I recently took my first dose of flagyl in almost over a year. The first time i took flagyl I took the Dr, recommemded dose of 500 mg 2 times a day for two days. I was herxing my butt off, soo miserable. It has taken me this long to get the nerve to take the meds again. I took a half a pill on sat night, herxing was tolerable.
About a week and a half after the original dose of flagyl I had about 5 good days in a row, I felt almost normal!! I keep a journal and repeatedly looked over what i did during that time trying to see what had made the difference. I had retried everything again except the flagyl and I am hoping it was the flagyl that made a difference once the herx was over.
How long or at what dose have u guys noticed a difference on flagyl?

Suprisingly I did feel better one week while on Flagyl for 2 months. I never did get any herx though & it was like taking nothing for me.
I did get some leg neuropathy on week 2-3 & then it went away.
Same with Tindamax. Nothing at all.
I may try to take it again.

Just recently a doc put me on 2000 mg one dose of flagyl. Never again! Once the herx cleared, I did feel a little better though, but I'm not sure if it's just because the herx was over, or what. B. vitamins really helped the nerve pain, though. I'm afraid that drug is dangerous, given the nerve symptoms/warnings. So be careful.
