Sorry, we can not give out any kind of medication advice, we are not Dr's.

I was only wondering if i was considered safe with your experience on the 2gm that i took. not holding you liable for anything just advise. any help would be great. i went to a healthcare and asked doctor but i like to get all the info i can get just to reassure me.  
thank you for any additional info.

We don't give medication info. Follow up with your Dr.

i self medicated myself, she was prescribed. i was not tested or anything. i just asked to get flagyl meds at the doctor and told him i had been exposed to trich. well he gave me the 14 meds 2 a day but i read about the 2gm and tough it might be ok. i know i should of finished it but i read plenty of reviews and 2gm was the most effective.
whats you opinion??

I feel that what you did was the right thing to do because I went to the clinic and was told I had trich and my doctor told me to tell my sex partner to go get treated fro trich because long as I have and he and I we sexually active he automatically have it to and it will not show up in men it only shows up in females

Did you self medicate? Why did you stop?

[royismydog]

she did. she took the 2 pills 7 day course a week b4 me.(no sex) she finished her treatment as directed.
i took 500mg first night 1000mg next day and 2gm(4 pills 500mg) the 3rd day and i stopped. read online about the one time dosage so i decided to go with that. was that wrong?? took the 4 pills thursday 4pm and on sunday 12am had unprotected sex. did i take any risk??

7 days is the standard waiting period. Did partner treat also? If not he/she should.
