I was feeling somewhat ok and then today,wham feel like crap.

I'm on lariam,,cipro/doxy.

I can't tell what's what at this point.

Can you still have flares in the bab/bart while treating.

I was so depressed over the weekend as the meds made me so sick. I think it was the larium.

Any thoughts at this point would be great.

Janice

Yes, you can definetely have flares, or the toxins are being killed so fast your body can handle to detox load

Try and do all the detox things. Drink lemon water, take warm epsom salt baths, some people do dry saunas (as long as you don't have a pic or port)

You will get better. You will get through this.
Hang in there!!

How long have you been on these meds? It sounds like it could be a herx to me.

Lariam can really affect your emotions, so you may want to talk to your LLMD about possibly lowering the dose if it's too much to handle. I had to do that a few months ago.

I have only been on the meds about three weeks if that.

The herxing really started about one week after taking it.

I only take 250mg of lariam as it is. Maybe I could cut it in half?

I relapse every fall and am currently in one. I was feeling very well and have been going downhill for about a month. It isn't a herx. It is abx failure.

I hope yours is just a herx.

Yes!

Also, a big herx usually occurs every 3-5 wks... sounds like you just hit that?
