What should a herx from bicillin be like?
How long? How often? How severe?

Posted by ByronSBell 2007 (Member # 11496) on :

I usually started herxing about day 2 after the injection and felt bad from day 2 to 3, sometimes the 4th day as well

Lately for me, I have been in the tank maybe becuase of season changes...so it's like an eternal herx

I didn't herx until about a week into it.

For me, they were very neuro-herxy, if that makes sense. [Wink]

Lots of ear ringing, sound sensitivity, weird eye ball feelings, dizziness, head pressure/pounding, ear pain etc etc

Not as rough as Mino in my opinion. And I didn't have GI issues (which I tend to experience with all orals).

So far progress is slow-going (if at all).

But I think it's a great alternative to Doxy and other orals.

Herxes get weaker and weaker each month.

I also like Bicillin cause you can do it alongside Babs treatment (Mepron/Zith).
