flagyl

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

I emailed and Kate to see how they were doing. Actually they have had

some set backs. Kate messed up her doses with Flagyl (remember their

doctor's regime, slow approach and gradually increase?). Anyway it really

set her back. asked me to let everyone to know, if you take Flagyl

and start to herx, stop taking it until the herx stops, then start back. I

have the old dose information always used to urge everyone to try. He

really believes in this regime and has seen first hand with Kate. But so

many people I know are on Flagyl and don't have this problem. This disease

and treatment is so weird. Vicki, Md

Dear Helen,

I had a horrible herx from Flagyl. I think I had to increase my sleep meds,

I became

depressed; generally felt like shit. It's normal.

Love,

Hi Helen,

When I was on Flagyl for 5 days, I became very depressed and I felt as if

someone was carving out the cartilage in my joints. Weird. I tried to space

it by going on for 4 days and off for 3 for a few weeks, but then gave up

after about 3 weeks. I also tried Tinidazol too and it did the same thing.

I think that is why I haven't gone back on, because it made me feel so

depressed. I just started Rocephen iv about 10 days ago, so we'll see what

happens.

I heard people feel better about 10 days after the HBOT treatments are over.

I hope that happens for you.

All the best,

Irene

<< To help eliminate the taste of flagyl, my doctor suggested either bananas

orange juice. The bananas do work for me, and they help with my leg spasms.

Someone on this list suggested trying another brand of flagyl. I am on a

generic brand, and I will ask if I can change to the brand name to see if it

helps.

Dear , Pam & All,

Don't know if this is true of flagyl, but a (non-LLMD) doc told me once of

Biaxin that the reason you get the metallic taste in mouth is due to superior

tissue penetration - so it could be a " good thing. "

Also, we found the 500 mg flagyl tabs to be very powdery - may want to ask

doc to rx the 250 mgs - they slide right down... They're a generic, but seem

to be a slightly different consistency.

Hope this helps!

Hi y'all, I started 1/2 a tab last night ( 125 mgs ), when should I expect to die? *-) thanks

Dont bother with answering LOL, I think I am feeling my answer, about 9 hrs after first dose. Somebody wake me when its over *-)

[Guest guest]

Hey Pepi; just a quick note; I know some people have had a hard time

with flagyl, and I have found it difficult also. I'll also tell you

that for my lyme symptoms, it one of the best things that's ever

happened to me (combination therapy). Hope it works for you..

Sincerely,

Regina

Pepi, if you do get your MD to prescribe Actos with it...it's the only way I

can take it without being blasted by herx. Had tried for 2 years prior to

the Actos to take it without success.

Oh, any day now... actually, when I first took Flagyl I did not have

much of a JH rxn. I was on it for a month, then WHAMO* POW**, on my

back for 5 days. I can't explain it, but when it hit I sure knew it,

even my hair hurt! Starting on a half tablet should temper things

for you, starting slowly. It is a very strong rxn for certain. Good

Luck!

Flagyl was the answer to my prayers! It ws wit this that the brain fog

cleared up. Why are you ao worried? The dosage you are taking is very small.

I am not worried, actually glad I am on it. Its been a road to get me to

this point, now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The dose I am

on is small to start with, I will work up to alot more than this. Thanks!

Take care, Pepi

[Guest guest]

Pepi,

Just an added note on flagyl. A lot of people when they are put on flagyl get

really high doses and they get sick. I was told by my LLMD that 250 mg a day

will do the same thing. So - maybe it will work. Iknow lots of people that

this worked for and cleared up all the neuro symptoms. Good Luck - also if

you have babesia, the malarone is also working wonders. KIM

Dear a,

I'm curious, how did it go?

Many times I have also been tempted to offer meds that I have that I no

longer need, as I, too, hate to throw them away when there are people who

need them and can't afford them. I'd even pay the postage, just want to help

others.

I suppose it could be trouble if someone was the " vindictive " type, and one

never can be too careful, but at times I've done what you are offering. I

will only do it with someone I trust, then pray that my trust is

well-founded. Also, I will do it only with routine meds, never with

narcotics, and only if assured that the recipient really suffers from a

condition where the med will really have a chance of being helpful. So far

I've been fortunate in that the people I've helped have been appreciative and

honest.

Hugs for being so nice, a, but do be careful.

Hope you are feeling better,

Hugs,

a in NJ

We started our son on Flagyl. He takes 1/2 tab thirce a day. Each tablet is

250mg.

He is also on diflucan[50mg-first 15 days and then 50 mg on alternate days].

did you all see any major die-offs : we are on the 18th dayof diflucan and 3rd

day of flagyl?

How long did you all give flagyl and what was the best times to give it?

Thanks.

Had herx meltdown on my first round of Flagyl two weekends ago and doc said not

to take flagyl for two weeks...this weekend i am supposed to start the flagyl

again...should i just take 250mg for this weekend and ramp up next weekend to

full 500mg dose...any thoughts

[Guest guest]

My hubby was prescribed flagyl, but only 250 mg. twice a day, but he has a

breathing problem so I think the Doc wanted to go slowly with him.

I am not sure if it's a herx or not, but he feels weaker in his hands and

even his legs, feels alittle uncoordinated.

Can you explain what happened on your herx???

Thanks and Good Luck,

Dixie
