I have been on Bicillin shots since February. I do 1,200,000 units twice per week. In the first month or month and a half, I almost got my brain back. It was incredible. The brain fog lifted a whole lot.

Well, I got a virus, and loss my gains. Since adding tindamax, I am finally feel like I am regaining some mental ground.

My question is, how long would you stay on the Bicillin? My LLMD had originally mentioned six months. At what point is just a good idea to switch it up?

Bicillin is so helpful for many that typically it is the foundation for treatment. I know some people who have been on it a couple of years with benefit.

Kudos on finding something that helps you!

I asked my LLMD this question, and the answer was:
as long as the patient can stand it (lol)

I did Bicillin 2x a week, with Tindamax 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off for a solid 6 months- maybe 7.

That's all I could stand it. Sure glad I did it.

Great, thanks for your feedback!

I recently read that Tindamax is only effective in two week pulses, but I'm only doing two days per week. Is that pointless?

Years of Bicillin?!? Woah.
