Which is best, and what does it need to be taken with? I start

treating bart really soon, so I need to know.

Can't do Rifampin--already took it for a month w/ no success.

Hi there,

I did Levaquin, Septra and Tindamax for 5 months straight which didn't help me. I relapsed after being off meds for about a couple of weeks.

This time I'm on Biaxin, Septra and Flagyl.

Will not go back to the Levaquin/Septra routine because it was to painful and didn't work for me in the long run.

I think each treatment is different. It depends on what coinfections you're dealing with and other parameters come into play too.

Hope this helps.

Biaxin/Amoxi for one year took care of my bart. My LLMD says Azithro/Flagyl gets rid of everything (except babs).

I was on Biaxin for 10 months and it didn't touch my bart. Bart cleared in 3 months with Levaquin.

Levaquin + Zithromax or Cipro with Biaxin are good combinations for bartonella taken for 4-6 months.
