Give it a few more days to see if it goes away. Flagyl can do that, but usually with long term use.

That was never a herx symptom for me.
Here is a quote from Burrascano regarding flagyl:
"4. Flagyl can be irritative to the nervous system- in the short term, it may cause irritability, "spacey" feelings, etc. Longer term, it can affect the peripheral nerves, causing tingles, numbness, etc. If mild, a change in dose may be required. Often, extra vitamin B can clear these symptoms. If the nerve symptoms persist or are strong, then metronidazole must be discontinued or these symptoms may become very long lasting." (page 15)
