Ivermectin hit me very hard, but I am very sensitive and herx to pretty much everything. I was dx'd with protomyxzoa so supposedly that reacts strongly. How often are you taking the ivermectin?
I didn't get dizziness per se, but vision blurriness and amplified core symptoms.
If you are worried you could start with very small doses of the ivermectin, normally comes in 3mg tablets.
Good luck and keep us posted!

It's different for everyone. Some people they hit hard, some not. You won't know until you try them.
Iver didn't make me dizzy but Alinia did. Alinia hit me hard at first. Make sure you eat more food with Alinia, or a piece of bread.
Also, coffee enemas help.

thanks sebreg and catgirl. Sometimes i think I should just continue with the essential oil rubbing them on my feet and forget this.

You're welcome. They are good meds, I use them all the time. Each one does something beneficial for me. LLMDs want to see what the patient's response is to each one as it can give them a clue about other things.
If you're concerned about them you can always do what Sebreg suggested above.

Ivermectin was one of the best drugs for me. The blood in my body circulated better. Alinia was harder for me to take. I had to detox more and take it some days on and some days off.

I never tried the Ivermectin, but the Alinia gave me a horrible die-off, it was almost Hallucinatory. The herx lasted about a week, then it was no problem taking it at all -- except for GI troubles.
I took the Alinia for a period of eight months, along with various other bug-killing meds, but it didn't do me any good.
Mig, that is very encouraging. How much Ivermectin did you take? Did you start slow and build up? How long to stay on?

Sounds like Alinia is very rough for some people. I will be alternating. I day per week will be Ivermectin, the next week Alinia for three days only, then the next week one day of ivermectin, etc.
