I take two 500 mg flagyl pills for three days every other week. I also take doxy and omnicef although I am now giving doxy a break as it seemed to cause a rash. I take herbals as well. I now take collidal silver, Japanese knotweed, and grapefruit seed extract to name a few

I think I understand now. My Lyme brain sometimes doesn't want to cooperate, you know.

Is it possible to take herbs when taking this?

I wanted to start Sida Acuta?

Careful with this... Tindamax can cause some nasty reactions when consumed with even small amounts of alcohol, like the alcohol in a Sida Acuta tincture.

I take 500 mg 2x a day for three days every other week. I also take omnicef and doxy but just had to go off doxy due to a rash. I am also on herbals such as collidal silver, Japanese knotweed, Gse, and Byron whites a-l complex

Sry I didn't see that posted and I ended up posting the same thing twice

Mustard Seed, what should I do then? If I wait 2-3 hours, would it help?

And what kind of reactions it can provoke?

I'm honestly not too sure the details, I just know people seem to have reactions when taking alcohol with Flagyl and/or Tindamax. My LLMD noted it too and decided to hold off on the Flagyl because I was taking a bunch of tinctures.

BBM - Tindamax has a fairly long half-life -approx 12-14 hours...so there will still be a high concentration in your blood 2-3 hours later.

Flagyl is shorter - 8 hours approx. but still high concentration 2-3 hours later.

I have been putting my tinctures in hot water...letting them sit for awhile - hoping the alcohol will dissipate, but not sure if that even works.


NOTE: My LLND knew I was on Buhner herbs when he prescribed Tindamax...so not sure if there's enough alcohol in the amount of herbs I was taking to cause adverse effects with the Tindamax. I didn't know this about tindamax so never asked him.

I did a check with the Drug Interaction Report:

/www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.php

ethanol tinidazole
Applies to: Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) (ethanol), tinidazole

Ask your doctor before using ethanol together with tinidazole. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking tinidazole and for at least 3 days after you stop taking it. You may have unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, warmth or redness under your skin, tingly feeling, nausea, and vomiting. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Mustard Seed, I thought about taking just two tinctures. Do you think it can still cause some negative effects, even though it is not full protocol?

Girlie, you took tinctures with Tindi and you didn't have side effects, right?

And do you take herbs tinctures on an empty stomach or after meal?

I don't think I had any side effects..but I am tingly anyway and do have fast heartbeat from sitting to standing.

So, I wouldn't notice if it also caused those...


The less tinctures you are taking, the lower the amount of alcohol - so I don't think it would be as bad as taking the amount of alcohol in the full protocol.

I would take my tinctures, wait 10-15 minutes (give them a head start) take my abx...then eat.
