Metronidazole Lasting Side Effects (Page 23) (Top voted first)

I have been taking this medication for 7 days and off of it since a week and still have severe side effects, abdominal cramps, severe headaches, dizziness, unsteadiness... How long is it expected to last? It was prescribed with Ciprofloxacin to me and I take Entrophen on a regular basis...

REPORT

So I was prescribed with this medication for a oral infection under 3 of my teeth and had to get bone grafting. I was suppose to take it for 10 days 3 times a day. After about the 3rd day I started feeling weird light headed and unfocused. So I told my doctor and he recommended I keep taking it. So I did after day 7 I started having g severe headaches, sore throat hard time standing and blurred foggy vision. I have been off the medication for 1 day not and the effects are getting worse. What should I do??

Hi Chris,

It is a nasty nasty drug, which can linger in your system and cause extremely nasty side effects. Try to detox the healthy way as soon as possible.

Try to keep calm, it can also cause severe anxiety.

Sending prayers your way! Keep positive.

Guys. It is time for us to band together for this. So many of us have been tortured by these deadly antibiotics and we need to do something so more people aren't hurt. {edited for privacy}. Let's beat these drugs and the companies who dish them out like candy. Justice will be served!!

Hey guys I'm scared, though. I just took 3x 500mg Metro for the first time yesterday for a parasite and already I'm experiencing symptoms. Doctor basically ignored me. This is seriously disturbing, I hope 1500 mg won't affect me for life... I will NEVER take again. I'm thinking we need to collectively rise up to stop this madness...

To all who are hopeless:

A person who calls herself Dgirl ealier on in this discussion said that going to Dr. Neal Nathan's clinic in California has helped her make a full recovery within 3 months. She says the doctor prescribed her Cholestyramine, which worked wonders. If you're struggling, desperate, and ready to go to any lengths for victory over this- try that clinic.

Another person, BigTex, has taken Activated Charcoal with repeated Sauna therapy and has seen results.

A few things to try:
1. Visit Dr. Neal Nathan's clinic in California
2. Take Cholestyramine
3. Take Activated Charcoal with frequent Sauna trips.

There are a number of support groups for these conditions online. There are also a number of local news reports coming out covering the damage these drugs have done to us. MD's are clueless. We have to educate THEM.

My prayers go out to all of you affected by this horrid medication. I took metronidazole 3 times a day for a week and it made me terribly ill, I stopped it yesterday and I am up with my bloated stomach and have not been to the toilet in 3 days, has anyone else suffered with constipation? Ty

I took metronidazle starting 26/01/15 for gastroenteritis. after two days I stopped because it was making me worse. when my parents found out I stopped they told me to continue a few days later. I was no longer consistent with taking the doses. now in march I feel weak in my muscles and have a mild headache. also losing weight too and this is so frustrating because im an athlete. I feel hopeless!

Same thing happened to me. I'm an athlete and I can know longer exercise. I stopped the meds 3 weeks ago and my symptoms haven't gotten any better, they've only gotten worse, and I've lost 20 pounds. My next move is to fly up to California to see Stephen Danielson, he seems to know exactly what is going on.

So glad I found this information. I'm taking it for a infection from my tooth. I'm super sick and it's been day 2 and I need to take it for 1 week. 250 mg x 4 times a day.
I'm worried that these side effects are going to be long lasting. I've been sooo emotional (crying and angry) for no reason, getting the shakes, dizzy, no energy at all, can't sleep and I've had depression/anxiety in the past and now I'm worried. My husband says "it's all in your head" I wish the dentist and pharmacy told me information before I started taking it.

How is everyone feeling ? Have your symptoms disappeared ?

so i suggest you research it. this site wont allow me to link to it. transfer factor by 4life co. also turmeric cucurmin juice help me to detox some flouride in my body. i get boils that time. after it was removed i felt better but i believe this drug really suppresses the immune system. that's why we develop many diseases. transfer factor can boost and educate our immune system to protect our body from some foreign substances. i suggest after detox .. restore many healthy foods including this. it has colostrum shitake mushroom and many more.
