I started taking Flagyl a few weeks ago, several days a week to go after the cysts. With it I am noticing that the day I take it and the next day I am really out of it. It is a return to the dim witted, mentally numb feeling that I had hoped I was leaving behind. Can anyone tell me if it is the Flagyl or a herx indicating that it is working?

It can cause really bad depression, so I would guess the fogginess would be in the same category. Messes with the brain.
Probably herxing too.

My LLMD said Flagyl works on cognitive problems.
She also said that whatever flares up is what the med is working on.
Based on that, it would seem your brain fog is a herx and hopefully a sign of improvement on the way.

- Exactly.

I started Flagyl three weeks ago and it really sucks. At the beginning I did not feel big flare up in symptoms but as of today I am miserable. Joints are killing me and the brain is a mess.
I think it is a herx but not as violent and abrupt as those I experienced on while I was on IV abx.
