Nystatin? Do you take it?

I met with an LLMD for the first time last month.  He prescribed nystatin to help with gut/yeast/however you describe it.  Does anyone else take this?  How do you know if it's working?

I think I'm just overwhelmed with meds/supplements and tired of taking everything.  I start out great (cause I'm ready to try anything), but then I start questioning it. 

Currently I'm taking:  Cymbalta, Armour Thyroid, Zyrtec, just prescribed natural compounded hormones, but haven't started taking them yet, Nystatin. 

I will be starting my abx for the Lyme this week. 

Then there is the plethera of supplements and everyone has a different opinion of what is important.  What all do you take and why?

 

I know it gets overwhelming taking so many different things! Unfortunately some of it is trial and error, and you'll probably end up weeding things out, adding things, getting rid of others, etc.

I've been really fortunate to have a doctor who not only suggests supplements for whatever issues I'm having, but she supplies them right in her office. I think the most important thing is to take one new thing at a time (or at least try not to start too many new things at once) and try to pay extra attention to what seems to work and what doesn't.

Most of my supplements are based on specific problems that have shown up in my labs, although in general a good multivitamin/multimineral is always a good idea, and of course probiotics! A lot of people - myself included - have good results with magnesium as well, and fish oil.

I haven't used the nystatin but I know a lot of other members have. We have a pretty good search function on the forum - if you just type in "nystatin" you might find some more information. Same for supplements - I'm sure it's been discussed - probably in length! - knowing us, so that might be helpful. Hang in there, before you know it taking all these pills will become like second nature to you (although I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing!).
