I forgot I took my 2 Biaxin earlier today and just took them again! [Frown]

So instead of 1000 mg today, I've taken 2000! [Eek!]

Is this serious???

There are people taking 1500mg per day long-term.
This abx accumulates in the body.

Hopefully your liver can make it.

There is nothing you could do at the time.

Extra Milk Thistle or Sylimarol?

I don't know but in the mean time drink lots of fluids, don't panic and skip tomorrow's dose.

Not medical advice but... the not panicking part is the most important thing.

You could call the pharmacy or beep the doc and see if this is something to worry about, if you're very worried.

You might get a good herx off it. (Good being a relative term!) Hang in there kiddo!


I'm sure someone smarter than me will wander by anytime now.

I am so concerned about doing that that I have a med chart made up -to keep track of the 20 + pills I have to take a day- and as soon as I take something I chart it with my initials.

I don't let anything sidetrack me on this one-it takes PRIORITY-just so I can spare myself the angst of "did I or didn't I ???? " Enough anxiety as it is.

It's all part of learning to take care of myself.

Hope all is well,
Carol

I hope you are O.K.. The Herx isn't too bad.

Pill cases I have several. I put all my doses of my pills in their compartments once a week. That way if they are gone I know I took them, or forgot. Works well for me.

Take care.
Love & Light,

Thanks all. Just an update. No herx, no stomach problems. Just a bit extra tired today.

Hey, maybe this is herxing and I should be taking the 2000 instead of the 1000 mg. per day. [Wink]

If you take something you really didn't want to you can take activated charcoal to absorb it.
