bad herxing bad doc says take a break i am on day 3 of the break and i don't have any let up of my neuro fog or the funky vision prosessing
i have not had any ABX for 3 days but i am still taking my usual sup caps of mag, B12 shots, fish oil, mangosteen, garlic, tumeric, cordyceps, andrographas and tons of probiotics
do i have to stop taking this stuff also to get the real relief of a break during a herx?
any input about this from your experiences, i would be very greatful
i just don't know what to do
Thanks Scott

you might want to stop andrpgraphis,

Hey Scott, It depends on the abx that you are taking a break from. The half-life of each abx is different with many of them staying in your system for up to a week after you stop taking them. It took 7 days of being off doxy for me to notice a relief in symptoms.
Hang in there and don't get discouraged!

Yes, andrographis is quite strong. Plus, you probably won't feel *well* during a break, you're just not adding to the toxin load.

Hi paul, up until i stopped 3 days ago i am on 1X im bicilin every Monday then a Mon-Wed-Fri plan of 1x 500mg Zith, 1x Bactrim ds, 1X 150 myco and 1x thur-fri 500mg flagyl with weekends off except for my above listed sups those have been every day,
just got my every 2 week blood work and liver and the rest look good.
why am i so afriad to back off i feel like i should but i cant help but take all my supps atleast and 'm wondering if this is the reason i still am in a big brain herx
thanks for any input guys Scott

Six, why take the break at all then?
Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
To stop adding to the toxins for a few days during a herx so that your body has time to clear them a bit.
Generally, I didn't take breaks for more than one dose.

It took eight or nine days for me to recover from a Bactrim herx once I quit taking it.
My LLMD then told me to take a one week break and try Bactrim again.
