Metronidazole and medication

I was prescribed Metronidazole for associated antibiotic diarrhea. For the first 5 days I had no side effect. On day 6 I started to feel fatigue and this symptom would seem to come in waves. It seems to increase this symptom as the days progressed. Now Im on Day 8 and feeling just completely out of it. Like i haven't slept or sort of a drunk feeling. I have to say that I have never experienced any side effects from prescription medication before so this is the first. I can't wait to get done with this. I just want to be back to my same self.

I started taking this medication on a Tuesday... by Friday I started to notice a ringing in my ears.. I also had dark colored urine..and a metallic taste in my mouth. I stopped taking the medication because I couldn't stand the ringing in my ears.... it has been almost 1 week since I stopped.... my urine color is normal.. but the ringing in my ears is still there and I now have diarrhea. I can't handle the ringing anymore.... how long should side effects last once the meds are done????????? Also, after reading some of the other notes, I too had a pain/soreness in my back.

I have been taking Metronidazole for 10 days 500mg 3 times a day for a bacteria in my colon and in all honesty i have the metallic taste in my mouth , nausea , headaches , and cannot get erect.. I think it has affected me sexually because i am taking so much of it..This is the worst medication i have ever been on.

One week ago tomorrow, I was diagnosed with BOTH a yeast infection (my first) and a bacterial infection. The doctor gave me the generic forms of Diflucan and Flagyl. I think this medication is interfering with my sleeping. I've been taking 500 mg 2x/day for a vaginal infection and I can't sleep at night. I take the pill between 7-9am and 7-9pm and since I've started, the only night I was able to get any sleep was the night I took some Benadryl. To boot, I'm STILL having problems with vaginal itching and I don't think the Metronidazole has helped my infection at all. ARGH!!!

I took this medication for 7 days 2 times a day for bacterial vaginosis. I thought I was pregnant!!! I am always regular each month and on this medication I got my period 3 days early! It was thought to be implantation bleeding because it was very light etc. All except it lasted 8 days my period only last 4 days. I believe this medication messed my cycle up for the month. I just got the results from a blood test I am not pregnant!!!? It's got to be from the antibiotic. Has this ever happened to any one????

My daughter lost consciousness and went into respiratory distress...all because her doctor and her pharmacist did not stress the importance of NOT taking this drug while drinking alcohol. I looked throughout many drug books (I'm a nursing student) and there is VERY LITTLE regarding warning against taking this medication with alcohol. Get with it guys! This drug can be very dangerous! If my daughter's friends had not called 911, she very well would NOT be here today!

I've only taken three pills so far and am experiencing a lot of lower back pain. My prescription is one pill twice a day for seven days. I couldn't eat my dinner last night. I also had HALF of a cup of coffee this morning and was wound up for at least four hours. I felt like swearing off caffeine for the rest of my life. What a terrible feeling. If you feel jittery on this medication... DO NOT drink coffee!

This medication is gross..It's so much just to get it down, they are too big and just isnt right..It causes me to feel sick to my stomach..I dread taking these pills.

I have not taken any medication in many years as I am generally healthy. After taken these large nasty pills, I feel very dizzy, spacey and sleepy. I have been prescribed 500 mg. for 7 days and since day one I've felt this way. This is day 4 and I feel very sleepy. The taste is HORRIBLE and everything I've eaten since than has a metallic taste.

Hello! This medication gives me pain in the right side,back pain and Horrible taste in my mouth around 1 to 2 hours. I am really tired and just plain don't feel right with this medication. I am almost done with it.But I won't take it again. Oh and it causes sever constipation.

i have recently started taking this medication and while taking it i have had really bad stomach cramps and i have started bleeding badly.

I have gotten a horrible yeast infection while taking this medication as well as severe fatigue. I would not willingly take this medication again. It has the worst side effects out of anything I have taken before. I also got really bad pack pain and dizziness.

this medication makes me feel sullen, tired, and jittery/anxious. I HATE IT.. I strongly suggest you try to use something else.

I have been taking metronidazole 500mg. every 12 hours, 2 a day, Past 4 days I have been taking this medication, I have had no side effects what so ever. It don't taste nice, but what medicines do? This medication has helped me from cramping and adominal pain. I get a little sleepy but at least I have some rest.

ON MY PERIOC AT THE TIME I STARTED TAKING THIS MEDICATION AND MY PERIOD HAS NOT STOP,WHILE TAKING
THIS MEDICATION.

While taking this medication, I grow a bit fatigue, and while trying to swallow it, the taste is disgusting, and I attend to gag the pill out of my mouth, and the pill turns to moosh. I was originally prescribed Flagyl, but my lovely pharmacy friends substituted this Metronidazole for Flagyl.

sickness and general stomach upset after one days medication

Since taking this medication, I have gotten a horrible yeast infection. Is this one of the side effects?

I have an addiction history and at this time am in recovery. Since taking this medication I have felt some drowsiness. Is this medication habit forming?

Can this medication cause bad stomach cramps..I have been on it for 6 days and it has caused me to have stomach cramps..Please let me know?
