So I've been on minocycline and augmentin for about 17 days, since started, I've had burning headaches in forehead and neck, extreme nausea, and vertigo. I can't exercise or move at all or drink water to detox because of the nausea and vertigo, also the buzzing in my arms and legs is so intense. I really need some help here, I am suffering so bad.

Bordelyme-was this similar to what happened to you on mino? I don't know if this is a herx or what. If it's a good thing I can try and stick it out, but it's really limiting me and getting my spirits down. I don't want to stop or cut back on dose if it will push me back in progress.

Any one's thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

With mino I could just hardly move - I was so incredibly weak and didn't even have the energy to crawl on my hands and knees. I do remember having worse headaches - don't remember if I was nauseous or not. But as far as the not being able to move, yeah, that sounds about right. This happened to me on only 100 mg (my doctor wanted me to work up to 200 but I never got there - I was only on it for about a month).

I'm not sure what to tell you - looking back, it was the worst experience of my life, but it does seem to have done its job - my CD57 went up after it and my guess is that because it went right through the blood brain barrier, and also because my body had never had this drug before, it just killed a lot off at once. See if maybe you can cut it down, or split up your current dose throughout the day.

If you're nauseous, this may not be a great idea, but I've recently been doing oil pulling for detoxing, which doesn't require you to move anything but your mouth - might be worth looking into.

thank you for the info-i'm on 200mg twice a day along w/augmentin and amandandine, plus my iv rocephin I think I'm going to try and stick it out I have a few more days then i go to flagyl for a week so i'll see too what happens and try to take note when I go back on

I noticed I got very nauseated when i did my salt bath tonigh, I got out and drank water and it went away, I think I'm always very dehydrated. but my headache got worse,, I don't know what's going on at this point. lol..

a side note- my cd57 went from a 2 to an 11--this is a matter of months, but I guess one good thing idk.

is the oil pulling okay when your on antibiotics, I mean it won't take them all out of your body?

The oil pulling should be fine, can't think of any reason it would interfere with the abx. You're supposed to do it on an empty stomach, so that would mean you're doing it away from abx anyways.

Congrats on getting that CD57 up! It gets easier, believe me!
