Hi all,
I need rifampin, but can’t tolerate it. I used to years ago, can’t now in my late 40’s. Last time I took it, it caused bad adrenal surges. Raised cortisol, not a good experience. I’ve heard rifabutin aka mycobutin can be a good alternative. Anyone have experience with this one? Does anyone know if it will cause adrenal issues? Thanks!
It’s part of my treatment - has been since 2018 when I switched from my LLND to DrJ (LLMD)
Dr J says Rifabutin is “cleaner” than Rifampin.
Sorry but I don’t recall what that means.
I do I know that I plateaued with my LLND.
DrJ took over and I am now fully functionally now - including back to work and earning money again.
(Was off for over 6 years )
It may also cause adrenal surges…
But I didn’t have high cortisol when on the Rifabutin
