I have had so many side effects from ciprofloxacin and metronidazole (Flagyl), I went to the ER. CT scan confirmed diagnosis, but they ignored my thoughts that the meds were making me sicker and told me to coninue them for the full 10 days, despite debilitating nausea, cramps, and diarrhea worse than I had at the beginning. Online, I see the meds can be RX'd for 7-10 days. Am I OK to stop them now? What is the experience of others with this diagnosis?
