Our entire family of 4 is being treated by a wonderful LLMD who
we've seen for 3 yrs. The Dr. just recommended Flagyl, 125mg
3x daily for our 11 yr old who has been on Zithromax and
Mepron for more than a year and tolerated that well, but has
begun having visual perception problems, ADD symptoms,
mood swings, and academic issues suddenly in the last 3 months.
Please anyone with feedback about Flagyl (positive or negative)
post your experience! I was on it last year and reached a point
where I had to quit my job from the herxing and moved to
Cowen's herbal protocol. I haven't returned to work since.
Flagyl caused terrible issues for me and though I trust our LLMD,
I want to get some feedback before I start this in the smallest of
increments for our 11 yr old. Thanks to all in advance!

My four and six year olds just started flagyl about a month ago.
Due to size, they only take 50mg a day for three days a week.
The rest of the week they are taking zithromax.
I also pulse flagyl with doxy.
I have noticed them herxing, but it is more complaints of body pain,
Heaviness of limbs and some mild behavioral issues.
My neighbor's son, who is 8, takes 125mg once a day 3 x a week. He weighs about 80 lbs.
Hope this helps some.
Hugs,
Geneal

On my 6th dose of Flagyl, I had an allergic reaction wherein my throat closed up. Scary.
My poodle has just been put on Flagyl. When I saw that, I had to bite my tongue to not ask questions like "Should I expect her to experience severe headaches or other symptoms?"
On a more humorous side, I bit my tongue again to keep from asking if I should keep her off alcohol while on this drug.
Seriously, I would be very hesitant to put my children on this drug. Would the Cowden protocol be indicated for them?
Try that which is safe first.
