I've been dealing with postpartum anxiety for a year and a half. I am currently on lexapro 20mg, for 2 1/2 weeks, after slowly titrating up over the last four months. It has helped some but I still...
Anxiety and panic attacks are my biggest symptom. I feel the same way- with anxiety coming out of nowhere. Mine too has gotten worse with initial treatment. I switched to azythromicin, after being on...
Thank you all for your kind replies. Before this week and the return if bad anxiety, I felt I have hit a plateau in my treatment. Is this normal? We did try allicin instead of adding a second abx but...
I started antibiotics (omnicef) three months ago. At first, I had a bad herx reaction (severe anxiety) but have been getting progressively better. My family has been impressed with my improvement...
My LLMD seemed to think, because I am not that sick and because it seems I have had symptoms for a shorter time (a year), that antibiotics would be a better option. In other words, just knock the...
Thank you Trav, I think you are right about making sure everything else is in order. It is all too easy to blame every little symptom on lyme. I think my adrenals are a little bit off. it gets...
Thank you for all the responses. For me, and I imagine most everyone, the most disheartening part is that after a bad herx I feel just as badly as I did before the herx. I would hope that after such...
Megara, Thank you for your kind words. I too believe in the power of prayer. This illness and treatment has definitely tested my faith. I know that someday this will all be for the better but right...
Begonia, I too have been experiencing chest pain for the last two months. It hurts when I breathe but the pain is not severe. Now the back of my necks and shoulders are tight and stiff too. I was...
Bloopy, Thanks for the insight. I did do a salivary adrenal test. My cortisol levels are off the mark but not too much. There a little too low at noon and a little too high at night. Maybe the herx...
I am also taking cefdinir. Is it the drug or just the die-off?...
Thank you for that mystery. I talked to my llmd who said 6-12 months. But I figured it must get better little by little or at least better than this. I am In the middle if a dark hole of depression...
Started antibiotics ten days ago. Have had to endure a wicked herx. My symptoms are all neuro with predominate anxiety. My herx is easing up a bit. My question is how long does it take to see...
I started my antibiotics last week. Starting on day 3, I have been overly emotional as well. Anxiety and depression are my main lyme symptoms ( never been a problem before). Now that I am on meds the...
This symptom is really ruining my day. I usually am doing fine then I get a feeling like a head rush/feeling faint/lightheaded. It usually makes me nauseous at the same time. My head will often times...
I'm in cefdinir because I can't take doxy. My doctor likes this drug because it penetrates the blood brain barrier better....
My ND hates flying too. She swears by an amino acid called l-theanine. She says it is very calming and good for any time we have to do something stressful like flying, public speaking, etc. You can...
Is there a reason to the twice a day antibiotic timing? I take mine I the am and before bed. I feel worse upon waking(before my dose) and in the evening(before my next dose). Does this have anything...
I just spoke with my llmd. He said 3-7 days. I figured since I restarted the meds on Saturday I might have a few more days. I rented a sauna from my nd so hopefully that will help....
My anxiety is my chief complaint. I started abx last week and my anxiety is through the roof. I had a panic/ shaking episode last night. I take valerian tincture a lot during the day. I assume this...
Thank you opugirl, I am on 600mg of omnicef. I am glad to know you felt better after two weeks. I can make it that far! This anxiety just makes me think the worst. Plus I have four little kids...
I started on abx last week (day 8 today). Around day 3 I started to feel my typical brain fog, lightheaded, and very emotional ( all of my typical symptoms). My head feels like it was screwed on...
One more thing you might want to try is having your neurotransmitters tested. These are the things like serotonin, gaba, dopamine, etc. that contribute to depression and anxiety. If you are deficient...
I feel like I know exactly how you feel. I just started my treatment this week (omnicef). My symptoms have always been neuro - anxiety, depression, crying, feeling faint, fatigue and just over-all...
After the birth of my fourth child, ten months ago, I have experienced panic (with hour long shaking episodes), anxiety, and depression. It comes in waves. A lot of it stems from the fact my head...
