I went to see LLMD and he has started me on
500 mg of Clarithromycin for 2 weeks then take 1,000mg.

Im suppose to call him in a month and he will add another medicine.

Anyone here have experience taking this?

Biaxin is one of the brands and is often paired with Plaquenil. The combo hits both cystic and spirochete forms of lyme.

Biaxin is one of my favorites, though you may not see noticeable results until you step your dose up a notch and then add in another med.

Good luck.

FYI--some people don't like the taste of Biaxin. It never bothered me though.

Many get stomach upset and nausea on Biaxin, but it caused no problems for me. Sounds like you're off to a good start.

Thanks all! My dr just started me out only on the biaxin for a month he says.
I'm also taking probiotic and b complex...
I have noticed the taste in my mouth sort of metallic.

I just switched from Doxy / Flagyl to Biaxin (1000mg / day), Amantadine (200mg / day) and Flagyl (1000 mg pulse 3 days every 2 weeks.)

Supposedly the amantadine targets the Bb in the cell walls.

Only on day 2 of this new combo. Feels a bit weird so far.

Bite date ?
