I've taken this medication several times, over years for BV. The odor and discharge seems to clear up by the 3rd day. Normally, no major side effects that I'm aware of other than the horrible metallic taste and taste disturbances.

The medication didn't bother me at first, but when I got to my last few doses I felt terrible! I felt like I had been hit by the flu. The metallic taste was annoying and the nausea and dizziness was 24/7! The rare side effects hit me and I have quit my remaining pills because I felt so horrible.

Took this for BV (500 mg, 2x a day for 7 days). Had to stop on day 3 because it caused numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. It also made be feel "drugged" for lack of a better word and gave me severe headaches and constipation. I never have reactions to drugs so i was surprised. I am asking for the cream instead!

I've taken the medication with Food and on day 4 I'm still getting the following symptoms: sleepiness, dizziness, blurred vision and confusion. I have never had an antibiotic give me these side effects. Everyone is different but an hour after taking it, my vision is so distorted that my husband had to carry me to the bed. My Dr said DON'T DRINK ANY ALCOHOL, PHARMACISTS SAID DON'T EVEN USE MOUTHWASH IN THE MORNING. I don't understand how some of you are drinking while taking this strong antibiotic. I'm 38, 128LBs and healthy.
