Metronidazole Lasting Side Effects (Page 34)
(Newest replies 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 cyrill
So Nice to hear from you. You seem to heal more and more. Thats good when you have good days. Do you feel like you did before then?
What kind off pain do you still have?
Im 13 months out, and for me, its not going good. I eat healthy, no Coffee, no gluten, only organic. But for me it feels like my body is shutting down. Tell me more about your diet? Do you take probiotics?

I would like to suggest that we all seek a solution that works for us. Personally if I'm having veggies and fruits I'm eating it rather than drinking it.
Finally had my annual physical and doc said that this Ataxia was caused by the metronidazole... now I'm to see a neurologist to see if we can figure out a solution that does NOT involve drugs. Meanwhile I'm working with a nutritionist that has helped get my gut to move well for the first time in 30 yrs... an issue that the doc never spent any time on solving. Next, I did some online research about ataxia and learned that I need to stop drinking coffee or any caffiene and be totally gluten free (OBTW - I went gluten free - about 99% of the time last year and lost 35 lbs.. and then the gut issues caused another 10 lbs loss.. NOT complaining mind you...
But I can't get to see the neurologist until end of month so I've started working one on one with a fellow who can teach me tai chi and may graduate to yoga if I can get limber enough.. So, will report back when I've met with the neurologist.. Meanwhile I'm using a cane when walking anywhere outside the house.

How are you guys? im living with this for 3 years already.. Please guys dont believe in all medicine.. Come back to nature and try everything to be better but choose non toxic things... Im on a plant based diet, juicing a lot of fresh fruits, nuts and seeds.. Cannabis and be positive ..i see a difference. i am more active now and my hair and skin became good.. Medicine and my diet makes me so old... So i think the thing we can trust now for healing is god.. Not man made.. I have pain yes but days get better where i can be a normal and there are days that are worse where the body needs a lot of vitamins and rest. we are poison.. But we are all hopeful that this would no longer control ourselves.. I learn to hope now and to dream again.. actually plant based diet makes me forget about my condition ..that i was poison. i think all the things ive tried ..this is the only thing that stops my inflammation ..try and try to be better but make sure it is non toxic things.. and connect to god for help ..to dream and be happy again even if i have this pain ..i think i can live with this and still i am happy ..cultured nuts and seeds help. i make nut milks ..cake made by fruit. Salad.. Baked seeds ..and a hit of cd. godbless us all. have a good day to all.

But thank you for the info about dosage. I didn't realize you could take so much so quickly. That's kinda scary.

I agree with Erin. They told me The same thing. That it could not be flagyl, because it was out off my system a long time ago. The sad thing is that they Will not belive that flagyl can do damage. To me They said that it was "all in my head ". They are so wrong.
But like i wrote before Marie. Dont panic. Maybe it Will pass quickly.

Yeah, my doctor said the same thing, Marie. So did Anne's and pretty much everyone I've talked to who's had a bad reaction to this drug. Sorry to say, but the medical community is in denial about the dangers of drugs. You are not being a worry wart--they are being purposefully ignorant.

Ah, thank you all for the info. I didn't realize they could give you that much, that quickly. I've talked to people before who took metronidazole because it was simply their go-to antibiotic. And it only works on very particular infections.

Thank u for ure concern on why I took so much at once Erin, that is why I am here, however my doctor ordered it like that. I did call the pharmacy this morning and talk to the pharmacist about it she assured me this should not be related to Flagyl due to the fact it's been in my system for three days already I just hope she is right! Maybe I'm a worry wart! And I hope all u ladies and ure family recover very soon from this medication! Best wishes!

Erin
They can give you flagyl just one time, and then they give you 2000 mg one time. So Marie took it as she should.

Marie It can be flagyl. But dont panic. It dosent mean that you are going to be worse. Or that it dosent go away. Give it time and see. I hope that it goes away for you.

My niece, who is a pharmacist just ended up in hospital with a hematoma on the brain.. and they checked her liver function and found that years of taking Aleve and Ibuprofen has damaged her liver. So best be careful with ALL meds...

Marie, why did you take it all at once? At this point, it doesn't matter, but please never do that with any medication ever. Tylenol killed 300 people last year, mainly due to liver failure from people overdosing. But to answer your question, yes. It can be the metronidazole. It can injure the brain and it may take time to heal. Some people recover quickly--others take longer. There are a few, like Anne and I, who haven't fully recovered but there's a higher chance of recovery than not recovering.

Is this normal? And why would I be okay and then boom have this feeling, does anyone think this is from this medications? I am worried. Thank you!

Thats exactly what i have. Dizziness and off balance. in a bigger place, its getting worse, like my brain cant handle everything. I wonder if it has something to do with bloodpressure also? Because now i have low and high blood pressure since i took flagyl. I wonder if it is a autonomic dysfunction. How long was it since you took flagyl/metrodinazole? What does The doctors say about all this?
Im going to see another neurologist Again.

I'm still having difficulty walking. Inside a room I'm fine except when I first stand up. Outside I feel unsteady as if my brain can't calculate where I am relative to the bigger space.

Well, all the tests have been done and according to these tests all is well. I've figured out a lot of things myself but still have a feeling of being unbalanced and have difficulty walking. I was advised to see a neurologist and given a name and number but when I called they said they didn't have an order so couldn't see me. About 3 weeks later when the results of the other tests were in I was called to hear the results (all ok) and I had to remind them that I had not seen the neurologist because he had no order. So, supposedly I'll get a call from him some time in the future.

Meanwhile, back on the farm.... my gut issues are greatly improved based on my discussions with a nutritionist....who reminded me that without a gall bladder my stomach has a hard time digesting food... and that inflamed stomach that the endoscopy showed and for which I was advised to take antacids... well, I can't see inside but when the nutritionist advised me to take HCL with pepsin and I combined it with Ox Bile my gut started moving normally for the first time in years. And all that odd movement going on in my gut and the back pain has subsided.. no more back pain, and as long as I take the HCL and Ox Bile then everything moves nicely every day!!!
Now if I could just get my legs to work and my balance right!!!
