Hi!
I took 2 single doses of Metronidazole about 2 months apart for bacterial infections both times. It was 2g (4x500mg pills) both times. That’s it.

Could this been the cause of my Peripheral Neuropathy ?
I can’t remember when the symptoms started exactly but i know that it started after taking these antibiotics.
I was a chronic cocaine user at the time, and also had low folate and ferritin, all the rest normal.

Online they keep saying that Flagyl induced Neuropathy start at about 13g and/or usually happen after a prolonged use, which wasn’t my case. I also asked my GP but he says that neuropathy only happens when Flagyl is given by IV, which is wrong.

So yeah... I just wanna know if 4g of Flagyl could have destroyed my nerves or is it likely to be something else ?

Thanks !

At your age you still have the majority of your life ahead of you.
Do yourself a favor see a neurologist and get some proper tests done. Find out what your problem actually is and what caused it.
Then allow the professionals to advise you on the best course of medication.
Randomly trying this and that can cause all sorts of issues, stop doing it.

I agree with with Numbfoot. Its impossible to find specific answers to your case on a message board. Adverse reactions to medication are difficult for health professionals to diagnose with your complete medical history. Some random poster's similar experience with Flagyl may not be appropriate to you. I wish you well.
