metronidazole or panic attacks??

ok, so i took metronidazole singe dose of 4 pills like advised. it was a 2000 MG script so I can get rid of Trich. I took it at 6pm lastnight

I had panic attacks thinking of the side effects

well at 12am, 6 hours after taking it I was vomiting because my stomach hurt. it stopped and I just have slight upset stomach

today I had really bad headaches, dark urine, mettalic taste in mouth, loss of hunger


idk if this is a symptom of if it panic attacks:

tingling hands, racing heart, heart palps...I got it again when I thought about the really bad side effects!!

now to calm me down can someone answer this SINGLE question



If you were to get severe side effects off metronidazole would it happen sooner or later? hours or days??

cause it said seizers and convolsions

and over dose is vomiting, convolsions

havent had those but if I were to get them off the dose how long and another thing...how long after a dose does the effects leave????

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!


I feel kinda calm right now and the tingling went away and racing heart but I feel like I have palps and when I turn my eyes I see sparks of light?

is this hypervenalation??????


if I overdosed would I know right away?????? has anyone taken this before cause to be honest...I hate it!!! and think I feel sicker than a dog!!!

Hey there,

If you are taking Metronidazole i guess you are having an infection?

In fact yes this med can cause several side effects. Common adverse drug reactions associated with systemic metronidazole therapy include: nausea, diarrhea, and/or metallic taste in the mouth.

Mix that with anxiety and a panic attack and you have the situation you have just described .

Maybe, and i doubt it, you had an overdose but  Metronidazole does not seem to be especially toxic in the case of an overdose. So i don't think it's something to worry about too much especially if the symptoms are gone now.

Metronidazole have a strong interaction with alcohol and can also have produced the vomiting.

Sparks of light again are assosieted with anxiety.

Anyway please note that i'm not a doctor and if you have any concern call you doctor.

Best regards,
M4

I feel like ****, my heart keeps racing wildly and it feels like it is palping or double beating. I felt this all day off and on and it doesnt race when I am sitting only when I am walking

Havent had any booze, I don't drink.


this is what I have


Appetite loss; metallic taste; nausea; stomach upset and had  vomiting


but my heart is beating very fast and I am getting scared!!!

doesnt say anything about that as a symptom so is it panic attacks???

[M4Y0U]

Metallic taste and nausea are associated with Metronidazole even vomiting but i think it's a mix a both your reaction to the drug and panic attack. Fast heart beating is not associated with Metronidazole. One thing you must consider is you are maybe overeacting to Metronidazole so i suggest you talk to your doctor but i would say it's a panic attack and not an overdose even tho the vomiting is suspect.

Talk about this to your doctor please.

So the side effects should go away after two day????

it has been a day since I took it cause I took it monday night and it is past 6pm so that is the first day or second day??

and my rapid heart beat is panic attacks???

I cant die from this right??

[MayMayMeemers]

OMG! so I could have or did overdose on this?!?!

both pharmacy AND er dr's said 4 pills ALL at once in a single dose. It says so one the bottle, doesnt say anything about 2 doses every 12 hours

says: Take 2000 MG (4 tablets) by mouth  at once for a one time dose.


ugh......My boyfriend is fine however. =/ I wantd to take 2 one day and two the next day but he said no, it has to be taken all at once like what it says.

Should I go to the er???? what if I have an over dose!!!

Panicing again!!

[MayMayMeemers]

I have an std called Trich

treatment of trichomoniasis, a single dose of 2,000 mg may be used after a meal. Various other doses exist according to the infection being treated.

I was listening to the dr and what he told me, take ALL the MG at once

He said not to devide it so did the pharmasist who I got the meds from.


I am shaking now and terrified!!!

[MayMayMeemers]

Ok, Yeah, he was gonna do a 7 day treatment but changed his mind and gave me and my boyfriend both 4 500MG pills to take at once. Maybe he thought it would clear it up faster? not sure but the pharmasist said the same thing...take it all at once and dont drink 48 hours after taking it which we havent had anything. All the sites I have been too..which are millions they all say one high dose. >.< UGH!!!! so does this mean I have until thursday for it to be out of my system??

[MayMayMeemers]

I just vomited again at 1:30am

that is twice now... 12am tuesday and 1:30am today is this a side effect that is normal?? I also have a horrid headache right now...Heart was racing again, thought about having an overdose... >.Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with Metronidazole. Because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using Metronidazole will experience that or any side effect.
I put an X on the side effects I have:

- Confusion;
X- Darkening of the urine;
- Decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood (leucopenia);
- Disorder of the peripheral nerves called peripheral neuropathy that causes weakness and numbness (on prolonged or intensive therapy);
- Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea constipation nausea vomiting or abdominal pain;
- Dizziness;
- Drowsiness;
X- Headache;
- Inflamed and sore mouth;
- Itchy rash (urticaria);
- Liver disorders;
X- Loss of appetite;
- Pain in the muscles or joints;
- Seizures;
X- Sensation of a furry tongue;
- Severe swelling of lips face or tongue (angioedema);
- Shaky movements and unsteady walk (ataxia);
- Skin rashes;
X- Unpleasant taste; (I think I can smell it too, everything smells like vitamins almost or metal?)
- Visual disturbances;
X- Upset Stomach/Vomiting (only twice I feel fine now)



UGH!!!!!!!!!! can't wait for all this to be over with!!!! I have been havin insomnia very bad lately obvously cause it is 2:30 am here!!

[MayMayMeemers]

Yeah, most likely...I had a M/c on oct 23 so I was upset about that. had started staying up later and later each night now I can't sleep at all!!!


I am sure I don't have an overdose,  if I did I would be throwing up alot more then I did.
I will take your advise however I may just call the er and ask them what I should do...hate to think about going in when there would be nothing wrong with me. My poor boyfriend is suffering form my panic attacks and thoughts of me dying.
this isnt the first time, infact...before I found out I was pregnant I thought I had a cyst. =/ came up being pregnant.

second time was when I went to the er the 3rd time and they said I had an abnormal palp on my ecg so I thought I had wpws cause he wrote that down and circled it

after I thought a brain tumor and all the fun stuff..

Hypracondriac? most likely...

I started having bad panic attacks about a 2 weeks ago when I went to the er the first time for feeling dizzy...thats when I freaked out! I was walking to wal-greens and all a sudden got paniced, felt dizzy ect (was still pregnant) I lost the baby the next day and I went BACK to the er cause i didnt know what to do I had never been pregnant nor ever had a mc obviously!!

right after that I thought of these


infection
Animea
dehydration
low blood sugar
Heart problems
blood clots
brain tumor
and tons of other things
it was monday night when I freaked bout side effects and over dose
now I am just worried about over dose or something else wrong


so yeah....panic attacks, hypercondriac.........insomnia, i have it all right now!

heck, I have been awake since yesterday 10am and it is 5am here now horrid!!!!anyways..gonna try to sleep. If I can..... =/ again thanks for your major help!!! =)

Hey I am going through the same thing right now. Did your symptoms subside after medication wore off?

[MayMayMeemers]

Yes, the symptoms vanished very wuickly after. I donot recomend Metronidazole in a 2000MG. way too many side effects!!
