Amoxi is usually much higher dosage & taken with probenecid (to keep amoxi levels in body longer).
your dosages are low, that's all. Diflucan is at the thereputic dose though.

actually, 6,000 mg amoxicillin...seems excessive?

Thats what I thought at first but it is the only thing that ever helped w/my headpressure.
I have been treating almost 2 years and I think high dose amoxy is the first thing that has actually helped even a bit.
Pamela Weintraub (Cure Unknown) also spoke of high dose amoxy as being the thing that saved her.

I agree, that's a low amoxy dosage. I took 2500 mg three times per day for a total of 7500 mg.!! I also took the probenecid to keep the amoxy working longer.
I had a peak level blood test done to see if I had the right dosage, and my dosage was raised to this.

good to know..thank you. Just curious if I should stick to doxy with amoxycillin or try minocycline, I can't find much about mino working.

KC,
My husband is currently taking Amoxicillin with Doryx (a form of doxicycline ), and (knock wood) it's helping with his head/neck/spine symptoms.
The first month of Amoxi was at a high dose (near sixgoofykids') to load up his system. The pharmacist even called LLMD's office to check that the dose was correct! This did help; we found that detoxing was especially important with a high dose like this.
He's now on a lower dose, but is also taking a host of pharmas and supplements.
He has been on Mino in the past, including a recent attempt at the Amoxi plus Mino. If you can tolerate the Mino, it can be a great drug for CNS symptoms. His experience in the past was that it caused dizziness for about 3 weeks, which then faded. This time around, the dizziness was too severe for him to tolerate, hence the switch to Doryx.
Hop this helps. Viva
