I hit the Encephalitis wall about a week ago and had to stop at just 1 tsp/day.
I took the Mepron at 1 tsp/day for about 4 1/2 weeks although I started a bit less the first 2 weeks. Was taking with 250mg of Zithromax.
So, I've been holding all doses now x 7 days and I still feel like I'm Herxing. Lots of flaring of symptoms but I would think one of the dead give away symptoms are the bad chills I get when I have herxed in the past. I need a heater to keep warm.
I know it takes a while for the drug to clear out due to the long half life.
No way I could have stayed on it with the emotional crap I was having due to the encephalitis.
LLMD now says to try Malarone, so I will when/if this calms down.
Always scared I hit a new baseline.
So, tell me those of you that had to stop, did your Herx continue even holding as I am ?

Maybe it is the symptoms increasing from stopping the meds?
