Having searched this sight, I find no positive comments on the above in terms of efficacy in treating Lyme.

Why then do I seem to be having very strong neuro herxes using this ATB as a "stand-alone treatment"?

IE: Body pain, brain fog, etc.

Does anybody have experiences with this ATB?

Thanks,

Perhaps it makes you herx but won't get you well??

I am taking this abx for a tooth infection and am experiencing the same type of effects. I even switched temporarily to Biaxin and felt alot more symptomatic from the erythromycin. It is a macrolide but it isn't a chosen abx for Lyme.

I am not expecting to see any long term improvement on this drug.

Thanks!!!!!!!...... Interestingly, though my LLMD did RX this, I also have a tooth infection!

There is something going on for sure.

I tried to stop the med and I got worse! Started back up, got better.

Will we ever really know?

Anybody else?
