Just started on this, wondering if anyone else has been on this and when you began to herx?

Yes, currently on it for about two months. Great for me.
Herxing...a little. I had some fatigue, muscle aches.

Are you feeling better on it? I was worried that if I didnt have a bad herx, then it wasnt working???

The question is WHY does it help so many? Anti-inflammatory effects? Kills a certain bug? That's what I want to know.

I am on it and didn't have such a bad herx. I do feel like I am progressing. I am taking it with Suprax. The only thing is my darned ears !! They feel so full and I hear my pulse all the time. (pulsating tinitus) So annoying.

I took it for a few days and had major anxiety... Had to get off of it and back on Ceftin and Azith
Wonder if the anxiety was a herx?

I had the anxiety/depression/psychiatric issues herx with it at first, too (and it repeated a few times earlier on in treatment with this drug)- I always found that if I took a few days off the drug, till the depression went down, then re-started, the problems would stay away for quite a while. Eventually it stopped causing me the depression or anxiety altogether.

Biaxin is the best meds that worked for me when i thought i was going to die not eating anything. It helped me with my GI issues and neruological symptoms. Been off and on it for about a year now.
