Hi just wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to take Doxycycline, Azithromcin and Flagyl all at the same time. Thanks :)

I have but you really should consult with a doctor. Are you self-treating? That's a pretty hard-hitting Lyme combo.

My Dr. Prescribed me that mix. about 3 weeks in I started getting a terrible taste in my mouth and my eyes began to twitch ALOT. After some tests I was told the Flagyl was causing high amounts of neurotoxin buildup so she took me off it. Probably just look out ( as you would with any mix of meds ) for side effects and talk to your LLMD about them. What are your dosages if you dont mind me asking?

My normal GP's are clueless and have been treating myself for around 6 months due to money problems. I have been in flagyl and doxy before and was ok on both but I have Bart which I really need to be treating and have been wanting to try the Azith for a while now. Did this combo help you? Thanks for the reply.

My dosages will be 400 mg doxy daily, 500mg azith anf im not sure about the flagy yet. Any advice on dosage?

There's a CPn protocol, the Wheldon protocol, which includes all of the above.

Something similar is also used to treat resistant H Pylori infections.

I never took the three together. When on Azythromycin and Flagyl my dosage was Flagyl 500mg bid and Azi 500mg. I've never taken Flagyl for longer than two weeks continuously.
You may want to consider taking mega doses of Milk Thistle and probiotics at the same time.

Flagyl dosing is based on weight and ranges from 500 to 1500 for adults. Usually only people 150 pounds and over take the higher doses of 1500. I also did 400 of doxy and 500 of zith. Please keep an eye on your organs while on meds, especially flagyl. Liver enzymes, kidney function etc. Do you have a doctor that can monitor that for you (even if they don't want to treat you)?

I was on 200 mg doxy 2x day ( so 400 mgs a day ) 100 mg flagyl 3x a day ( 300 mg a day ) and I did the zithromax one week a month 500 mg a day. Just listen to your body. I'd been on lower doses of doxy and something else ( cant remember ) and had a herx starting that. This more recent time I just figured the twitching and bad taste were a new symptom and almost didnt say anything. Glad I did :) My Dr. said I was quite close to some perm. brain damage. Hope you begin to feel better soon!

The flagyl was 500 mgs 3x a day so 1500 a day total. Sorry just checked! thats what I get for relying on my brain!

Thanks for the info on the dosage, il be sure to go to my GP even it is just to check my liver etc. Im thinking just 500mg flagyl to start and maybe even pulse it as I have heard this can be effective. Did any of you see good results from this antibiotic combo? Thanks

I haven't seen any great results yet from anything (herbs and abx) but I did get a week of slight improvement from flagyl. That combo should be pretty good. It attacks all 3 forms of Lyme.

Some people pulse flagyl because it is quite toxic and can cause permanent neuropathies. It's also tough on the liver so pulsing prevents the toxic liver effects. Some people don't pulse and stay on it full force but I wouldn't stay on it full force long-term unless being strictly monitored. You should take b-6 with Flagyl and methylcobalamin to help prevent nerve damage.

Hi my doctor has me on 500mg of Azithromycin once a day

500mg of amoxicillan 2tablets 3x a day, rifampin 600mg once a day,

I also take ACS Advanced Cellular Silver, NAC, I also take coartem.  Couldn't afford Mepron ($1,500.00) I don't think so. Milk Thistle, I see a

Naturopath and I try to take some of the stuff he suggests to.  Since

I've started treatment in June of 2011 I feel better but still have a

a few issues.  My anxiety is alot better i feel as if its almost gone.(I hope)

I try to detox.  Main issues is yeast/fungal yes I do take probotics

the diet is the hardest thing to control.  Some pain everyonce in

awhile in legs, I feel as if I could control the diet and get rid of

yeast/fungal issue I would be alot better off.

Flagyl and Azi have been a very effective antibiotic combination for me. I have had the best results by taking Flagyl continuously but for short periods. Pulsing did not work for me. Note that I had the best results whilst at the same time on an antibiofilm protocol, without it I had limited results from antibiotics.
