1500 mg Amoxy(working my way to 3000 mg) split into 2 doses 250/100 mg Malarone/day (ok, not ABX but that's the combo for now, k?)

Hello --
7 g/day amoxy (3.5g BID) 250/100 malarone
By the way -- the increase to 7g/day amoxy helped me in ways that the 3-4 g/day that I had taken for several months did not.
My llmd is examing my blood levels of amoxy to see if I can go up to 12g/day amoxy, and I am all for it. (Weigh 135 lbs). It has been pretty benign and easy to handle abx for me, whereas doxy made me feel awful even though it helped.

Just looking to see what abx's are used for lyme and coinfections by LLMD's Lists of them. Maybe I havent been on one theres no hidden agenda. Also curious as to dosages I know when I began my doses seemed higher. I have been doing abx now since march 2001 specificaly for lyme and coinfections.

Andie333, I've been on ceftin 1000mg/day for 3 months and my LLMD said that was a mistake of the pharmacy and I should have been on that amount twice a day.
I just picked up my refill and am a little nervous since I get a dull ache just below my stomach at the lower dose shortly after taking it.
youve been taking even more than that---no problem in the gut for you?

1000 mg. Ceftin/day Alternate Levaquin 500mg./day and Artemisinin 3x/day in one month intervals.Have tried mino at 200mg/day but didnt tolerate well. Cindy

Minocycline 100mg x twice a day. Mepron - two spoonfuls a day. Zith - 250 mg twice a day Artemisinin - 400 mg a day (down from three doses to 2)
The mino was wretched in the beginning -- heart palpitations, dizziness, weakness.. tapered off after a couple weeks and isn't bad any more! However, adding it solved a several-year long problem of uncontrolled diarrhea that did not respond to ANY OTHER MED. :-)

Hubby is currently on the Clin/plaq/biaxin rotation. He's having a rough time with it. I know that means dieoff, but he feels like he is going backwards again.

200 mg mino per day
I am not yet seeing an llmd -- have not yet been able to find one taking new patients. I am on a waiting list, though.
My current doc believes in long term abx for lyme, so I will stick with him until I can get in with an LLMD.
Probably need to be tested for co-infections at some point.
Getting better on the mino, though. So no complaints.
