For thos who took/are taking Rifampin, how long do you stay on it? I know Dr B's guidelines say 6-9 months.......

I was on it on three seperate occasions for six weeks each.

The first time I was miserable the entire time. The second and third time it really didn't bother me or seem to do much at all.

It helped tremendously with clearing the brain fog though the first time around. I am having a relapse of some sort over the last few weeks but thats one thing that hasn't come back.

Yes, it's in Dr B's 2005 treatment guidelines, under bartonella.

9 months....does it seem to have cleared the bart?
