Nope didn't experience that at all with minocycline. I've been on minocycline for 8 months now. Are you herxing as well with the minocycline?

I have never really herxed as I interpret from others experiences. I have had a few symptoms geg worse and overall feel generalky unwell but whag j notice is the symps that have improvec a little. Right now the tinnitus is just making me miserable, most times I just trh to ignore it but it seems louder this padt coulle weeks, just feel tortured.

The tiredness might be a herx. Some of my herxes have been overwhelming tiredness. Hopefully it will subside soon if that's what it is.

Roxie - you said you don't think you herxed, but your symptoms got worse? I think that is a herx.

Yes girlie, im starting to think the same just surprised how long it took to herx, not sure what that means in terms of recovery. Im still not sure if it was a herx, hevk im still jot 100% convinced it is lyme but when I add up eveything (various symps, sick for years, cd57 low, some Bb response on igenex but negative, positive for mycoplasma and anaplasma and now possible herx). But I am doing a bit better, had about 3-4 hours of real energy yesterday but probably over did it cause wipped out rest of day.

Roxie, I felt drunk on the mino, no way could I continue taking it and work. I would think your herxing on it. I have had increase in pain and very fatigued when herxing.
