For Intraabdominal Infection "Flagyl was prescribed to me after an appendectomy with a leaking appendix. I took 3 doses at home, and the side effects started immediately and became more severe with every subsequent dose. I was dizzy to the point of having to hold on to the wall to walk. I had the worst metallic bad taste in my mouth that actually made everything taste horrible (water, juices, food, etc.). I was extremely nauseous to the point that I started heaving even with liquids. I had severe diarrhea as well, which I am not sure was related to Flagyl or not, but subsided once I was off that medicine. I was changed to Cypro and have been feeling much, much better with that antibiotic. In my case, I will NEVER take Flagyl again, based on the severe reaction I've experienced."

For Bacterial Infection "Was put on this for 7 days, 2x a day, 500 mg. For BV. I'm on day 6, and I'm miserable. Considering not doing day 7, but we will see. Will try my best. It wasn't until day 2/3 that I started having noticeable side effects. I thought I was just being emotional. They got worse as the days went on. Super tired. Major brain fog. Symptoms of depression (and considering I've been both depressed and suicidal in the past, this is not ideal). Very unmotivated. Nauseous. Warm, tingly feeling. Diarrhea, but no stomach pain. Overall sick feeling. Just don't feel like myself. I also am thinking this is ironically affecting my vaginal discharge more than ever."

For Bacterial Infection "The taste of this medicine is so bitter. I have to chew gum after. I had really bad stomach pains, then diarrhea all night long."
