metronidazole topical?

[[Ri...]]

Does anyone know if metronidazole for treatment of vaginal BV will have any adverse affects on my recovery? I'm still feeling symptoms I'm day 13 into healing and I'm concerned that this may set me back. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Metronidazole-Induced Psychotic Disorder

TO THE EDITOR: Metronidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole, forms

a cornerstone of antibiotic therapy regimens, particularly for

the treatment of peptic ulcer disease because of its eradication

of Helicobacter pylori infection (1). Although metronidazole

is well tolerated in general, there are some known neuropsychiatric side effects (e.g., encephalopathy, cerebellar dysfunction, and seizures) as well as other side effects such as vertigo,

impaired sleep, dizziness, and states of confusion, excitation,

and depression (2). We report here the case of a metronidazole-induced psychotic disorder.

No more- I’m not on benzo anymore. 3 mo off but still healing. Is it the same problem with interactions?

I had a horrible reaction to metronidazole 2 months after coming off Benzos. Set me way, way back in my healing process. Lost my sense of balance, horrible chemical anxiety, insomnia, weakness, fatigue, couldn’t function or work and took about a year to regain any sense of normalcy in my life. I now use tindamax instead with no problems.

Sorry I never circled back to respond. Luckily I didn’t need to use it as I was only suspicious of a bacterial infection and I was never diagnosed.
