Been on zithro for about a week, starting to notice dizziness and lightheadness. How common are these in relation to herxing? and if anybody has experienced these.

have you been on any other antimicrobials? if so, did you herx with them?

You could certainly be herxing from the zithro. I definitely did, it flared my original symptoms.

It is also possibly a side effect, sometimes very hard to discern between herxing and a side effect.

I'm a heavy HERXer... I definitely go thru the dizzy light headed stuff. I get waves of different body system herx. It's fascinating.

I do UVLrx treatments right, and after the first it was kidney pain that lasted a few hours. The second one was extremely hormonal, the third one was all in my head (dizzy, no concentration, no memory), the last one has been all digestive...

I will be adding in the Buhner herbs once they arrive.

Consistently, I do CSM, FIR sauna, ozone sauna, epsom soaks (foot and body), ACV, glutathione, caster packs, curcurmin and dry brushing. The HERX

I've also done chlorella but noticed nothing much change.

Yes I guess a feel a little dizzy and disoriented, and its more noticeable the few hours after I take the dose rather than later in the day if that makes any sense.

It does sound like a herx, more because of the timing than anything else. Try increasing your detoxing and see if that helps.

Zithro caused a tremendous herx and piggybacks on white blood cells to the location of the infection. Terrible joint and muscle pain, with an overall malaise, low-grade fever feeling.

THe highest concentration of Zithro happens three hours after taking it, but its half-life is 68 hours, so it can take more than a week to clear your system on two doses. Meaning if you herx from it, it may last awhile.
