I am starting Mepron soon.

Zitgh Mepron Bactrim Plaquenil will be my combo.

Already on Zith BActrim and Plaquenil

What should I expect with Mepron?

I have already done 3 months of Malarone but my LLMD wants me to do Mepron too.

I've had amazing success with Mepron. Sadly, I've had to do four rounds of it through out my five years of treatment but I think we finally got it under control.

Make sure you take a healthy fat with it to have it penetrate your system. It can sometimes be a bumpy road but I doubt it will be much different than some of the herxing you have already had with other combinations that you have taken.

Good luck and keep us posted on how you do.

beware of psychiatric symptoms: I was mildly hallucinating and had to stop; and aunt was hospitalized. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it can happen.
