Metronidazole Lasting Side Effects (Page 29) (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...

Thanks cyrill for your words, it means alot. Have no one to talk to. Endeed up in ER, and the doctors just saying its out of my system a long time ago. But i feel so sick. Never thought a medication could harm People like this. Its awful. I hope this gets better sometimes. Can not sleep, and have a lot of nightmares and im waking up With panic attacks, have Never feelt like this before, so scary. And crying all Day. I took flagyl for 6 days. 400 mg, 3 Times a Day. Thanks for your advice about the food. Can hardly eat, nausea all Day long. But im only eating good food for my stomach. No sugar, gluten and so on. Have been taking a good probiotics for a week now. So you began to see improvments after 5 mounths? What side effects dig you have from the beginning? Feels like i have it all. Cant hardly walk,because of the dizzinezz and blurry vision. Haha... Here in sweden cannabis is Illegal, so that is not an option for me. But good that its working for you cyrill. Im trying to be strong and fight, but some days are so hard. If i could turn back time, i would. So angry that i didnt read about this flagyl on the internet, before i started it. Scary stuff, now i will be so afraid With all medication.

again I will say those three pills do more harm mentallyas well as physically and suppose to help. I dont think so you loose your desire to want to get better. You looe weight cause you cant eat, your mental mind cause you cant sleep. You are like a zoombi.

I know the exact feeling yea im almost crazy that time i was only 22 that time. i want to cut my pulse because everyone says to me i should rest but its not me. how could i rest if i feel like im poison and it running through my blood.. so i wait, im crying all day im begging praying to god .what was happening? haha anyway i wait because i cannot even walk far, i wait everyday, i ease the pain without anything because i dont know what is best i just hope, my tears just flow. i live in a condo before so it was a jail for me my sis only the one assist me and buy healthy stuff for me. i expose my self in sunlight, sauna, etc etc i dont know what really helps but only time. yea most people say there is no reason to keep that drug in your system. we are also prone to have infections due to our imbalance cells.. so detox and keep your body alkalized is important. but its like a bomb hit your nerves organs, cells, suppress your immune system and bla bla thats why it takes time to heal. the good news was, it will heal, it will cannot back to normal but it will heal ..as long you never get anything to make them suppress again but instead make them boost and educate it. i dont read to much story's on ivs or so ever that helps ..you can choose what you want to go its your life ..have faith in god. dont blame yourself its just your only a victim. if only we live and love each other no one will hurt. our nature is very rich. almost ready for us and enough for us to make us alive its cruel and greedy world. many of us hurt. even cannabis that god gift they banned it. all things was balanced for us the air we breath bla bla god doesnt want you to hurt, god want us to loved each other but some people dont believe on him, i just simply know we have creator and that was the really thing help me ..is to have faith ..months by months i see improvements. they say you are what you think.. i know its hard but they say all things can be practiced, can be study if you give enough time and effort you can notice that you can do impossible things ..good oils help, bone broth, and try not to sleep if you are that full sometimes our organs hardly didnt recognize even we eat healthy foods. we need to educate them, dont try to much thinking your condition. think as a human being i try to normalize my habits as well. but i cant survive in city, calcium, magnesium and some viatmins can help. you can do juicing or a magic bullet and i dont read to much scary blog i read healing story not floxie, or this drug but many kind of and survival healing story ..i also been in er before, because i was bleeding heavy after a week course of flagyl but its just a waste of time ,some doctors just look sorry for you. so i need to accept it by this, you may include yourself as lucky if you didnt took to much meds. so my advise is never took any pain killers. or so ever that will help you for temporary time and never contribute as to your healing process. my sleeps came back to normal, seizure, tingling sensation, acid reflux under control. depression, anxiety, headache, and many almost gone.. there some bad days that i feel like having a flu but under control. very far from what i am before. detoxing and restoring is important, stress and sleep all that will help. nothing is permanent in this world all change dna cells bla bla they change wether for the good or for the bad its up to us.. its a damage yes but someday it will no longer control our lives. so its up to you still if what way you want for you healing process ..i have alive rocks came from the mountain and store it in a pot. im juicing almost leaves that can be eaten or can do salads. i do moringa powder, bitter melon leaves, turmeric, powder and coconut oils i do it on my own, for now i think bone broth will help you and a lot of non pesticide leafy greens, and yes probiotics, i do my own probiotics, im eating paleo for 2 months but i dont like so i switch to starchy and beans bla bla.. juicing vegetables helps me a lot. and i stop craving on junk foods and fast foods. attending church choir helps me.. and the way i think, i almost go other province with joy and excitement because i can get my honey by myself with friends. i almost do traveling. and i move as much possible. walking and work, i was surprise that i thought im going to be on wheel chair soon.. but that was not happen. what we think sometimes actually doesnt gonna happen if we dont have the fear to eat us, i dont want to post here my scary story i dont even think of it now ..i can work full time now. i also choose what my work is. i like books. i like articles and the things that make me happy. i love guitar im a guitarist before but now i can play drums. haha i also can sing now and im studying a lot of songs. have hope and have a speedy recovery to you all.

