Ive been through 2 perscriptions of Biaxim. 2 pills twice a day.
Only change in my health I noticed is no more muscle twitches.
Still have massive fatigue, bad sleep, sore muscles, blurry vision.
Can this be seen as progress?
Got Lymes about 2 years ago and was given the standard doxy for 2 weeks. DIDNT WORK AT ALL

Biaxin, a macrolide, is often combined with a cell wall abx, such as ceftin or Bicillin and a cyst buster, flagyl or tindamax.

Plaquenil makes Biaxin work better. Also, it's even better combined with a cell wall abx as janet said. So, with BOTH a cell wall AND Plaquenil are how I took Biaxin.

JF,
Two months is not that long. I've also been on Biaxin and Plaquenil since March. Also had several episodes of muscle twitching over a several day period, which never was a primary sympton before ABX treatment.
I've had some improvements in short term memory and a little more drive to do things, then some setbacks, no real 30 day cycle noticed yet... except around the time of a full moon. Seams a get a few good days then setback for a few weeks before noticing improvements.
