Currently taking this med. Side effects: headache and feeling sick. Just eat and try to get through it.

I've just started taking Flagyl, first pill about two hours ago, I feel dizzy little bit uneasy in my stomach, this is all a result of about a week of feeling unwell, I've received my stool tests confirming a stomach parasite. I have my suspicions it could have been from a bad sandwich I bought at a local store. Two weeks into my new apprentice job and I had to take brief time off and now I've lost my job as a result. Hopefully I experience no bad side effects and I can be back to good health soon. I wish everyone else who has stumbled here ; the best health you can have 👍 it seems like it's prescribed to many people over varying degrees of reasons - but we can always hope for better :)

Update; I've won the lottery, no I wish. I've been taking one tablet three times a day with each meal time and I'm starting to feel less side effects. Still get low strength headaches, dizziness, bit of mind fog and tiredness and weak stomach twists but it's probably not a concern. Some other people seem to have worse side effects 🤔.

@@Unek0777 hi yes that’s completely makes sense now. A few times my anxiety level did raise cause I could feel my heart rate pounding out of my chest. To be fair I was wired on coffee and didn’t get the best sleep. I’d definitely ask a doctor how to do counteract some of those feelings. I imagine someone with severe anxiety/depression can exacerbate those issues. I only have one more day left after today, finish meds tomorrow. I have been on a two week cycle/twice each day. As of today is my 13th straight day. I am surprised I made this far without stopping it but I was able to push through. There’s no way I could do this medication for two months. I do see now what you’re talking about

And I’ve run across multiple videos, posts & articles explaining the link between your brain & gut.

Here's my experience taking Flagyl. I'm 30 years old and had unexplained weightloss. I started taking Flagyl to get rid of parasites. I had all the bad symptoms of having parasites. Since I'm underweight I only took 250mg of Flagyl once per day. I took one pill after lunch everyday for 10 days and I had no negative symptoms. The only bad thing was a headache here and there. I feel much better now and no more constipation or tenderness in my abdominals. Hope this helps someone. Don't be scared to take it and a trick I used was to eat a banana right after I took the pill and eat a sugar free mint to mask the taste. Other than that it worked for me 🙏

If you have an elder, especially female, who has been going through recurrent bouts of needing Flagyl for C. Diff., then needing a different antibiotic for the following UTI (because of the diarrhea from Flagyl)... my aunt's doctor advised to start taking Acidophilus supplements every day. For her, this stopped the C. Diff. & in turn, that stopped the UTI's... and, she could eat again, because the Flagyl made everything taste terrible for her. It worked wonders for her, no more C. Diff., & no more UTI's. Most doctors won't suggest this, because they are taught on RX's only. Saved her life.

@@miss_mlu About Cheif Rasheed Ladoja taken the Government to Court on the Crowning of Senior Chiefs by the Olubadan ,no matter his reason for his deviant position, it is clear that he had been Consistent in his position as he refused to be Crowned by the Abiola Ajimobi Government when others were previously Crowned. What I cannot understand is the Chief Ladojas assersation the present Olubadan does not want him to become Olubadan. The Position of Olubadan cannot be Vacant until the Present Olubadan joins his Ancestors. I support the Present Arrangements of Crowning the Senior Chiefs to enable the Olubadan delegate his responsibilities to the Chiefs by Creating Areas of Responsibility for each Crowned Royal Father's in Ibadan. Going to Court by Chief Ladoja because it will further divide our Ibadan Royal House. I will rather expect Chief Ladoja to discuss with both the Olubadan and the State Governor to find a peaceful and permanent Solution to this Problem. There is already too much Developmental Problems in Oyo State particularly in Ibadan being the State Capital and we cannot afford to add a lingering Chieftancy Problem . I hope some Elders of Ibadanland to wade into this matter and get Cheif Ladoja to withdraw the case from the Court because it does not matter the final decision of the Court will create further problems for Ibadan.

I was meant to take 2 tablets a day during the morning and the evening for bacterial vaginosis but for the first two days I made a dumb mistake as I misread it wrong and was just taking 1 pill in the morning and evening - basically I guess you could say I was taking half dose for two days. During this time however, the symptoms did disappear and once I realised I immediately started taking the dose correctly from the third day. Due to this, I had to extend the course of treatment to 6 days (treatment duration was meant to be just 5 days but I still had tablets remaining) to finish the course in a timely manner. I didn't double dose at all. Will this be a problem?

Thank you Dr! This was very informative and I'm more aware on the side effects. But something I'm wondering, had sandwiches before taking the medicine and I was fine. No nausea. But when eating rice, it made the nausea really bad. I took it around 4 since that is when I get home from work. I was figuring for taking it twice a day that 4 pm/ 12 am would work so I'm not disoriented at work.

Hello Handsome Dr. I have pain in the right of my abdomen the colon, I believe, is causing the cylindrical distension, which is accompanied by irritating abdominal sounds. I believe I'm infected with stomach (H. pylori). I became ill two years ago, and the doctor told me it was my appendix, but unfortunately doctor was wrong and he took my healthy appendix. I'm tired and my mental health is not ok. I feel bad when I'm with friends and my stomach sound 😕 there is war inside my stomach while I'm act I'm smile. Painful. Thanks sir

I've been putting off taking it for months after reading the reviews, but my sibo just keeps getting worse and worse to the point I'm struggling to eat anything, so I think I'm going to have to give in and start taking it. My naturopath prescribed it with rifaxamin, LDN, bismuth, sunfiber supplement with probiotics, glutagenics by metagenics and I'm going to take a probiotic as well. I've already started the LDN which made me sick at first but it helped a lot, but I definitely need to start the rest soon. 😭 I hope I don't get super sick, I can't miss work.

That was a informative post, here area few more tips for people who might have Rosacea. 1. Are You Sure You Have Rosacea? It may be common, affecting up to 1 tenth of people, but red faces are not always rosacea. Dermatologists often see patients who are worried that they may have developed rosacea, perhaps following a bit of internet searching, but they may actually have another condition altogether. Facial redness simply occurs because there in increased blood flow to the top part of the skin, perhaps because of inflammation, sun damage or fixed widening of vessels.

When I get tooth abscess, sinus, or ear infection, my physician prescribes metronidazole with amoxicillin-clavulanate and 1000mg of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and I don't feel side effects except for a slight stomach irritation. The only precaution is to not consume alcohol or alcohol-based products like mouthwash or toothpaste with glycol and to avoid laying down at least 2 to 3 hours after a dose. Works fast! 🩺
