I had Lyme's disease about 4 years ago and was treated through IV antibiotics.I started on Doxycycline, for about 6 weeks, before the IV which I stayed on for aboout 3 more weeks.
This time I am much worse. I am seeing a nuerologist right now, as my head is going in every which direction. Everyone thinks I am crazy. I really dont know if I just had an allergic reaction to the SSRI, which caused the Lyme's disease to come back.
There is always a possibility I was bitten, but I didn't develop the rash as I did the first time.
Three months ago I started taking Celexa, which started all my symptoms. I only took 20 pills. Three weeks after taking celexa, I was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease. I can't take the medicine as the pain in unbearable. Can you get lyme's disease without being bit again, when your body your immune system is low? I can't tell if I had adverse reactions from the Celexa or if I had lyme's disease and the Celexa just brought out all the symptoms. Before celexa I was fine, besides being slightly down.
No matter what I do I have pain, but the antibiotics make it worse. What should I do????
