Metronidazole Lasting Side Effects (Page 33) (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...

Hi, Anna. There's a 83% chance the lesions will disappear over the course of three months. But symptoms can still persist even if the lesions are gone (mine persisted past the three months but gradually improved. And I did the same thing you're doing--didn't see friends, didn't go out. I barely managed to make it to work but the first six weeks I couldn't. I'd always be late and working at quarter-speed). I'm not sure about the peripheral and optic neuropathy, though--I don't know if those are related to the lesions.

Anna. I would be interested in your diagnosis on ur tongue. My hands would get red and burning hot. Then feel rough like sand paper. My feet used to, but not so much anymore hands still will one and a while. I don't know if it was allergic reaction. They told me to list it as such, but allergist said more likely side effects to meds. All agreed it shouldn't be in your system so long. I wish I would have detox the first year with sauna & etc. Not sure if it would have helped, but it almost felt like the med was trying to find its way out from my palms, soles of feet and tongue.

I'm so sorry, Anna. I really wish I could help more--I wish you lived closer and we could talk in real life. All I can tell you is that I believe you and I hope things begin to improve. And if you do have any questions that you think I might be able to help with, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi again ksk
To me the doctors said that the burning feet is neuropathy. But i also look weird under my foot. Like you said, like sandpaper. My skin on my whole body are so dry now and look like sandpaper.
Im trying to detox With good food, only organic, much vegetables , fruits and berries, and take alot of supplements.
When i hear from the doctor about the tounge, then i can tell you what they said. I think its some sort of candida or a furry tounge. But i Tried With medication, but that didnt work. Sometimes it Feels like its burning even on the tounge, so weird

One of my specialists gave me a prescription for something called Dukes Mouthwash. It has to be prepared by a compounding lab but it does help a lot with the mouth pain and sores. It does contain a small amount of prednisone and some other goodies. You might check it out. You don't use it all the time. Just in short doses but it does work. Just a suggestion.

Hi Anna,
I also have had severe depression crying spells that have gotten worse along with brain fog, feeling out of it. Def have your b12 tested and iron. It seems like a lot of my mental symptoms, shortness of breath maybe iron defiency. B12 def helps clear up the fog, I am going to try ferritin pills I received from hematologist and see if they help. I def think I notice difference when I eat good and regularly vs in the beginning was very nauseas couldn't eat. I will let everyone know how it goes. Hang in there, what state do you live in, would be nice like Erin said for all of us to get together in person. I live Long Island NY.

Hi flagylsucks and Thanks
Ohh i hope that this will get better as you said. When Did you see a change to the better? The insomnia drives me mad. Did you also had headpressure? Earpressure? Vision problems? Balance problems? Dizzieness? Brainfog? And so on
The fatigue is awful to, cant hardly stand. And the burning, tingling, numbness all over body.
I do take probiotics, the stomach is terrible, can not eat much either, have lost a lot of weight. I hope that everybody can heal from this awful flagyl
I took 400mg, 3times a Day, for 6days
What Did you do for the depression and panicattacks?

Hi Erin, where do you live? Do you or anyone else correlate reoccurring symptoms during period. Since I have been keeping a journal it has all my symptoms are around my menstrual cycle. Prior to this drug no issues during menstrual cycles. I'm thinking I lose blood during this time and I'm low in iron so this is related and also if I take b12 the brain fog lifts. During my menstrual cycle now though is the only time I can sleep since the overdose in the shot of b12. Are you taking supplements any you found useful or certain foods. I have been to 10 drs at least which none have been very helpful. A neurologist, psychiatrist,endocrinologist,gynocologist,hematologist, naturopath, accupuncturist, internists, optomologist, cardiologist, plus some. Thanks melissa

Hi Anna,
I feel your pain, my symptoms seem to fluctuate. When I was taking vit b12 n d was slowly getting better until I got shot b12 and through my body from chronic fatigue to speed. It cleared up the brain fog but I have had insomnia since. It also almost gave me a heart attack and my heart rate is still high. So I know b12 small doses can be helpful. I def see a relation to my symptoms and menstrual cycle . It has been 10 mnths for me. Your english is very good by the way.

Hi melissa
Im sorry for you to, going through this is a nightmare, for all of us
So your symptoms Come and go? Mine are there all The time

About The fast heart rate, i have that to, every day, scary, my blood has gone Wild
I cant do anything, and my heart begins to beat fast, awful.
