I have taken this twice before & am about to start another 7day treatment for my recurring condition. I have never enjoyed the experience in the past & even though I have the prescription already I haven't mustered up the courage to start it yet. The last time I took it I forgot it wasn't supposed to be mixed w/ alcohol & I took literally 2 small sips of a beer. Within 30-45 mins I was vomiting heavily. It was so bad I couldn't even keep water down & it was the single most miserable experience of my entire life. The vomiting / dry heaving was so bad I had to go to the ER in the middle of the night. They had to give me anti-nausea medication & when I told them what happened they said sometimes they even prescribe this to heavy alcoholics to deter drinking. I told my Dr this time around that I have had bad experiences w/ it in the past & he recommended the insertion but then I got to Walgreens & it was $85. $85 for a treatment that's not permanent? No thanks. I'll take the flagyl. I don't recall having the other common symptoms (depression, loss of appetite, etc.) but I am def refraining from ANY alcohol after an expensive ER visit. The taste is terrible & melts the minute it hits your mouth. You can't swallow it fast enough! It works though!

At the time of receiving medication I had, had B.V for about 2 weeks and was TOTALLY FED UP!!!!! I was becoming hopeless and depressed because to me vaginal odor is one of the most saddening things a woman can have. I tried the feminine washes, yogurt, NOTHING helped, and in fact I believe the wash made the smell 10times worse. This was my first time having BV, so I went to my GYN and was prescribed the generic for Flagyl. By the 3rd day my smell was gone and today was my last day taking them. I’ve been able to have sex and the smell is totally gone. The taste is bad if it touches your tongue but I always took it with some kind of juice or milk and never had a problem. I had no vomiting or loose bowel, I was a slight bit more tired but that is all. I am so happy with the results of this medicine, I just hope I never get B.V again!!!!!

I was prescribed Flagyl for bacterial vaginosis. It killed the vaginosis. Unfortunately it also killed my appetite. It got so bad that I was counting calories to make sure I was getting the minimum 800 a day the average adult needs for basic subsistence. I was like the walking dead by the end of it. Never again with the oral version of this drug. I would consider the cream though.

Taking this medicine for BV, definitely has cleared the Vaginosis but have had several side effects. Leaves a horrible metallic taste in my mouth and constantly queasy. Vomited a few times, generally first thing in the morning with the metallic taste. Big loss of appetite as well.

I am taking this medication for BV. I am on day 3 and now started to get stomach pains and my urine is dark. I also have not noticed a difference in my BV. As for taking the pain, no issues swallowing it and the taste does not seem to be a problem for me.
