Hi, I am not new here by any means but have not posted in a LONG time about myself. I am currently on Rifampin 300mg twice per day for bartonella along with ZIth for lyme.

I messed up this morning in my tired stupor and took 2 of my rifampin pills. SIGH

600mg at one time. Any ideas if I will hava a problem with this? I called poison control in a panic and she seemed to think It will be fine just possible stomach upset.

Any one else ever taken that much at one time?

Have any of you had a herx in the form of itching?

One of my bart symptoms is itchy bumps and itchy hard lumps on my ankles, it seems to be flared on the rifampin.

thanks,
pattie

Pattie,
I took 600 mg of Rifampin daily, and always took it all at once.You're fine! I did this because it was easier to have an empty stomcah once per day than twice.
Take care
Kris
