The most important thing if you're having any concerns about the Flagyl is to have your blood work taken so you can have your liver enzymes checked. One potential consequence of certain medications, is how hard they work the liver. Make sure to drink plenty of water--and take lots of probiotics! Don't forget to stay away from alcohol as well--that can make you very sick while taking Flagyl.
