I know this is a bad side effect that would cause me to stop, right?

Is there any way this could be a herx reaction? I do have a lot of nerve issues but haven't had this tingling in awhile.

Also, does tindimax have the same side effect?

When I take flagyl, I also take B6 with it to deal with neuropathy. Mine subsided after a few days, but I was in contact with my LLMD during that time.

Good luck!

Thanks rera. I am taking a B-complex vitamin and calling my LLMD tomorrow. Maybe B6 seperately will help.

For many Tindamax is easier to handle than flagyl but not all.

I am handling it really well SURPRISINGLY! Just the tingling. Nothing else that would cause me to stop Flagyl. If it's temporary or can be fixed with B6 then I'd like to continue it.
