I am using Tinidazole, which is said to have less side effects than Flagyl, but as effective as Flagyl.

Agreed on the Tinidazole. A bit more expensive, but well worth it...flagyl caused neuropathy for me.

Pulsing on Tinidazole for me is 500 mg BID, 2-3 days per week. May want to ramp up and do 500 mg BID one day a week (if you work do it on a weekend to see if it causes a herx). Then you can work you way up. Watch closely for any increased neuropain, parathesias, etc. If you feel any of this STOP IMMEDIATELY and consult your doc. Otherwise you may be left with permanent damage...I am still suffering from what I hope to recover from.

Tinidazole can cause the same peripheral neuropathy as flagyl, just seems to be better tolerated, but may be just because it is newer and there is less data on it.

Good luck.
