| 4 | Parasites | Ravenous appetite, couldn't stop thinking about food, craving fatty/rich foods, out of it, not fully cognitive. | I actually believe that my symptoms were from die off (Herxheimer) and not side effects of the medication. You are killing bugs which release toxins into your blood stream when they die so you may feel badly for a while. | F | 46 | 14 days 400 2X day | 4/5/2013 | 5 | T. trichiura | Low energy | I took this medication while I had Giardia - I had to finish it before I could take the Giardia medication so I'm not sure I had any side effects from Albenza | F | 39 | 3 days 1X day | 10/5/2011 | 4 | Chronic Giardiasis | After 3 days I have headaches and subtle hand tremor. Slw thinking as well. | M | 31 | 3 days | 5/17/2009 |
