This is my 1st time taking this medication. I have only had side effects of increased sleepiness and slight fogginess/dizziness, but they are mild compared to the symptoms of my infection. I have 1 day left of an RX of 500mg 2x a day x 7 days. Symptoms of infections began clearing after the 2nd day of use. I would certainly use this again if I had the unfortunate luck of getting the BV again. ... Show Full Comment

As far as the taste of the medication, it is nasty, but just take it with food and any taste will disappear right away.

Wow, after reading everyone's comments I feel very relieved at my own experience with this drug. I was prescribed to take 500mg twice daily. The worse for me was the taste, and stomach pains immediately after taking the medicine. The pains weren't very frequent however and went away after I gave my stomach a minute to relax.

Wow, after reading everyone's comments I feel very relieved at my own experience with this drug. I was prescribed to take 500mg twice daily. The worse for me was the taste, and stomach pains immediately after taking the medicine. The pains weren't very frequent however and went away after I gave my stomach a minute to relax. I agree, the taste was absolutely horrible, I had no idea about that. I realized it was easier to take a gulp of water and sort of plop the pill in my mouth and swish and swallow before ever having to taste it. Also, I made sure to take the pill every time on a very full stomach and since I don't eat meat that meant loading up on a lot of carbs. I do recall feeling very moody, irritable, and wanting to sleep a lot but at the time I attributed those feelings on other things. Seems like other people have felt the same way however. Overall, my experience wasn't horrible.

Just took the last pill of the seven day prescription. Didn't have any side effects and the meds seem to be working. The pills do dissolve quickly and taste horrible. But that is a small price to pay. I have used the vaginal meds in the past and the pills are less messy and easier.

This medicine seemed to have cleared up my BV but has horrible side effects and the pill tastes horrible. The pill tastes so horrible in fact it almost made me vomit several times, and I never have a problem taking medication of any kind normally. As for the side effects it makes you very lethargic and fuzzy headed. I also had horrible nightmares every time I fell asleep as well as hallucinations. ... Show Full Comment

This medicine seemed to have cleared up my BV but has horrible side effects and the pill tastes horrible. The pill tastes so horrible in fact it almost made me vomit several times, and I never have a problem taking medication of any kind normally. As for the side effects it makes you very lethargic and fuzzy headed. I also had horrible nightmares every time I fell asleep as well as hallucinations. It is also aggravating my chronic migraine condition, so bad in fact that 3 of my prescription migraine pills in a combo did not work. The nightmares I had were so vivid and scary I woke up in tears several times. Once waking up from a nightmare the hallucinations were so bad I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Now I have an insomnia problem because I dont want to go to sleep due to the horrible nightmares. I dont suggest any one take this medicine it is horrible and can be hazardous to your health, any alternative would be better.
