I first had Metronidazole (Flagyl) to treat Helicobacter Pylori, way back in 1994 when the link between H.Pylori and stomach ulcers was still tenuous in the minds of most family doctors. I remember the bad metallic taste and constant hangover-like headache, but what I dont recall is just how stark, raving bonkers it makes me.
I remember now, because I am an elephant. Or a duck. And I'm halfway through a course.
Ok, so its not quite *that* bad, but I'm full of bitchy snappy retorts, I go into rooms to do stuff and forget what it was I was doing (or go into the wrong room completely), and I get halfway through something and
Thank god I only have a few days left. Work tomorrow night is going to be FUN! And I cant drink either, as metronidazole is a fantastic aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor.
See? I can remember 'aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor', but not why I'm typing this with my toothbrush in my mouth. I was probably going to brush my teeth. I'm at my desk at work. What is my toothbrush even DOING here?!?
*sigh*
