For Bacterial Vaginosis "I have been having bacterial vaginitis for more than 8 years. In the first year, I walked into a pharmacy, saw the drug Tinidazole, and just bought about 5 packs of 2g-4 tablets each. I took 4 tablets for 3 days without a prescription. I'm a registered nurse, and within those 3 days, I felt relieved, but because of the serious metallic taste, I reduced it to 2 tablets 2 times daily. That is how the infection resurfaced for more than 8 years. I have tried several drugs, they did not work, there was no odor, but I felt irritation sometimes. In the last seven days, I decided to risk taking it again without a prescription, I have just taken it for the 7th day, 4 tablets. I hope to take a High Vaginal Swab after this, though the side effects are terrible: metallic taste, severe headache, sometimes nausea, rapid pulse. I just hope I can complete 10 days before giving up. Lest I forget, in Nigeria, it is one of the cheapest antibiotics."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "This medicine makes me feel like garbage. I am prescribed 8 pills for 2 days. I took one last night and felt like crap for hours. Took another one this morning and was bad for the first hour, then mild. Now time to take another, and I don't want to. This is my second round, and they made me feel worse last time. By day 3, I had to quit. That would be why I'm on it again. I'm trying to do it right this time because I do not want to have to suffer through the medicine a 3rd time! Makes me feel dehydrated. Headachy, metallic taste, nauseated, rapid heartbeat, and gassy. But it does clear up infection."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "My doctor gave me this since Metro wasn't working for a month. It did get rid of my BV, but I woke up sweating with a very fast heartbeat. My doctor said it wasn't a side effect, but I think it might be with some people. Freaked me out. My BV came back 3 weeks later though."

Tinidazole for Bacterial Vaginosis "Well, I can say the taste, the headaches, the cramps, the fast heartbeat, which caused my severe anxiety to go bananas, is due to this med. Day 5 now, I feel like it's back. Ugh!!!! I don't get it. My muscles hurt too. It's making my pain from open surgery worse! Oh, and a loose stool an hour after taking it."
