Has anyone who has taken Flagyl noticed an increase in frequency of urination?
Some days I find myself having to go every 1/2 hour. And I go at least 3-4 times a night.
That's even after stopping intake of liquids after 7 pm.
I try to drink a good amount of water each day, so that makes it even worse.

That is a good question. I pulse flagyl on Fri, Sat. and Sun.
I have noticed that I have an increased urge to urinate, whether my bladder is full of not.
I get little spasms in my bladder for about 3 days starting on day 2 of flagyl
And lasting until about a day after.
That and a weekly herx. Fun, fun, fun.
Hugs,
Geneal

Oh that's awful. I don't get the spasms, thank goodness.
I guess I should be thankful it's not the opposite.

Can anyone tell me what Flagly is?? thanks Posted by Earl Lickya (Member # 14279) on :
Metronidazole
This drug is used to treat the cystic form of Lyme Disease as it is capable of killing spirochetes that are in the cystic form. Flagyl should not be used with Tetracyclines (according to Dr Burrasccano). Use either Penicillins or Cephalasporins.Do not consume ANY alcohol with Flagyl or you will have a severe reaction.Many people find that they get a very strong reaction from this drug and it is advisable to slowly build up to the maximum dose.
Fasigyn: This drug also attacks the cystic form of Lyme and is a relative of Flagyl and is supposed to be easier on your liver and better tolerated by the patient. It has a half life of 12 hours so if the dose is split up it can work 24 hours a day.
