Serious Don't take albendazole (1 Viewer)

[sneakyalex7]

After taking it for about 2 days I started to experience extreme brain fog and some dizziness, as well as general feelings of depression and suicidal thoughts.
it's been about a month and a half and I am still experiencing bad brain fog and occasional feelings of depression. the brain fog is comparable to the brain fog experienced only a day or two after a concussion. I wouldn't recommend taking albendazole or any other anti-parasitics unless you can verify that you have the parasite and it is causing symptoms.

why did you take something to kill parasites without knowing if you had parasites

cause I was served raw pork in a sandwich, I have chronic stomach pain so the doctor and my parents forced me to take it without doing a test as the trichinosis would enter my muscles and be much harder to treat

how do you know it isnt the parasite itself or nocebo?
is this a known side effect?

I don't think parasites can enter the brain within 3 days correct me if i'm wrong, also I didn't think anything negative about anti-parasitics.
yes albendazole can cause depression and mental fog/confusion as well as other psychological issues
