"I was diagnosed with trich on Monday August 13th, and it's been very uncomfortable. I was given 4 pills to take in one go thing. I didn't feel any different after taking the pills so I decided to do a flush with 32oz of water, turmeric, 2 lemons and maple syrup. Its day 3 today and the symptoms have calmed down and only feeling tingling here and there. I read that it takes 5 to 7 days for this to clear so this seems to be helping."

"The taste is absolutely terrible!!! It's so strong and disgusting! If you let it hit your tongue, your screwed!!! What I do, is I take it with a huge glass of milk, fill your mouth up with milk, drop it in and swallow! Sometimes it works and you don't taste anything but milk, but sometimes it floats around and hits your tongue! Besides how bad it tastes, I get super dizzy after taking this pill, almost immediately I am dizzy and nauseous with a nasty headache! Of course it helps if you eat before hand, but the lightheaded, dizzy feeling isn't fun at all! Feels like I have my eyes crossed, it's painful. Although the side effects are horrible, I do have to say within hours the discharge completely flushes out, the smell goes away and your back to norm!"

"I was first diagnosed with Gonorrhoea from a partner and then diagnosed with BV and Trich the second time after testing. They prescribed me the medication and advised me to take 4 pills the first day. Please make sure you eat before taking the pills because they are very strong and will have you feeling nauseous. The side effects are not that bad but can make you feel really down and disgusted. Nauseous, metallic taste and very light headed. I’m only on my second day but the side effects are really bothering me. It also makes you urinate a lot and your urine is darker but I guess that means it’s working. Hopefully this passes through me and hope to not have to deal with this again."

"So I got prescribed metronidazole on Thursday the 23rd of August and I didn't take them until yesterday. I took 2,000mg yesterday because the pharmacist told me to take 2 pills twice daily, so I did, and did the same thing today, but when I took my last two for the day I noticed the bottle said to take 1 pill twice daily.... So I'm not sure if its bad that I took that many pills already or not? I'm was kinda freaking out about it but then read on here some infections you can take up to 4000mg (4gm) daily - so I am relieved."

"So I was given this med for Trich that I got from a partner from several months ago but only in the last 3 weeks I started having symptoms and I have never heard of Trich before!? I thought maybe I had a yeast infection or something, never even had one at over 30 years old! Being in an open relationship which I should have mentioned prior, the guy who had given it to me was kind enough to get meds for me and I took the four 500mg pills. Now after reading the side effects I was so worried and I was so nervous that I would be so ill I couldn’t care for my year old baby, but NOTHING has happened? Maybe I’m lucky? I did take a Benzo right before but I would make sure you ask a doctor prior but I have a script. Now this one dose is supposed to take away my symptoms and honestly it’s just discharge and some off scent, nothing too bad. Excited to see if it works so quickly!"

"I was nervous about taking this medication due to potential side effects, but I didn't experience a single side effect from it and my infection cleared up after one round of treatment at 500 mg a day for 7 days (I think)."

Flagyl (metronidazole) "I have taken this med in 4 doses at once a few times and done it a different way every time. I ate more than normal and then took it with a phenergan because phenergan is for nausea and causes drowsiness. This is the only way if you are a drinker."

"Luckily I took one pill the right way but I almost gagged. It's hard for me to swallow pills so I ended up crushing the other 3 and why did I do that... The taste is disgusting.. It's so horrible and it seems as if everything I drink or eat I can't get rid of the taste. Yuck!"

"Took 1 tablet by mouth twice a day and it was prescribed for 7 days. Experienced multiple side affects such as vomiting constantly, headache, nausea and dizziness. I couldn't handle it anymore so I stopped on the second day. Didn't work for me."

"Im on the one time 2000 mg dose and the taste is bad but i had just bought garlic hummus so i quickly popped a couple pita slices caked with hummus in my mouth and the taste was gone. Hummus is amazing. Its been 15minutes since ive taken it and im feeling a little tired but i timed it so i cant go straight to sleep and hopefully wake up symptom free!"

"Found out I had Trich and BV on Thursday and was prescribed 500mg pills. Have to take one pill twice daily. I absolutely hate this medication. I have terrible stomach pain, nausea and vomiting. On the second day of taking it my legs felt numb and tingling. I could barely stand...I had horrible anxiety and just wanted to jump out of my body. I’m in a committed relationship with my partner, he had this before I met him, but I just want to break up with him because of how horrible I feel. This is going to be the longest week of my life."

"I just recently went to the doctor and found out I had trichomonasis and was prescribed 4 dose of metronidazole for the first day then 1 metronidazole for the next 6 days. The beat way to to take it is with a cup of milk, it takes away the awful taste the antibiotic has."

