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.

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.
