Feeling Really Bad On Flagyl (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My dentist prescribes flagyl. I need a root canal and the tooth was infected. Also I am taking a prevpac my dr. prescribed. I am aching all over, dizzy and have a headache. Should I stop taking this? I started friday. I called my dr but she has not returned my call. Please tell me if I should continue or just stop taking it? Ugh, feeling really bad.

OMG, i thought i was the only one, i was told to take this for 7 days 2x's a day i lasted a day in a half. By the second day, after taking the first pill, i couldn't get up from my bed with out feeling horrendously dizzy and throwing up. Along with the dizzness and vomiting, I was sweating and having hot flashes, and did nothing but cry with how bad i was feeling. I couldn't eat or even look at food without throwing up. I also had stomach pains, and gas, but couldn't poop. And i had a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE taste in my mouth.Even though i did not take the second pill on the second, I had to crawl (not even joking) to the bathroom that night because i had to throw up and couldn't stand from fear of falling. I had to ask myself was this medicine or poison. I have called my doctor and have to go in again for them to give me something else, maybe the gel??? But on God i will NEVER take this medicine again. or give it to my daughter if they ever prescribed it for her.

Thanks to all for your decent feedback. I have been taken Metronidazole for over a week now (prescribed for 2 weeks) along with Ofloxacin, for a suspected pelvic infection.

I have suffered dizziness, severe night sweats, palpatations, anxiety, awful acid reflux, nausea, horrible bitter taste in my mouth (which gets much worse just before the night sweat comes on), headaches, weird tingly numbness and flushing in my face and arms, plus it has brought on all these breathing issues and chest pains (which I do think might be connected to anxiety but still really not fun!)...I do agree there is a part of me that feels like I am being poisoned. I am going to keep going with it just because I want to ensure whatever infection I may have is dealt with, but I will certainly never take it again. If you can ask for something else, then do!

I'm on my 4th day of taking Metronidazole(Flagyl) and it feels like the world hates you. You'll get headaches, nausea, weird taste in your mouth and sometimes space out. It's an effective drug because this is my second time with it so you better take it if you want to live.

Sorry to hear you're feeling so ill . I have been there too . I have taken it 3 times and each time it was awful experience . I woul however NOT stop taking them . It is a very effective antibiotic . If you stop early the infection might get worse . Make sure you eat before taking it and also take a vitamin b-12 every morning along with a probiotic .this will help a little . If you can get through the first 3 days your half way there ... You can call your doctor for advice . I wish you the best recovery .

Hi how long did you take the medicine for? It's been two months and I have the worst body pain. Doctor said its not from the medicine but I didn't have this before the medicine.

This Medication has unwanted side effects and are usually prescribed to treat STI's. It's the best med out there for it.

I have been taking Flagyl 400g since Monday afternoon. I normally have a lot of energy and simply cant move. Aching all over. Awful taste in my mouth (feels like my tongue is peeling!) stomach cramps, nausea, diarrheah, loss of appetite. Im currently trying to call a chemist or Dr n ask if I can stop. I am terrified of vomiting (as in extreme fear/phobia!) Not to mention spent half the night crying n couldnt understand why! After reading these other comments I just think OMG. Yes I feel poisoned! You might not have these side effects but obviously its a fairly common reaction. Take care!

This terrifies me. I have 3x500mg Flagyl to take starting tomorrow & all these responses have me worried that I shouldn't even start the first pill.

I was prescribed Flaygl yesterday and I took my first tablet around lunchtime after I was prescribed. Today I feel sick, I have the feeling of wanting to vomit but I cant. I'm nauseated, headache and a weird taste in my mouth all from taking one tablet. I'm prescribed 400mg, 3 times a day for 5 days. I'm scared to take the rest of the course because I don't want to feel these unwanted side affects, when I already have a large amount of pain in my tooth. What do people think?
