I am wondering if tinidzole is causing my suddenly severe anxiety/depression. I have been on Bactrim for the past 7 weeks and on Tinidazole for the past 3 weeks. In the past few days I just feel so horrible. Like a mixed state. Can't hardly handle it. I want to jump out of my skin. Not suicidal, but close. Can tinidazole cause this?

I have lyme, bart, and babesia.

It could. It's a cyst buster that lets the spirochete out when the cyst 'dissolves'. It's companion, Flagyl, brought out a very short temper with me, rage even. I experimented to make sure it was the Flagyl and had to stop it. Detoxing didn't help noticeably but I probably wasn't doing enough. I had to stop altogether on my (abx)cyst buster.
ETA: It could be a herx based reaction.

What is your detox program like?

Depression, and to a lesser extent anxiety, are some of my worst symptoms with Lyme. When I started antibiotics, I herxed and my symptoms got worse, including the depression. Maybe you're herxing????

Thank you. Yes, I have been wondering if its herxing. I have had so many different kinds of herxes, that I can't always differentiate between a herx and a side effect. Needless to say, neuotoxins could be forming and causing my symptoms. I just started getting really scared and thought I should see a psychiatrist. But I only have a week left, so perhaps I should just push through and see if my symptoms improve when I'm done. Just so hard to deal. Two and a half years of mostly hell.

julymorning Thanks for your response. I am probably not detoxing enough. I am taking CSM 2 x a day and also a teaspoon of milk thistle tincture (mediherbs) mixed in water. Take epsom salt baths 3 x a week or so, or more when I am very achy. Also taking a lot of magnesium since the CSM makes me constipated. I'm also on Liposomal Artiminisin and that stuff is strong...and could be contributing. Any other detox suggestions?

Yes - sounds like you could be herxing - the Artemisinin would also add to that.

I like Nutramedix Pinella - Brain-Nerve Cleanse combined with Burbur.
I find They're very effective when taken together.

You might want to purchase a natural bristle brush with a long handle and dry brush your skin prior to the Epsom salt baths.

Girlie had some good ideas. My go to when I'm losing control is my Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with the 'Mother' in it. Has to have the Mother.

And if I haven't been already drinking water with half a lemon in it, I make a couple of batches and keep it close to me.

It never ceases to amaze me what the Bragg's ACV helps me with.

If those fail, or I feel a really heavy herx coming on, I make sure I've got two hours cleared of previous meds/supplements, and a good two hours until I need to take something again, to take the recommended dose of charcoal capsules with at least 12 ounces of water.

Excellent suggestions everybody. I will get a brush and do the dry brushing and I think I have the brain-nerve cleanse. I appreciate your support at such times. Its nice to have people who know what I'm talking about.
