Q: What happens when you combine Flagyl with anti-depressants and six or seven other assorted drugs for tendonitis, wheezing and food poisoning?

A: Hasini go KABOOM!

I can has DEATH now, plsthanxkbai. 

I believe Flagyl was the drug my former best friend N was taking on our ill-fated sea side vacation in January. Good God, no wonder she was a bitch. Anyone would be, after taking this shit.

OMG, what did you do? Are you feeling better? Can't you cut out that bitchy med?

Hope you'll feel yourself soon, like right now!

Swear to God, I was feeling a hell a lot better before i took the stuff. I woke up at 2 am feeling the room spin and wanting to throw up. By now, all my limbs and fingers and tongue have gone mildly numb and are shaking and I'm STILL trying not to throw up.

However, if I don't keep taking the stuff, my stomach will keep cramping up and hurting like a bitch everytime I eat something, I won't be able to keep down anything but the egg-on-toast I've been eating (I'll barf if I see the stuff again) and the raging diarrhea will continue.

To cap everything off, my midsemesters are tomorrow and the day after.

Either way, I'm screwed.

Oh, and they want me to take the Flagyl every eight hours. When I got like this after only one dose. *dies* I haven't decided whether I should take it again, yet. I mean, the bastards knew what would happen when I took the stuff, since these are apparently pretty common side effects of the drug.

Oh my! that sounds pretty awful!

am no MD but, all the things you describe sound like untolerance to chemicals of sort. Can't you lower the does or take'em every 10 hours?

raging diarrhea has to be stopped fast otherwise you'l dehydrate at speedy race... here, we have an efficient med called immossel or imolingual: instant stopper. Have you tried real Coca Cola? The red one with sugar and all? The good part is, red Coca cola stops diarrhea and tackles nausea and throw up feelings as well.

That plus rice (and also drink the water rice was cooked in) and bananas also works wonder. No drinking of orange or lime juice: that's diarrhea turn on. Same goes for coffee. If you're feeling nauseous, don't lie down, it accentuate the feeling and thus the stomach hurting. stay sitted, even if you're carving the lie down. And keep yourself warm. Since cold also triggers diarrhea.

Alsop, don't know if you have them in Sri Lanka but: the other magic wonder fruit for diarrhea is: cactus fruit:


you usually find them in morrocco, tunisia but also Mexico...and since there's a variety called Indian cactus fruit, I was wondering if perhaps you had them in your part of the world.

As for the meds and room spinning: feels exactly like the addicted-de-addicted syndroms I had. Do you really have to take that drugs? And if yes, are you sure the dosage is the appropriate one?

Try not to think too much about how you're screwed and concentrate on getting better.

***sending hugs and good vibes***

And am here if you wanna talkl, vent out. :)

Well, the diarrhea is under control at present but shows no sign of going away. Which is what worries me. Have been imbibing fluids like nobody's business though, so that's okay.

I try not to drink Coca Cola because it makes my throat all scratchy. I have drunk the boiled rice water and actually progressed from it to dry bread and sandwiches. I'll keep your other advice in mind. Luckily for me, Sri Lanka is ALWAYS warm. XD

I'm a fruit dunce. Maybe we do have catcus fruit and I don't know what we call it here. =(

I dunno whether I'm taking the appropriate dosage. Currently, I'm holding off on taking any more till I get a second opinion on it.

Thanks for being there, Carole. *hugs back*

too bad 'cause it's the only speedy thing I know that actually makes it go away. I hate coca as well and only drink it when I'm in that starte so, Coca cola is just a medecine for me.

Good move! I mean no need to get any worse than you already feel if you can prevent it.

and you're more than welcome.
