I was also prescribed Cipro and pheneragan cause I had 3 severe flare ups back to back. I have never had any problems with Cipro but as I am already on anxiety medication which my doctor knew and he put me on this horrible drug. I literally thought I was having a heart attack. I felt like I was going to jump out of my own skin. Plus my left side which hurt anyway because of the diverculitis hurt 10 times worse. I only took 3 of the Flagyl tablets and it has been over 3 months and I had to go up on my anxiety medication because I was having severe panic attacks and my hands shook all the time. I am a bartender at a Country Club and this did not look good. Luckily my doctor did agree it was the Flagyl and is actually helping me in a law suit. This drug needs to be outlawed. I feel so terrible some days and it is hard to even go to work but I have to and I hated having to up my dose of my anxiety medication just to keep my hands steady.
