After 1 day of taking this medication, my body instantly didn't agree with it. I experienced dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, no appetite and the worst diarrhea that i ever experienced. I also kept vomiting and recieved a yeast infection in the process. Finally after 3 days I stopped it under my own discretion. My doctor couldn't believe it was doing of this in 3 days. Every medication isn't for everyone

Flagyl has been used with Septra to treat a bacterial infection that resulted from an infected cyst in my rectal area. Below I've listed some of the horrific side effects I think are from this medication. I'm going to ask the surgeon tomorrow.

This is not a new side effect, but I wanted to let other people who are taking Flagyl to hear this and hope it will help them while they are taking this awful medication. The pill form is the worst medication I have ever had to swallow. I found that if I coat the pill in butter, I can swallow the pill without gagging and I have no aftertaste. I also eat a couple of crackers before I take it, to stop the stomach upset.

My two year old was given it for Cdiff. She has been off it for a week, and just started having mucus and blood in her stools. Her doctor perscibed it again and wants her to take it for 10 more days 4 times a day! I am getting her a different doctor and medication.

My Dad's doctor put him on this. Before he was put on it he was up walking around and saying a few words, laughing with us. Now he is in a wheelchair and not eating. My dad has Alztimers (?) so he don't talk much anyways but we have notice that he don't like to eat anymore not even ice cream that he use to love daily. His urine is brownish with a little red in it. My dad can't speak for himself to tell us what hurts or what's wrong with him but my Mom and I can that something is wrong.
This medication is awful I wouldn't say anything nice about it.

I was perscribed several doses of flagyl for Cdif, and after about 4 months I developed complete numbness of my toes. I immediately stopped medication and feeling returned to my toes in about 5 to 6 months. Now it is 2 years later and I am having painful numbness in my arms and toes when I sleep. Though I am no longer taking the drug I believe the two are connected.
