I have been on cryptolepis for about 7 days now 20 drops 3 times a day ....after a month of doing mepron/biaxin/plaquenil. I was feeling the best I have felt in a long time just doing the crypto these past 7 days now all of sudden I am panicky, lightheaded, and exhausted. its been 2 days with no crypto and the symptoms are sill there but not as bad. Is this a herx or am I getting worse? should I go back on mepron or lower my dose of crypto

Hi shawnjrrr, welcome to the forum!

The fact that symptoms are improving after a few days off crypto would potentially indicate this is from a herx.

I would consider giving yourself a few more days to stabilize and then restart the crypto at a much lower dose. Stay at that dose for a week or so, see how you do, and if symptoms don't go bonkers gradually start increasing doses again.

Are you implementing various detox methods?

How long ago did you finish your last dose of Mepron et al ?
Just prior to starting the Cryptolepis?
A month of Mepron is a really short time.

... and Welcome to our community!!

Detox methods:

- warm Epsom salt baths
- Dry brush your skin prior to the baths
- support your liver - eg. Milk thistle extract daily
- support your gut - Take probiotics - daily
- Take Nutramedix Burbur
- Take Nutramedix Pinella
- Take Jernigan’s Neuro-Antitox CNS/PNS Brain/Nerve cleanse
- Light exercise as tolerated.
- sauna
- Take a binder - eg activated charcoal -must be taken a few hours away from meds, food, supplements or it will flush them out with the toxins.

Some more ideas here:

Start with just a couple methods and every few days add in another one - until you are doing multiple methods daily.

I took my last dose of mepron a week before I started taking crypto. I went and got a refill because I was freaking out about how bad I was feeling. Is it safe to take mepron/plaquenil/biaxin along with crypto and sida acuta and thanks for all the info!! I've been on here for 45 minutes and already have learned so much!

So you were feeling good after the month of Mepron?
I’m wondering if the Mepron was working - and then you stopped - and a week later you started to get symptoms back?

If the Mepron was working for you - and you tolerate it well - I would take it longer - minimum - 4 months.

I took Cryptolepis with Mepron (LLMD prescribed it)

You’re welcome - glad you’re reading and learning!

I purchased the burbur pinella haven't used it yet should I wait a few hours after I take the mepron to take the burbur pinella also?

You don’t need to wait until after you’ve taken the Mepron to take the Burbur/Pinella.

But you can take it after - don’t think you need to wait two hours -
