"I went to the clinic and at first they told me I had a UTI and I got my medicine and felt better but a week later I had symptoms and I went back and apparently I had a yeast infection. After that I waited to see if it would clear and it didn’t I want back and I got positive for Trich I got the 500 mg 4 pills you take once. It worked so quick I stopped having discharge and less smell. I hope it goes away soon because it’s one of the most discomfort feeling ever but I don’t know if to go back just to check if everything is good and don’t need more medication"

Flagyl (metronidazole) "The first time they gave me Flagyl in 4 pills to take all at the same time. It worked great and I cleared up. The second I was given the same 4 pill dosage and the symptoms cleared up for about a week until I got my period, then the discharge, smell and itching came back with a vengeance. So back to the doctor I went and this time they gave me Tindamax."

"I found out I had trich about 3 months after being infected. We used a condom. I was traumatized, got it from my 3rd ever partner. Anyway, they prescribed me a mega dose, the next day I felt sort of ok but the infection lingered on and got worse after a couple days, I called the doc and she prescribed me another mega dose. This dose made my infection so much worse bc it was not enough to kill the protozoa. It also gave me a UTI. I then went to immediate care and was prescribed a weeks worth, 14 pills. And also another antibiotic for the UTI. I was terrified it wouldn’t work again. But by the 3rd day I felt a lot better. It’s now the 8th day and I feel like the infection is completely gone, but I’m worried it will come back as some women on here have mentioned it returning weeks later. This experience has traumatized me and I never want to have sex again. Not until a committed relationship. I’m so done."

"Only two side effects I had were darker urine and dehydration. Other than that this pill works like a charm. I never knew the scent I assumed was my natural scent would be gone after taking Flagyl guessing it was the trichomoniasis."

"Was prescribed two doses of metronidazole to take orally. Experienced darker urine, nausea and a very bad taste in my mouth, but is it possible that this medicine can cause a yeast infection? I have been experiencing unusual discomfort in the vagina area."

"No I’m not a fake spam comment or whatever you want to call it ! I took my whole prescription as one dose, as directed and my side effects lasted about 5 hours. I took the medicine around 7:30 am so I’ll say the effects stopped around 1 pm. I had mild diarrhea about 30 mins and after that I just felt a bit nauseous!! Nothing to serious and it worked great no more infections for me what so ever !"

Flagyl (metronidazole) "I first got prescribed 4 Flagyl 500 mg pills to take at once for trichomoniasis. It took away the burning and itching and I seen a decrease in discharge. However; I still have burning when peeing. I now got prescribed a second dose of Flagyl but this time it’s a 7 day dosage of 500 mg pills twice a day. I Have taken 2 day’s of this new dosage and my discharge is even better but still burning when urinating. I am hoping this medicine cures the Trichomoniasis."

"I would take this super dose ( 4 pills at once 2000mg ) again if I ever contracted trich again ... despite how sick it made me feel . Yes it made me nauseous so bad and gave me a headache that had legs and carried on til next day , maybe a tad longer. The horrible sickness I felt was nothing in comparison to that disgusting trich - about 5 hours after I took it I peed the darkest longest pee and all this stuff came out..."

"I was prescribed flagyl 500 mg for trich and bv to be taken twice a day for 7 days. All I have to say is thank God I'm on my last day with this med. I've had horrible side effects, like constant headache, nausea, tiredness, loss of appetite, and it feels like I been hit by a car. On the bright side though I no longer have a discharge or odor whatsoever. I definitely learned my lesson about having unprotected sex that's for sure! Well good luck on this med it does work!"

"The taste is unpleasant, though not as unpleasant as trichomoniasis. Upon the first dose (500 mg) I suffered from flu like side effects. My neck grew stiff, I felt feverish and steadily nauseous. It did not cause me to lose my appetite, despite the nausea. Headaches became common, along with an undying thirst. Having to go to work on this medicine was as difficult as a virus. I had trouble sleeping to the extent that I actually had remained awake for over thirty hours before falling asleep. It was around the third day in that I suddenly had thick, white discharge that had a musty odor, however that only happened that one day. It is a rough pill, but it gets the job done. No pain, no gain, as they say."

