    fear of metronidazole

    Hi everyone me again. I've been prescribed metronidazole anti-biotics and just can't bring myself to take them because scared of reacting to them. I've read they can abuse palpatations and drowsiness. Can anyone give me a bit of advice
    thanks Louise x

    Re: fear of metronidazole

    Hi, I had these for a dental abscess and had no adverse reaction and they did work. Made my root canal possible

    I was warned several times by dentist to definitely not drink (started to get paranoid that he thought I had a drink problem!). Apparently with alcohol they can make you very sick - the root canal guy said they give to alcoholics to make them stop drinking.

    Anyway, just wanted to say I stayed off alcohol and took them as prescribed and was fine. x

    I am sure if the doctor prescribed to you that you will be fine taking them. Good luck.
