Additional Thoughts
Taking this medicine (along with cipro) was a traumatic experience. I only took it for 3 days and I started going into convulstions. After that calmed down I was so weak I could hardly move for 3 days, and the nausea and headaches were unbearable. What confuses me is when I went to the ER because of these symptoms they told me to keep taking the flagyl and cipro???????? I felt poisoned!!!
