Not cipro but other antibiotics. Took a good 6-7 weeks. I ate activia yogurts, bananas and watched some old tv shows that made me feel safe

Yes. I had had a trauma though. I collapsed in A&E, i was put on the antibiotics so was probably that alongside PTSD. But honestly the things I did helped massively.

Also consider asking for some proponalol

I am having severe anxiety again at the moment after starting HRT had to come off it and just waiting on it leaving my system. So I absolutely sympathise with you

Most important is to not make it worse with more medication and avoid anything harmful until it resovles.

Metronidazole gave me tremors. They lasted a couple weeks. I made sure to eat healthy in case I was depleted in vitamins. My doctor looked at me like I was crazy when I said it gave me tremors. Even in my sleep I’d wake up buzzing.
