Has anybody had any side effects from metronidazole? I've been taking them for a week and I seem to be extra tired and had a lot of headaches. Not sure if it is caused by these

    I have been on that medication for a month now and the side effects are horrible. I have stayed tired, kept headaches, a metallic taste in my mouth, decreased appetite, soft stools. It's totally messes up your GI track. Make sure to eat yogurt in the morning like activia and take a probiotic at night and continue to do that for 3 months after coming off of the medication.

    Oh that explains why I have a weird headache.   Although I do feel like my bacterial vaginitis is still with me after a three day course of clydmyocin after the metro gel..  

    Any of you ladies dealing with the pain and burning after the medicine ? I had a double whammy a yeast and bv infection.  My dr said if this doesn't work next step is boric acid suppositories ...my only symptom right now is pain and burning which is very annoying and uncomfortable and I feel it more when I sit down ..
