So my meds have been giving me strange symptoms so my Dr took me off my amoxicillin and now I'm on vacation and I have the "flu" a few days after not taking my antibiotics. about every 10 hrs I experience intense flu symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this?

It's likely your Lyme symptoms coming back. Many describe feeling like they are coming down with the flu at the beginning of their infections. Are you on any other abx or herbs for treatment?

No I am not. He told me to wait till my next appointment which is on the 11th. My reaction seemed to be just like a herx when I was taking them but he thought it would be safe to just lay off them for a while. I had a feeling I wld get sick on vaca if I didn't take them.

Is it something that might make me feel better if I take small amounts of the antibiotic?

Its possible. It depends on the person. For me, I almost always feel better immediately on abx but I hear that I'm the rare case in that one. Did you feel better on abx? I would say use your best judgement. I'm guided by my dr but I follow my instincts and thus far they have served me well. :)

Something to consider is using natural means to treat your infections, or at least while you are off the abx. Some people just have trouble tolerating the high dose abx.
