"Prescribed 14 days worth of metronidazole alongside Ofloxacin for suspected PID (non STI related, previously had BV so potentially developed again and caused PID). Within days I was feeling much more dizzy, weak, tired, taking the meds caused me to not sleep, waking after a couple of hours and being wide awake mind racing. Also heavy night sweats every night and mind fog/confusion daily. I tested one night not taking my second dose and all symptoms stopped and I slept through. Gp told me I must continue to take if I can as any alt meds would have the same symptoms. I've taken time off work as I can't function at all on these. After an ultrasound scan and hopefully finishing the meds really hoping I feel better but currently feeling absolutely awful. When I told the surgery a pharmacist called me back and said this combo always make you feel worse before you feel better and another gp said my symptoms were out of the ordinary. After reading here it sounds like their not!"

"I'm a 37 year old woman. I am currently taking a 10 day course of metronidazole 400mg 2x day and doxycyline 100g 3x day for PID. I had laproscopic surgery 9 days ago. I have been horrendously nauseous, lack of appetite, weight loss, constipated, headaches, and THE worst taste in my mouth! Ugh that's probably the worst thing about this drug.... I also think it (or the combo of drugs) have caused me to get oral thrush and vaginal thrush. Seeing GP tomorrow !!! Hopefully it will get sorted!!"

Flagyl (metronidazole) "So I started this medication 2 1/5 days ago, and let me tell ya... first day was ok, also I'm taking it with Bentyl for IBS and stomach spasms. Now day 2 was weird for me I had this feeling like I had been drinking all night or doing drugs. I couldn't get warm I felt super high, slurred speech, kept repeating to my boyfriend that "this medicine makes me feel like I'm dying." I had to take a Xanax just to fall asleep. Day 3 and I've taken my first pill of the day.. I can eat regularly my vision is clearer... idk I still have 4 days left so we'll see."

"I took metronidazole alongside Ofloxacin and I was on them for less than two days when I started vomiting and getting such bad cramps, I stopped taking them to be told by the dr that it wasn’t that I was allergic to them and I could have them again in the future if needed. No thanks I’ll stay well clear."

"Hi...for the first time I feel like writing about any medicine & this is the last time I am taking this medicine. I think It works for the cause but side effects are a lot that make me feel like I'm dying. I'm nauseous every single min. Doc prescribed me with Metrogyl 400mg thrice for 14 days along with doxycycline 100MG twice daily. I feel like that I am quite sick and suffering from some big disease but after reading the reviews I feel like it is happening with everyone who is taking MetroGyl. This is the worst taste medicine that one could ever prescribe & anyone could ever take. A lot of dizziness and metallic taste."

"You have to eat a meal with these tablets. Do not take on an empty stomach. They work well, but not a small tiny meal. Needs to be a good size meal. If you start to feel like a headache is coming, take the tablets straight away. Be patient and they work. Don't take with other medications if possible."

"What I know about P.I.D is that, there is a test you need to do before taking any drug for infection and this test is known as HVS M/C/S AND URINE M/C/S. This is the test that will tell you the type of infection you are having and the drug that will clear the infection. And about drug combination, there are some drug that can't be combine together always mind how you combine drugs. Thanks"

"This is true for all antibiotics: after you take it, bacteria are going to die by the millions in your entire body. This is likely what causes the horrific results some people may experience. So be prepared: take the pill with food and a bit of water; take activated charcoal and/or an Epsom salt bath and/or drink a lot more water a couple of hours after a dose to help expel the die-off; take a high-quality probiotic towards the end of the prescribed course, otherwise, the antibiotic will kill off those good bacteria as well. Continue with probiotics for a month thereafter. Keep in mind, bacterial infections take time to grow and become symptomatic and will take time to be killed off and disposed of. I was prescribed metronidazole for pelvic inflammation/bladder infection. Started feeling worse within an hour after the first dose: mild asthma, body swelling, but it also drained my sinuses and lymph glands around ears and jaw. Day 2 pelvic pain is down by 60%, so yes, it's working."
