I almost did not take this medicine because of the reviews I read. I do not like taking meds as is, so my anxiety of new medicines, mixed with the horrible comments from this particular medicine, was enough to make me halt taking the pills for 5 days after getting the prescription. I decided to try the natural route first (yogurt, tea oil, etc). Finally, when I realized my condition was not getting better with natural remedies, I sucked it up and started this medication. I'll be darned...I had ZERO side effects. Not even a headache! I took this medication after breakfast in the morning and after dinner in the evening, so that probably help rid any nausea that would have occurred from an empty stomach. As for the taste people complain about...Well, I've had meals that have tasted worse than this med. The key is to not let the pill sit on your tongue for several seconds. Just pop it in your mouth and gulp it down. The only reason I did not give this medicine a 5 star is because I don't feel it completely got rid of my problem. I have a check up coming, so we will see what they say. And the obvious - don't drink alcohol with this medication. That was the hardest part for me because I love a glass of wine with dinner every night. All in all, this medication is very mild, especially if you're a person who tolerates medicines pretty well.

Terrifying. That is the only word that can sum up my experience on this drug. Before, I'd taken the gel and didn't have a problem. This 2nd go, I was given the pill. You've already read about the horribad taste. My problems started after two doses. (2x/day for 7 days) What follows is like nothing I've ever been through: Took first pill at night, went to bed.

Terrifying. That is the only word that can sum up my experience on this drug. Before, I'd taken the gel and didn't have a problem. This 2nd go, I was given the pill. You've already read about the horribad taste. My problems started after two doses. (2x/day for 7 days) What follows is like nothing I've ever been through: Took first pill at night, went to bed. Woke up feeling nauseated, but took the 2nd pill. 20 min later, I'm sitting on my kitchen floor, pulling myself together to eat some more crackers to fight back the vomit. I started to freak out that, somehow, I was pregnant. That right there should have been my clue. Aside from that being impossible, it started an entire string of irrational, anxious & downright insane set of thinking that continued throughout the day and into the next. My heart would suddenly start racing while I was standing still, then it was suddenly back to normal. I'd start shivering uncontrollably for 15 minutes, then I'd be sweating like Ryan Seacrest watching Brokeback Mountain. I was 3 sec away from a full blown panic attack during a training session at work. After I managed to calm myself, I almost fell asleep at my desk. My abdomen was SWOLLEN and hurt at one point. My joints ached. My work day was finished off by a piercing migraine. By the time I got home, I'd been through the gauntlet of emotions. I felt unhinged. I was certain the men in white coats would be at my front door waiting. Also, forget eating anything. It wasn't just because this drug made me feel vomity, I had NO interest. It's taken 4 days to completely be rid of ALL my symptoms. Taking antihistamine was a Godsend; 45 min after the Benadryl on the 3rd day, I didn't feel like I was crawling out of my skin. The NP tried to tell me to keep taking the Flagyl; I didn't have kind words for that. She tried to tell me I was having a panic attack or heart problems. THANK YOU everyone who reviewed; you're the reason I know these problems were because of this #$^&ing drug.

I started taking this medication and within ten minutes after taking the third dose I started seeing black spots and the right half of my vision was blaked out. And then I had a massive headache. Went to the ER to see what was wrong. I guess the medicine had given me a migrane. I have never had a migrane in my life. This was all accompanied with nausea. Very interesting side effects.

Went to the ER to see what was wrong. I guess the medicine had given me a migrane. I have never had a migrane in my life. This was all accompanied with nausea. Very interesting side effects. Stopped taking it after that and was prescribed Cleocin.