Hi cyrill,
I was wondering if you had any issues with insomnia and if anything helped you. I had for the most part crying spells depression chronic fatique until a dr offered me a b12 shot And almost had a heart attack and made things worse changed to chronic severe insomnia, high heart rate and rapid weight loss. The only thing got better was the brain fog but I'd rather sleep all day then not be able to sleep at all. Thanks Melissa

Hi melissa, yes ive been like that for 2 months, 4 hours sleep and feeling like i'm in outer space in the middle life and death envy people and kind of paranoid, when people looking at me. i say to myself that time that i should fix myself as they noticed my condition. but that was so far now i can talk and outgoing like a normal person. i can also tolerate disco bars songs :) but only chatting there with friends and dance ..my doc also prescribed me dexamethasone (steroid) and an antidepressant but im checking it out on the internet. i get scared and i stay away from doctors and pharmacy, i remember i took activated charcoal and i get a heavy bleeding in my period time. i think that would really help.. iron would be beneficial. you can take supplements as well. or taking it in food. i dont like iv's. and not so much believe in them. it eases and lessens the pain by itself. they said nerves might die if we didnt treat it by drugs.. no its not. it heals itself after 2 months. My sleep is back to a normal 8 hours a day and sometimes nap at afternoon. when theres a day that i skip my sleeping time due to work in the next day, i slept 10 to 12 hours without waking up. yea theres a time its like that. over thinking also gives me insomnia sometimes even now. until now when i think too much for the things that i like to do it gives me insomnia and maybe about 6 hours to sleep only. try to relax and meditate ..all the symptoms i experience all that.. the more drugs you take the more ill you feel. its like that.. that the cause of problem. its same like chemotherapy drugs it has amount of high fluoride and chemical toxins to the human body ..its man made its not nature and love. its devil, toxins, illness and fear all the bad things haha. thats why I would not believe in it. i soaked overnight the lady finger plant and it helped with the gut.. sauna helps me to sleep. sometimes i do it in my home with a blanket and heater then i get tired. i would sleep with no air conditioning once a week. i do that before especially my 5 months healing ..but this year not so often coz i feel lazy hahah. also i get boring if i stay mostly in the house but i never forget my diet.

Connie, you said the right Word, zombie. I feel like my hole body have died. Awful! The insomnia is really bad, if i have a good night, i can sleep 3 hours. Thats not good to heal the body. Do anybody have any suggestion to sleep better? Im trying acupuncture now, hope that it helps soon.

Thanks for your encouragement ihavefait7. I need some hope. I agree With you, flagyl shouldnt been prescribed for anyone. Its toxic and a poision. I hope it gets better With time, because i cant function at all. Today i have a really bad headache, Feels like the brain is mashed. Tried to go to the store Today, but everything was spinning. And my ears are so sensitive to sounds. I have all The side effects all Day and night. If it could just go for a while, then i would probably feel some hope. I will try more acupuncture, most for my anxiety and depression, and the insomnia. Maybe the numbness and tingling will be better to. I hope. Eating healthy is important to of course. Do you have any suggestions on good supplements?

Thanks Cyrill, i also have felt that out of it depersonalizations that got better w the b12 which led me to regrettably allow the dr to give me a shot wout checking my b12 levels first I frlt desperate to feel better. Did you have insomnia for mnths ? I have had it for 5 mnths since shot and the shot changed my heart rate took all the sweat out of me and no saliva now I'm losing more weight then from the antibiotic. Maybe hematologist mentioned my iron was little low after shot but don't really think that would make a difference with my sleep. I never had issues sleeping all my life and the only time I can sleep now is when I have my period. I try tylenol pm and Zanex but I don't wanna be addicted to Zanex and if I take something with Benedryl I get the crying spells back. Soo weird. I have never had any children yet and I am soo sad to think this has ruined my life. I now would just be happy to sweat sleep and be the normal healthy person I was before all this. Never in my life was I ever sad or feel like giving up this flagyl really causes brain damage, I just hope me getting the shot didn't prevent me from ever being the same again. Before the shot I had like chronic fatique from the antibiotic I would be up for 4 hrs wanna go right back to sleep, it's very weird how then my body from the shot went off to pure adrenaline limitless energy soo weird. I'm like now Groundhog Day everyday wishing the fatique part back.

Hi Anna,
I don't know if you are experiencing depersonalization which is similar to some of your listed symptoms feeling out of it brain fog feeling not clear. But b12 helps with this just take the tiniest dose I took an injection now soo much worse too much energy insomnia but in small amounts clears up many symptoms. Happy New year hope it's a better one for all of us!

Okay, so you got b 12 injection. So you cant sleep at all now? I took b12, but stoped, my stomach isnt right, and i have lost a lot of weight this 2 last months. I have terrible insomnia too. Cant hardly sleep at all. How long have you had side effects, was it from flagyl?
