Hi All,
I was having horrendous migraines on Ketek I am now off all anbx for 2 weeks and we regroup again.
Any one else experience this? I seem to remember people writing about it.
Blessings,
Jan

Marblenose, have you tried taking the Ketek 400mg. at a time instead of all at once?

When I started it, I had to start on one a day, work up to one in the morning and one at night, and now can take both pills together.

HI,
Yes, I split it up. I was on it for 9 weeks and noticed a correlation between migraines coming again after years and the Ketek.
I am resting the bod right now. We will regroup in 2 weeks and see what we shall see. Thanks for the response!
Blessings,
Jan

If I have a side effect to a drug it will manifest normally as a migraine.

But I havent had any problems with Ketek.

YES!

Horrendous headaches my first three weeks on ketek but not any more, been on ketek for 6 weeks. It was the same kind of headache I got when I started mepron-art-zithro 9 mnths ago.

The problem I have now is bad yeast, especially trush (sp). I don't know if it is the ketek or the other abx I am taking.

Take care,
Lymster
