Felt as though my heart rate had changed it made me slur speech, couldnt remember anything, dizziness, depression. Generally made me feel like I was going to pass out. I have taken teh drug once before many years ago and did not get this reaction.
I had no side effects at all. Sometimes a little blurred vision.Helped me a lot with in my insomnia and anxiety.When tempering with this drug it's quit easy, Iowered my dose 1 time a week with 0,5mg.
I got antibiotic induced colitis. I found out afterwards that Clindamycin is one of the main antibiotics that is guilty of causing clostridium difficile, which produces toxins that cause diarrhea, abdominal cramping, urgency and so forth.
Whilst on Flagyl I am having severe headaches, stomach bloating, stomach cramps and pain and extremely tired (I probably sleep at least 12 hours a day now). Does not seem to be having any effect on my stool texture or symptoms.
weight gain! more than usual dreams, feeling jittery and withdrawn at times
