Does anyone else have Minocycline as part of their treatment protocol?
My LLMD/ND just switched me from Plaquinil to Minocycline (in addition to zithromax and 2x weekly IM bicillin). I also started 10mg of Lexapro (severe LR depression).
I staggered starting the new meds so that I would be able to tell what med was making me feel what way.
Since starting Minocycline my heart has been racing, my hand tremors are 10x worse, I'm very disoriented and dizzy and my vision is blurring. I'm aware of the possible visual side affects of Plaquinil, which I was on for 30 days.
Has anyone else had these reactions? I emailed my Dr about the side effects but haven't heard back. I'm wondering if this is par for the course or if I should be concerned.
Thanks!

I was super dizzy and had no balance on Mino. I was on it for 6 weeks (it was so-so the first week or so) then I got major balance issues and ear pain. Also the run 20x a day.
I switched to Biaxin which has been much better for me.

Thanks Penguingirl =)
I was on Biaxin for 8 weeks and was switched to Plaquinil. Gotta love the medication tango!
