Oh and it made vanilla ice cream taste horrible too. Also after finishing the medication I developed a white film all over my tongue with a fuzzy and dry feeling, no matter how many times I scrub my tongue (like 4 times a day) it keeps coming back. So I guess now I have to call the doctor for that too.

Flagyl ER (metronidazole): Did not cure bacterial vaginosis, but did cause concurrent yeast infection.

metronidazole: I'm on the third day of a seven day treatment of this medicine and after the the third pill my infection cleared up. I wish I can stop taking them now because the pills have such a nasty taste and leaves me feeling very sick and weak. I thought it was just me but I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one.

metronidazole: I was experiencing a lot of discharge, itching and burning. The doctor verified that I had a vaginal bacterial infection. The Metronidazol Tab 500 mg tablet was given to me for 7 days. I feel sick to my stomach and dizzy most of the time. The left side of my face feels a little numb. The taste in my mouth is awful, but I chew gum to counteract it. I have 2 doses to take yet, and find it hard to swallow because of there is no coating on the tablets. Hopefully it did it's job without causing any other problems.

Flagyl ER (metronidazole): The medicine works great for vaginitis, however, after using it a few times my doctor says I "built an allergy" to it, I started getting hives every time I took it, so I just don't take it anymore. Trust me, I wish I could it works the best out of all my experiences.

metronidazole: I'm on my second to last day of treatment and so far I'm not seeing any results. I'm starting to think maybe I'm dealing with an yeast infection that I probably got from it. Unpleasant pills that made these last few days a living hell for me. However, effective nonetheless.

metronidazole: Good but always gives me a yeast infection after I finish taking it. Recommend the doctor prescribe Diflucan for when you are finished.

metronidazole: Due to itching, burning and discharge, I was told I had bacterial infection. I am on 500MG metronidazole twice a day X 7 days. The first few days of taking pill I was sick and dizzy. Third day I avoided taking pill so close to eating. That helped. I still get slightly dizzy around pill time. I drink with great tasting juice so I don't need to taste the pill. I feel that its improving my infection. I have two days left. Only side effect is slight diarrhea.

metronidazole: This antibiotic was very strong to me. Make sure that you eat before taking it. The bowel movements for me were very frequent and made me feel a little sick. I had to take it twice a day.

metronidazole: The doctor gave me these for an infection. I had to take 4 at one time and that's all they gave me. Thought it was strange turns out it was fine. Although they were really nasty and turned my urine dark them seem to be doing the trick!

metronidazole: This was the worst antibiotic I have ever been on. First day taking it I was so dizzy and so sick I fell off my chair at work. Throughout the week I took it, I felt dizzy, sick, severe headaches, light headed and exhausted, I had the worst taste in my mouth which I used to wake up in the middle of the night with and drinking water just didn't cut it so had to keep a big glass of orange cordial near me. I also for the first few days of it had terrible Cold and Flu symptoms which was an additional pain in the ass. Went out one night with my friends and didn't drink alcohol as was told not to so said I would have just 2 RedBulls to keep me awake and woke up the next day with what seemed to be like the most HORRIFIC hangover.

metronidazole: I have taken this medication many times due to recurring bacterial vaginitis. It causes me to have severe heart palpitations, panic attacks, nausea and severe dizziness and causes me to feel like I'm just shaking inside. The medication itself works very well. It does get rid of the infection. I take Diflucan along with it to prevent a yeast infection but I recently found out that the medication has caused my liver enzymes to rise.

metronidazole: I'm on day 3 of 7. So far, it's been terrible. As most others have said, the taste is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. THE MOST bitter thing I've ever experienced in my entire life. Definitely makes you want to throw up. I have been using the peanut butter coating idea and it most certainly works. I coat it pretty good and actually don't taste a single thing anymore. YAY!!! However, because you have to coat it so much, you may feel a slight choking sensation as it goes down, but trust me...it is SOOOOO worth it. Other than the taste, I've had a lot of the side effects. Really dizzy, sick to my stomach, weak/numb-type feeling, extreme exhaustion. BUT it really does work in getting rid of the infection! Usually after just a couple pills.

metronidazole: I have been schedule to take this 500mg medication twice a day for 7 days. I was told to drink it with a full glass of water every time I took my dose and it has the worst taste ever. Since I have been on this medication I have not been able to function due to the side effects of headaches and dizziness. I get so sick that I had to take Tylenol and Aleve to relieve the horrible headaches I was getting. But overall score on this medication I would give it an 8.

metronidazole: I was ok to start with, but 3 days in I felt so sick and achy to my stomach. I ate just before I took the 400mg dose 3 times a day. I had a permanent ache in my tummy and a horrible taste in my mouth. I was kept awake a night, and also had sore mouth, headaches, dry mouth and throat. Also on the 2nd dose I would become dizzy. Apart from that they did the trick.

metronidazole: I just finished my last dose. Yippee! I took Metronidazole 500mg (2 pills) twice a day for 7 days. It is the most disgusting pill I've ever tasted. I'm happy that I read the ratings before I continued my doses. I coated the pills with honey and it was a much better experience. I had side effects for 3-4 days: constant stomach ache, weakness, nausea, and constant metallic taste in mouth. It is quite effective. I stopped having symptoms by the third day. I hope to never have to take this pill again.

Review by wdc:

metronidazole: I have one more day to take. I take it 3x daily for 7 days. I haven't had any side effects as of today, beside feeling tingling in the hands when I'm sleep and redness undertone of the skin. I too think its effective and I hope also that I don't incur any other infections after taking. Oh, plus I drink plenty of water while taking.

Flagyl ER (metronidazole): This medication works well. You have to take it for a week straight and you can not drink with it for 9 days. Overall good medication but long recovery time.

metronidazole: I was prescribed 500mg 2 tablets daily for 3 days. The first day it gave me the worst headache ever and I actually walked out on my GED test because I got so dizzy and sick that I had to vomit and I went home and vomited about 3 more times. That was later in the evening. The second day I had a slight headache and later towards the evening (about the same time) I started getting sick to my stomach again. I have yet to go the last day, but I guess I can handle just 1 more day as long as it gets rid of the problem it was prescribed for. This pill works but the side effects are horrible for me.

metronidazole: Took this medicine for a slight bacterial vaginitis infection and also experienced the terrible metallic taste, dark urine and bowel movements, moderate nausea and hot flashes due to rapid heart rate it caused. Pills seemed to have worked and was worth 2 day of these symptoms.
