Bacterial Infection
"Was prescribed (basically, handed a packet of pills) metronidazole by the company doctor on the Pacific island where I&#039;m currently doing volunteer work. Five day course. By day two my dizziness and nausea had turned into uncoordinated gait and problems with fine motor control; that night I woke up panicking and completely dissociated from my surroundings. Went to another doctor who happens to be living in the same village as me, she told me I was having a rare and very serious sensitively to the drug. Miserable experience, but like I said, very rare. I&#039;m sharing because the second doctor told me I was on it too long: if you experience any loss of balance or coordination on these drugs, even if you don&#039;t feel bad, you need to see a doctor."
