Metronidazole and lipid

within two days of taking metronidazole for a gum infection i had horrible pins and needles the worst crushing headace ive ever had anxiaty panic attacks and couldt sleep for a week this medicine is the nastiest side effects ive ever had .i just got back from hospital where ive been for two days as my symptoms were so bad docs thought the infection in my gum had traveled to my brain, but after a ct scan,lumber puntcture, blood tests all came back clear they decided it was the tablets. it will take me a long time to get over this , i would advise anyone with a history of panic attacks,depression or headaches not to take metronidazole.

Take it with a huge meal that has both creamy diary to coat the stomach and meat to delay the digestion of the food - a meal that stays in the stomach long enough until the drug is absorbed will help.

My perscription is to take two tablets, three times a day after the second dose I have such a painful stomach ache! I have a feeling that the pain is actually in the lining of the stomach ......

I've only taken three pills so far and am experiencing a lot of lower back pain. My prescription is one pill twice a day for seven days. I couldn't eat my dinner last night. I also had HALF of a cup of coffee this morning and was wound up for at least four hours. I felt like swearing off caffeine for the rest of my life. What a terrible feeling. If you feel jittery on this medication... DO NOT drink coffee!

I only took 5 400mg metronidazole tablets and had severe lower back pain headaches lightheadedness etc had to stop taking tablets. 2 weeks later still having pain but not so severe. How long does it take for the side effects to go away?

I have not taken any medication in many years as I am generally healthy. After taken these large nasty pills, I feel very dizzy, spacey and sleepy. I have been prescribed 500 mg. for 7 days and since day one I've felt this way. This is day 4 and I feel very sleepy. The taste is HORRIBLE and everything I've eaten since than has a metallic taste.

I've taken metronidazole twice in the past year for intestinal parasite. 700 mg, 3x a day for ten days.

I have an awful metallic taste in mouth, dark brown urine, lost of appetite, fatigue, and headaches. Some days are better than others.

I have found that drinking beverages at room temp with out ice helps along with hot food. Something to do with the temp of the food brings out the metalic taste.

I also chew gums and suck on peppermint candy to mask the taste.

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