When I took abx for 30 days I spaced the four doses evenly through the 24 hrs including the probiotics 3 hrs apart on a 24 hrs cycle. I did this based on the notion that antibiotics would be more effective on lyme if was on a constant flow without interruptions or long hrs gaps.
For example if my last dose is at 9pm than it is 12 hrs for your next dose that seem so long.
So, yes I actually got up twice in the middle of the night....like 3 am and 6 am for abx and probiotics.
Maybe all that did not matter. I know in hospitals the IV abx is a constant drip.

Question....should I space the herbal medicine and supplement the same way? Would that work better?

Thanks for all your replies.

A lot of spacing decisions are based upon the half-lives of the things we take and whether taking any concurrently with something else might affect the benefits of each (as in, Vitamin C should not be taken at the same time as B12 since negatively impacts the absorption of B12...or the fact that binders need to be taken 2-3 hrs. away from EVERYthing, etc. ).

At the point with my greatest intake of various Lyme and general health support items, I was taking stuff first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, stuff with breakfast, stuff at 9AM and 11AM, stuff with lunch, stuff at 2PM and then 3PM, stuff with dinner, stuff at 9PM, stuff at 11PM/bedtime and stuff in the middle of the night (activated charcoal).

I definitely space my herbs around the clock for more "continuous coverage"...the rest depends on optimal dosing times/parameters for stuff.

It just makes sense to me.

I didn't know about Vit C + Vit B12 either... so how to take them if they are in Multivit caps?

Does anyone know how far away to take magnesium from doxy or Ceftin?
