I just finished a round of Tindamax. after the third day or so I started feeling absolutely perfect. I heard this drug really makes you herx like crazy, have otheres here had such good luck with Tindamax?
HOWEVER, I am getting super sharp pains in my back, neck, eyes, and legs. it is in concentrated spots, not an arthritis pain, but a small area that feels like it has been stabbed with an icepick. The pain doesn't last more than a few minutes, it's manageable. It has not happened to me since stopping the Tindamax, so I tend to think it is getting to the core of something. but boy are those pains sharp!

they're supposed to be 2 weeks on and 2 off, but insurance will not give me more than 20 pills every 28 days, which leaves me off 4 days....grrr.

I had great success with tindamax. I paired it with cipro, which is supposed to help shuttle abxs into the cells. The cipro also took care of my lingering bart. I took 500mg of tindamax and 250 mg of cipro twice daily with meals for about 6 months to knock out my symptoms.
I did not have any herx or side effects from tindamax or cipro, but I may have just been lucky. Recent studies have shown that tindamax is by far the best abx for all forms of LD. Flagyl came in second, but I had bad neuro and gastro side effects from flagyl, which is why I switched to tindamax. Then the studies came out showing how well tindamax worked, so the switch was fortuitous for me!

I get so confused with tindamax dosage because everyone is so different. We take it 2 days a week and that is it.
