OMG, cipro and flagyl are hard drugs to be on with really uncomfortable side effects. I am being treated for dx'd pouchitis and ileitis and now I am nauseated, dizzy, have no appetite, a persistent headache, and my joints and body are aching too. Plus, I am so fatigued. My doc said I could drop the flagyl and finish out with cipro alone, or else, gut it out with the cocktail. I have been on both for over a week and have about 5 days left. I don't think I can cope with the flagyl any longer. I hope if I stop taking it that I will not greatly compromise the healing of the inflammation in my gut.
I have read the aggrieved posts that so many of you have contributed about having a similar experience with cipro and flagyl. It has helped me greatly to know I am not alone and am not going crazy. I extend kudos to all of you who have had to deal with multiple rounds/years of these drugs. It seems to me that the treatment for pouchitis is kind of a torture. Right when you need relief.....BAMM, there is something else to deal with.
