Allan..... Flagyl is an antibiotic which was prescribed for me to treat a non-PD related infection. During the week I took the drug I felt as near-normal as I had in the 21 years I've lived with PD. The drug is NOT a PD mendicant... this was surprise reaction causing me to do the 3 weeks of testing which I posted about here on the list. Based upon advise given me by the clinical pharmacologist from the HMO I belong to, I've decided, however well I felt, that it is potentially too dangerous to take the drug on a continuous basis even for relief of PD symptoms.
