Is it and thats why when with zithro I'm jumping out the window with anxiety, and ocd running rampid. Myllds wants me to keep going, down to another layer of lyme. did orals today,no iv rocephin and oral zithro. She saw me in 2004 and swears its as bad as then. I know flagyl and tindimax, but bactrim. Have deep lyme and bart for years. Thanks for all that have been hanging in with me and listening to this insanity. I wish you health.

Hi,
I don't think bactrim is considered a cyst buster, but it's a bartonella and babesia drug. Herxes from any of those infections or from Lyme herx can cause anxiety. Hang in there!

I just finished several weeks of zith and bactrim for Bart. Before that my smear showed Bart-like organisms e.g. before starting Zith/bactrim most of my red blood cells had bacteria attached or nearby. 5 weeks later those bacteria had vanished. Now I do not know the identity of the bug. It was cuboid shaped, it was in close association with the RBC's and it dissappeared on antibiotics that Bart does not like and I feel a whole lot better without them. I have to settle for that.

I agree Bactrim treats bartonella and anything that kills bart causes a lot of emotional herxing. I hope you feel better soon.

I got totally well on 2 months bactrim and rifampin (after a few years of various abx). Three weeks after stopping, I got sick again.
Bactrim rocks! Not sure what it hits or what it should be combined with to knock whatever it is out of the park, but I think it has the potential.

My now famous lyme doc says that bactrim treats babesiosis and bartonella.

TF-I have done ALL the abx to treat both of those. Including IV levaquin. Nothing got me nearly as well as the bactrim combo. I wonder if it has something to do with BLO?

blinkie--I don't know, but it is a good thought. In my case, Igenex said I had bartonella.
