how many miligrams is needed of biaxin to actually kill lyme?
what does 250 miligrams do? bcuz i just started on it . by the 10th day i have to work my way up to 1000 mg
but the 250 seems to be making me feel really crappy. i started taking 250 mg on friday and felt fine. also felt fine on saturay and ok yesterday. today I feel like just crashing. i just feel out of it and tired

Daughter was only up to 250mg, and felt very tired, weak, headaches, dizzy.
Hope it passes. Good luck

If you have a heavy load of pathogens or a high load of toxins, a small dose can make you feel pretty sick. It is the die off that causes most of the symptoms.
As I said in your previus post, your doctor should be notified so they can advise you of the appropriate action to take. You are paying them for the expertise AND since they are responsible for prescribing this medication, I'm sure they would want to know.
