Just started Plaquenil ...Now taking it with Minocycline.
Any thoughts from your experiences?
A good brain drug? I need it!

Hi Patches
In Dr. H's book, plaquenil features prominently for bart and lyme treatment.
Also, it was mentioned favourably as an immune modulator.
Looks like a good one Posted by patches10025 (Member # 20983) on :
Thanks, GM.
I need a victory here. Getting late in this silly stupid condition. It really .ucks!

I heard a few people benefiting from it. I have just stopped it, after taking it for over 1 year. Quite honestly I don't feel it did anything.
I hope it at least did not contribute to my additional joint pain over treatment. A few more days/weeks & I will know the answer to that.

I have taken plaq for yrs, no problem. I have the HLA DR 4 genotype. I can tell when I stop plaq so just stay on it.

So far, in just a few days, I am feeling a little herxing on it.
Not too bad but it looks like it might be cooking those little boogers...

I am taking it with Minocycline.

take it with azithromycin and biofilm busters. when I took it with azi and lovenox injections against biofilm a got a big herx I did`t had for a long time. almost too much when you have to work.
mino is good but not enough i.m.o. exept if you already feel a herx with mino and plaquenil combo.
i.m.o. resistant bart is either parasite or mycoplasma like. bartonella itself should react very good an quickly. for resistant bart 3 months levo is by far not enough if it ever does something (not in my case, completely useless)