"This worked. What was not good was the horrible taste. The label warned about a bitter taste, and the pills were not coated at all. My boyfriend made the mistake of chewing them. Milk seemed to help me keep them down, but I will never forget the taste. That was the #1 'punishment' from getting this STI."

"So I was diagnosed with trich yesterday (cheating ex boyfriend gave it to me) . My ob-gyn prescribed me Flagyl 500mg x 4 pills for 1 single dose. 24 hours have passed since I took the medication and I feel much better. I'm having less vaginal irritation, burning and I feel comfortable down there. It also helps that my doctor also prescribed me lidocaine jelly which helps numb the area"

"So I was diagnosed with trich twice, crazy I know... same symptoms both times. Fishy odor and discharge. For one, I want to start by saying this medicine is the nastiest thing I have ever tasted in my life, so when you take it, try your hardest not to let it touch your tongue. The first time I did the 4 at once, my mistake was not eating food. I felt so sick to my stomach, vomiting & diarrhea. But it all subsided the next day. The second time I decided to try the two a day for seven days, thinking the 4 was entirely too much for my stomach. It was okay for a while, I had food with them until one day I didn't eat and I had the same symptoms, extreme upset stomach. Also, the medication gave me a yeast infection as well, so I’d recommend taking it with cranberry pills. I think the 4 at once is better, just make sure you take it before bed and on a full stomach. P.S. have something sweet nearby because I don't think anything could have prepared me for how those pills taste."

"I found out a had trich from my pap examination, the doctor immediately prescribed me metronidazole 500mg and to take all four pills at once. I'm not sure if it worked because I still feel the same way I felt before I took the pills. And I had no symptoms at all. So I wouldn't know how to rate the meds because I'm still hoping it just goes away by me just taking all four of those tablets. So can anyone tell me how long does trich last?"

"I didn't even know I had trich, I went to a birth control dr. Appointment and they asked if I wanted to do an std test and I said sure, they came back and said there was a very faint line but they wanna be sure so they considered it positive, they told me I was gonna take 4 500mg pills and I immediately thought my boyfriend had cheated but they said it lingers for a long time, after I took the pill I got a headache and then later that day I started getting sick, and then the next day I've been feeling nauseous all day, I had no symptoms of trich or anything so I can't say if it works or not, all I can say is it tastes nasty"

"Metronidazole is different for everyone. I’ve taken this antibiotic twice throughout my life and my body reacts poorly to it. I’ve been dealing with Trichomoniasis for almost 4 months now and I started off taking a dose of 4 pills in one night which didn’t clear any of my symptoms. That morning around 5am I started puking up blood and went to an urgent care in which they told me to never take that antibiotic again as it was tearing my stomach up. Please do not be scared of this post, my body has always reacted bad with metronidazole. I’ve tried countless antibiotics at this point to try and clear up the trich infection but nothings working. Maybe my strain of it is resistant? If anyone knows of anything please let me know I’m desperate for a cure."

"I am 29 weeks pregnant, and went to docs, after being misdiagnosed, an given wrong meds, everything got worse, went to ER found out I had trich, they gave me 4 pills to take a once, about an hour later, I was feeling a little better. They then gave me flagyl. I take 2 times a day for 7 days, on my 3rd day, an it seems to be working wonders! As far as I know, no side effects. As I can't really tell because I'm pregnant. But over all! This is a great med to take for this! As I was in so much pain, couldn't walk, so swollen from being given the wrong med at first. This has helped a lot!"

"WORST DRUG IN THE UNIVERSE. Please stay away. I was prescribed this drug for trich and it has been the worst 7 days in my life. The dizziness, cramps, diarrhea, headaches and nausea has made this week the longest in my life. I've only gotten through because of pray. No one gets this prescribed to them ever. I was given 1 pill twice a day for 7 days. The chest pains alone made me think I was having a heart attack. Please STAY AWAY"

"So I was having unprotected sex with a guy that wasnt my bf. One day my discharge was looking weird. Went to the doctor nd they said I had a urine infection. A month pass by discharge the same way. Begged my doctor to get a pap smear because I'm younger than 21. It came back to be trich. I was so upset but then again its my fault having unprotected sex with someone who I didn't know much about. I look on here for answers of the some effects and it scared me. I work all week and have uni. I took the 4 pills single dose 3 hours ago ( around 6 ) its now 9 and I feel perfectly fine. I just woke up from a nap. I'm still waiting to see if I have side effects. But as of right now I'm fine. Hope this med works over this STD!"

"The medicine taste horrible but it works ! I coated it with peanut butter to take away from the taste & took it with milk. I also made sure to have food on my stomach. The first two days I took with water it was horrible then I did the peanut butter idea wayyyyy better and milk helped with upset stomach and nauseating feeling"
