Side Effects
-the HORRIBLE bitter, 'metalic' taste. [I noticed if I took a mouthful of a flavored drink (soda/coffee/juice) then immediately swallowed the pill and followed up with a couple of sips that I avoided the taste all toghether) -slight nausea -on day 6 I started cramping (I was due for my menstrual to start) and a few hours later was shocked to find brown pasty discharge... [which scared me until I found this site and saw that other ppl experienced the same symptoms] -darker urine for a day [reddish/brownish] -slight joint pains

Additional Thoughts
overall the symptoms were mild [except the scary discharge] and if you are serious about ridding yourself of infection then it is a great option.

Side Effects
I am SO tired all the time. And I'm dizzy, too. Other than the horrible taste in my mouth, the worst side effect is that I can't seem to concentrate. I lose my train of thought, I can't focus and I'm extremely cloudy. And my leg muscles feel week, like I've been skiing all day, but I've barely walked at all.

Side Effects
I was on two rounds of flagyl after diarrhea associated with taking Clindamycin. It is hard to say whether the flagyl made my diarrhea worse or if what was causing my diarrhea simply didn't respond to the flagyl. Bottom line: this stuff was nasty and didn't help control the diarrhea. My new GI prescribed Vanco but I'm worried about taking it since every time I've taken a prescription drug it seems to make me feel worse.
