We all know the stories about IV rocephin, I have now swiched to Zith. what have been your experiences on IV zith. It makes IV rocephine look like a walk in the park. I can't believe how hard this stuff hits the keets.

I am interested to hear other's experience.
So, what dose are you infusing?
How long did you do the rocephin

IV zith gave me a scarey herx in the third week. Maybe this won't happen to you, but Dr. B's guidelines says to expect an abrupt herx about that time.
Are you taking it with anything else?

I've been on iv zith - 500 mg once a day - since october 05. I have had minor improvements on it, nothing spectacular in my case, but I have heard of good results from others who have been on it.
I wish you the best of luck!

I had been on Rocephine for 6 weeks 4 grams 4 days per week while also taking 500mg zith and 400mg plaquinil orally. Curently 500mg IV with oral 400mg plaquinil. And the nerxing started after my first 30 min of infusing.

Sounds like you are knocking em dead, so to say.
Hang in there!
