LLMD has me taking 2 tablets 4 times a day this week and then 4 tablets 4 times a day next week. Then four tablets once daily.
Seems like an awful lot.....
I'm nervous about taking these because of possible herxing. What can I expect overall....
I'm currently on Azith 2X a day and Ceftin 1X every other day. No probiotics.

Nystatin only targets yeast in the gut. So I wouldn't worried about herxing.
WHY aren't you on probiotics? Do you want to get a yeast infection?

Of course I don't want to get a yeast infection.
I'm allergic to dairy, do not tolerate soy and don't really care for rice or coconut yogurt.

As long as you are following the diet, the herxing should not be bad. I took that much with no trouble, but I was following the diet.
Not being on probiotics .. high quality ones... is the biggest mistake you could ever make while on long term abx.

Yogurt is counterproductive, anyway .. too much sugar.
Buy some theralac.

Theralac has dairy in it.

Megaflora and Custom Probiotics are two very good quality pro.'s with no dairy. I need dairy free as well.
I herx/ed on Nystatin. Gut like herx plus neuro stuff. As you kill off the yeast in your gut, the left over toxics from the yeast can meander into your bloodstream IF you have a leaky gut situation.
I have always felt wrose while on Nystatin and then progressively better. I only took 2 per day as that is all I was able to handle at the time.

VSL#3 is a great probiotic and is pretty safe for dairy intolerant people.
