About to start this on Monday due to intolerance to Minocycline.

I'm curious what others are doing for dosages (if it makes a difference if one is male or female).

I can't post what I was prescribed as a dosage here so please PM me, thanks!

Ok that's what I thought - but what does 6qh stand for in Dr. B's guidlines?

q6h is the medical abbreviation for "every 6 hours"

q=every
h=hours

In Burrascano's guidelines, he uses q6h, which is what I believe you meant to type.

Penguingirl, I'm going to PM you too. Could you share what happened when you took minocycline? I've never tried it and am chicken.

I see - I am on point with his guidelines then [Smile]

Thanks for your PM Pugs!

Oh when I was on Mino I got VERY dizzy.. which was confusing to me because I had balance issues before starting any treatment.. but not AS bad as they were once I went on Mino!

Oh and I had way too many BM's in a day (like at least 20). I suspected yeast but have been good on diet and taking probiotics.

Go figure - after a few days of stopping Mino I have normalized in the BM dept.

Still somewhat dizzy and inbalanced (but not to the extreme degree I was while on Mino) so I guess that is still the lyme being present.

I guess my LLMD says that a lot of people have been successful with that.. but everyone is different so it's a trial and error process.

Why - do you have to go on Mino?

Tutu - I'm so scared to start Biaxin because when I took it years ago for some sinus infection, I got a vaginal yeast infection right away!

And of course I don't remember the dosage on that - but it is most likely nowhere what I will be on now!

I am armed with probiotics this time though and a yeast-free diet. Let's cross our fingers!!
