Hello LABLOVER. I also feel a little odd after a few weeks on the drug, In fact I would say, impatient and a little too ready to snap back verbally, I try to ease back and not set goals too high and be pragmatic. When my wife found out I was coming off Cipro and going onto Metronidazol she was not too happy, I now must take great care to accept any sort of negative comment from her as if I respond she says the drug makes me impossible to live with. Seriously I now know the affect, so do ensure I am a pussy cat at all times. I had a bout of double vision two days ago. Overall though my pouchitis is much better I do for some reason have a ravenous appetite. I will ask to reduce the dose to 200mg three times a day from 400 mg. it is a powerful drug being used to suppress what in most cases is the friendly flora that live in the lower digestive tract, I do not think the medical people really understand the way the Antibiotic works in the case of Pouchitis only that it gets results.
I have asked to go back on either Sulfasalizine or Mesalazine. orally. Can I ask What dose your Husband was taking.? and how long before he needed to come off it. or even if he has managed to maintain a very long or continuous use?
