I have been on abx for about 5 weeks and the last 3 weeks I have been really dragging, more dizzy, anxiety,etc... I think i'm herxing.

But the last several days i have had diarrhea. Is this normal for herxing or a side effect from the abx? Just wondering if anyone could give me advice on what to do. I'm calling my dr. tomorrow, if it doesn't let up.

Thanks
Suexi

You need to talk to your doctor about the GI symptoms.

It could be a side effect that needs to be dealt with, and you doctor might need to run some tests.

There is a bacteria that can take over your intestines that can be very bad for your health.

Also that could be a symptom of a yeast overgrowth. Make sure you are taking LOTS of probiotics! If you have not already, buy some in pill form at your local health food store.

But do talk to your doctor about this! It is always good that he/or she knows about stuff like this.

I hope you start feeling better!! [Big Grin]
