Flagyl and Nausea

Submitted by golfbuddy on Wed, 2006-03-01 20:51

I have just finished day 2 of my latest pulse attempt.  Last time I had to stop at day 3 because of nausea, unable to eat without almost losing it.  Tonight I am having the same concerns.  Would it be a bad idea to try every other day pulsing?

You certainly have my empathy!  Have you tried it with V8?  Be ready to swallow, put it on the back of your tongue and immediately gulp it down.  Nausea doesn't bother me but I think this could if I did not eat before or with it.  All the rest of the abxi I take on an empty stomach with lots of water.

Thanks Rica.  I take it with meals for that reason.  I was fine on day one but tonight was tough and I am not looking forward to tommorrow.  I didn't know if I should just keep doing 3 day pulses, try every other day and see if that is more tolerable, or go the Fred route.

 Golfbuddy- This is exactly why I had to switch to Tinidazole despite it's greater expense (it's on patent). The amount of nausea I had on Flagyli made it impossible to do a full pulse. You might try it on your next pulse attempt and see if you can tolerate it better.

All of my first bunch of pulses were no more than 3 days. I couldn't last any longer. I got to 5 days before switching to Tini, but it was just barely. It could just be that you need to do 3 day pulses for a while and see if your nausea is porphyric and lessens over time. It didn't for me, that's why I finally switched. Better switch than fight!

Thanks Jim.  I have been doing Flagyli 500 2-3x a day.  Interestingly, when I started, I was able to do about 15 days straight without the nausea problem. What is the standard Tinii dose and the dose you are using for the single high  pulse?

Pentoxyfylline and B12 shots have greatly reduced my nausea on flagyli. By the fourth day of previous pulses I was vomitting out of control.

minocycline, azithromycine, metronidazole 2007-2009, chelation for lead poisoning, muscle pain, insomnia, interstitial cystitisi (almost well), sinus, dry eyes, stiff neck, veins, hypothyroid, TMJ, hip joints (no longer hurt)

I seem to be doing much better by skipping the mid day dose....just 500mg morning and night.  I think that I may try 1000 in the morning and 500 at night and skip the mid day.
