Has anyone else suffered bouts of anxiety and/or depression (or any other emotional complaints) while on Tindamax? I am currently pulsing 3 days on 4 days off. I notice a change in mood just a few hours after my first dose and usually continues until the first off day. I just feel really down and lonely which triggers my anxiety (and as we know depression and anxiety don't play nice).

Also, is this probably more of a herx or more of a side effect of the Tindamax?

I don't think it's the Tindamax. Tindamax is cyst busting which is why you need a binder like chlorella or activated charcoal. Your system has that much more die off/toxins (when you are pulsing) which =herx which =anxiety depression. It's a lot of stress on our bodies.

You can understand why people post rants. If you haven't experienced this it's truly hard to imagine.

So sorry you are one of this club.

I agree with Janet (and she explained things better than I would have ;)

If you're interested in trying any herbs, Buhner recommends a choice of 4 for anxiety (you could take just 1,2,3 or all 4).

Let me know if you'd like any details.

Oh, he recommends 9 grams daily of fermented wheat germ to treat wasting (severe weight loss). He lists a couple other things that could help but considers the fermented wheat germ to be the best choice.

I just developed anxiety after increasing my babesia herbs and just placed an order for motherwort to take in addition to the Chinese Skullcap I'm already taking.

Sorry treatment isn't easier :(

Good Morning America did a segment a day this week on chronic pain. I thought this one was very interesting. At the 3 minute mark of this video they explain why Lyme patients have adrenal issues and many of the other issues.

Teejay, I found the same issues arise with pulsing Flagy. It doesn't usually affect me till the end of day 2 or I wake up with it on day 3.

Detoxing does help I have found and after a few pulses I know it's only going to last a couple of days before things shift back to 'normal'. I prefer the herbs though as the dosage is easier to lower so I am only using them now rather than the abx.

Lol, jrpsf, the cause of many, many a rant!!!

I notice someone mention Chlorella as a binder....I just added this to my supplements. I didnt realize it was a binder I was told it can help with nerve pain. Should it be taken away from abx since it is a binder also????? Soooo many meds and its hard to time at what point of day to take what. Thanks!

Yes, justinj - it should be taken away from antibiotics, too.

I know, it is difficult fitting it all in...

so take a couple hours after abx when I take other binders??
