Has Anyone Tried Unasyn (ampicillin and sulbactam)?

Hello All,

I apologize for continuing to come here with questions, but right now I'm at a total loss on what to do.

Up until the last couple of weeks, I was doing okay, but I could tell the bicillin shots were not working much or at least not having much impact. That has been slowly fading since mid-December.

Morning anxiety has been growing and depression has been worse. And my energy level at about 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. is gone. The fatigue is unbelievable. Also can't think as well with names. Not too bad, but it's there. Not sure if that might be yeast related also, but I am treating for yeast much more now.

Also, talked with a herbalist (Julie McIntyre) who has a program set up for me that I am slowly starting. She is a wonderful person. I am slowly starting what she has prescribed, but all this started before I ever started herbs with her. She is also not against continuing an antibiotic.

I have read where Dr. Burrascano said some strains of bacteria can become resistant to bicillin. If that happens, he wrote, Unasyn (ampicillin and sulbactam) can be used. I had a pic line last fall and ended up with fevers over 106 degress several nights. No more pic lines.

Does it make sense that bicillin can quit working in six weeks, as it seemed to, or could yeast from the shots be playing a role. Also, has anyone used Unasyn? Was going to call my LLMD and ask about it, but wanted to see what you "veterans" think first.

I'm working hard with my diet to get better, but I'm losing faith right now. And, as we all know, hope is what keeps us going.

Thanks.

Most docs do at least 2 abx at once so you won't develop resistance. Maybe the bicillin stopped working because it was a solo therapy?
