Flagyl is VERY hard and the hexes, at least for me, VERY BAD.This is what I should've followed, and I would'nt have gotten into trouble.
Also, I did not stop my Flagyl at the first sign of a herx (which by my LLMDs definition is INTENSE LYME SYMPTOMS that you have been experiencing, and NEW INTENSE SYMPTOMS that you may never have experienced before).
I lost a complete month when I had to go off Flagyl cause I did not follow my LLMDs advice of stopping abx (FLAGYL) at the first sign of a herx.
So, instead of loosing a day or two, I lost a whole month off abx, in order for me to tolerate going back on it.
Here's the schedule my LLMD gives his patients starting Flagyl for the TURTLE wins this race, not the HARE!!!
My LLMD starts out his Flagyl patients with 1/4 of a 250mg pill once a day.
Then day 2 1/4 pill twice a day...
3rd day 1/4 pill 3 times a day...
4th day 1/4 pill with breakfast and lunch,
1/2 pill with supper
5th day 1/2 pill with breakfast and supper,
1/4 pill with lunch
6th day 1/2 pill 3 times a day
7th 1/2 pill with breakfast and lunch,
1 pill with supper
8th day 1 pill with breakfast and supper,
1/2 pill with lunch
On day 9 goes to 1 pill 3 times a day.
Days 10-15 1 pil 3 times a day.
Days 57-63 500mg twice a day with breakfast and supper
Days 64-71 500 mg twice a day as above and add 250 mg with lunch
Days 72-120 500 mg 3 times a day with food.
Oh and by the way, I don't think that Diflucan is an antibiotic (abx), but, a drug to counter act the results of taking abx. Diflucan is for the control of YEAST which is caused by too much sugar and carbs and abx.
