Hello Friends,

I hope you are all hanging in there, and even doing well. I recently rotated from a long run on Cipro to Flagyl. I'm also taking Azathioprine (which so far has been raising my liver stats in a negative direction). Shortly after starting the Flagyl I started having symptoms of RLS (Restless Leg Syn). It is a very creepy feeling for those unfamiliar. It feels more like restless BODY, the full crawling out of your skin, covered with insects feeling. Can't sleep at all going on 6 days now, yuuk! Anyone have RLS? Any connection to Flagyl?

Hey MK - while on flagyl I also felt that creepy leg feeling at night. Also had that restless body feeling and I chalked it up to anxiousness (even tho I very rarely experience anxiousness).

I did report it to my surgeon and got moved to a different med. and the ickies resolved. I wasn't on cipro at the same time. So yes - I think it is related to the flagyl. Call your doc - today. You could ask about tindamax as an alternative - it's "super flagyl"; I had no side effects on it until after about 1-1/2 years when I started getting the tinglies so moved on, once again ...

Let us know how you're doing --

Thanks for sharing your Flagyl experiences. I think that many of us have a love/hate relationship with Flagyl because it does work well most of the time but it also causes some unpleasant effects, the tingling finger tips, the horrible taste in the mouth unless you swallow really FAST!

I'm finally to that tipping point where I am taking so many meds for so many ailments that I can't sort out what is reacting with what..... Now that I have lost my insurance I will be dropping many of them which may be a good thing. I have a bad feeling about this Azathioprine though, been on it 2 months and I still need 40mg of Prednisone to keep me out of ER. GI nurse said my Liver labs were heading in the wrong direction and I just generally feel awful, and now this RLS stuff, up again at 4am today, walking dead, no rest in sight just a lot of awful..... ugghhh
