Hi everyone!

Currently on amoxicillin and metronidazole for a bad tooth infection. I have taken amoxicillin before and been pretty ok with it, just a upset tummy during and after but nothing too bad. This is my first time having metronidazole and having a horrible time on it, which I hope is common? I understand that extreme nausea and diarrhoea are pretty common, but has anybody else felt fatigued and sleepy. I just feel ill/off- I was worried at first that it was my infection getting worse but the pain in my tooth has significantly reduced so the only other explanation would be metronidazole. Has anybody else experienced this, and what tips would they give?
