I'm just wondering if my dosage will be enough to see results.

I started on 500 mg Clarithromycin and 875 mg Amox

It was way too much...at least on that day. So my doc has me doing a half dosage. I'm doing 250 mg Clar and about 430 Amox (whatever the half of 875 is)

twice a day..which I believe is like 1360 mg total? (I'm an English teacher, thank goodness!)

I know we are all different, and I trust my doctor's recommendation. I think her plan is to eventually get my dosage up, but I'm just hoping that we are at least making some progress right now. I'm feeling pretty lousy, if that is any (good) indication.

Binduspire,

I've just noticed that you didn't get a reply on your post from August 4th.

I don't know the exact dosages of Clarithromycin and Amoxicillin, but I think it's safer and better to handle to build up dosage. The die-off of the spirochetes can make you feel very lousy (Herxheimer Reaction).

Please be sure you detox enough! You can find lots of info about detoxing in the 'New to Lyme?.... Start here!' thread. Very important to detox, your body needs to get rid of the toxins...

Good luck!
