Metronidazole and medicine

not too sure if this is a side effect of taking this medicine, but thought I would ask if anyone else has experienced this after taking it. My now 4 year old son had a case of Giardia (aka Beaver Fever) when he was 3 years old, he was hospitalized for 5 days or so. He was put on Metronidazole for 7 days, he got better and haven't had the Giardia since...but we started to see intolerance to certain foods, and now behavioral problems...basically symptoms of Autism/Sensory Integration disorder. I can pin point these issues to occurring after the hospitalization and the taking of this medicine....perhaps it isn't the medicine but the Giardia that caused it...

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.

I was prescribed Flagyl 5oom.g TID for 10 days;I had sleeping problem start from the beginning of the course.I had dark color urination.I couldn't sleep for 5 days.I took only for 5 days and stopped the medicine.After 5 days, I started having fever and back pain even after 10 days i stopped medicine.
