Feeling Really Bad On Flagyl (Page 2)

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.

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

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.

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 .

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.

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!

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.

Omg flagyl is awful! I am pron to C-diff. This all started when I had a lab make a top denture. One night of sleeping with them and I couldn't swallow and the roof of my mouth was raw. Out they came and to the dr I went. Omg noooo antibiotic time and instant fear set in. Was put on cipro and flagyl. Since having c-diff 3 times prior I was so anxious I wanted to die. So day on on cipro and flagyl instant diarrhea! Don't take a rocket scientist to know after already having it 3 times. Call the dr and said up the flagyl! I'm mortified! Makes me feel like I'm in hell! Over all sick feeling, horrible taste in my mouth,so tired and mentally spent that I just simply want to give up. I took flagyl many time, had the cappy taste but never this very unwell feeling. Can't sleep want to puke when I take it. Why would any company make a medicine like this and it is not stopping the diareaah. Watch that stuff! Does no good for me to call the dr because of course I get a larger dose prescribed. I am older now and it is affecting me much harsher. I swear sometimes I would rather be put in a coma! If this drug starts making you feel like this,Get to your dr. If they will listen. I think all Dr's should have to experience all the affects these medicines they prescribe! They all should have to experience c-diff at least one damn time in their life, then maybe things would change.
