Insomnia after stopping abx

My appt. with my LLMD was yesterday and we talked about taking a break and pulsing. Some of this was to see if my diareah stopped and to also see if I still needed treatment still. It's day 2 of no sulfamethaxazole and azithromycin and past 2 days I've had bad insomnia. Is it normal to have insomnia after stopping abx and does this mean I need to be on them longer? Was suppose to stop those to abx and start methylene blue 10 mg. Scared to start it after reading it can act as a stimulant. That's the last thing I need right now. Thoughts?

Well, based on what I recently learned from myself, which is something that I knew long time ago, but then forgot (!!),…..Sleep, or lack of it has a link to gut microbe.

Stopping antibiotics has to some extent, changed your gut microbe.

Changes in gut biome also affect any other medicine that you take orally.

My gut was pretty much trashed on antibiotics and I got digestive candida several times while on antibiotics simply because antibiotics kill the gut bacteria, giving room for other types of microbes to expand territory.

Note, Candida made me feel bloated, fart a lot, increased anxiety, and decreased sleep.

The $80 bottle of Visobiome (60 in a bottle one per day) Definitely helped settle my gut and seem to help sleep too. And my symptoms of What I assumed was pancreatic insufficiency, also Drastically improved. Note: I got a prescription for it, and then I could use an online prescription coupon which brought the price down to $60
