I herx with most antibiotics but not diflucan. Though it is said that diflucan can hit lyme also.

It might.. it in no way compares to regular herxes.. esp if you are following the diet at the same time.

It doesn't compare to regular herxes as in the symptoms of herx from diflucan are different, or it doesn't compare as in it's not as bad?

my first dose of Diflucan hit me really hard - I thought my legs were going to buckle. This happened to one other person I know. But only the first dose, then I never felt a thing with subsequent doses - in fact, I felt sooo much better after that first dose.
So take your first dose when you do not have plans & can just stay home, lay low, drink fluids, rest if need be.
Another friend said she felt the best she has ever felt in her Lyme struggle when she was getting a steady dose of Diflucan. So be grateful you have access to it.

- Both .. but be sure to watch your diet .. it will minimize the die-off.

I've had no herx-like reactions when I've taken Diflucan. It's a very helpful medicine. Like ESG said, be grateful you have access to it!!!

I have yet to take the diflucan because I spoke to my pharmacist who said that diflucan can cause an increase in qt intervals with the heart. Another medication I am on does this as well but I have had an Ekg with my current med and everything seemed to be ok and I haven't had issues with it.
Anway now I am concerned about this as well and will have to get back up with my dr. She was aware of all my meds but you never know.
Just in case, are there any good substitutes for diflucan?
