My one son and I have been on abx since August and have not been on flagyl, yet. When did your doc add flagyl or tini to the mix???
I should go look at my Dr. B. guidelines before asking. (I will do it backwards & post first - then go look in the guidelines.)

I was getting 2 shots of bicillin a week when flagyl was added. maybe around a year after starting treatment with that dr. Sorry I cant give you a precise time ...it was a while ago.

About nine months into treatment on iv rocephin came off the biaxin added the flagly wanted to die!!! 1 bad week now i feel better then ever...i think its importnat to lower your bacterial load a bit before the flagyl I think my timing was right but everyone is different...good luck....Jill

My doctor took me off Ketek, Doryx and Plaquenil after 11 months of treatment last Saturday and now I am on Flagyl exclusively.
I'm to work my way up to 750mg per day. I've started at 250mg and am herxing badly. I will stop complaining if it WORKS!

thanks for asking this question. I've been wondering about that too.
I wonder for those of you who are on Flagyl, when it was added, did it seem like your symptoms had plateau'ed out on the old abx regimen?

Flagyl is a really bad word to me after being on it every other day for 5 pills. MAJOR HERX.
If you didn't see my post now revised to, "I'M OK, police checked here on my health!", please look at the symptoms I had when this occured.
I know TREEPATROL'S NEWBIE LINKS has a lot of flagyl info there; please read. Good luck.

Hello, I was on antibiotics about a year before tindimax was added. I was about 90% healthy before the tindimax, and now the herxing has me at about 60% capacity. I've been on it two months now and am currently pulsing it three days a week.
I can't wait to get off this stuff!
Thanks, Ms. Myo

My children & husband started flagyl on the 1st day of abx treatment for LD with their other abx.
Only my youngest doesn't take it - we can only get the generic & the generic does not come coated & he cannot swallow it before it dissolves in his throat. He has gastric reflux issues and not being able to swallow these causes problems. There is no children's liquid in flagyl.

I am into my 14 mo. of treatment. Was on 1000 mg Ciften and 1000 mg Bixin. Doc put me on 750 mg Flagyl starting Saturday. I haven't been feeling very good.
Actualy pretty bad. Alot of traveling joint pain. I'm not feeling any different sence starting Flagyl yet. I'll be on it for 2 wks. and then he is going to add something. I'm not sure what.

can't remember exactly. definitely not right away. came upon it by accident. had a really awful stomach flu and was given flagyl which didn't help the flu at all but cleared up my mind a whole lot within days.
later i had to go off of it because of neuropathy, but on it again. so much better mentally because of it. still a long way to go, but much better.

I started Flagyl in month four. I was on Levaquin for 2 mos, then Biaxin and now Biaxin and Flagyl together. I had trouble swallowing this nasty pill so I read here to coat it with oil before taking it and MAN DOES THAT WORK!!!!
I do not feel much improvement and I am well into my 3-4 week. My vision is bad again and last night I had an awful dizzy spell.