" Tried to take it the right way by just water, automatically spit it out. Tried the milk thing, nope, bread, nah uh. The only thing that worked without tasting it was putting it in peanut butter, hard to swallow but it's better than tasting that aweful pill. Only side effects I have was loose stool, dark urine, and a little nausea (because I didn't take zofran after like I'm supposed to) 4 more days until I'm finished, I wake up everyday dreading to take this pill. Makes you never want to have unprotected sex again. Thanks for the lesson."

"I was prescribed this medication metronidazole for Trichomonas four pills for one day. I took the pills I got dizzy, lightheaded and my heart was racing. It felt like a panic attack so I just calm down and it went away. Other than that I felt fine little nauseous but I eat like some chips or something and it went away and I drank water for the rest of the day no juice, or anything else, just water and had a full meal"

"I too, went in for a pap smear and was given the 2000 mg dose. I ate and waited a bit, maybe an hour, before taking them with a pint of water. That was around 6. It's now 10. The itch has already subsided. Make sure to wear panty liners. Certainly a reminder to be more careful."

"I was prescribed four 500mg tablets to take at once to treat itch. I made sure to take them close to bed time so I can sleep thru the cramping and nausea. Took with a pepsi so I could mask the taste. Odor is gone next morning. I took some probiotics with the pill to lessen my chances of catching a yeast infection from the antibiotic. Discharge and itch still present. I will update later on the effectiveness of this treatment after a week."

"I was given flagyl in 2017 for BV. I could not take it as it made me feel weird. In 2018 I was diagnosed with Trich. They gave me the one does (did not work). In 2019 I was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis again. They gave me one 2000mg dose again. I was retested 10 days later and positive again but with minimal parasites so the doctor wanted me to do 7 day dose. I was scared and nervous as is but started it because it was the only med to work and wanted to be done with it. It was toughie first few days but after the 5th day my body got used to it. Nausea, fatigue, and headaches were the main side effects . I've finished the course a day ago now and my advice is only read positive reviews, take the med with a lot of food. Eat a bit, take your pill, eat the rest of food. Do not take it on an empty stomach and do not take it right before bed, woke up sicker than heck.Take it 2 hrs before you lay down so it isn't stuck In your throat all night. Your body does seem to adjust to it."

"For advice on taking these pills, they were horrific with water i was prescribed 4 all at once and I was surprised I even got 3 down they were so bad and I researched this lady said to try it with peanut butter so I took the last pill (it was halfway dissolved because I spit it out) and covered it with peanut butter washed down by milk, I gagged because it was so big but was amazed by how much I did not taste it at all trust me. I hope this helps, nobody should feel bad for having this, it's more common than people think just not often talked about. Don't worry just stay away from sex it's not worth it."

Flagyl (metronidazole) "Was put on Flagyl 500mg twice a day for one week. Tomorrow morning is my last pill. Had no clue about this antibiotic. 1st pill was taken on an empty stomach and I put the pill on the front of my tongue....big mistake! Was very aware after that what I had to do...place pill as far back as you can and drink water, fruit punch as fast as you can, on a full stomach! I constantly feel like I'm car sick, off and on headaches, some anxiety and just an overall disconnected feeling. But.....I have to admit it really works!"

"I found out I had trich within days of being infected. I was prescribed twice daily for 7 days. While my partner, he was prescribed the same, but the 4 pills at one time. We saw different doctors and his lab work hasn't confirmed trich, but since I tested positive - they treated him as if he had it as well. Also was prescribed the miracle pill for a yeast infection, if the metro causes one. Terrible metallic taste - I can't imagine 4 pills in one day. Will update with the effectiveness for both he and I."

"AT LAST IM FREE OF BV. After years of BV I'm finally smell free. I can't even tell you how amazing this drug is. I've had zero side effects and I don't even care if the pill has a slight taste to it its far from the smell I was experiencing. I started to see results from day 2."

"I've been infected with it for about 4 months now. Went in for a mega dose 4 pills 2000mg. It wasn't bad taking the medication and no side effects, did seem to kill off most of the infection. Since treatment have not been seeing any discharge come out of the tip of my penis, before I had treatment usually in the morning I could like squeeze the tip and see white discharge come out, but after treatment killed most of the discharge and I do occasionally have itching irritated feeling in my urethra. Now I've noticed discharge stains in my underwear when I wake up in the morning like I did before treat meant. So I'm assuming the 2000mg I took 4 pills didn't kill off all the infection so I'm gonna have go in and get re treated. But this taught me a lesson to have protected sex !!!!"
