| Add Flagyl review This med made me feel wiped out but I didn't get sick from it. Like others have said, it works fast. It's REALLY important to eat with this med or you will feel terrible. If you eat with it or at least drink milk you should be fine the only side effect I had was feeling tired. I stress eat with it and yes it has a bad taste if it's in your mouth too long I noticed if I took it with juice, soda or ... I have taken this twice before & am about to start another 7day treatment for my recurring condition. I have never enjoyed the experience in the past & even though I have the prescription already I haven't mustered up the courage to start it yet. The last time I took it I forgot it wasn't supposed to be mixed w/ alcohol & I took literally 2 small sips of a beer. Within 30-45 mins I was ... THIS STUFF WORKS WONDERFULLY!!!!! I was scared to take this medication after reading the reviews, but faced the fear because I know this was the only medication that would make me get better. At the time of receiving medication I had, had B.V for about 2 weeks and was TOTALLY FED UP!!!!! I was becoming hopeless and depressed because to me vaginal odor is one of the most saddening things a woman ... I was prescribed Flagyl for bacterial vaginosis. It killed the vaginosis. Unfortunately it also killed my appetite. It got so bad that I was counting calories to make sure I was getting the minimum 800 a day the average adult needs for basic subsistence. I was like the walking dead by the end of it. Never again with the oral version of this drug. I would consider the cream though. Taking this medicine for BV, definitely has cleared the Vaginosis but have had several side effects. Leaves a horrible metallic taste in my mouth and constantly queasy. Vomited a few times, generally first thing in the morning with the metallic taste. Big loss of appetite as well. | Add Metronidazole review I was given a dose of 500mg twice daily for a week. On the second day, I for about 5 hours after the dose, felt extreme rage and anger along with very uncomfortable dizziness. Thank goodness I checked this website as I was getting a little worried about these feelings and did not think it was the medication until now I am on my fifth day and hate these feelings. Only symptom I had for the need for this med was a really bad Oder this was gone after the 3 doss had some dizziness it did not affect my stomach but had a very bad taste in mouth like tin and nothing tastes good finished on 5-14-2013 I have always had a problem taking any medication because of stomach problems, so before I started taking Metronidazole 500mg twice a day for 7 days I was horrified after reading the negative effect it had on so many. I think I let my nerves get the best of me in the beginning but I found that it wasn't as bad as I thought. I found that eating a small meal before I took it and taking it with a gla ... The medication was easy to take, but tastes horrible. After the use of the pill I wound up with a stomache ache. The last three days I was very dizzy. Although prescribed....I've never had any symptoms of the infection but I guess lab results are "lab results'. I'm a 49 yr old that needed to have a hysterectomy performed. I must say before taking the pills, I read all the reviews. The reviews had me terrified. I had no choice so began taking 7 days 2x a day. I had none of the symptoms mentioned on any of the reviews. I followed the suugestions for taking the drug so that I wouldn't experience the side effects. The only effect I noticed was I got a small ... | |||
