"Currently pregnant and was prescribed metronidazole 500 mg 3 x a day, suspected PID but BV for sure. I haven't eaten in 3 days, I have fevers at night. If I take the medicine at night, I throw up horribly. For sure, a metallic taste in my mouth, had to be a better answer for pregnant women than this is trauma."

"Prescribed 14 days' worth of metronidazole alongside ofloxacin for suspected PID (non-STI related, previously had BV, so potentially developed again and caused PID). Within days, I was feeling much more dizzy, weak, tired, taking the meds caused me to not sleep, waking after a couple of hours and being wide awake, mind racing. Also, heavy night sweats every night and mind fog/confusion daily. I tested one night not taking my second dose, and all symptoms stopped, and I slept through. GP told me I must continue to take it if I can, as any alt meds would have the same symptoms. I've taken time off work as I can't function at all on these. After an ultrasound scan and hopefully finishing the meds, really hoping I feel better, but currently feeling absolutely awful. When I told the surgery, a pharmacist called me back and said this combo always makes you feel worse before you feel better, and another GP said my symptoms were out of the ordinary. After reading here, it sounds like they're not!"

"I'm a 37-year-old woman. I am currently taking a 10-day course of metronidazole 400 mg 2x a day and doxycycline 100 mg 3x a day for PID. I had laparoscopic surgery 9 days ago. I have been horrendously nauseous, lack of appetite, weight loss, constipation, headaches, and the worst taste in my mouth! Ugh, that's probably the worst thing about this drug... I also think it (or the combo of drugs) has caused me to get oral thrush and vaginal thrush. Seeing GP tomorrow! Hopefully, it will get sorted!"

"I had a bad smell, it got embarrassing, so my friend and I went to the ER, and I was already embarrassed because I felt like people assumed the loud, stinky smell came from me. And they were right. I felt embarrassed. I did everything to make the smell go away, nothing worked. I waited so long in the ER, after taking a urine test, I assumed that they made me wait three whole hours because of the smell I had. So unfortunately, I waited so long that I got up and left. A couple of weeks after, they had given me a call from the hospital to tell me what I already knew: that I had a BV infection and inflammatory disease, which gave me a smell as if something dead was walking. I took the meds, I was only prescribed to take four just the whole day. Those four pills helped a lot."

"I took metronidazole alongside ofloxacin, and I was on them for less than two days when I started vomiting and getting such bad cramps. I stopped taking them to be told by the doctor that it wasn’t that I was allergic to them and I could have them again in the future if needed. No thanks, I’ll stay well clear."

Metronidazole "So I started this medication 2 1/5 days ago, and let me tell ya... first day was okay, also I'm taking it with Bentyl for IBS and stomach spasms. Now day 2 was weird for me. I had this feeling like I had been drinking all night or doing drugs. I couldn't get warm. I felt super high, slurred speech, kept repeating to my boyfriend that 'this medicine makes me feel like I'm dying.' I had to take a Xanax just to fall asleep. Day 3 and I've taken my first pill of the day... I can eat regularly, my vision is clearer... idk I still have 4 days left, so we'll see."

"For the first time I feel like writing about any medicine, and this is the last time I am taking this medicine. I think it works for the cause, but side effects are a lot that make me feel like I'm dying. I'm nauseous every single minute. Doc prescribed me with Metrogyl 400 mg thrice for 14 days along with doxycycline 100 mg twice daily. I feel like I am quite sick and suffering from some big disease, but after reading the reviews I feel like it is happening with everyone who is taking Metrogyl. This is the worst-tasting medicine that one could ever prescribe and anyone could ever take. A lot of dizziness and metallic taste."

"You have to eat a meal with these tablets. Do not take on an empty stomach. They work well, but not a small tiny meal. Needs to be a good size meal. If you start to feel like a headache is coming, take the tablets straight away. Be patient and they work. Don't take with other medications if possible."

"What I know about P.I.D is that there is a test you need to do before taking any drug for infection, and this test is known as HVS M/C/S and URINE M/C/S. This is the test that will tell you the type of infection you are having and the drug that will clear the infection. And about drug combination, there are some drugs that can't be combined together, always mind how you combine drugs."
