Horrible side effects. Flu like symptoms. Throwing up, feeling of not being normal, etallic taste, fever, constant nausea. Horrible horrible drug. Marijuana is the only thing thatâ??s helped with my nausea. Depressed, no sexual feeling.... donâ??t even want to get up to pee.... I hate this drug. DO NOT TAKE, THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS.

After reading reviews I was very nervous to take this med, so I wanted to add my experience to the online noise. I've not had any negative side effects, not even the metallic taste, not even based on the power of suggestion. My symptoms cleared up after a few (3-4) days and I'm currently finishing it up. The pharmacist (and reviews) put the fear of god in me in regards to drinking, so I ... Show Full Comment

I've not had any negative side effects, not even the metallic taste, not even based on the power of suggestion. My symptoms cleared up after a few (3-4) days and I'm currently finishing it up. The pharmacist (and reviews) put the fear of god in me in regards to drinking, so I'm avoiding that, but I can see how it would be easy to slip up based on the fact that I otherwise feel totally fine. Definitely not worth figuring out if that is the side effect I would feel and I just have two days left.

I'm 44 and this is my first time experiencing BV. I noticed BV and after 2 weeks I finally went to the Dr. It's an embarrassing condition, ain't it Ladies?! I tried natural remedies (Apple Cider Vinegar, Tree Tea oil) but those did not work. I'm on day 4 using Flagyl and the smell has gone away.

I tried natural remedies (Apple Cider Vinegar, Tree Tea oil) but those did not work. I'm on day 4 using Flagyl and the smell has gone away. Thankfully up to now, I have not experienced any of the side effects listed in the comments (I feel for you all). I've been taking Flagyl with orange juice before having breakfast and after dinner. 500mg twice a day for 10 days. I'll report back if there are any anomalies.

I have taken this medication for BV about 3 or 4 times in my life now. Each time has been very different experience. Ive taken the gel and it has NEVER worked. Ive been dealing with BV for the last few months and have tried EVERYTHING naturally to make it go away. I finally sucked it up and got a script for flagyl. I'm on day 5.

I have taken this medication for BV about 3 or 4 times in my life now. Each time has been very different experience. Ive taken the gel and it has NEVER worked. Ive been dealing with BV for the last few months and have tried EVERYTHING naturally to make it go away. I finally sucked it up and got a script for flagyl. I'm on day 5. Let me tell you, ive prepared for this and its side effects for sometime. MAKE SURE you literally eat a giant bowl of spaghetti before you take the pill. And when I take the pill, I leave a tiny bit of food in my mouth, put some water in my mouth, then put the nasty pill in my mouth and gulp. That way I cant taste the pill. I made the mistake of having a glass of Sangria on day two and all be darned, I was vomiting the next day and felt horrible. The dr gave me the pills for 10 days, but I'm tempted to stop at 7, but I REALLY want this infection gone at once! I will be devastated if its not gone when my antibiotics are finished. Ive also been taking a very strong vaginal probiotic so I hope and pray that works. Flagyl is not fun, but ive learned to make sure you eat a TON and it wont be as bad. FOOD FOOD FOOD then flagyl! oh and chewing on gum or candies during the day helps with the awful taste in my mouth. Good luck to who ever has to take this horrible stuff!
