Anyone herx from Bicillon shots?

Just started them, have had 3 so far and feeling like I'm herxing.

Thanks so much for any help!

Anyone?

I think it would be normal to herx from Bicillin.

For me, I haven't felt like I really ever herx from them, although about an hour after being given the shot,

I have an overwhelming need to lie down for a cat nap.

The Tindamax I take on and off with the shots I feel more.

Maybe some more detox will help you feel better....

Hang in there!

Are you supposed to Herx from Bicillin shots?

Posted by robbiem (Member # 32092) on :

My daughter is presently taking Billicin shots, and to answer your question, yes, you herx.

She notices a definite die off starting very soon after administering the shot, she crashes and it lasts for approx a day to a day and a half.

As she has continued to treat, the herxing has subsided somewhat, FYI.

Like the others have said, I too crash soon after the injection. As soon as I recover...it's time for another injection. I guess it's a herx???
