Metronidazole and dizziness

six months ago my dentist prescribed 500 mg and 500 mg of penn every eight hours for five days,, along with vicodin for a horribly painful gum infection in my root canal. To this day I wonder if I will fully get rid of all side effects of the Met. After 3 days I was soo dizzy and with extreme blurred vision, the pharmacist and dentist office stated it could not be the ant but the vicodin. I stopped the vicodine and just stayed with Motrin. I had the worst vertigo and blurred vision you can imagine, I felt like an infection was now in my brain, (yet was not) I felt like I had a toxic infection in my body. I would fight to concentrate mentally, I was very fatigued and sick feeling. This went on long after the tooth pain. It took about three months of strining for mental concentration, dizziness, toxic feelong to begin to go away. By the fifth month I could finally feel my personality had returned. Yet my vision has not and has only gotten worse. My dizziness is every so often. During the first months I kept running back and fourth to my doctor with no avail. It was the eye doctor MD that said he was very suspicious that I had an toxic allergic reaction to the Met. Between doctor visits, eye doctor visits, cat scan I have run my medical bills high. I am extremely worried about going blind.
It has now been six months - my health, my vision, my family, my job, my personality have all suffered from this.... Don't take this drug............

I have gotten a horrible yeast infection while taking this medication as well as severe fatigue. I would not willingly take this medication again. It has the worst side effects out of anything I have taken before. I also got really bad pack pain and dizziness.

headaches, drowsiness..diarrhea after drinking alcohol and dizziness ..all the while feeling unable to concentrate..foggy sort of
