I have just finished the one-week triple-therapy for Helicobacter Pylori. I was very severely ill with the combination of these three drugs. I was also on 5 other drugs as well for me being doolaaley. e.g. Risperidone Depot, Amisulpride, Throxine 150mcg, and the HP meds were Metronidazole 400mg tds, Amoxicillin 500mg tds, and the PPI which was Omeprazole 20mg bd. I went through the horrors, I thought I was going to die and I mean that, I thought I might have a stroke, because I stayed awake for 4 night and 5 days with it. I don't take stimulants though, I haven't used stimulants for a good number of years. I could have died anyway. I was very seriously ill with the treatment for H.Pylori. Very ill. So very Ill that I got profound anxiety and couldn't sleep. I did four throughers and then on the fifth night I had a siezure. I was touch and go. It's very hard. That Metronodazole is an immensely hard drug indeed in my opinion and I know it has a lot of profound side-effects. I was close to death-
I sympathise with you - I've had the drugs for too for h.pylori and felt truly awful.  They should warn you how bad it's going to be!  It's a pretty nasty bacteria to have though,  apparently it can cause stomach ulcers and has been linked to cancers so be happy you are now rid of it.
