I did for a little...was doing doxy/rifampin for a bit then had stomach probs so was put on rif/omni...felt like it wasnt hitting the bugs as much but thats just me...
Was definitely way easier on the stomach though...i was only on that combo for 2 weeks too..so not sure how much help i am...

I was on rifampin (pulsing) with a whole cocktail of other abx. Always doxy or mino, usually biaxin, usually either omicef or cefdinir (second and third generation cephalosporins) pretty much always flagyl. And sometimes cipro or levaquin.
Rifampin does not play well with others. It renders virtually all of them less effective, while they seem to boost the effectiveness of rifampin.
Suppressing the other abx is the real reason to pulse it; take it three or four days a week, then let the others go back to work on the lyme for a while.
