I switched from doxy to ceftin because of sun sensitivity. Would that have caused a herx? For the past week I'm back to being tired zombie-like and anxious where all I can do is lay down and curl up in a ball

Yes it can. Even though they are both antibiotics they work slightly differently. Your body was getting used to one and you switched, so now your body will get used to another.

Up the detox and it is okay to rest a lot.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, each time you switch up antibiotics you can herx.

Often a switch up is done when you have plateaued on one protocol. The new protocol will sometimes will be like starting over again - especially if it has some effect on a co-infection.
