i had someone tell me to warn others when i am on flagyl, as it can cause irritability and mood swings.

i'm trying not to worry about it too much, but part of me is worried about starting yet another antibiotic and one that can cause such reactions.

so, i'm just wondering what experiences others have had with flagyl. and also if anyone has ever taken flagyl with biaxin, plaquenil, and levaquin.

any success stories with flagyl?

thank you.

i had a bit of diarreha when starting my other antibiotics. i'll soon know what my reactions to the flagyl will be.

5 days a week: plaqyenil, levaquin, and biaxin xl for 3 weeks

on the thrid week add flagyl

fourth week no medication

fifth week same as first two weeks but instead of levaquin take septra

again adding flagyl on the 7th week

then off the 8th week

seems like a lot of antibiotics to me.

It is used to break up the cystic form of the spirochete's and I think a necessary addition to any abx regimen....

I would be more cautious of the levaquin as it gave me tendonitis really bad and lot's of unecessary pain.
Good luck as we seem to all react differently to our disease and meds....zman

levaquin, and biaxin with flagyl packs a punch. I've been on all of them and Mepron but only 2 or 3 at a time and they hit me like a brick wall. LLMD had me take lots of probiotics simultaneously.

Good luck to you on this regimen

hopefully i won't hit me like a brick wall.

thanks for the replies
