If you were on Xanax for a year I can completely garantee you with 100% certainty that you are experiencing post benzo withdrawal syndrome. You need to be off benzos for about 4 or 5 years now before...
I've experienced something similar in a very short period of time, but I don't think it is weight gain. At least not in my case. It appears to be related to the lyme ripping up tissues, muscle,...
Hang in there Biggs. It gets better. You will have your health and your life back soon, just keep strong....
I'm on 500mg of Azithromycin and have also been having chest pains. Can't tell if its a herx or a side effect of the drug either. But my overall condition is improving with time so this makes me...
My personal take on this is that it is worth it to take the antibiotics for 4 weeks. Is sounds to me like its very possible that you have either lyme or some infectious disease and it may respond to...
Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a way to tell the difference between a Herx and an adverse reaction to a medication? I often see a lot of people claim they are herxing when it sounds to me like...
Thanks for the reply and the link Traveler....
I'm 2 weeks into Lyme Treatment and I have big time bloating as well. Whats worse (Waaay worse) is that I've got a case of gynecomastia going. I started getting this out of nowhere about 6 months...
Anyone here taking Coartem as a treatment for Lyme and/or Co infections? My doc suggested I take this for one week (by itself) every month. Was curious if anyone has had experience with this and also...
Just thought I'd follow up with a post on the thread here about my experience with Mepron. A couple days ago, I took Mepron and had a pretty decent day... didn't notice the DP as much. But the last...
Thanks for the responses and the suggestions. I did have a much easier time with the Mepron today. Way less DP and depression than the first day, so maybe I will adjust quickly. Thanks for the...
Has anyone here taken Mepron and experienced DP and increased depression? If so, does it go away after you adjust to the medication? DP has been a major issue for me over the last 10+ years and now...
I just started Zithromax (250 mg twice day) about 4 days ago and plan to start Mepron very soon. So far I've been tolerating the Zithro, but I am a bit nervous to add in the Mepron. I've seen a lot...
I've had lyme symptoms and thyroid nodules for years. All thyroid hormones have been relatively in the range so I really think it could be from the lyme....
Thanks for the reply. Yes I had lyme symptoms during the time I was taking the minocycline. I also already had the head pressure before taking the minocycline. It just got much worse when I started...
Hi, Is it possible to experience some intracranial pressure, headaches and excitotoxicity when starting Minocycline or Doxycycline? Reason I ask is I had tried Minocycline a while back (for something...
I can relate. I've had this really bad as well. Sometimes with pain and sometimes not, but its almost constant. I'm pretty certain mine is being caused by muscle and tissue breakdown, which is being...
KDS86 same here. I started having this symptom so many years back when I was probably around 16 or so. By the time I was 21, I was being wrongly diagnosed with anxiety/depression and prescribed...
Does anyone have internal vibrations? I have this almost constant, but it is really bad at night. Is this a symptom of lyme? Thanks...
Sounds like you may have stopped the med too fast. These medications should tapered very slowly to avoid withdrawal symptoms. What you are feeling is bit of depersonalization disorder which sometimes...
Hi, Your problem is most likely the Effexor. This medication is notorious for causing bipolar and mood swings in people who may have underlying anxiety conditions. This happens a lot when people stop...
Thank you for your replies. The muscle loss has been the one symptom that has made me question whether or not this could be lyme so it is interesting to hear this feedback. I have had some elevated...
Hi, Can anyone tell me if muscle loss and tissue damage/loss could be a symptom of lyme? I am not talking about the kind of muscle loss from deconditioning or being inactive. But more so, rapid...
Hi all, I am new to this forum and was hoping someone may be able to help me. I've been experiencing symptoms of what seems like it could easily be an untreated lyme. This has been going on for many...
