Up all night, severe depression, internal vibrations, insomnia

Hello again,
It would seem since I added Andrographis and red root tincture (1 teaspoon twice a day thus far) I have begun to suffer immensely, after having almost two months of very minimal symptoms. This is the 3rd time now this has happened to me, I treat I herx so bad I can't take it anymore, wind down a bit, symptoms settle for a month, start a new herb then im in hell again.

This time, it started with increased muscle aches, constantly all day and horrible creptitus. Then comes the depression. Horrible. Then came twitching and popcorn feeling under the skin, a stabbing pain in my arm. Then last night complete insomnia. I even took my Epsom bath, had ashwaganda, I felt tired then got into bed and felt anxiety, internal vibrations, and feeling that my brain was being poisoned by depression. I didn't know a human being could feel such despair but each time lyme seems to take me further into the pits of hell, and when this happens I feel like I am loosing myself. These bugs are stealing the real me. It scares me.
Anyway I got two hours sleep then had to go to work. I am detoxing as much as I can. What should I do, keep trucking or back off on the andrographis? I feel like I need to keep fighting this time, but last night say awful. How can I heal when I can't sleep properly. Other nights I can fall asleep but I find im im such a light unrefreshing sleep, im almost aware that im half asleep.
Any tips for insomnia/internal vibrations would also be appreciated.
Thank you all so much!

Hi July, I wasn't sure about the red root doseage either my I did start out at one slower in the beginning of December but I worked my way up, now this.

Im doing dry brush, Epsom baths, yoga, activated charcoal, milk thistle. And I got some lemons too to start having lemon water again.

I guess I get confused by the word drop haha. Does that mean just one little tiny drop from the tincture, or the one full dropper of the tincture? (I started out with about a half a teaspoon)

Evi,

I am so sorry you are going through this. It sound truly awful. Please know it will pass.

Sounds like your dosing is way high. I herx with everything and am very similar in that I want to treat, I try something, and then I cannot function so I stop. I reintroduced Red Sage and am still holding strong at 3 drops.

Go as slow as you need to go.

For sleep stick with the ashwaganda, add in a cup of Yogi Bedtime tea with several drops of Valerian tincture or Passionflower tincture. I alternate so my body doesn't get used to them.

Feel better. Sending you prayers that you feel better and sleep tonight.

Take activated charcoal. It always helps me when I have herx.
