I started to suddenly feel like super calm and mellow and it scared me because I'm so used to feeling anxious and wired up. I thought maybe I just feel mellow and relaxed , but as the day went on I felt "too relaxed" . I don't smoke Marijuana or anything but it felt like when you get "too high , this is exactly why I don't use Marijuana or oils lol. I felt way too calm and slow to where I didn't even want to talk almost like if I couldn't function and my partner said I've been quiet all day and non chatty. It scared me because im so used to feeling hypervigilant due to ptsd and bpd and asked myself is it lyme or herx or? The slow feeling went away like after 30 min and didn't return after bentonite clay. I did that immediately when I got home . I asked my partner to drive us back home because I felt I was too calm and in slow motion. Anyone experience this to where you don't even want to talk or anything and feel slow like paralyzed? It's scary

So many things can happen with this.

Yes, Ive experienced that one too.

One time in my heeling days, my energy suddenly dropped out on a woods trail in the winter on my snow/fat tire bike. I started resting on logs and walked/pushed a ways. This was for about three miles. Was trying my best to get out before dark without passing out in the snow, which could have ended bad.

Like most the re-occurrence was less and less. I did at least check my blood pressure and glucose when that happened at home, nothing alarming at the time.

Flip-flopping hormone levels (all of them prob) along with nervous system highs and lows have almost no limitations on how you feel it.

I just went with the flow and still do. Energy wise I am seldom right in the middle, but its not as bad as in the past..

Back then I made sure to take advantage of days with normal energy, and relax/nap on days where your almost standing asleep.

I will be sure to keep this one in mind as I have 3 kids at home ( all boys who go at it all day!) So there's always something to do.
And wow, you were a good ways into the trails huh? Good you got along that far and we're able to make It out in time.

That seems like beta-endorphin, which is released from the pituitary as a side effect of ACTH production. This happens when cortisol is too low, and due to the diurnal cortisol cycle I usually get this in the afternoon or evening. It is bad because it causes tolerance similar to morphine and the next day I feel like crap. It also causes constipation and diarrhea. Generally I treat it with hydrocortisone and LDN.

Maybe the bactrim is messing with your adrenals?

Totally forgot about this. My adrenals were already screwed long before starting abx. My llmd did mention LDN. I'll mention it to him next appt. How will you know when to stop taking the LDN?

Yeah, bactrim is risky if you have adrenal problems, as is fluconazole or rifampin.

If you take naltrexone it should reduce the "calm and mellow" feeling, but you'll probably also need to take hydrocotrisone if your cortisol is too low.

I thought I read somewhere that we could also take magnesium to balance adrenals?

Got that from neuroborreliosis scarring on hipocampus. My brain was screwed because of the infection and cytokines/QUINolonic acid etc.

Only thing that ridded of my neuro problems was Rocephin picc line. If they had pill I'd take it. It kills 60% of Lyme in vitro but it's it's impact on EAAT2 in brain that clears brain fog potently. Any herb/antibiotic that pumps glutamate from nmda synapse will tremendously help neuro problems. It was night and day for me.

It basically stops excitotoxicity from QUIN/Ammonia in brain which is usually in excess for Lyme patients.
