I was on 400mg 3 times a day and experienced most of the side effects. On the last day I had stomach pain and diarrhea so I decided not to continue with it. Not sure if the bad bacteria was gone. I would never take this medicine again.

I can say this cleared up the condition quickly but the side effects were awful: constant nausea, dizziness, dry mouth/metallic taste, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, etc. Even with these side effects, I would still recommend it.

Dizziness and headaches are intense, lasts several hours after taking. On a 3x daily / 10 day dosage. I already have intense abdominal pain and Flagyl creates nausea. Taking Viccodine for pain but can't while working. Half way done, hope I never have to take this stuff again. The cure is almost as bad as the symptoms.

It seems to be working but I am quite tired, my stomach is somewhat upset and I have something close to diarrhea in the mornings. The taste in my mouth is also nasty.
