Flagyl for Intraabdominal Infection User Reviews

"Flagyl was prescribed to me after an appendectomy with a leaking appendix. I took 3 doses at home, and the side effects started immediately and became more severe with every subsequent dose. I was dizzy to the point of having to hold on to the wall to walk. I had the worst metallic bad taste in my mouth that actually made everything taste horrible (water, juices, food, etc.). I was extremely nauseous to the point that I started heaving even with liquids. I had severe diarrhea as well, which I am not sure was related to Flagyl or not, but subsided once I was off that medicine. I was changed to Cypro and have been feeling much, much better with that antibiotic. In my case, I will NEVER take Flagyl again, based on the severe reaction I've experienced."

"I read all of these reviews on the side effects of this medication. They scared me so bad because I have hurt for 2 weeks, and I didn't want to add more pain on top of that. But the only side effects I have had are tiredness and a bit of a headache. Only a few days into my 2-week dose, but hoping it fixes whatever problem I have been having with my intestines! Don't be afraid to take it like I was."
